Actress Countess Vaughn granted a restraining order against her longtime boyfriend...
From TMZ
According to docs obtained by TMZ, the '90s sitcom star claimed David Benjamin Richard Whitten chucked bleach at her face back in June to keep her from working as an actress.
Countess says the BF has felt insecure anytime she moves up in her career, and she's endured a decade of physical, verbal and emotional abuse from him -- including alleged slapping, beating, strangulation and sexual assault.
She says Whitten has threatened to leak explicit videos of her and even threatened to kill her at times. She's got a couple kids -- one with Whitten -- and she fears for their safety if Whitten is allowed to have contact with them.Whitten must stay at least 100 yards away from Countess and her children. The next hearing is set for September.
