(WILDMINGTON, De.) — To say that the breakup between Kurt Busch and his ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll is ugly would be an insult to ugly breakups.
In their closing arguments, Busch’s attorney Rusty Hardin accused Driscoll of fabricating stories to ruin the reputation of the NASCAR driver.
“We respectfully request that the Court not reward her perjury and scorched-earth approach of destruction by granting her a protective order,” his attorney Rusty Hardin wrote in his closing arguments. “There is only one person in this duo that needs protection, and it is not Patricia Driscoll — it is Kurt Busch.”
Driscoll, who owns her own defense company and runs the Armed Forces Foundation, accused Busch of slamming her head into the wall of their trailer after a qualifying run in Dover last September.
Busch recently claimed in court that Driscoll was a trained assassin who worked as a mercenary, killing people in foreign countries.
In an emailed statement to the media, Driscoll responded calling the allegations ludicrous and an attempt to ruin her credibility.
“If I was this assassin Kurt has claimed me to be, and he feared me the way he claims, then why did he per his testimony physically come across me multiple times and put his hands on me while naked,” Driscoll said in an e-mailed statement. “If I was the ‘badass’ he claims me to be why didn’t I beat him up after he strangled me and slammed my head into the wall multiple times?”
Kent County (Del.) Family Court Commissioner David Jones is expected to make a ruling on the matter in a few days.
