Xenia Seeberg Spousal Abuse?

A couple of posts ago Wondertrash reported on the separation of Lexx actress Xenia Seeberg from her husband Sven Martinek. Thought he couple had gone the separate ways both were still professing love for each other, and Martinek was still insisting that he was not single. They were even photographed together as recently as early this month, often attending movie premiers together. This lead some to question how serious the separation was, even though Seeberg had given some interviews stating categorically that it was over.



Well it appears that the marriage is indeed over and that the problems ran deeper than anyone suspected. Both Seeberg and Martinek attended the recent Inglourious Basterds premier in Germany. This time however Martinek appeared with a new date. Whats more his appearance has triggered talk that his relationship with his estranged wife has reached the point of physical abuse.



Now I'd better clarify this. According to the Berlin Morning Post Sven showed up to the premier not only escorting a new friend but wearing an eyepatch. You might think that this was a fashion statement, or even a gesture of tribute to Tarantino. Some of the characters in his movies wear eye patches. This was not the case. When asked aboutt he patch, Martinek admitted that he had a black eye. He claimed that it was from an accident. However some in the know are claiming that in fact he got the shiner as a going away present from Seeberg. It seems that the lady hauled off and nailed him in the side of the face. Now if you doubt that Seeberg could do that kind of damage you should know that she is trained in Tai Kwon Do. So it looks like he's got something to remember he by!
