No mention of jerking off while strangling a kitten but still very disturbing allegations.
That’s a weird sentence I hope to never write again…

hi there, here’s a tl;dr for this story:
A chef of popular Los Angeles restaurant Horses accused her husband and business partner of killing the family’s cats in a divorce filing in which she also asked for a domestic violence restraining order.
Elizabeth Johnson filed the request for the order in November 2022, alleging Will Aghajanian physically assaulted her on numerous occasions and killed the family’s cats. Aghajanian strongly denied her claims in his own court filings, calling them “false allegations.”
Johnson said that “Will and I have had cats that mysteriously ended up dying, including one in 2017 who I took to a shelter when she became seriously wounded overnight. The shelter told me she had been seriously abused, but Will denied it,” Johnson wrote.
She claims that Aghajanian joked about feeding their kitten to coyotes and said he didn’t like the cat, according to the filing. Eventually, she alleges she witnessed him hurting their cat.
Will Aghajanian did not respond to a request for comment. The restaurant also did not respond to requests.
A judge in the case approved the domestic violence restraining order in December and reissued it on May 1, according to court documents.
In his own filing for a restraining order, Aghajanian requested custody back of their dogs Pancho and Javi, saying that Johnson “misled the Court into making orders against me.”
“I am fearful of [Johnson] since I am the victim of [her] long-term abuse that has occurred throughout our relationship,” he wrote.
This is going to be used to make “The Menu Part II”

Shit. I was about to go for the first time in early June for my wife’s birthday. Guess I won’t be going. Any other suggestions for a mid-week birthday dinner?
