'Kane Show' Host No Longer Barred from Contacting Estranged Wife

Potomac, MD — While a protective order against Peter Deibler, the host of the syndicated radio talk show “The Kane Show,” was not extended by a judge Thursday, he still faces a trial for allegedly assaulting his estranged wife.

Deibler, 39, of Rockville, was arrested June 17 on charges he shoved wife, Natasha Deibler, into a wall. He is charged with second-degree assault, according to Maryland court records, and remains free on $3,500 bond.

The couple is in the midst of a nasty divorce, says The Washington Post.

A temporary protective order was issued June 20 which barred Deibler from contacting his wife or entering her Potomac home. But that order has expired after a Thursday hearing in which Circuit Court Judge Terrence McGann decided that Deibler had tried to close the door to his apartment when Natasha Deibler tried to force her way inside.

The Washington Post report of the hearing says both spouses claim the other has abused substances and acted erratically.

Deibler’s nationally syndicated radio show is based at HOT 99.5 FM in Rockville.

Natasha Deibler claims that on May 25 her husband grabbed her and threw her into a wall as their daughters watched, resulting in a sprained knee, head injury, bruises and a black eye, according to the Post.

“It’s an accusation that’s unfounded,” Peter Deibler told the newspaper.

His attorney says Natasha Deibler fell as her husband tried to close the door to keep her out of his residence.
