Two new videos have emerged showing Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dyingtim in a heated exchange turned physical confrontation with his wife, Dany Lambesis.
The first video begins with a shirtless Lambesis on the edge of the bed having what appears to be a tense conversation with his wife. Lambesis lunges forward aggressively and quickly retreats, slamming his hands on a suitcase and stomping his feet. The video shows him returning to the bed while yelling, and when Dany responds Lambesis lunges again this time grabbing her face with both hands. He then releases her and begins to to hit himself in the head and chest. The video clip ends with Tim covering the camera after he notices it’s recording.
The second clip shows the frontman flipping a table while seated with his wife. When Dany Lambesis tries to leave the room, it shows Tim Lambesis intercepting her and punching himself in the face, begging her to love him.
Tim Lambesis took to his social media to comment on the video clips, writing:
“There is currently a restraining order and a domestic violence investigation being filed against Dany Norris (formerly Lambesis). Anything she is saying now is to distract people away from that to instead focus on my own inappropriate (but not illegal) reactions to these anxiety inducing interactions.
This woman assaulted me and verbally/mentally abused me over 3 years. I took the much needed and overdue step to leave her yesterday by delivering divorce papers. That is the reason there have been attempts at retaliation toward me online today that pale in comparison to what will really be the focus of the courts.
The following evidences are part of the case:
• multiple videos of her assaulting me
• videos of her chasing me around the house with a knife or scissors
• video of her insisting that I delete all other accounts of her physically assaulting me under threat of her knocking me out with a weapon held over my head
• photos of a black-eye she gave me with witness accounts of the event
• witness accounts of me being threatened if I try to leave, even temporarily
I’m certain she will counter by trying to expose my anxiety filled reactions and defenses, but please remember that reacting in panic by hurting myself is far different than what I’ve listed above.
The timing of these public attacks online are because I served her with divorce papers yesterday after many days of her pleading for me stay while also flipping back and forth to attempting to exert abusive control.
This is blatantly a retaliation for me finally leaving a relationship I should have run from a long time ago.”
The new clips come after the As I Lay Dying frontman found himself at the center of multiple scandals this year, including the mass exodus of his fellow band members Ryan Neff, Ken Susi, Nick Piere and Phil, all citing a lack of a healthy work environment as well as concerning patterns of behavior that go against the band member’s conscience.
Another of Lambesis’ band members from his side project Austrian Death Machine also publicly distanced himself from the project listing “the endless cycle of ‘I’ll do better"” and a “pattern that eroded [his] trust and well being”.

Some were unsure about my claims about Tim Lambesis I made in this video (linked here https://t.co/qBsQFFWQgA ) but 2 videos dropped yesterday of him acting in the same manner towards his wife pic.twitter.com/FZy6A3Y3Zx
