           Yue Yu, 45, also known as ‘Emily’ was caught on camera pouring the drain cleaner into her husband Jack Chen’s drink earlier this year

 

A dermatologist accused of poisoning her estranged husband with Drano has come face-to-face with her spouse in a court hearing in a bitter spat over their children.

Yue Yu, 45, also known as ‘Emily’ was caught on camera pouring the drain cleaner into her husband Jack Chen’s drink - causing him serious injuries.

She was previously issued a restraining order against their two children, after Chen, 53, accused her of poisoning him with the dangerous liquid three times.

Chen, a radiologist, handed over footage of Yu supposedly pouring the Drano into his lemonade at their $2.7million mansion to cops in Irvine.

He has since filed for divorce, with a judge granting him a restraining order which also covered their two children – aged seven and eight.

However, Yu is fighting to see her children and came face-to-face with her estranged spouse in the latest custody battle on Friday in Orange, California.

She was arrested on August 4 after he accused her of poisoning him but was released a day later after posting a $30,000 bond.

On August 5 Chen served Yu with divorce papers and she was ordered to stay 100 yards away from the family at all times.

Steven Hittleman, a lawyer for Chen, claims that he suffered swelling in his esophagus and stomach ulcers from drinking the spiked liquid.

At a previous hearing, the court heard that he spent weeks wondering what caused him to get sick, with his legal team releasing the footage of his wife from a hidden camera in their kitchen.

Chen claims that he was tortured by his wife regularly, telling a court that he denied her a massage and she ‘stepped on his head’ until he did it.

He places the nanny cam in the kitchen of their home after growing suspicious that his wife was deliberately making him ill.

Yu’s attorney, David Wohl, claims that she was only using the cleaner for its intended purpose, and poured the Drano into an ‘empty cup'

 

The three dates he captured the alleged criminal act on camera were July 11, July 18 and July 25.

Court documents reveal that he claims his wife’s alleged rage and erratic behavior emerged early on, but he only became concerned after their children were born.

Chen, who is fighting for sole custody, claims Yu and his mother-in-law , Yuqin 'Amy' Gu, started abusing their children when they were as young as two-years-old.

He claims the children were screamed at, slapped, insulted and deprived of sleep, and locked in their rooms.

Yu would allegedly commonly use a Chinese phrase towards the kids that means 'go die!'

He said the children learned early on that 'Emily's rule is everything’ adding: 'Emily's parenting if you could call it that revolves around yelling, insulting, verbally abusing, hitting, pushing, pulling and being emotionally abusive.’

Hittelman said Chen called him in July to share video evidence that his wife tried to spike his hot lemonade with Drano, the chemical substance typically used to rid clogs in drains

Chen said that Yu tried to turn the children against him, yelling at them if they told her they enjoyed spending time with him until they ‘assured her they would not show affection’ towards their father.

Yu’s attorney, David Wohl, claims that she was only using the cleaner for its intended purpose, and poured the Drano into an ‘empty cup.’

He also insists that his client is being set up, saying 'The idea that my client, who is a 45-year-old well-respected dermatologist in Orange County, would destroy her life, destroy her children's lives and try to kill her husband is just completely absurd and untrue - and for that matter defamatory.

'It was for facilitating use in the sink or any other part of the house that was clogged as far as the drainage goes ... but she never poured any Drano or any chemical into any drink that the father or her husband used or was drinking ever that's completely untrue.'

He also calls Chen 'desperate' to both divorce Yu and gain custody of their two children, which Hittleman denies.
