Andy Ruiz's ex
Former world heavyweight champion boxer Andy Ruiz's ex-girlfriend has reportedly gotten a permanent restraining order against him after allegations of sexual assault from the 34-year-old.
The order was granted earlier this month to Julia Lemus, who had been seeking a protection order since last April.
Lemus alleges Ruiz sexually assaulted, abused, and terrorized her throughout their relationship, per TMZ.
Ruiz' ex-wife also alleges he pointed an AK-47 at her face last year after she said she was uncomfortable with a recent gun purchase he made.
Lemus and Ruiz began dating in 2016, with the order saying the boxer would often grab and yank Lemus to move her wherever he wanted her to go. Lemus further claimed Ruiz would 'jokingly' punch her arms and legs, leaving bruises, per TMZ.

Lemus also claims Ruiz began sexually assaulting her last year, by forcing himself onto her at least six times.
Lemus was granted a temporary restraining order after the initial allegations. Ruiz vehemently denied the claims, forcing a court battle between the parties to determine whether a permanent restraining order needed to be put in place.
Both Ruiz and Lemus testified in front of a judge, as did witnesses, with the judge ruling in favor of Lemus on April 8.
A 3-year restraining order is in place, with Lemus able to renew the request before the agreement expires on April 8, 2027.
The judge making the ruling, Sharon L. Kalemkiarian, stated in court filings she determined evidence showed Lemus 'is in fear as a result of aggressive, demeaning and controlling behavior by Mr. Ruiz,' Per TMZ.

'Mr. Ruiz did assault her,' Kalemkiarian added, 'did disturb her peace, and did exercise coercive control throughout the entire relationship.'
The protection order covers a few parameters, including a requirement that Ruiz must stay 100 yards away from Lemus, her home, her job, and her vehicle, per TMZ.
Ruiz must also have no guns and was ordered to take a 12-week anger management course.
Ruiz has not responded publicly to the report, with his last post on social media being a video with his new partner, Mayeli Alonso, announcing her pregnancy in March.
Kalemkiarian also gave Lemus sole custody of the couple's two children, with Ruiz allowed to have supervised visits with them.
Ruiz last fought in September 2022 with a win over Luis Ortiz.
