Playboy playmate Dalene Kurtis is suing her ex-boyfriend for $10 million (£6.25 million) over accusations he physically abused her and threatened to kill her family.
Kurtis, who was crowned Playmate of the Year in 2002, claims James Daren Metropoulos hit her with a baseball bat and repeatedly choked, punched and kicked her during their relationship, according to TMZ.com.
The website also alleges Metropoulos, the heir to the Bumblebee Tuna food brand, frequently insulted the model, calling her a "f**king whore", "ungrateful b**ch" and "ugly old Playmate".
The lawsuit comes just weeks after Kurtis won a temporary restraining order against her ex in September.
