Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder, Matt Kemp, has been accused of abusing his ex-girlfriend in a 2008 restraining order, reports Star Magazine.

According to the gossip mag, Felisha Terrell filed for a restraining order against the pro baseball player in June 2008, shortly after the couple broke up. Kemp denied the story, claiming Terrell had made false statements about the ballplayer and later apologized to him for doing so.

However, Terrell's attorney denied his client lied about the abuse allegations, further that there was a "real threat" calling for the filing of the restraining order.

"The temporary restraining order was granted because of an actual and real threat," David D. Diamond told Star. "The matter was quietly resolved until Mr. Kemp's agent began making false public statements.

"[My] hope is that Ms. Terrell tells her story, because it is a compelling tale of betrayal, abuse and survival," he added.

Star originally broke the news in a recent issue, prompting a statement from Kemp's manager, Lonnie Murphy, who called his ex a liar.

"Matt Kemp dated Felisha Terrell about two years ago for a short period when they moved in with each other," Murphy said. "Approximately one month later he decided to end their relationship. She chose to file a complaint and shortly thereafter, on her own accord, decided to drop it based on the fact that the statements made within were false. She has very recently written in text messages to Matt apologizing and that she has no issue whatsoever with Matt and found it humorous the possibility of this becoming a story... Matt Kemp is a consummate Midwestern gentleman who has never displayed any act of violence towards a woman."

Kemp has been making headlines as of late, after being photographed with pop star Rihanna on vacation in Mexico, at basketball games, and several other locations.
