‘Urkel’ denies abuse claim

Former “Family Matters” star and current “Dancing With the Stars” hoofer Jaleel “Urkel” White is denying that he physically abused his ex-girlfriend, Bridget Hardy.

Hardy, the mother of White’s young daughter, told Star magazine White hit her “across the chest area” and pushed her into a toilet in 2010 when she confronted him about being unfaithful.

“God knows the truth. The authorities’ swift dismissal of her police report are two years in my past,” White told E! News.

“I can assure all of my fans this is only residue from a child custody matter.”
