Barton said that Green, who once shared a mic with him on the talk show “In the Interest of the People”, immediately jerked open the door of Barton’s Cadillac and started swinging what appeared to be a sawed-off baseball bat at his head. His former attorney, Stewart Springer, said Barton was secretly recorded having sex with her. Divorce court records say the encounters were recorded in the back of a liquor store the couple own.

After Saturday’s incident, both Barton and Green were taken to the hospital for treatment.
“If Benny did this, he would have had reason to do it”, Springer said.
“Ain’t no doubt about it”, Barton told AL.com. “So again, he has since been transferred to the Jefferson County Jail after the investigator got the warrant today”, said Lt. Brian Gilham, with the Vestavia Hills Police Department. “If I hadn’t kicked him twice in the b*lls I’d be dead”. “I do know that it’s illegal to videotape someone without their permission, and I know that Benny is a master Photo Shopper”.
Barton said he pulled up to Cahaba Heights Plaza Barber Shop, where he also cuts hair part time, around 8 a.m. on Saturday and saw “a guy in a hood and trench coat standing there”.
“I was glad [Green] attacked him”, Springer said. Green tried fleeing the scene on a bicycle but was stopped by bystanders, the statement said.
He saved himself, he says, because he was able to kick his assailant in the groin from the driver’s seat of the vehicle. “He fell on the ground”.
However, the Greens are now in the process of a divorce.
Barton has denied any romantic link to Green’s wife.
