She also claimed many men were the victims of false allegations taken to court.
“I spend a lot of time in court with clients, but the amount of fake violence restraining orders against men, because he wanted to end the relationship because she was abusive, is just incredible,” she said.
Mac said she had seen men petrified to defend themselves against violence from their partner, “in case they get called a perpetrator”.
