Brian Giles' ex-wife stated in 2004 that he and his former girlfriend, Cheri Olvera, had ?several physical altercations? in front of his children. Giles ?struck Cheri with his forearm while they were at the McDonald's drive-thru (in 2004),? Giles' ex-wife, Doddie, stated in a 2004 court declaration made under the penalty of perjury. ?In November of 2004, during a heated argument, while the children and my nanny were staying with (Giles), (Giles) shoved Cheri off of the sofa so hard that she fell on the floor and left the room crying. This occurred in front of the children and was very upsetting for them.? Olvera filed a $10 million palimony lawsuit against him last year, saying she had a ?marriage-like relationship? with him from from 2002 to 2008 but never married because of Giles' violence toward her. Doddie Giles filed for divorce from Giles in October 2002 ? after she said Giles became involved with Olvera. Olvera has accused Giles of several instances of abuse in her suit against him. Giles has denied Olvera's allegations and has countersued her, saying it was she who abused him.
