Audrina Patridge opened up about her abusive marriage to her ex-Corey Bohan
She talked about the abuse while appearing on the podcast, Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper
Audrina held back tears while discussing her volatile relationship with her ex-husband on Wednesday’s installment of the Call Her Daddy podcast.
“It’s not a secret that it was toxic,” the MTV alum told host Alex Cooper. “I mean, there was pictures of me crying on the street.”
She then explained why she initially kept the abuse hidden from her friends and family, admitting she was hoping things would change when they had their daughter.
“I tried to hide it from a lot of people because it’s embarrassing, it’s humiliating,” Audrina confessed.
“I thought if we got married and now we have this beautiful child together like things would be great.”
The TV star appeared on the podcast to promote her upcoming memoir, “Choices,” which detailed the scary moments she faced in her marriage.
At one point in the book, Audrina described an incident with her daughter’s father where he “pushed” her while she was holding the toddler.
“I froze, and I didn’t know what to do,” she recalled on the podcast.
“I knew that that moment I called the police, that’s the end of it,” she continued. “He wasn’t gonna change, and I gave him so many chances, and once I had my daughter, it’s like, I wasn’t living for me anymore.”
Alex then asked Audrina if she felt “lonely” once she got the courage to leave the relationship, prompting the 37-year-old to fight back tears.
“Yeah, gosh, I’m gonna get, like, teary-eyed – this is another, it’s like hard to go back,” she exclaimed.
The reality star filed for divorce from her ex in September 2017, just two days after she was granted a temporary restraining order against him.
SCARY INCIDENT
Shortly after, she recalled to The Blast the horrifying incident between her troubled ex that involved their daughter.
“He pushed me back with her in my arms,” she told the publication, saying he then started “punching and hitting himself on the head and punched a hole in our bedroom door.”
She also claimed that Corey became so violent that she had to cover her daughter’s “ears and eyes but she started crying and screaming.”
The situation escalated as the actor allegedly ran downstairs and grabbed a metal canister, threatening to “bash his head in.”
Audrina said she took her daughter to her parent’s house and texted Corey with the number to the suicide prevention hotline.
The TV personality claimed that Corey threatened suicide in the past and would accuse her of cheating when she was away for work.
In documents obtained by The Blast, Audrina said that Corey became “aggressive and obsessive” while she was away.
She also feared that he would “abduct” their daughter and take her to his native, Australia, where his family resides.
CUSTODY WAR
Their divorce was finalized in 2018, though the exes have been embroiled in a nasty custody war over their daughter.
In 2020, Corey requested child support payments from Audrina due to Covid-19 hardships.
He was allegedly laid off from his bartender gig “due to the stay at home orders and [has] not yet received any unemployment,” according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly.
Corey claimed that Audrina could afford child support because she “also owns real property, is able to fund a retirement account and has various investments.”
Audrina starred in The Hills from 2006 until 2010 and later reunited with the cast for the show’s reboot, The Hills: New Beginnings, which ran for two seasons.
She is now hosting a podcast with fellow castmates Brody Jenner and Frankie Delgado, recapping the original episodes of the MTV series.
