TMZ reports that Atlanta's Keshia Knight Pulliam is accusing her husband Ed Hartwell in divorce filings of trying to kill their unborn child.

Yes. This story is getting nuttier.

They met last year and got married in a hurry but things fell apart in a matter of months. She then got pregnant in the interim. Oddly, she announced the pregnancy last month ten days before Hartwell surprised her with divorce papers.

ExploreHere's how TMZ framed it:

Keshia claims in divorce docs Ed "has been plotting to harm and obstruct [her] pregnancy" by engaging in "certain underhanded and unusual conduct" that would trigger a miscarriage.

In their short relationship, she accused him of verbal abuse and cheating. She also asked a judge to keep him away her because he owns multiple firearms.

Flattering? Clearly not. He has previously asked for a paternity test to see if it's actually his baby, implying she cheated on him.

She is now five months pregnant:
