Matthew Rondeau allegedly attacked a transgender woman at Shanna Moakler’s Los Angeles home while she was away filming “Celebrity Big Brother.”
In early February, Elissa Lorenn allegedly went to Moakler’s house with her friend Shayan to hang out with Rondeau.
Lorenn claims when they arrived, they found Rondeau in bad shape as he’d just learned Moakler — whom he’s been on-again, off-again with since 2020 — had allegedly cheated on him.
“He had taken a knife and ripped through her paintings,” Lorenn claims to Page Six. “When I first got there he didn’t seem that f–ked up, but as the night progressed I was like, ‘Oh, this is like a lot.’”
According to Lorenn, the group made their way to the hot tub and were “having a few drinks” when the 29-year-old, who was naked, allegedly grew “stern and very kind of serious.”
“He walked up to me in the hot tub … and grabbed my face and started making out with me,” she alleges, adding that two other women were with her in the hot tub. “The night continues to go on, and he’s getting more and more sexual with not even just me but even with Shayan,” Lorenn claims.
Both Lorenn and Shayan brushed Rondeau’s behavior off as nothing more than an annoyance, but later in the evening, Lorenn and Shayan claim that everything changed. Lorenn eventually went inside to get a charger because her phone had died and claims Rondeau followed her inside and then had a personality “switch.”
“He pushes me against the wall and slaps me across the face very hard,” Lorenn claims, “and then puts his hands around my neck to choke me. I say ‘choke’ in the sense of low-key it was like a strangle.”
Lorenn claims she woke up the next morning and couldn’t move her neck and had bruises on her neck and shoulders.
“Even my face was swollen because of how hard he hit me,” she says, “He’s like a big man. I may be trans, but I’m certainly not that big. He’s a big man.”
With his eyes “glazed over,” Rondeau allegedly began making out with Lorenn “aggressively” before trying to “take it a little further,” but Lorenn claims that she was able to escape.
“It was such a shock to my system,” she shares. “I couldn’t even function. I was like, ‘What the f–k is happening to me right now?’”
Once Lorenn’s phone turned back on she called a car and fled Moakler’s house. When she woke up and saw her bruises, she explains she didn’t go to the police because of her previous experiences as a trans woman. She never filed a police report about the alleged incident.
“I’m a trans woman. This is not something that I necessarily haven’t experienced before,” she tells us, “so my first instinct was not to go to the police.”
Rondeau declined to comment on Lorenn’s claims. Moakler’s rep didn’t return Page Six’s request for comment.
Page Six also spoke with Shayan, who was at Moakler’s house that night and verified Lorenn’s claims.
Shayan tells us that Rondeau was allegedly being “out of control and a belligerent drunk” and witnessed Rondeau grab Lorenn in the hot tub. While she didn’t witness what allegedly occurred inside of Moakler’s house, Shayan says that she saw her the following day and noticed her bruises.
Last month in a separate incident with Moakler, police arrested Rondeau for felony domestic violence after he posted a terrifying video on her Instagram account. The former Playboy model was subsequently granted a protective order against him.
“Thank you to everyone calling with concern about Shanna,” her manager told us at the time. “She is OK and survived this traumatic experience.”
Rondeau denied allegations that he got physical with Moakler, claiming, “You know I’d never lay a hand on another Woman. My Mother is my Angel and my Best Friend. She raised me right.”
He also said at the time Moakler was trying to make him the “villain.”
