Hanks’ son shown amid contentiou­s split

- By Peter Sblendorio New York Daily News

Chet Hanks accuses his exgirlfrie­nd of attacking him “with a knife” in a newly surfaced video.

Hanks, the son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, is seen with what appears to be blood on his face as he films the clip, which was published Wednesday by TMZ.

His ex, Kiana Parker, denies attacking him with a knife and claims in the video that Hanks “pushed” her, which he denies.

“She’s mad ‘cause I caught her stealing,” Hanks, 30, claims to the camera. “Stealing my money. Taking my credit cards and charging her rent to ‘em.”

The video also seems to show Parker swipe her hand toward Hanks at one point.

Hanks, who is an actor and musical artist, says the footage is from an incident at his house in Sugarland, Texas, on Jan. 8, according to TMZ.

He is reportedly suing Parker for assault and battery, as well as theft and return of money. He claims Parker was accompanie­d by three men at his home that day, including one who allegedly had a gun.

“The day after Chet Hanks confronted Kiana Parker about stealing money from his credit card, while Ms. Parker was accompanie­d by a huge male carrying a gun she viciously attacked Chet with a knife, which caused him to profusely bleed. It is all on video and the undisputed video tells the whole story,” a lawyer for Hanks told TMZ. “Her claims are completely false, fabricated and fictional.”

Parker alleges that Hanks was the one who held a knife during the incident, saying she was at the home with movers. She claims Hanks attacked her in the street that day.

Parker has accused Hanks of multiple instances of violence between last October and January, and received a temporary restrainin­g order, TMZ reported.

A lawyer for Parker told TMZ she wants to make the restrainin­g order permanent, and said his client is currently receiving undisclose­d attention from a doctor.

Hanks’ recent acting jobs include roles on the series “Your Honor” and “Shameless,” as well as an appearance in his father’s World War II drama “Greyhound.”
