Oh wow, this custody battle just took a major swing into the dumps. Actress Paula Patton petitions the court for an emergency hearing to alert the Court that her ex-hubby Robin Thicke is abusing their 6 yr old son Julian. As a matter of fact Julian alerted his teacher at school that his father was beating him excessively. And the school contacted Paula and Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Robin denies that it is excessive. Of course he does. (Rolls eyes!) Paula is requesting that Robin only have monitored daytime visits, however, the judge denied her request for an emergency hearing.
Paula alleges that Robin has been physically abusive toward their son. "Over the past year, I have become concerned about [Robin]'s drinking and drug use, as well as the forms of punishment he is using to discipline Julian," Paula wrote in her declaration. "My concerns culminated on January 4, 2017, when Julian's school called Department of Child Family Services (DCFS) to report what they believed to be credible allegations of abuse from Julian against [Robin]."
Paula goes on to allege that Robin has been spanking Julian excessively. "We asked him to show us how hard, and I asked him to hit me on my back," Patton claims, saying she responded with an "ow." She adds, "Julian said it was worse than that."
In his declaration, Robin says, "It is my belief that Paula holds residual anger toward me because I and my family would not permit her or her family to attend the funeral of my father on December 20, 2016." Awww dayum, that was fucked up. Paula and Robin had been together since they were 15 yrs old so she knew his family for 21yrs, before the divorce. And I've never heard or read anywhere that either of them was dissing the other one. Paula claims that she loved Alan. I think she and her family should have been allowed to attend the funeral. I wonder if Julian was banned from the funeral too? Tsk tsk tsk, that's just wrong on so many levels. Robin has every right in the world to ban people from his fathers' funeral, but just make sure the banned party deserves to be banned. So unless Alan and Paula were fighting constantly, she should have been allowed to say goodbye and to attend the funeral.
Alan Thicke died suddenly on Dec. 13 at the age of 69. Robin says in the docs that Paula "did not have a positive relationship with my father."
Paula also wrote a sweet message for Robin's late father. "I knew Alan since I was 15 years old and he had a tremendous effect on my life," Paula Instagrammed alongside a picture of the smiling actor. "I loved and respected him so much! So many great memories and laughs together. We will miss him so much! His grandson is quite sure he is still here with us in spirit."
Robin also notes that he is complying with the DCFS investigation and is meeting with a social worker on Thursday with his son. "I understand that the social worker has already met with Julian, Paula, and employees from Julian's school, and that DCFS has not sought to remove Julian from my care, placed any restrictions on my custody, nor instructed Paula to withhold Julian from me. I have certainly not heard from anyone in this regard at any time," he says.
Ultimately, the court found "there is insufficient showing of great or irreparable harm, immediate danger, or any other statutory basis" to grant Paula's emergency request today.
Paula and Robin married in 2005 after dating since they were teenagers. They welcomed son Julian in April 2010, but announced their split in February 2014 after almost nine years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in March 2015.
