IRVINE, Calif. (KABC) — An Irvine dermatologist was caught on a hidden camera pouring drain cleaner into her husband’s cup on at least three separate occasions, court documents allege.
Yue “Emily” Yu, 45, was arrested last week for allegedly poisoning her husband after he provided video evidence to authorities.
Now that evidence has been made public through a restraining order he filed against her.
The order alleges that Yu maintained a verbally and physically abusive relationship toward her husband and their two children.

The court granted a temporary restraining order and set a hearing for the permanent order on Aug. 18.
The husband, a radiologist, also filed for divorce on the same day he requested the restraining order.
The couple, who married in 2012, have two children, a 7-year-old son and an 8-year-old daughter.
“Both children have suffered physical, verbal and emotional abuse” the documents allege.
Other exceptions from the documents:
The poisoning apparently began in March, the husband said. He started noticing a chemical taste in his lemonade from him, which he drinks hot. A doctor diagnosed him with two stomach ulcers, gastritis and esophagitis.
Suspicious of his wife, he installed cameras in their kitchen.
The images submitted to court appear to show Yu taking a bottle of drain cleaner, believed to be Drano, from under the sink and pouring it into a cup. In at least one image, she is seen putting the cup on a table near her husband de ella.
After I reported the incident to Irvine police, Yu was arrested.
Her husband says she called him to post bail, but he refused.
Yu’s defense attorney told ABC News the allegations are false.
