‘Family Matters’ Star Darius McCrary Responds to Claims of Spousal and Child Abuse (UPDATE)

Darrius McCrary’s wife, Tammy Brawner, had the restraining order issued this week.

According to The Jasmine Brand:

Tammy got a restraining order against Darius, alleging that earlier in the month, he repeatedly became physically violent with her and their one-year-old daughter, Zoey.

In the documents, Tammy recalled an incident in which she claims Darius held their daughter over a boiling pot of water, saying he wished he never had her. The mother also accused him of frequently spanking their daughter and sometimes even strapping her arms during meals.

She also alleges that on February 10, Darius began hurling picture frames and other objects around the house, coming dangerously close to hitting the baby. She also accused him of hitting her in the head with his forearm. She says he regularly drinks and uses drugs, and when he comes home wasted, he gets violent.

Darius was prompted to move out of the residence he shared with Tammy and to remain more than 100 feet from her and their child.

Darius also has a history of physical abuse including a 2010 claim of violence by ex-wife, Karrine Steffans.

Darius McCraray’s lawyer responded mentioning that his wife will do anything to be mentioned in the blogs:

“[Tammy] is no victim … she is a predator motivated by a desperate desire to extort money out of Mr. McCrary while trying to create an advantage in an impending divorce and custody battle….Having floundered after being fired by the Globetrotters she apparently will say anything for a bit of media attention and a glimpse of the spotlight.”

Darius also responded via a series of Instagram posts proclaiming his innocence.

UPDATE: TMZ now reports that Darius’ wife has also been ordered by a judge to stay away:

In new legal docs requesting a restraining order, obtained by TMZ, Darius says the way it went down … she became verbally abusive before hurling the iron his way, burning his chest and causing a 2nd degree burn.

He says she has a history of violence and he’s had to call the cops 3 times. He says she’s threatened him with a knife.

Darius puts a theory in his legal docs. He says Tammy — a former Harlem Globetrotter — is “desperate for stardom” and he’s worried she’ll neglect their daughter to achieve newfound fame. He also says she’s super competitive with him and jealous of his fame.

Now get this … a judge granted Darius’ request for a TRO and ordered Tammy to move out of the family house. But she also got a TRO which required him to pack his bags and leave.

  1. HIs response doesn’t even make sense. So your wife takes out a restraining order just to make it on TMZ? Well alright. If you say so.
