Hafþór has denied all accusations of having attacked his former fiancé or engaged in any violent behaviour, but has admitted the couple engaged in a loud arguments. The subject of the arguments between the two is the dog Asterix, a small Pomeranian which the couple shares custody over. Hafþór has accused his former fiancé of trying to deny him the right to spend time with the dog.
A history of violence
Fréttablaðið has talked to several women who have been romantically involved with Hafþór, three of whom say Hafþór could be both physically and emotionally violent. One of the women alleges that Hafþór turned violent during disagreements, beating her on more than one occasion.
On several occasions she says Hafþór grabbed her in a choke-hold, holding her until she passed out. On one occasion she had went to a hospital, where an official report was written up documenting her injuries.
A second woman says that Hafþór had threatened her with physical violence after they broke up, and that police responded to a call following an argument after the breakup.
Hafþór says charges are slander
Hafþór has denied all these accusations, describing them as slander, but otherwise pointing to his lawyer. Hafþór's lawyer stresses that his client is not a violent man, speculating that the accusations from the three women are motivated by animosity against Hafþór.
