After it was revealed earlier this month that police had been called to the home of former MLB pitcher Carl Pavano and his ex-wife nine times in the past two years, more egregious allegations have emerged against Pavano.
Initially, Pavano was accused of “controlling behavior,” including name-calling, cutting back on her expenses, and threatening to keep her children amid an ugly prenuptial battle.
Their divorce was finalized last December, but a new court filing filed by Pavano’s ex, Alissa, claims that Pavano urinated in her shampoo bottles and “intentionally soiled the bed in which Plaintiff sleeps during his parenting time by having his female sexual partners occupy the bed,” according to CT Insider.

Pavano then allegedly “removed all clean bedding from the home so that plaintiff would not be able to have a hygienically clean and safe bed during her parenting time.”
The former pitcher also allegedly sent photos of “multiple firearms placed on the kitchen table” to Alissa and his children in a group chat shortly after the divorce papers were served.
Currently, the couple shares custody of their three children and alternates weeks with them in a house in Fairfield, Connecticut. Pavano owns the house through a trust.
Alissa accused the former pitcher of forcing her to sign the prenuptial agreement, which she claims is one-sided.

“A prenuptial agreement is an acceptable way for people, before marriage, to condition how their financial interests and responsibilities will be determined after marriage,” Alissa’s attorneys said in a brief, via New York Post.
“It should not be an acceptable way for a wealthy spouse who has already started a family with his partner to force her to give up her financial independence and then gain financial advantage in the prenuptial agreement under the threat of taking away her minor children and leaving her destitute.”

Pavano pitched for the Montreal Expos, Florida Marlins, New York YankeesCleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins, being named an All-Star in 2004. He pitched to a career ERA of 4.81, and his biggest salary came from the Yankees. However, he only made 26 starts in his four seasons with them and is widely considered one of their worst signings.
