From People:

Kelly Rutherford says she twice called the police on estranged husband Daniel Giersch recently, adding the German entrepreneur frightened her and yelled at her within inches of her face, court documents reveal.

About one or two months later in Los Angeles, Giersch "had cornered me and come within inches of my face. He would not back away," Rutherford claims in the court papers. "I was crying and [he] was yelling at me. I remember [him] again saying that I was 'going to learn' and he was again threatening to take Hermes away.'"

My Comments:

Abusive relationships are often a two way street.

Giersh may have yelled but he never hit her. She on the other hand did the typical abusive wife bit. She called the police. An abusive husband is likely to get physical. An abusive wife may get physical in trying to get the husband to put her in a position where she can cry to the police; but her ultimate goal is to have her husband locked up.

Do some men deserve to be locked up? Yes.

It is much more difficult to tell when the wife is truly the victim or the victimizer. It is hard to know whether she calls the police because she is truly scared or whether she is in fact using the law to hurt her husband.

If every couple called the police every time they have a shouting match the police would not have time to investigate real crimes. Yelling is actually a good way to relieve tension and stress without actually getting fighting mad. But if is going too far, both people in the relationship need to say time out and walk away to regain perspective.

If it becomes something that is constant where never a kind word is said or the people in the relationship just no longer enjoy one another's company, it is time to just end it, and that means ending the bullshit hate as well. Let it go. End it where neither party is considered at fault. Be civil. Especially where children are involved, it is important the name calling and hate talk comes to an end.

Kelly Rutherford not ending the relationship in a civil fashion or trying to play the victim (whether it is true or not) does not help her cause. Trash talk generally hurts the person throwing it more than it hurts the person on the receiving end.

Lucy could not live with Desi because he cheated on her. But they remained friends. She grieved when he died.

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis remain friends even though their marriage did not work.

Anyway, this is just peanut gallery celeb talk and who knows what the reality is of any relationship.
