Domestic Violence

JERSEY SHORE GIRLFRIEND BUYS A FRENCH BULLDOG ON THE STREET – RODEO DRIVE!

Jersey Shore fans might be amused to know that Ronnie Ortiz-Magro’s girlfriend Jen Harley has a new guy to push around. You might remember that Jen has had a number of arrests for domestic violence- the last one was in Las Vegas in June when she was booked for assault with a deadly weapon after she threatened to kill her new boyfriend Joseph Ambrosole with a gun. Joseph apparently forgave her because this week he and Jen had lunch at Il Pastaio and shopped at Dior in Beverly Hills. On Rodeo Drive they ran into someone SELLING a coveted French bulldog ON THE STREET and Jen fell in love with it. Joe impulsively BOUGHT the pup for Jen for $3500. It’s horrifying, because the dog could have been stolen or in-bred by an unscrupulous breeder. Hopefully Jen treats her dogs better than her boyfriends…

SCARY SPICE HAD A SCARY MARRIAGE TO A FAKE BELAFONTE

At least SOMETHING GOOD has come out of Mel B “Scary Spice’s” abusive marriage to Stephen Belafonte. It seems Melanie has been recognized with an MBE award in the UK for her commitment to helping women suffering from domestic violence. We could never figure out what she saw in the guy. His real name was Stephen Stansbury and when he moved to LA from New Jersey, he changed his last name to Belafonte, hoping to pose as Harry Belafonte’s son. It did open a few doors. We were horrified to hear from people in his home town that he had taken a brick and violently killed a mallard duck he found his front yard in New Jersey before he left. He already had a record of burglary and assault. A waitress at the Rainbow bar on Sunset told me that Stephen and Mel were in the habit of sitting at the bar, trying to pick up pretty girls for “threesomes.” But it was not all fun and games. Mel started showing up for work on TV shows with cuts and bruises. Her friends begged her to dump the husband. Eventually she wised up and divorced the fake Belafonte- the sleazy guy now calls himself a “producer.”

HAYDEN PANETTIERE: YOU’RE NOT FOOLING US!

Hayden Panettiere seems to be falling back into some old bad habits – and the worst habit of all is her thuggish ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson. He recently got out of jail where he served 45 days for domestic violence against Hayden – he’d been arrested twice before for the same crime. After all that, the unsavory pair were seen TOGETHER in West Hollywood this week. Hickerson insisted they were NOT back together – that he’s in therapy and was trying to make amends for his crimes and establish a friendship. Sure. And Hayden insists she is sober. But the Heroes and Nashville actress hasn’t worked for the last five years. Her six year old daughter Kaya is still living with Hayden’s ex-fiancee Wladimir Klitschko in Ukraine with his family. It’s sad that Hayden can’t get her act together sufficiently to raise her own daughter…

ZACHERY TY BRYAN: ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT VIA BETTY FORD

Zachery Ty Bryan (He played Tim Allen’s oldest son on Home Improvement) was arrested last October for domestic violence (menacing and assault) when he attempted to strangle his girlfriend in Eugene, Oregon. Neighbors called police when they heard the loud physical dispute. Considering the charges, he got off easy (maybe helped by Covid) with 36 months of probation with multiple conditions. One of the conditions was a batterers intervention program and we’re guessing another was rehab. He quietly checked into Betty Ford in Palm Desert recently for substance abuse.

HAYDEN PANETTIERE AND HER LONG DISTANCE DAUGHTER

Just maybe, Hayden Panettiere is getting control of her life. She posted a sweet photo of herself and her five year old daughter who lives in Ukraine with her father, former boxer Vladimir Klitschko. Hayden claims that she has finally split with her questionable boyfriend of two years, Brian Nickerson, who was arrested for drunkenly punching her in the face in February, 2020, (and it wasn’t the first time he’s been violent.) Hayden WAS smart to have her daughter live in a safe environment with her father while her own life was unstable, but how a mother could live thousands of miles away from her only child is difficult to fathom. Hopefully Hayden will finally get a grip on her life.

AMBER HEARD GOT THE LAST WORD

We are SO proud of Amber Heard for her courageous retort to Johnny Depp’s 50 million dollar defamation lawsuit against her. The pair had a messy divorce in 2016 after only a year of marriage. In 2018 Amber wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post describing her experience with domestic abuse, but she never named Depp. He didn’t like her insinuations and foolishly filed that lawsuit. Amber coolly responded by DETAILING every revolting and violent thing Johnny did to her. She talked about drugs and alcohol and his monumental ego. Sadly, we believe Amber because Johnny also misbehaved and abused staffers on movie sets (where no one DARED complain!) The fact that Amber knows Johnny has a large quantity of fans who HATE her, makes this retort even more daring.

HEATHER LOCKLEAR AND HER HISTORY OF VIOLENCE

The idea of petite and feminine Heather Locklear, 56, getting high and beating up her boyfriends is utterly fascinating and unexpected. Heather’s first two husbands were rock stars – Tommy Lee and Richie Sambora -so she was exposed to self indulgence and substance abuse early on. But Heather had a clean record until she hit her forties – that’s when her “history of violence” began. Sometimes she appeared bruised in public. DUI’s started piling up and Heather reportedly punched her fiancée Jack Wagner in 2011, and the relationship ended. Plastic surgeon Dr Marc Mani was her boyfriend for awhile – we wonder if she beat HIM up! The latest victim was her high school sweetheart, who didn’t find the success she did after graduation. Chris Heisser served two years in prison for theft and fraud, and he told police that Heather attacked him and tried to bite off his nose. She turned her attack on police when they arrived and assaulted several officers while cursing a blue streak. How embarrassing for anyone who happened to be in her house. (daughter Ava?) Heather is the new poster girl for Violence Against Men.

JERMAINE JACKSUN IS A VICTIM OF DOMESTIC ABUSE

73752PCN_Jermaine03acut

Jermaine Jacksun (he legally changed the spelling of his name “for artistic reasons.”) has always been a bit of a mystery. We got the feeling that he resented the success which seemed to come so easily to his brother Michael and sister Janet. He’s back in the news because his WIFE was arrested for domestic abuse – she bit him on the leg and spent a few hours in jail. Halima Rashid, 38, supposedly comes from a well-to-do family in Afghanistan. Although he lives well, it always seems like Jermaine, 60, is short of money. He’s appeared on many tacky reality shows in England and Celebrity Wife Swap here. He did come up with the $50,000 to bail his wife out, however.

SEAN PENN CLAIMS HE WAS NEVER VIOLENT WITH MADONNA – OR ANY OTHER WOMEN

103939PCN_Penn02cut

The fact that Sean Penn is suing Lee Daniels for ten million dollars for claiming he’s a wife beater is a FASCINATING turn of events. Daniels had offhandedly commented to The Hollywood Reporter that Empire star Terrence Howard’s record of violence against women was no worse than Marlon Brando’s or Sean Penn’s – in other words “no big deal.” We’re SHOCKED that Penn, who seemed to enjoy his bad boy rep, took offense. Penn claims that although he’s had problems with the law, he’s never been CONVICTED of domestic violence. We remember the violent episode many years ago that ended his marriage to Madonna. She told her close friends about it but never discussed it in public. Granted, the hot -tempered actor may not have been ARRESTED for domestic violence – but he knows in his heart he’s GUILTY. The women in question preferred to avoid public embarrassment by calling attention to his behavior. Or maybe they were AFRAID. It certainly would be interesting if Madonna were called to testify in this case – would she tell the truth?

CHARLIE SHEEN IS THE MOST POPULAR ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY SINCE ERROL FLYNN

Is there ANYTHING Charlie Sheen hasn’t been addicted to? First it was BOOZE, and DRUGS, including heroin and crack, then it was SEX with hookers on call at all hours. And don’t forget, when he was high he liked to go SHOPPING and blow tons of money on frivolities. He’s also been accused of being addicted to ONLINE sex and admits his addiction to online GAMBLING. His addictions contributed to the domestic violence that got him arrested for roughing up his wife in Aspen. Charlie’s lawyer had a sweet deal set up whereby Charlie would only serve 30 days in jail and be able to leave jail for up to 12 hours a day and work at a local community theater, coaching aspiring actors. But the deal fell through because they don’t allow smoking at the theater and Charlie is addicted to his NICOTINE habit. So the court date is postponed until July 12 and the new deal might interfere with the “Two and a Half Men” shooting schedule. It’s amazing but Charlie’s self indulgences seem not to affect his popularity or that of his show. He’s teflon. No matter WHAT he does, everybody loves Charlie.
