A new cast member of Bravo’s “Married to Medicine,” Jill Connors, was arrested after an Aug. 13 incident in which she assaulted her husband and began cutting herself to frame him — all in front of their children, according to a police report.
The document filed by authorities states that the trouble began at the couple’s home after the reality TV star’s husband, Dr. John Connors, read his wife’s text messages and concluded that she was cheating on him. The two began to argue, and Dr. Connors threatened to leave her and take their children with him, TMZ reported.
Dr. Connors claimed a livid Mrs. Connors threw a spoon at his face and began scratching him on his chest, arms and neck and punching him in the face. While he called the police, his wife reportedly grabbed a kitchen knife and started cutting her arm and chest while screaming, “He’s cutting me!”
When police arrived, Connors told them, “I hit him. I started it, I know.” She also said her husband had cut her, but when authorities asked for an explanation of what transpired, she said, “It all happened so fast, and I don`t know how it happened. I do not know where the knife is,” Fox News reported.
Connors was booked into Alpharetta jail on Aug. 14 for cruelty to children, since the entire ordeal reportedly happened in front of the couple’s two kids. She was released the next day and filed for divorce on Aug. 19, according to TMZ.
Dr. Connors suffered minor injuries from the attack, including visible scratches and a swollen lip.
