‘Get out of the car, I just spoke with your lawyer,’ Michael was seen yelling at Major, who urged him to step out of the road.

Major called her ex a ‘psychopath’ noting that he was ‘calling the f***ing cops.’

Major was heard saying, ‘These poor kids, these poor children,’ then telling Michael, ‘You’re out of your f***ing mind.’

Major said: ‘Oh my God, oh my f***ing God, I didn’t even get out of the driveway.’
