Jaleel White's abuse allegations

According to Dailymotion, Bridget claimed that Jaleel White verbally and physically abused her in 2010, leading to their divorce. Here is what she said;

It was as hard as he could have hit me… And we're arguing in the back room by the bathroom, and we're standing in the doorway of the bathroom, and I wanted to go in. I'm like, “Can I go to the bathroom, please?” He grabs me and shoves me up against the toilet, and it breaks.

She added;

When we were pulled over in the car, arguing, and he smacked me across the chest as hard as he could. He thought I had called him something else that I hadn't called him. And from there, he was like, I'm going to take you to the police station right now. And I was like, No, I don't need any trouble. I didn't want him to get in trouble. I didn't want anything to go out in the public. So I said, Just take me home.

The actor dismissed Bridget's allegations, stating that while their relationship had its fair of challenges, he never engaged in physical or verbal abuse towards Hardy. He felt that his ex-girlfriend brought up these allegations, previously resolved in 2010, in hopes of financial gain.

When you're doing well in life, it's par for the course certain individuals will try and knock you down. When the individual is also the mother of your only child it is particularly hurtful. The allegations made against me back in 2010 have suspiciously resurfaced in time to coincide with my new show on Syfy and Dancing With The Stars. Bridget Hardy has consistently shown a knack for timing throughout our child custody disputes.
