Stacey Dash's estranged husband claims he was 'hypnotised' into marriage in annulment filing

Stacey Dash's estranged husband, Jeffrey Marty, is requesting a "quick annulment" after claiming that Dash and her pastor used "hypnotic prayer techniques" to get him to consent to marriage.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, Marty, a lawyer, says he and the Clueless star tied the knot on April 6, 2018. He says they only married 10 days after Dash's pastor "unexpectedly and suddenly proclaimed that it was God's will" to do so.

Dash's publicist, Claudia Greene, responded to the statements.

"In our country, people are free to say whatever they want regardless if their statement is baseless. That's what makes America so great," Greene said. "With that being said, Stacey also filed her response in saying that she was unaware of her estranged husband's mental state at the time of her marriage. With the line made famous by the film War Games 'Sometimes the only way to win is not to play.' Stacey hopes her case will be finalised soon."

Dash, 53, first filed for divorce from Marty in June, nine months after she was arrested for domestic violence after she allegedly assaulted Marty after an argument at their New York home, according to TMZ.

Dash announced the pair had split in April.

"My husband and I have made the hard decision of ending our marriage," Dash's Instagram statement read. "After much prayer, I feel this is the right path for both of us. I wish him nothing but the best. Thank you everyone for your support and [for] respecting our privacy during this difficult time."
