Netflix's latest true crime documentary has shown shocking nanny cam footage of a wife abusing her husband.
The streaming giant recently released the heartbreaking film, My Wife My Abuser: Captured on Camera, which first aired on Channel Five earlier this year.
Watch a clip from the documentary below:The 90-minute documentary detailed the horrific abuse Richard Spencer endured at the hands of his wife, Sheree, for over two decades.
From the outside, the couple seemed to have a picture-perfect family life as Richard was a successful IT designer, while his wife held a high-ranking position at the Ministry of Justice. They resided in a six-bedroom house in Bubwith, England, with their three daughters.
However, behind closed doors, Sheree subjected her husband to the most vile humiliation and terror - both physically and emotionally.
The 47-year-old handed over 43 photos of injuries, 36 videos, and nine mobile recordings to authorities after finding the courage to speak out about the violence he was experiencing.
The documentary showed these harrowing pieces of evidence, as well as shocking never-before-seen nanny cam footage that revealed proof of Sheree's abusive behavior.
One video caught on the camera, which was installed after the birth of the couple's third daughter in 2015, caught Sheree threatening Richard with a knife in front of their children, according to Daily Mail.
Another disturbing clip revealed Sheree grabbing her husband's hair and hitting him while calling him awful words like "fat c***" and a "lazy b******" for not putting a chicken in the oven.
In the documentary, the father-of-three said: “Sheree’s abuse towards me evolved and escalated over time, she used repeated acts of physical assault, threats, verbal abuse, and humiliation to punish and exercise control over me.
“The abuse was hidden from the outside world, including friends and family. Sheree manipulated me into believing that I was a responsible and willing participant in the abuse," he continued. “She remorselessly proclaimed that I deserved to be punished and that it was a justifiable consequence of me disappointing her in some way.”
Many viewers were left in tears after watching the heartbreaking documentary and took to their social media to share their reactions.
"Genuinely can't put into words the sheer heartbreak and disgust I feel. That poor man and his kids. I feel physically sick. Domestic abuse is not a gendered crime! Anyone can be victims of it," one person said.
"#MyWifeMyAbuser is such a hard watch, that man is so brave for speaking out about what he went through," a second commented.
"I'm just watching my wife, my abuser my heart breaks for this poor guy. I'm glad he found the courage to speak out," a third added.
Richard revealed that the verbal abuse and the humiliation he suffered affected him the most, explaining: "Things that affected me more than the physical attacks would be the more demoralizing things she would do to me," he said, per Daily Mail.
"In the kitchen, we would often have a box of 12 or more eggs which she would take over to me and crack over my head or push into my face. She was so angry sometimes that the eggshell would cut into my skin.
"I'd have to go upstairs and shower to get the egg out of my hair and clothes - I would feel hopeless a lot of the time after these things happened," he added.
Sheree was eventually sentenced to four years in prison last year. The judge, Kate Rayfield, described the case as "the worst incidence of controlling and coercive behavior [she had ever] seen".
My Wife, My Abuser is available to watch on Netflix now.
