Arrest Warrant Issued For Columbus Short Over Mangled Web Of Multiple Wives
There are select entertainers who possess a certain level of artistic genius, that supersedes many of their celebrity peers. Not all entertainers have it, but when it comes to actor, Columbus Short, he’s one of them – though largely underrated. Sure, he was just ‘okay’ in “Scandal,” but when I saw how he portrayed “Little Walter” in Cadillac Records, I was impressed.
Problem is- dude can’t stay outta trouble to save his life! Maybe that’s why he’s still in the underrated category and not the A-List actor column. Nonetheless, when it comes to women, he just can’t seem to get it right. So now he has a far larger prob’ on his hands- one that seemingly involves multiple wives and an arrest warrant.
The Trouble Short Is In Now
It’s just been reported that Columbus is out here possibly illegally juggling multiple wives. However, it’s his second wife/actress, Tanee McCall (picture above), that he may end up in the pen’ for:
Via TMZ- Columbus Short could soon be sporting a pair of handcuffs — there’s a warrant out for the actor’s arrest — TMZ has learned. The ex-“Scandal” star failed to appear in court as part of his divorce proceedings with Tanee Short Tuesday … so the judge issued a warrant as it’s the second time Columbus has no-showed in as many months.
The point of the hearing was for a judgment debtor exam where the actor was to be grilled about his finances.
Even though the hearing was about how much money Columbus will have to pop off to his estranged wife, it may not be what he’s running from. Bigamy- marrying one person, while still legally married to another- is a crime in the United States. Nigeria? Maybe not so much. But America? Most definitely having two active marriage licenses at the same damn time will get you some legal problems.
Word on the Old School curb, is that not only is Columbus technically still married to his estranged wife, Tanee, but he’s reportedly now married to his current wife, Aida Abramyam (pictured below). So again, bigamy is a crime in America people… one that Columbus could currently be trying to avoid getting outed for.
Violent Arrest Over His Latest Wife
By the way, Columbus’ marriage to his current alleged wife hasn’t been all peachy either. The two became engaged in 2016 and announced they were expecting a baby. However, by the time February 2018 rolled around, Columbus was booked and charged for beating Aida, who was reportedly listed as his wife.
He was initially sentenced to one year in jail, but ended up serving 34 days of his jail sentence, ultimately being released in March 2018. According to reports, the ex “Scandal” star was released a whopping 331 days early, due to overcrowding at the prison he was in. Talk about “luck,” right?
But there’s more…
Ex-Wife Karrine Steffans Accused Him Of Bigamy
That union quickly ended up in disaster, after Karrine accused Short of cheating, then publicly threw him and his clothes out of her spot (see above photo).
Columbus later claimed that they were never married, despite their viral wedding photos in 2016. Karrine refuted his claims and in March 2018, she set out to prove him wrong, accusing him of bigamy:
Via Page Six– Steffans sent us a copy of her marriage certificate, and says that she now believes he denied that they were ever married because he was still married to actress Tanee McCall.
Steffans told us, “I’ve been silent in the press for two years, but I’m tired of all the lies they tell about me.” Steffans showed Page Six texts that she claims are from July, during Short’s relationship with Aida.
Columbus trying to pull a ‘Frankie Lymon’ on us? Go back to full-time acting bruh, because your love life is seemingly stressin’ you.
