The marriage of Pam Shriver, retired US tennis player and the fourth cousin of Maria Shriver who is the First Lady of California, and former James Bond actor George Lazenby [wikipedia], has hit the rocks. Pam Shriver, 46, filed papers for divorcing her husband of six years George Lazenby, 69, PerezHilton.com reported.
The couple filed for divorce last week. And, on Thursday afternoon, she filed for a restraining order against Lazenby.
The actor is now required to stay at least 100 yards away from her at all times. That includes from her work and from her vehicle.
She goes on to claim that Lazenby even threatened to kill her if she attempted to gain full custody of their three children. She also believes that his "severe anger management issues, alcoholism and poor parenting skills" will place their 4 year-old and 2 year-old twins at risk.
Those are some strong accusations.
And we hope this isn't true, but according to Shriver, her soon to be ex-husband has in the past even offered their kids beer from beer bottles and ice from scotch glasses. He's supposedly also objected to certain things like the kids having to wear sunblock, brush their teeth, sitting in their car seats, or even going to the doctor.
Craziness. And it gets even worse.
Shriver is also claiming that shes the victim of domestic violence and has been bruised many times by Lazenby. And that at times he even got violent with the kids, once even throwing their two year old son "in his bed with extreme force."
She goes on to say, that as recently as last week, he slapped his other two year old with the TV remote control because the child was crying while Lazenby was trying to watch golf in "peace and quiet."
And even MORE, she's requesting to keep possession of their three kids' passports, since she's scared that her Australian-born hubby might smuggle her kids out.
