Brando's son 'abused ex-wife and stepdaughter'

Christian Brando, son of the late Hollywood legend Marlon Brando, is being sued by his ex-wife and stepdaughter who say he often abused and threatened to kill them.

Deborah Brando and her 13-year-old daughter filed a lawsuit against Brando, 46, in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking unspecified damages for violation of their civil rights, assault, domestic violence, battery and emotional distress, their lawyer Brian Oxman said.
