Tamar Braxton is reportedly denying her boyfriend David Adefeso’s claim that he’s a victim of domestic abuse. Sources claim the Braxton Family Values star alleges that Adefeso is the aggressor and corroborates rumors that he’s controlling and using her for fame.
Adefeso reportedly became upset over Braxton questioning his intentions for their relationship and his mention of a murder-suicide set off an explosive fight.
David Adefeso hints to domestic violence in his restraining order request against Tamar Braxton
According to TMZ, Adefeso filed paperwork in LA county on September 8 seeking a restraining order against Braxton. The request asks that Braxton stay away from him and protects him against domestic violence.

Braxton has been receiving treatment for mental health following an attempted suicide in July 2020. She credits Adefeso with saving her life and standing by her side throughout the ordeal.

While driving Braxton to check into a mental health facility, the source claims Braxton questioned Adefeso’s recent Instagram video of him with her son. The couple began arguing and Braxton allegedly told Adefeso that he’s “around for the wrong reasons and can not be trusted.”
Adefeso allegedly became irate, threatening both his life and Braxton’s and told her they’d end up in a “murder-suicide.” He then allegedly became violent, grabbing and bruising Braxton’s arm. There are photos to prove such, according to the report. Braxton allegedly only became violent back with Adefeso to defend himself.
