Rachael Ostovich was beaten up so badly in Hawaii on Sunday she had to be sent to the hospital. The 27-year-old star’s orbital bone had been shattered and police are now calling the domestic violence case a ‘second-degree assault’ and it’s a felony.
Though the Honolulu police department would only say the suspect was a ’27-year-old male,’ the site MMA Fighting has claimed it was her husband Arnold Berdon, 27 – a professional boxer – who was the one who beat her up. Together they have a daughter Ruby Rose. No arrests have been made yet.
It was also announced that her injuries are so severe she had to cancel her big January 19 fight with Paige VanZant in Brooklyn – a fight that was going to be a career maker for the boxer.
Also on Tuesday, TMZ reported the brunette filed a restraining order against her husband. The order was temporarily granted and will last until May 18, 2019.
