The hard-partying late son of accused murderer Alex Murdaugh allegedly beat and strangled his ex-girlfriend — and once had his family cover up his drunken driving crash, the former flame claimed.

Morgan Doughty, 23, who dated Paul Murdaugh in high school, spoke out for the first time about the harrowing abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of the youngest Murdaugh in the Netflix documentary, “Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal.”

His South Carolina legal scion father is currently standing trial, accused of fatally shooting Paul, 22, and his wife Maggie, 52, in June 2021.

Doughty claims Paul allegedly began kicking her after drinking heavily.

She said she begged Paul to stop but he grabbed her by the throat and punched her. Doughty didn’t elaborate on when the alleged attack occurred.
