Chris Noth‘s alleged misdeeds continue to shock us.

As we reported, model Beverly Johnson‘s decades-old abuse allegations against the And Just Like That… star resurfaced amid his recent #MeToo scandal. Now, more details have come to light about the alleged interactions between Noth and Johnson, who dated from 1990 to 1995 — and it’s not pretty.

According to Page Six, the model filed to get a restraining order against Noth, claiming he “punched [her] in the chest and ribs” and allegedly made repeated threats to “kill” her. Court docs obtained by the outlet reveal Beverly filed for a temporary restraining order in Los Angeles Superior Court on August 1, 1995, requesting the disgraced actor stay 500 yards away from her, her daughter, and their dog.

She alleged in the docs:

“Chris Noth punched me in the chest and ribs, injuring my ribs, making it difficult to breathe, punching and bruising my face and body in which I had to have medical attention. On July 27, 1995, he made repeated threats on my life making up to 25 calls per day threatening to kill me [and] destroy my face. Threatened to kill dog.”

Whoa.

The now-69-year-old requested the judge order Noth to “make no calls to others with threats against me. Restraining from slandering my character + good name.”

The judge sided with Beverly, approving the temporary restraining order. On October 3, 1995, the order was made permanent with a mutual restraining order. The judge wrote:

“Neither party shall make any derogatory statements about the other of any nature or description to another person or entity not encourage or participate in any party making any such derogatory comments about the other to any third person or entity.”

Noth and Johnson agreed not to “contact, molest, attack, strike, threaten, sexually assault, batter, telephone or disturb the peace of the other.” They also both agreed to stay at least 500 yards from each other and any family members from the residence of the other party or place of employment, and promised neither of them would make any derogatory statements about the other.

While there wasn’t an expiration date for the permanent restraining order in the docs, even though an order like this California usually lasts three to five years, the court docket states the case was closed on May 26, 2017.

A 1995 newspaper clipping of the National Enquirer article resurfaced Friday on the Instagram account Diet Prada. The publication claimed that Johnson told a friend:

“I’ve never been so frightened in my life. I just can’t believe that someone who had once been so tender and sweet could turn into this raging wild man.”

The Law & Order star didn’t respond to the report at the time, but he’s “categorically” denied the new sexual assault allegations that were made against him by multiple women, saying in a statement last week:

“The accusations against me made by individuals I met years, even decades, ago are categorically false. These stories could’ve been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago — no always means no — that is a line I did not cross. It’s difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don’t know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women.”

May healing come through.
