AN UNDER fire millionaire has released amazing footage of his former fiancee beating herself up during a rage to rubbish claims he abused her.
Scott Mitchell, 45, has released the video of Mary Hunt, 29, which reportedly shows her hitting herself as part of a bitter legal battle.
The Florida businessman has accused Hunt of stealing $2.1million worth of jewellery from the safe in his massive mansion following their split last summer.
In response she claims Mitchell gave her black eyes and bruises before breaking off their wedding in August.
But his attorney Todd Foster told FOX 13: “The explanation for the black eye is now very different.
“There is no evidence that he ever beat her. This video now demonstrates that she is striking herself in the same area of the face and head that they allege Scott struck her.”
Mitchell’s legal team have now hired a former FBI forensic expert to study the footage.
Hunt has spoken out about the alleged abuse in the past.
She told the TV station in June: “There were so many times when I wanted to give up, but I couldn’t do it anymore and I think about how much he would have wanted this.”
Earlier this year, Mitchell filed a lawsuit against his 29-year-old ex and her parents Linda and Michael Hunt.
He claims they helped her hide the jewels which include 99 three-diamond necklaces, 147 gold rings and 172 loose diamonds.
Hunt was charged with grand theft in October.
The lawsuit is claiming costs to recover the stolen items plus damages for a total of $4million.
Mitchell, CEO of salon products company Simply Organic, was in a relationship with Mary Hunt for two years.
He claimed he paid for everything, including her mortgage, credit card debt, health insurance and let her drive his 2015 Mercedes Benz.
