The Couture's take action against Affliction -- Huh?

The soap opera continues between Randy Couture, Kim Couture and Affliction. Here's the latest from TMZ,

Randy and wife Kim claim Affliction Prez Todd Beard has been on a campaign of terror against them since they asked for an accounting of profits. A Las Vegas judge just issued a temporary restraining order, prohibiting Beard from going near Kim, and that includes going near the MGM Grand when Randy fights this Saturday. And Beard can’t go to the hotel during the weigh-in the day before either.

According to Kim Couture’s declaration, Beard has made "a series of threats and acts intended to intimidate me and otherwise coerce me to ‘back off.’"

She goes on: "My fear of Mr. Beard is well-founded given his extensive criminal history. Not only has he been convicted of numerous state and federal felonies relating to fraud …he has engaged in numerous acts of violence, including violence against women."

O....k....this is strange turn in the Couture saga. Affliction and Couture had a great relationship with Randy being the center of a brand called Xtreme Couture. The clothing company turned fight promotion also tried to orchestrate a fight between Randy Couture and Fedor Emelianenko. However the UFC stood in the way and a legal battle ensued. Unfortunately for Affliction the UFC and Couture reconciled their differences and now Couture is fighting Brock Lesnar. Yet Affliction is not going quietly into the night, but restraining orders are not exactly a good way to rectify a complex business problem.
