Domestic Violence

JOHNNY DEPP’S LAWYERS ARE THE HAPPY ONES

Things are looking worse and worse for litigious Johnny Depp. He’s set to go to court next month for his defamation lawsuit against his ex Amber Heard because she wrote an article for The Washington Post supporting women who come forward and talk about violence and abuse like she did, and how they can suffer from blacklisting and lost jobs for doing so, because men protect each other. Johnny Depp’s name was NEVER mentioned in the article but he took offense and, against advice, sued. Of course Amber countersued (she DOES have the right to free speech) and a female judge just made it easier for Amber to succeed. Johnny’s lawsuits are dimming his popularity even more than Amber’s abuse charges.

Divorce Domestic Abuse Domestic Violence Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown Stephen Belafonte

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.”

Betty Ford Domestic Violence Home Improvement Zachery Ty Bryan

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.

Daughter Domestic Violence

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.

Assault Domestic Violence Heather Locklear

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.

Domestic Violence Lawsuit Lee Daniels Madonna Sean Penn

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

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?

Brawl Domestic Violence Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown Spice Girls Stephen Belafonte

MELANIE BROWN’S HUSBAND BRAWLS TO “DEFEND HER HONOR”

Jovial drinks at the bar of the fancy May Fair Hotel in London ended up in a brawl thanks to Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown’s temperamental husband Stephen Belafonte. Bar patrons said everyone was having a pleasant time (Mel was in the hall talking to friends) when there was an “explosion of violence” and Stephen jumped on another bald guy at the bar and they rolled on the floor cursing, punching, and kicking. Stephen had his sweater ripped off and the other baldie hit his head on a coffee table and was bleeding profusely. Mel watched in horror as three hotel staffers pulled them apart. Stephen begged the photographer to delete the pics he took but when police and paramedics arrived the snapper slipped away. Belafonte claimed the fight started because the other guy made a lewd comment about his wife. Maybe, but Belafonte (not has real name) has a history of violence AGAINST women, not IN DEFENSE of them. He’s been charged with violence against ex girlfriends under his real name, Stansbury. Mel and her questionable husband are in London to promote her new reality series “Mel B: It’s a Scary World.” Too bad TV cameras weren’t around for this incident.

Addiction Booze Charlie Sheen Crimes and Misdemeanors Domestic Violence Drugs Gambling Hookers Sex Addict Two And A Half Men

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.

Angie Everhart Baby Chad Stansbury Domestic Violence

ANGIE EVERHART AND HER BABY’S DADDY CHAD STANSBURY

This sweet photo of Angie Everhart and her adorable almost one year old baby boy Kayden is blurry because it was taken by one of our spies at Burbank airport. What makes this picture more significant is the guy sitting next to Angie who is also looking lovingly at the baby. He’s Chad Stansbury, the actor/boyfriend that Angie had arrested and accused of domestic violence in 2008. The baby was born in 2009, and Angie refused to reveal who the father was and said she intended to raise the baby alone. Many surmised that she was too embarrassed to admit Chad was the father. Looks like they were right, and she and Chad are very much together.

Brooke Mueller Charlie Sheen Crimes and Misdemeanors Domestic Violence Marriage Money

CHARLIE SHEEN: MARRIAGE ON THE ROCKS, OR PATCHED UP?

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Nannies took Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller’s twin boys, Max and Bob, outside to get some fresh air in Aspen. Charlie and Brooke are probably too embarrassed to show THEIR faces in public. Rumors about the Sheen marriage are flying. Brooke’s friends say the marriage has been on the rocks for awhile, but Charlie’s people insist everything is fine. Charlie’s people have been drilling Brooke on what to say and do – they don’t want this incident to affect his career. Money is also being discussed. If Brooke makes this incident go away, we’re thinking she’ll have a nice bank account. It makes us wonder what IS going on behind those closed doors.
