These legal steps come on the heels of a series of alleged unfortunate incidents involving physical abuse that Melanie says she suffered for years. One of the most startling stories she shared involved an incident where she was allegedly attacked while in bed. “Natutulog ako, Tito Boy, magkatabi kami. ‘Tapos, akala ko napanaginipan kong may sumuntok sa akin. But then, naalinpungatan ako. Parang nakita ko siyang nakatingin sa akin tapos sinuntok n’ya ako,” she recalled. According to her, Randy allegedly claimed he was only dreaming, but a subsequent medical check-up reportedly confirmed her eardrum had been damaged.
The allegations do not stop there. Melanie further claimed that even before that incident, she had been allegedly threatened at gunpoint during a dispute regarding their business. She alleged that her husband was compelling her to solve his company’s problems under duress. Most recently, she recounted an alleged argument in October 2025 where she reportedly sustained a fracture to her third rib. Despite her husband's reported anger over being served a protective order, Melanie remains steadfast. “I don’t want him to come back here,” she said, expressing her firm stance on his blacklisting.
