The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call at her Woodland Hills, California home on June 25.

The Blast reported James spit on The Addams Family alum during the domestic altercation.

Christina allegedly told investigators that her husband had been “verbally abusive” and that she needed a restraining order because she was “in fear of her husband.”

The outlet also reported James, who was not arrested, had been ordered to move out of their Los Angeles home.
