The ex-Wimbledon player, 52, has filed for divorce, claiming his 'life was at stake' - and says it was in fact her who cheated on him - with another woman who she calls her 'spiritual partner'.
Mrs Fashanu, 48, strenuously denies these allegations and says her ex-husband is 'sick and needs help'.
Fashanu, who also presented hit TV show Gladiators, wed Abigail in 2011 but their marriage hit the rocks last year.
While she is claiming to have caught him undressed in bed with two women, including the housemaid, he says he found her in bed with a female friend.
Mrs Fashanu denies this - claiming the woman is just a friend who was living with her for a short period.
As well as the allegations of cheating and threatening behaviour, the father of five has accused his wife of stealing thousands of pounds in cash from their marital home in Nigeria.
The former star said: 'My life was at risk and I didn't want it to happen again. That's why I filed for divorce.
Denying that he slept with the housemaid, he added: 'This is me, John Fashanu, you're talking to. It's absolute nonsense. If she wants to make up that story, at least let her say it's Beyoncé or someone.Fashanu, dubbed Fash the Bash for his tough reputation at Wimbledon, says his wife attacked him on a number of occasions and that the violence became too much to handle.
'I've been very fortunate to date some of the most beautiful women in the world. I certainly don't have to sleep with my cleaner!'
But Abigail, the mother of former beauty queen Adaeze Yobo, has suggested her estranged husband is deluded and says she does not take him seriously
The glamorous socialite, a qualified lawyer and mother-in-law to former Nigerian football captain Joseph Yobo, paints a very different picture of the split.
And she says that she is not angry with him - only with herself for ever agreeing to marry him in the first place.
