Who Are Rob Kramer and Monica Fairview?
Monica first met Rob when she was already divorced once and fighting for the custody of her daughter. The two hit it off quite well and eventually married in December 1998.

According to Monica’s brother, who lived with them for a while, Rob was verbally abusive.

But as per the show, Rob wouldn’t let go and would keep calling her. Once in July 2009, Rob showed up at one of Monica’s holiday trips. Then, by 2011, Monica was single again and had temporarily moved in with Rob in Atlanta, Georgia. On September 24, 2011, she went to a concert with her brother.
However, Monica had told Rob earlier that she would be taking their daughter. When he returned home later, he was angry with that Monica left their daughter home. Rob then left her a message saying he was kicking her out of the house. The incident took place sometime during the early hours of September 25, 2011. According to the daughter, who was 11 at the time, an angry Monica came home and said, “I will stab him if I have to.” She went out after showing a knife in her waistband.

Rob was rushed to the hospital and fortunately survived. As for Monica, she was arrested while walking with her daughter close by. Monica had also recorded the whole attack, later hurting her case in court. According to witnesses, Rob didn’t fight back during the incident.
