90 Day Fiance celeb Karine Staehle claims she’s innocent after a domestic violence video surfaced in which she is seen assaulting her husband. And, along with maintaining her innocence, she wants a divorce from her husband.

90 Day Fiance: Karine Staehle & Paul Staehle in the Hot Seat

90 Day Fiance husband and wife Paul Staehle and Karine Staehle are in the hot seat after a short clip made the rounds of Karine seemingly manhandling her husband in their home – in front of their young son. This short clip sparked heated debate among TLC fans – dividing the community.

Meanwhile, with some 90 Day Fiance fans taking Paul’s side – and others defending Karine – the one thing viewers can agree on is that this is unacceptable behavior in front of young children. In addition, many viewers pointed out that little Pierre doesn’t even flinch as his mom and dad get into it – suggesting that this type of behavior is common in the Staehle household.

In addition, the timeline of events is interesting to note as well – and may provide further clues as to what led to the big blowout between the 90 Day Fiance pair. For example, Karine shared a now-deleted social media post, revealing that she asked her husband for a divorce. Interestingly, the domestic violence video surfaced not long after that. So, it’s certainly possible that Paul leaked the video in response to Karine’s divorce request.

Certainly, there’s no excuse for physical violence – no matter who the aggressor is. But, in terms of the timeline, it’s curious that the video would make the rounds shortly after Karine Staehle asked for a divorce from her husband. Meanwhile, according to Karine, there’s more to the story than what the clip shows.

Karine Claims She’s Innocent – More Manipulating from Paul?

The clip in question certainly paints Karine Staehle in a bad light. You can see she gets in Paul’s face. And, she appears to choke her husband in a fit of rage. However, according to Karine, that’s not how things went down. Addressing the clip in question, Karine said that the video is “clipped” – alleging that there’s “a lot in there” that 90 Day Fiance fans don’t see.

In addition, Karine Staehle told her 90 Day Fiance followers that she “didn’t touch” Paul’s neck. According to her, Paul put her hands to his neck. So, it seems Karine is standing her ground, maintaining that she “did not choke” her husband. She went on to say she was “prevented” from talking publicly about the video. And, that she loves her children – adding that they are “suffering”.

90 Day Fiance Wife Wants Out?

With both Karine and Paul in hot water since the video surfaced, it looks like Karine finally wants out of her marriage. As 90 Day Fiance watchers know, split rumors have surrounded this couple for years. But, with the fallout from the recent abuse video, this may be the final straw for this troubled pair.

Many 90 Day Fiance fans have called for action to be taken – and for the children of Paul and Karine to be removed from their home. Interestingly, Paul shared pictures of both his sons with his parents. Paul Staehle’s dad rarely makes public appearances of any kind. So, the fact that Paul shared pictures of his parents with their grandkids suggests that things must really be dire.

Meanwhile, even though the violent clip in question shows Karine Staehle as the aggressor, many 90 Day Fiance fans are divided. Some think that Paul set Karine up – perhaps provoking her into acting violently toward him so he could capture it on camera.

And, given what Karine recently revealed about how things went down, there may be some merit to Paul Staehle orchestrating the whole thing to paint Karine in a bad light – especially if he put her hands to his throat as she claims. On the other hand, however, Karine claiming that she didn’t choke her husband and that he put her hands to his neck could be a way for her to do damage control in the aftermath.

Still, no matter who did what to whom, the majority of 90 Day Fiance watchers agree that Paul and Karine bring out the worst in each other. And, for the sake of their children, it’ll be interesting to see if they finally go through with calling it quits this time around.
