#5 Domestic violence

Two years after marrying WWE Diva Debra Marshall, Austin engaged himself in domestic violence as on June 15, 2002, police were called to their residence in San Antonio, Texas where they found a hysterical Marshall with bruises. Austin had left the house and was asked by the police not to return.

On August 14, 2002, Austin was arrested and charged with domestic abuse. He pled no contest on November 25, 2002 and was given a year's probation, a $1,000 fine, and ordered to carry out eighty hours of community service. Marshall would later claim that Austin was a steroid user and this incident was the result of roid rage.

Austin filed for divorce from Marshall on July 22, 2002 and the divorce was finalized on February 5, 2003. On June 29, 2007, Marshall told Fox News that Austin beat her three times. She also stated that WWE put a gag order on her so she would not reveal that Stone Cold hit her, as it would cost the company millions of dollars. The WWE did not respond to her allegations.
