LATEST: Former BOND star George Lazenby has slammed his estranged wife for branding him an "abusive alcoholic" who gave alcohol to his children.

Tennis ace Pam Shriver is divorcing the actor after six years of marriage.

Shriver claims he has threatened to kill her and previously assaulted her in a drunken rage.

She further claims he fed alcohol to their three kids: George, four; and twins Caitlin and Samuel, two.

In papers filed at a Los Angeles court, Shriver claims, "Respondent (Lazenby) has threatened to kill me if I seek custody of the children. Respondent twisted my ear (August 2007) and bruised my arms (June 2007). Respondent argues and fights with me in front of the children.

"Throughout 2006 and 2007, I observed and objected to Respondent offering our children beer from beer bottles and ice from Scotch glasses."

But Lazenby is challenging a restraining order she filed against him and is asking for joint custody of their kids.

Denying the allegations, he says, "I have not abused (Shriver) or our children."

Lazenby's spokesman, Michael Sands, adds, "George will go to the end of the Earth for his kids and he is devastated by a lot of false accusations."
