The former fiancée of Steven Avery once again spoke out against the subject of the popular Netflix series "Making a Murderer." Jodi Stachowski accused Avery of once tying her to a bed, much like he reportedly did to Teresa Halbach before he killed her.
Stachowski told TMZ that she believed Avery's nephew Brendan Dassey's horrific retelling of Halbach's rape and murder because he once tied her to a bedpost with rope and tried to videotape everything. She said that Avery wanted to have sex with her while restrained, but she refused to cooperate with him so he backed down. Stachowski even said that Avery had a history of using fear as a weapon and had sent her a letter as recently as August where he demanded money and threatened to tell police that she had been drinking and driving without a license, according to Hollywood Life.
This is not the first time Avery's ex has spoken out against him and said that she did not believe he was innocent of the murder of Halbach. Last week, Stachowski sat down with a producer from the HLN show "Nancy Grace" for an interview in which she said that he was "a monster," as HNGN previously reported.
"He'd beat me all the time, punch me, throw me against the wall," Stachowski said. "I tried to leave, he smashed the windshield out of my car, so I couldn't leave him."
Stachowski and Avery were engaged when he was arrested for the rape and murder of Halbach, and she broke up with him shortly before he was convicted in 2007. She defended him throughout the Netflix documentary series but said that he forced her to lie to the directors and producers of the show.
Avery is currently serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder and rape of Halbach.
