Katie Porter dumped scalding mashed potatoes on then-husband’s head, resurfaced divorce docs reveal

This fight sure got heated.

California gubernatorial contender Katie Porter once dumped scolding mashed potatoes on her then-husband’s head during a fight, resurfaced divorce documents allege as clips of her fiery temper continue to go viral.

The former Golden State congresswoman’s ex-hubby, Matthew Hoffman, filed for divorce in 2013 and detailed that the Democrat — who has a reputation for exploding at her staff — frequently abused him verbally and threw “toys, books and other objects” at him during their marriage, The Post previously reported.

Hoffman also filed for a restraining order from his rage-prone spouse, claiming she would “routinely” call him a “f—ing idiot” and “f—ing incompetent” – and shattered a glass coffee pot in their kitchen counter in March 2012 when she felt their house wasn’t clean enough.

“She would not let me have a cell phone because she said, ‘You’re too f—ing dumb to operate it,’” Hoffman said of Porter, 51, who has been in the hot seat this week as videos capturing her going scorched-earth and berating her former staff members made headlines.

“When she gets angry, she will claw and scratch her arms and then say to me ‘Look what you made me do!’” She regularly says that I am a bad parent in front of the kids … Recently the children began spitting at me and throwing their food at me, calling me ‘bad daddy.’”

In 2006, Hoffman said, Porter took issue with how Hoffman was preparing mashed potatoes for dinner, asking him: “Can’t you read the f—ing instructions!” Then, her ex-husband said, Porter raised a “ceramic bowl of steaming hot potatoes and dumped it on my head, burning my scalp.”

In her first congressional run, Porter cast herself as a “victim of domestic violence” and frequently highlighted her role as a single mom.

The testy lawmaker is vying to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in the Nov. 3 election.
