Sean Avery was quite the character during his playing days in the NHL but has also managed to remain in the public sphere since his retirement. While he's usually making headlines for rather silly arguments, this latest bit of news is incredibly concerning.
Avery Hit With Restraining Order
Sean Avery was hit with a restraining order recently, which prevents him from being around his ex-wife and three-year-old child. This comes after Avery's wife came forward with some very serious allegations regarding Avery's at-home behavior.
"I am scared of Sean, and feel threatened by this behavior and his acts of physical violence.
Sean also yells, swears, and name-calls on a constant basis. He follows me, trying to get me to engage. He has engaged in many instances of physical abuse against me and against third parties. Sean has also been physically and emotionally abusive to our son, Nash.
Sean became irritated that our son woke up sick in the middle of the night. He screamed at me (in front of Nash) to go get Nash's 'f**king medicine,' and then aggressively punched the wall in Nash's bedroom and then punched our bedroom door. (Nash witnessed this and was scared and grabbing on to me). Sean then followed me to the kitchen, and as I was trying to get Nash's medicine, he ripped the cabinet door open -- slamming my finger between the open cabinet and the wall. I was petrified of Sean and his physical and aggressive behavior.
Sean has screamed at Nash, Sean has purposefully endangered Nash by not putting him in his car seat properly; driving erratically; putting Nash in the front seat (without a car seat); smoking marijuana and then immediately driving with him; leaving his marijuana and cigarettes on the ground for Nash to access." - Avery's Ex-Wife, Hilary Rhoda
These aren't light allegations and should be taken seriously.
Still Finding Work
Despite the allegations against Avery, the retired NHLer has still been able to find work.
Most recently, Avery appeared in the Christopher Nolan film 'Oppenheimer', in which he has a cameo with a few speaking lines. This wasn't the first Nolan movie that Avery has appeared in, as he also made an appearance in the film 'Tenet'.
Clearly, the accusations against Avery didn't deter Nolan from bringing him aboard.
We hope everyone involved remains safe.
