Shanna Moakler’s Ex Accused Of Assaulting Trans Woman

Shanna Moakler’s ex-boyfriend Matthew Rondeau has been accused of attacking a transgender woman.

According to Page Six, the attack took place at Moakler’s LA residence in February whilst the former Miss USA was taking part in Celebrity Big Brother.

The alleged victim, Elissa Lorenn, claims to have visited the home with her friend Shayan in order to spend time with Rondeau. However, when the pair arrived Lorenn says that Rondeau did not appear to be in the correct frame of mind after hearing that Moakler had cheated on him.

“He had a knife and ripped through paintings,” Lorenn stated. “When I first got there he didn’t seem that f**ked up, but as the night progressed I was like, ‘Oh, this is like a lot.’”

She says that the small group eventually moved to a hot tub when Rondeau suddenly became aggressive.

“He walked up to me in the hot tub… and grabbed my face and started making out with me,” she claims. “The night continues to go on, and he’s getting more and more sexual with not even just me but even with Shayan.”

Later, Lorenn said that Rondeau followed her inside and his eyes appeared “glazed over”.

“He pushes me against the wall and slaps me across the face very hard and then puts his hands around my neck to choke me.” She added that her face was “swollen because of how hard he hit me.”

Lorenn continues, “It was a shock to my system. I couldn’t even function. I was like, ‘What the f**k is happening to me right now?”

Eventually, she says she fled from the house and woke the following day with notable injuries. Though Shayan supports most of her story, Lorenn never reported the alleged attack to the authorities.

The new claims against Rondeau come in the wake of his arrest for domestic violence against Moakler last month, for which she has been awarded an emergency protective order against him.
