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.'"

TMZ has learned that the man who allegedly stalked the estranged wife of the trainer to the stars was stabbed with a pocket knife after a brutal fight. Here's how it all went down...
Gunnar Peterson, who has trained numerous stars, including Nick Lachey, Matt McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez, is in the middle of a bitter divorce and custody fight with Janet Peterson, an heiress to a $4 billion fortune. After the couple split, the 43-year-old Janet began seeing 23-year-old Nick Marino, but broke off the relationship around four months ago. It was then that Marino allegedly began stalking Janet. We're told Marino left numerous phone messages for Janet threatening her life and promising to "take her children."
Enter Scott Ross, P.I. to the stars who works exclusively with mega-lawyer Mark Geragos. Sources say Janet called Ross late last week and told her she was in fear for her life and that Marino was an imminent threat. Ross then referred Janet to a company called The Solution Group, which conducts threat assessments, investigations and provides VIP security.
