According to the papers, which were filed on May 18, Pasqual hit her with a belt on January 29, broke down several doors in their Sunland, California, home on March 6 and raped and choked her on April 14.
The escalating abuse, which peaked with the horror stabbing on May 23, also included a violent incident on May 18 which prompted Shehorn to apply for a restraining order.
According to the make-up artist, Pasqual became angry at around 3am 'and started yelling and screaming at me, which happens when he's under the influence.'
She went on: 'He slapped me across the face and as I was trying to get away down the hallway, he grabbed my hair and pulled me back and I slammed into the floor hitting the back of my head on the ground.'
Shehorn says she attempted to hide in the bedroom of a friend called Christine White, 62, who shares the former couple's home.
Pasqual then allegedly tried to batter the door down and when she unlocked it, shoved it against her causing her to fall to the ground and hit her head again.
According to Shehorn, the incident left her with concussion while Pasqual went on to threaten White as she dialed 911.

The restraining order request also includes a disturbing account of the alleged rape perpetrated by Pasqual on April 14 at an Airbnb.
On that occasion, Shehorn said the couple had been drinking the previous day and had begun having sex early that morning.
She said Pasqual had begun hurting her so she asked him to stop, only for the 34-year-old to continue and hold her down by both wrists as she struggled to escape.
When she finally was able to get up, Pasqual unleashed an angry tirade, telling her she didn't love him if she didn't allow him to org*sm.
Then, as she tried to leave the room, Pasqual allegedly grabbed her by the throat and squeezed, only releasing her when she threatened to scream and alert the other people staying in the property.
Shehorn added: 'He has been violent in the past but never physically with me apart from two nights where he ripped clothes off of me [sic].'
