Desiree Townsend has accused actor and television host Mario Lopez, 51, of orchestrating a “smear campaign” against her after reposting an embarrassing video from her past, as reported by RadarOnline.com.

Lopez finally faced his accuser in court on Wednesday, August 6, as he argued to have a temporary restraining order extended. This came after Townsend surprised him at his home on Father’s Day to serve him with legal papers.

During the hearing, Townsend told RadarOnline.com that she felt threatened by Lopez’s behavior. She recounted, “He screamed, actually screamed, on the witness stand. He was so ‘pissed’ as he categorized it that the judge had to calm him down.”

“He had a full-blown outburst, yelling that I was ‘crazy,’ ‘unhinged,’ and a ‘stalker.’ And yes, he said all that while shouting,” Townsend added.

The hearing will resume later this week with Townsend taking the stand to undergo cross-examination by Lopez’s attorney. RadarOnline.com has reached out to Lopez and his attorney for comment on the matter.
