Ex-wife Dixie, with whom he is in the midst of a bitter divorce battle, wrote otherwise.

Berman read her letter, in which she said D'Souza had forged her signature on cheques as a way to skirt campaign finance laws. Even worse, she wrote, D'Souza was violent toward her, Daily News reported.

"It is my former husband who has an abusive nature. In one instance, it was my husband who physically abused me in April 2012 when he, using his purple belt karate skills, kicked me in the head and shoulder, knocking me to the ground and creating injuries that pain me to this day," she read out loud.

D'Souza's attorney dismissed those allegations as completely false, according to Daily News.

A former policy advisor to President Ronald Reagan, D'Souza was forced to resign in October 2012 as president of The King's College, a Christian school in New York, when it emerged that he was engaged to a woman while still married to his first wife.

Considered the second-most-successful political documentary in U.S. box office history, "2016" has made more than $33 million since it was released in July 2012 during the heat of the presidential elections, according to Deadline.
