As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis has spoken out after videos showing a tense altercation with his wife have circulated online.The two clips surfaced on social media earlier this week and appear to show Lambesis and his wife Dany arguing.In one video, Lambesis can be seen flipping a table Dany was sitting at.

Then, as she gets up to walk away, he attempts to intercept her and repeatedly punches himself while she asks him to stop.Another video seems to show the couple in a bedroom having an argument – though there’s no audio included.

Lambesis appears to be shouting and repeatedly getting in Dany’s face and grabbing her. He then begins punching himself before noticing the camera, picking it up and turning it off.Now, Lambesis has responded, accusing Dany of domestic violence and alleging that she timed “these public attacks” after he served her with divorce papers earlier this week.In a statement shared to Instagram, the singer wrote: “There is currently a restraining order and a domestic violence investigation being filed against Dany Norris (formerly Lambesis).

Anything she is saying now is to distract people away from that to instead focus on my own inappropriate (but not illegal) reactions to these anxiety inducing interactions.“This woman assaulted me and verbally/mentally abused me over 3 years,” he alleges. “I took the much needed and overdue step to leave her yesterday by delivering divorce papers.
