Fassbender in Harvey Weinstein’s shoes

The #MeToo campaign is up and many women are coming out. One of them is ex-model, Sunawin Andrews. The incident happened almost a decade ago and the domestic abuse claims by Andrews against Michael Fassbender. Andrews. 44, asked for a protective order from the court against the actor in March 2010 and alleged two instances when Fassbender caused some severe injuries on her according to Daily Mail which obtained some Los Angeles court papers linked to the case. The model claimed that the “Kung Fury”, “X-Men: Dark Phoenix”, “300”, “Assassin’s Creed”, “12 Years a Slave”, Inglourious Basterds”, and “Prometheus” actor threw her over a chair that she broke her nose in 2009 just because she woke him up. Fassbender was drunk at the time. The same year, according to the documents, the enraged Fassbender allegedly dragged Andrews with his car because her former boyfriend said hey to her while they were having dinner. The incident left her with vaginal bleeding, blown out kneecap, a twisted ankle, and a ruptured ovarian cyst. She had to pay up to $24,000 in medical bills. Despite the allegations, Fassbender looks unshaken and his reputation is still unscathed. Fassbender even went ahead to marry Alicia in a secret wedding in October probably to show the world that he had swept it all under the carpet. Daily Mail tried to reach Fassbender, but he was not available. The former model filed the petition in at the L.A. Superior Court in March 2010, but the last incident of the alleged abuse happened on November 18, 2009. It’s hard to understand why she filed the protective orders some months after the last incident but she explained that she was seeking the orders when the Fassbender was shooting films outside the US. The model also stated that she was living alone with her two children who were 18 and three back then and added that she feared for her safety and requested the court to order Fassbender to stay at least 100 yards away from her family. Narrating the incident that happened when she was having dinner with Fassbender, Andrews said that the movie actor became enraged because Andrew’s ex-approached the table and said hello. Fassbender started drinking and became angrier. Her friends became so concerned about her that they followed Fassbender’s car until they reached their home. She added that Fassbender was driving so fast and screaming at her and she asked him to stop the car because she feared for her children who were asleep and also an accident. When they reached home, Fassbender dragged her with the car. It wasn’t sexual assault like what happened to Weinstein’s victims, but regardless, women shouldn’t undergo any form of abuse. They don’t deserve it.
