‘Scandal’ star Columbus Short spoke out on social media regarding his second recent domestic violence arrest on February 3rd, in Los Angeles.

According to reports, Los Angeles police officers responded to a 1 a.m. call regarding a verbal dispute that resulted in a physical altercation. The altercation involved Short and his wife Aida Abramyan. 

Short, who has faced domestic violence charges in 2018, addressed the situation on twitter, sharing a link to an Instagram post that has since been deleted.

“Marriages are challenging but getting through it is the blessing! I AM not [an] abusive man nor am I on drugs but drinking alcohol makes my words unholy sometimes,” he wrote along with a video. “My wife and I are working on our marriage. The real work w/ @callmemrsshort #MyApologies.”

In Short’s deleted instagram post, he explained how the incident took place. 

“I asked my wife to leave the home due to my frustration and I grabbed her phone, which I shouldn’t have [done] and I scratched her hand,” Short claimed. “Post-OJ, the police came here, detectives were here, it was a whole just ridiculous thing.”

A Los Angeles department rep confirmed that he was released on a $50,000 bond and his court date is set for June 6.
