TANKED star Heather King has filed a protective order against her husband Wayde, claiming he “threw her against a wall” in a rage.

The reality star filed the order in court, alleging he had been physically abusive for years and that she feared for her life.

According to TMZ, Wayde allegedly threatened her as recently as earlier this month.

She claimed in court documents he pushed her and hit her in the attack.

Heather said the alleged assault got so bad their daughter had to step in to stop her father.

In photos obtained by TMZ, Heather showed cuts and bruises she claimed were from his alleged attacks.

The mom-of-three claimed the recent incident fit a pattern of violent behavior.

In the court documents, Heather described another incident where Wayde allegedly “threw me against a wall so hard that he almost knocked me out.”

She also alleged he broke her finger in July and strangled her in November.

The businesswoman also provided photos showing bruises and scratches on her body, which she claimed were the result of Wayde’s violence.

The judge granted Heather the protective order.

In the past, Wayde had tried to file one against her, but a judge didn’t approve the request.

Wayde and Heather began divorce proceedings in May last year after Heather was arrested for allegedly kicking her estranged husband in the stomach and slapping him in the face.

She admitted slapping Wayde, but said it was only because he would not leave her alone.

Police charged her with misdemeanor domestic violence and released her from custody the same day.

The couple married in 1997 and founded Acrylic Tank Manufacturing with Heather’s brother Brett Raymer in the same year.

Animal Planet’s Tanked followed the family’s exploits as they ran their major fish tank business.

Their company has installed major aquariums and fish tanks in many celebrities’ homes including, Tracy Morgan, Alyssa Milano, Shaquille O’Neal, Neil Patrick Harris, Betty White, David Hasselhoff, Howie Mandel, and Ludacris.

The show ran for 15 seasons before it was canceled last year.

Heather’s bio on the Animal Planet website read: “It would be great if all Heather King had to handle at ATM was the books. But working alongside her father, brother and husband in one office every day is a little more than an average day job; it’s clearly a labor of love.”

“Heather is the absolute love of Wayde’s life and handles all the accounting at ATM. Seeing Wayde in his glory doing what he is most passionate about makes the struggles of mixing business with pleasure well worth it.

“Heather knew a lot about accounting when she started, having run her father’s machinery business for a few years, but she was in the deep end when it came to fish.”
