Thicke accused of tampering

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Attorneys for Robin Thicke’s ex-wife in a court filing made public Thursday accused the singer of tampering with a court order.

The documents by attorneys for Paula Patton filed this week accuse Thicke of altering a custody court order and attempting to get her arrested in front of their 6-year-old son during a bitter custody dispute.

The filing became public a day before a trial is scheduled to begin in Patton’s efforts to obtain a five-year restraining order against the “Blurred Lines” singer.

Patton has accused Thicke of being physically abusive to her during their marriage, and severely spanking their son.

In late January, she obtained a temporary restraining order requiring Thicke to stay away from her and have only supervised visits with their son.

Thicke has denied he has abused his son and his former attorney has said there was no basis for Patton’s domestic violence allegations and called them retaliatory. Phone and email messages left seeking comment from one of Thicke’s current attorneys, Angela Pierce DiDonato, were not immediately returned.

Patton contends the singer’s alleged alteration of a court custody order and attempts to get her arrested are part of an effort to harass, intimidate and cause her emotional distress and constitute domestic violence.
