AN ARGUMENT between UFC Octagon girl Brittney Palmer and husband Aaron Zalewski reportedly turned violent in an incident in which Zalewski is accused of attacking Palmer in their Los Angeles home on June 11

TMZ Sports reports Zalewski, 34, was arrested on charges of “attempted murder, spousal battery, and criminal threats” around 1:25 a.m. on June 12.

The report obtained by the website states that things got violent when Zalewki allegedly overheard a casting director call Palmer “babe” during a phone call.

The couple reportedly began wrestling for her phone when it is alleged that Zalewki threw Palmer after noticing she was recording the conversation.

Palmer told police Zalewski told her to “Pack your f**king bags and go!” but would not allow her to leave.

The alleged tussle between the couple reportedly continued, with Zalewski allegedly pinning Palmer face down on a mattress with his knee in her back.

The report claims that when Palmer finally got free, she called the police, who arrested Zalewski upon arrival.

Zalewski was released on $1 million bail the next day.

He is expected to appear before the judge later today in Los Angeles Municipal Court.
