David Adefeso alleges Tamar Braxton hit and secretly recorded him

Adefeso if currently seeking a restraining order against Braxton, with an emphasis on a request to protect him from domestic violence. In a new Instagram live video captured by The Shade Room, Adefeso alleges Braxton attacked him while he was driving.

“I’ve been a victim of domestic violence, domestic assault – I was driving on high-speed and I was attacked on my jugular,” Adefeso claims.
