The latest video he’s starring in isn’t as positive, as in this one, he’s being arrested by Hallandale Beach police.

That video has since been obtained by Local 10 News.

In the footage, officers are seen serving a domestic violence restraining order on Watson, 42, on March 17 for allegedly beating his girlfriend. Those include him “forcibly slamming her head into a table,” according to a police report.

Authorities said the violence stemmed from the victim going to a Miami Heat game without Watson and wearing a shirt that showed cleavage.

According to police, Watson was upset because he paid for her breast implants and that she was being disrespectful for having them out, while also accusing her of cheating on him.

Watson was already out on bond for allegedly taking part in a violent fight in Miami, when, according to investigators, he left his girlfriend with bruises all over her body.

Watson boasts a fitness coaching program online that promises people to “become the man you admire.”

He is also a convicted felon.

Back in 2009, a California jury found him guilty on multiple charges, including robbery and assault and battery.

He was released in 2018, saying he was sober and a better man, and that’s when he started Watson Fitness.

Now he remains behind bars in Broward County.
