SEE IT: Tom Hanks’ son appears bloodied in video amid contentious split with girlfriend
Chet Hanks accuses his ex-girlfriend of attacking him “with a knife” in a newly surfaced video.
Hanks, the son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, is seen with what appears to be blood on his face as he films the clip, which was published Wednesday by TMZ.
His ex, Kiana Parker, denies attacking him with a knife and claims in the video that Hanks “pushed” her, which he denies.
“She’s mad ‘cause I caught her stealing,” Hanks, 30, claims to the camera. “Stealing my money. Taking my credit cards and charging her rent to ‘em.”
The video also seems to show Parker swipe her hand toward Hanks at one point.
Hanks, who is an actor and musical artist, says the footage is from an incident at his house in Sugarland, Texas, on Jan. 8, according to TMZ.
He is reportedly suing Parker for assault and battery, as well as theft and return of money. He claims Parker was accompanied by three men at his home that day, including one who allegedly had a gun.
“The day after Chet Hanks confronted Kiana Parker about stealing money from his credit card, while Ms. Parker was accompanied by a huge male carrying a gun she viciously attacked Chet with a knife, which caused him to profusely bleed. It is all on video and the undisputed video tells the whole story,” a lawyer for Hanks told TMZ. “Her claims are completely false, fabricated and fictional.”
Parker alleges that Hanks was the one who held a knife during the incident, saying she was at the home with movers. She claims Hanks attacked her in the street that day.
Parker received a temporary restraining order against Hanks, according to TMZ.
Court records obtained by the Houston Chronicle showed that a girlfriend was granted a restraining order in January against Hanks by a Texas judge, but the newspaper did not identify the woman.
Those court documents reportedly show the woman accused Hanks of physical violence and verbal abuse, including a claim that he threw a bottle at her and pulled her from a hotel room in New Orleans last October.
The documents cite a January incident in which the woman accuses Hanks of placing his hand of his knife while she was at his house to pick up her items a day after breaking up with him.
A lawyer for Parker told TMZ she wants to make her restraining order permanent, and said the client is currently receiving undisclosed attention from a doctor.
Hanks’ recent acting jobs include roles on the series “Your Honor” and “Shameless,” as well as an appearance in his father’s World War II drama “Greyhound.”
