Sean Avery Facing Tough Legal Situation After Serious Accusations
Sean Avery has always been a polarizing character due to his on-ice antics and strong personality. For many fans, he's an entertaining figure who they can laugh at or with. It looks like Avery's luck might have turned around though, as he's being hit with some pretty serious allegations.
Avery Facing Serious Accusations
Sean Avery has been served a restraining order from a court, which prevents him from being near his Ex-Wife or three-year-old child, Nash. His Ex-Wife testified that Avery scared her both physically and emotionally, and she feared for the safety of their son around Avery.
"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 are some pretty heavy accusations, and look terrible on Avery if proven to be true.
Avery Doing Just Fine
Despite the serious allegations being brought upon Avery, he seems to be doing alright for himself.
The retired NHLer landed a small role in the new blockbuster film 'Oppenheimer', which is directed by legendary filmmaker Christopher Nolan. Funnily enough, this isn't even the first movie of Nolan's that Avery has appeared in, as he made another small appearance in 'Tenet'.
While the allegations against Avery should be taken incredibly seriously, we will wait to hear a verdict fro a court before jumping to any conclusions.
