Richard Spencer's wife detailed multiple allegations of abuse, including when she was pregnant, in a lengthy divorce filing.
Nina Kroupianova and Spencer, the white nationalist who takes credit for the term "alt-right," were married in August 2010. Five months later, she claims he dragged her by her "legs, arms and hair" down a staircase and threw her onto a couch, according to the divorce filings acquired by the New York Daily News and first reported by Buzzfeed.
In July 2014, Kroupianova claims, he "got on top of me, held me down with his bodyweight, and held me by my neck and lower jaw" while she was four months' pregnant with their daughter.
"He often went into 'Mr. Hyde' mode in the evenings and had issues with physical intimacy, including hugs," she wrote in the documents.
During her second pregnancy in late 2017, Kroupianova claims Spencer tried to punch her in the face while visiting their daughter. In the documents, which were initially filed in Flathead County District Court in Montana in June, Kroupianova said she and Spencer have been living apart since July 1, 2017.
The Russian-born Kroupianova also accused Spencer of calling their children's babysitter a "f---ing sub-mediocre human being" and a "f---ing moron."
"The only language women understand is violence," she claims Spencer frequently said.
Attempts to reach Spencer or his attorneys Tuesday were unsuccessful.
Kroupianova also alleged verbal and emotional abuse, including repeatedly waking her up in the middle of the night or keeping her from falling asleep at all.
"What happened in your childhood to make you so f---ed up," she claims he asked. "I recommend that you murder yourself because you have nothing to give the world."
Within the documents, she also claimed that his "alcohol consumption has noticeably increased," which made him "more aggressive," and said she believes he "may also be abusing drugs," citing erratic behavior and weight loss.
Kroupianova also included a signed letter in October 2017 from a doctor at the Alpine Women's Center who cited the then-pregnant woman's "concern for her safety and wellbeing."
In his response, Spencer argued that "none of the allegations of 'abuse' have anything to do with my children" and included photos of him playing with his son and daughter.
