'During our relationship, Kasia often threatened to destroy me. She threatened to ruin my career and even try to make me lose my children.

'Kasia said she would do so by accusing me of beating her. She knew that my children's mother accused me of the same thing and that we have a lawsuit over it.

'Kasia contacted my children's mother and said she would help her in court. Everything just to destroy me.'
