Columbus Short Claims Wife Busted His Eye Open After Kicking, Throwing Puppy

Columbus Short makes it sound like his wife is not a dog person … because he claims she kicked and threw a 10-week-old puppy before getting violent with him.

The ex “Scandal” star beelined it to court this week and filed for a temporary restraining order against his wife, alleging a series of domestic violence incidents involving him and the puppy.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Columbus claims his wife Aidaroughed up his 10-week-old pooch on Monday … and when he confronted her, she got physically violent and hit him multiple times in the face, busting his eye open and drawing blood.

Columbus says a concerned neighbor heard Aida “screaming very loudly as if she was being murdered” and called police … and he says when cops showed up, they saw bruising on him and arrested Aida.

It sounds like this isn’t the first alleged violent outburst involving the puppy … Columbus claims he brought the pooch home June 21 and Aida got upset when the dog peed inside and started kicking the dog. Columbus says he took a stand and Aida used a glass trophy to injure him.

Columbus claims he faces daily verbal abuse from his wife in full view of their two children … and he says Aida is “emotionally unstable.” He even says she’s used knives against him and has bitten him.

He wants a judge to order Aida to stay 100 yards away from him, the kids and two dogs at all times … and he wants her kicked out of the family home, but says she should still be required to pay rent.
