After it was revealed earlier this month that police have been called to the home of former MLB pitcher Carl Pavano and his ex-wife nine times over the past two years, more sordid allegations against Pavano have surfaced.
Pavano was initially accused of “controlling behavior,” including name-calling, cutting her expenses and threatening to take their children in the middle of a nasty fight.
Their divorce was finalized last December, but a new lawsuit from Pavano’s ex, Alissa, alleges that Pavano would urinate in her shampoo bottles and “intentionally soiled the bed plaintiff sleeps in during her parenting time by allowing his female sex partners to occupy the bed,” according to CT Insider.

Pavano then allegedly “removed all clean bedding from the house so that Plaintiff is unable to have a hygienically clean and safe bed during her parenting time.”
The ex also allegedly sent photos of “several firearms placed on the kitchen table” to Alissa and their children in a group chat shortly after divorce papers were served.
The couple currently share custody of their three children, alternating weeks with them at a home in Fairfield, Connecticut. Pavano owns the home through a trust.
Alissa accused the former pitcher of forcing her to sign the pre-up, which she says is one-sided.

“A prenuptial agreement is an acceptable way for individuals, before marriage, to stipulate how their financial interests and responsibilities will be determined after marriage,” Alissa’s lawyers said in a brief. New York Post.
“It should not be an acceptable way for a spouse who has already started a family with her significant other to force her to give up her financial independence and then extract financial benefits from the prenuptial agreement under the threat of taking the minor children from her and leaving her destitute.”

Pavano pitched for the Montreal Expos, Florida Marlins, New York YankeesCleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins, who was named an All-Star in 2004. He pitched to a 4.81 ERA in his career, with his biggest payday coming with the Yankees. However, he made just 26 starts in his four seasons with them and is widely regarded as one of their worst signings.
