Comedian Beth Stelling’s Ex-Boyfriend Responds To Domestic Violence Claims In Facebook Post

WARNING - contains information that some readers may find upsetting. Last week, comedian Beth Stelling took to Instagram to speak out about the domestic violence she had experienced during her last relationship. Beth's post received a huge reaction and it can be read in full here. Her ex-boyfriend, Cale Hartmann had deactivated his social media accounts for some time but on December 30th, he shared the below post on Facebook. Cale has denied Beth's claims and says he was incredibly hurt "to see my ex-girlfriend had made public accusations across all of her social media platforms that tell a story so far beyond the truth". Courtney Paruso also used to go out with Cale and she has since backed up Beth's claims, saying “I want to back up Beth, who did a really scary thing, and I also want to tell my story".

This one might be hard to listen to, but you should try, because it's the truth. I've got your back @BethStelling https://t.co/2t61J2Iri6
