Paula Patton won temporary custody of her six-year-old son on Thursday,
after her mother had to call police when her ex Robin Thicke showed up
and demanded to see their child earlier this month.
And now more details are emerging about the couple’s tumultuous – and
allegedly abusive – relationship, thanks to court documents filed in the
custody case.
In the papers, Patton, 41, claims that Thicke, 39, has been a long-time
drug abuser, cheated on her shamelessly and even beat her on occasion.
But Thicke himself said that he believes the sudden custody fight stems
from Patton’s anger that she wasn’t invited to his father,actor Alan
Thicke’s funeral in December.
But Patton’s lawyer Larry Bakman says that his client legitimately
fears for her life. In February 2014, Patton says Thicke exploded at her
in front of their son and his nanny.
‘I was in Vancouver filming a movie entitled Warcraft. Robin and Julian
came to stay with me for the weekend. Robin told me that as part of my
Valentine’s gift, he was going to wake up with Julian that day (which
was an extraordinarily unusual action for him to take), so that I could
sleep in.
‘When Julian woke up that morning, the nanny brought him
into our room. I asked him whether he was going to get up and watch our
son, and Robin lost control. In front of our nanny and in front of
Julian, he jumped out of bed naked, screaming. Julian was upset and
frightened by this unexpected rage (as was I),’ Patton said.
A few days after the Vancouver incident, the two decided to separate.
‘Robin quite simply emotionally wore me down. I felt abused,
disrespected and depressed. I wanted out of this marriage as I did not
have the strength to go another day with Robin given the emotional
cost,’ she said.
Another issue that Patton brought up in the court documents was Thicke’s shameless infidelity.
His wandering eye ruined her Valentine’s Day in 2013, when Patton says
he treated her to a stay at L.A.’s Chateau Marmont hotel. She says they
rented two bungalows and that Thicke invited friends over to party.
Later, she says they ‘made love’ in one of the bedrooms and she fell
asleep.
But while she was asleep, Patton says Thicke tried to have sex with one of the other party attendants in another bedroom.
‘When I confronted Robin about this, he admitted to attempting to have
sex with the stranger, but stated that he ended up being unable to do so
because of the amount of cocaine that he used that evening had caused
him to be unable to perform … Julian was in another room with our nanny
at the time,’ Patton said.
Later that year, he went on tour, and when he returned Patton says her
husband ‘told me that he had unprotected sex with seven other women’.
‘He then informed me that [a tabloid] had found out about this and that
they were going to expose him. In exchange for better treatment, Robin
offered them an exclusive interview.
‘He wanted me to hear about the
unprotected sex from him as opposed to reading it in the tabloids. I
immediately had myself tested for sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS
given his representation that his having sex with other women was
unprotected,’ she said.
Patton says she even caught him in the act once – after the MTV VMA’s that same year.
After the taping of the awards show, I went to our room only to find
Robin in bed with two naked women. I left the hotel, wandered the
streets of New York and called my brother crying,’ she said.
That was the same awards show that Miley Cyrus grinded up on Thicke for a
performance of his hit Blurred lines. His inability to commit to one
woman continued even after they separated.
In April 2014, Patton says that Thicke stated that he wanted to get back together and that he was making an album about her.

But on one visit home, on a break from filming in Vancouver, Thicke left
his phone out and she glimpsed a text message to his friend Rich,
asking him to come over to the house because he had ‘six naked women’
there.
I asked Robin about the text. He told me that he had sex with one of the
girls in the guest bedroom. He told me that he had thrown a manicure
and pedicure party for the six naked women in our family home.
‘I told him that was the end. Robin agreed to a divorce and told me that
he had very little money left and that he would most likely end up
living in an apartment in the Valley,’ Patton recalls.
In another incident, on the day before Christmas Eve in 2013, Patton
says her husband accidentally called her while he was having sex with
another woman.
‘On another line, I called his band mates and begged them to reach him
to tell him to hang up his phone, because the sounds of his sexual
encounter were too much for me to bear,’ she said.
Patton says that at first, they were co-parenting without issue. But she
says she saw a change in both her son and her ex’s behavior that caused
her to file for sole custody.
Patton’s main concerns started late last year, when her son told her that Thicke had started spanking him.
She says she first learned that her ex was using corporeal punishment on
their child in December, when her son recalled an incident on a recent
sleepover with his dad.
‘Julian told me that while at the “old house”, while spending the night
with Robin, before going to sleep, Julian had asked Robin for one more
hug.
