When one woman leaves, another one comes?

Months after his streak of bad luck, Columbus Short seems to have caught a break with a new woman in his life, Rashida Russel. And the best part about Russel is, she knows about his violent history and doesn’t give a damn.

According to what the new girlfriend told TMZ, they met in Barbados during Carnival a few months ago—when he was supposed to be in court *sips tea*—and when they both returned to the states, their relationship flourished.

His new lady is smitten with him, helping him stay focused on his career, and isn’t worried about him having a repeat of his violent episodes because, “he treats me like a queen!”

The two now live in ATL together as he moved her from NY to his current state of residence.
