Grammer says Charalambopoulos smashed her iPhone when she tried to call for help.
"I was recuperating in my bed when he hit me," she said.
"I just got out of a major surgery. I was completely vulnerable. He was supposed to be there to take care of me, comfort me, bring me food. I still wake up in the middle of the night with this vision in my head of being hit."
Charalambopoulos was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Grammer and her two children with her ex-husband, actor Kelsey Grammer.
""I am still in shock," she told the gossip site. "This is the man who said he loved me."
