The custody dispute between Robin Thicke and Paula Patton over their young son has taken another turn. Each parent has accused the other of mistreating the child in the past, and each side has disputed the other’s claims.
According to audio obtained by TMZ, a caller who identified herself as the child’s nanny phoned 911 last month and asked police to step in. She told the dispatcher there was a court order and a restraining order in place and said the singer was within the distance the order required him to keep.
His side tells a different story. Sources close to the singer told People that Patton arrived an hour late and did not let the child leave with the court appointed monitor. The sources confirmed the nanny did call police but said Patton had left before officers arrived.
“He was not in violation of the restraining order,” a source close to Thicke told People, adding that he stayed in his designated spot and followed the same agreed protocol as every other week. Sources also say Thicke believes Patton has been trying to turn the child against him. Patton has not been reported to have commented on that claim.
For context, a judge reportedly granted Patton a temporary restraining order against Thicke in January, along with sole custody, with Thicke limited to supervised visits.
Both parents are fighting through the courts, and the details here come from audio and unnamed sources. This is a developing family matter, and we will keep it fair for everyone involved.
