Earl Watson filed for divorce, then rescinded his decision, after he chose to work out his marital differences with actress-wife
Jennifer Freeman, whom he accused of savagely attacking him late one night.
TMZ reports that according to court documents, the couple's troubles began on August 1st, when Freeman received a text message at 11:00 p.m.
Watson became suspicious and decided to check his wife's cell phone. Freeman then became so angry with the invasion of privacy that she struck Watson in the face twice with an open hand.
Watson then went on to testify that Freeman, who played "Claire" on the now defunct sitcom "My Wife and Kids," managed to bite in to his wrist like a rabid dog and would not let go until she drew blood. Once she allegedly let go of his bleeding wrist, she chomped on to his chest, and again, bit until blood spewed.
Watson also claims that the Mother of his 10-month-old child was not quite done with him. According to Watson, his wife picked up an iron and tried to strike him with it, but somehow, he managed to knock it out of her hands.
The apparently discombobulated baller filed for divorce soon after the horrific events occurred.
There is a twist in this story, though. According to TMZ, Watson has had a change of heart: Watson's lawyer, William Briggs, told the celeb gossip website that his client plans on withdrawing the divorce petition and that he and Freeman have actually reconciled. "The couple has reconciled their differences and plans to make their marriage work," Briggs stated.
Watson better not cross her again.

Rumor has it she found out he got another owman pregnant & they just had a baby together and haven't even been married 2 years. The husband should tell the whole story not part of it to make her look bad.

Does that excuse his WIFE'S DOMESTIC VIOLENCE against him? Oh yeah, noticed the words DV never showed up in this article, I guess because the abuser is female and the victim is MALE. Do you think this situation would have been reported differently had he attacked her? And wouldn't he had been arrested? Two separate legal systems and two separate news reporting formats, each allowing gender to control its policies.

(Wow, he's a funny looking man) If the story is true thathe impregnanted another woman, that is the reason he changed his mind about the divorce. She could suck him dry monetarily, if those allegations are true

Make her look bad?
This chick shouldn't be putting her hands on any one.
Now if he would've knocked her teeth out (which he should have done but legally can't!!!! - & Yes, I am a black woman!) you would be cursing him out like a dog.

What if he found out he was not the father of your child in which he is suppose to be the father. You know the husband with a proven cheating wife. Would you run from him? And would he be justified in beating your axxx? Don't do to anyone that which you don't want done to you.
