There were even incidents where Austin called her a N***** Lover when she tried to watch BET (Black Entertainment Television).
"I thought that was a bit odd myself," she remembered, "I wasn't allowed to watch BET because he called me an 'N***** Lover'.
He didn't want me to watch anything that had to do with HBO, Cinemax, or Showtime".
Tess also said that part of the reason she was forbidden to watch those channels were due to her prior career appearing in late night Cinemax / Showtime movies.
(Note: Broussard had appeared in adult / romantic movies but have all been rated by the industries as 'R' only.)
Being an animal lover, she notes other incidents where he would literally tried to hurt her pets in order to hurt her.
She notes an incident where Austin (while she was out of town) locked her cats in a closet, then left to travel.
A neighbor who was watching the house at the time discovered the pets a few days later malnourished, sick, and covered with feces.
Luckily they are now well.
