Celebrity Justice
"You Really F--ked With the Wrong Drug Addict"

TMZ has obtained chilling legal papers detailing how the children of the so-called Trainer to the Stars were allegedly threatened by his estranged wife's ex-lover.


Gunnar Peterson, who trains a slew of Hollywood A-listers, is in a nasty divorce with billionaire heiress Janet Peterson. Peterson was romantically involved with Nick Marino, but ended it four months ago. Two days ago, Marino was stabbed by a security guard after allegedly breaking into Janet Peterson's home.

In an application for a restraining order, filed by Janet Peterson just hours before the stabbing, she claims Marino "is seriously abusing drugs and alcohol again and that his behavior represents an imminent danger to me and my family." Peterson claims "he has stalked me at my residence, has broken into my office, and has sent me a stream of abusive text and cell phone messages," threatening to "come over to my house and 'take my children.'"



In a voice message Peterson received Wednesday, Marino allegedly said she "was lucky that I didn't break into your house last night and take the children."

Peterson claims Marino "has been significantly abusing alcohol and drugs, specifically smoking rock cocaine." She says he left her a telephone message last Tuesday threatening, "Boy, you really f--ked with the wrong drug addict..."

According to legal papers, Marino had allegedly broken into her office, leaving beer bottles behind and stealing her driver's license.

In the documents, Janet says Marino once told her "I think Gunnar's crazy." Gunnar, by the way, did not request a restraining order to keep Marino away from his children.

Marino was placed under arrest for alleged stalking, burglary and making criminal threats.

3. I do not understand how this story has anything to do with white or black. This is a media website reporting every movement of every celebrity, and they do a great job at that.

6. The way this is written makes it seem that Gunnar was the one dating this guy.
"Gunnar Peterson, who trains a slew of Hollywood A-listers, is in a nasty divorce ......... Peterson was romantically involved with Nick Marino,"

11. She is a worthless parent to have brought such an asshole into her kids lives. She just needs to give Gunnar the kids, run off with all the losers she is going to date now that she is single, and ruin her own life and let the kids grow up and see what a worthless person their mom is.

12. How does a not very good looking 23 y/o drug addict get with a milf billionaire heiress in the first place? I'm asking because I want a milf billionaire heiress.

14. I reaed all the legal papers, and to tell you the truth it doesnt seem he was after her life or the childrens life. Something tells me that she is not innocent of all this, he is actually interested in "helping" the children of her" I bet she got high with him as well!

15. To writers #1 and 2, tweedle dee and tweedle dummer. Dont you guys ever get sick of being the victim! When did this story ever become about black or white people. Be proud of your color and stop bitching about it! How you treat others is the way they will treat you. If you walk out the door with a bad attitude then that is exactly what your going to get back. This ain't the 1900's anymore
