Rosie O’Donnell Accused of Abuse By Estranged Daughter

Posted on May 3, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Back in August of 2015,  Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter Chelsea went missing . The TV personality publicly asked for help in locating the teen, but it was later revealed that Chelsea, who is adopted, had willingly left O’Donnell’s home in order to live with her biological mother . Now 19, Chelsea Belle O’Donnell is speaking out for the first time about like with Rosie – and her comments aren’t doing any wonders for the former View host’s reputation. In a newly-released interview with the Daily Mail, Chelsea paints a harrowing picture of her childhood, claiming that O’Donnell was frequently drunk and often engaged in verbal abuse. In the excerpt that seems to be gaining the most traction on social media, Chelsea reveals that Rosie once threatened to hit her with a wine bottle: “A couple of weeks prior, I had gotten a tattoo,” she tells the tabloid. “[Rosie] had spyware on my phone so she could see pretty much everything I did. She called me into her room and asked me about the tattoo. I denied it. She asked me to take off my clothes — she didn’t know where [the tattoo] was — to show her and I refused.” Chelsea says Rosie became increasingly angry and eventually chased her through the house: “She picked up a wine bottle and started chasing me, trying to take off my clothes,” Chelsea claims. “She told me if I didn’t show her, if I tried to leave, that she would hit me with the wine bottle.” The teen goes on to say that such incidents were not unusual in the O’Donnell household: “Since I was 12, Rosie has been verbally abusive and that was something I didn’t like, making me feel that there was something wrong with me,” Chelsea alleges. She claims she thought about reporting her adoptive mother to the police, but didn’t because of Rosie’s celebrity status: “I didn’t go to the police because of who she is. She would have tried to say I was crazy and they just wouldn’t believe me. I felt it was her word against mine and why wouldn’t they believe her over me?” As for Rosie’s claim that her daughter went missing in 2015, Chelsea says that’s completely bogus, and that O’Donnell had in fact kicked her out: “She knew,” Chelsea tells the Mail. “She was talking to me when I was down [in New Jersey]. She had called the person I was with too. The day after she had kicked me out, she had gotten in contact with that person. As he doesn’t seem to have much else on his plate, you can expect Donald Trump to tweet about the O’Donnell situation in the next hour or so.

Matt Baier: About Those Amber Portwood Abuse Rumors …

Posted on April 20, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Amber Portwood and Matt Baier have never been our favorite Teen Mom couple. After all, with reports that Matt tried to holler at both Farrah Abraham and Jenelle Evans before finally succeeding with Amber, and with that whole thing about him being a deadbeat dad of a still unproven amount of children … Like, why would we ever be into him? But despite the protests of Teen Mom fans everywhere, Amber is still with Matt, and they’re planning on getting married this October . Or at least, that was the plan before all the abuse allegations hit the fan. Earlier this week, some questionable photos of Matt Baier surfaced — photos that showed some pretty nasty injuries that seemed to be from a fight. In one photo, Matt has some bloody cuts on his face, and in another, he has a black eye. Not only that, but the photos were actually screenshots of texts — along with the pictures, Matt wrote messages like “Look what she just did” and “Remember this is the woman who did this!” So the easy assumption would be that these are photos from Matt claiming that Amber abused him, right? After all, Amber has a history of domestic violence , and we saw her viciously attack Gary Shirley more than once. She’s come a long, long way since then, but still, fans have noted that the background in one of Matt’s photos matches a room in Amber’s house, and the glasses he’s wearing are his current ones. As much as we don’t want to believe that Amber, much less 2017 Amber, could do something like this, could it actually be true? According to a statement Matt gave People, absolutely not. “The rumor that’s circulating is both vicious and completely false,” the statement begins. “I can’t stand by and allow the media or anyone else to undermine the progress that Amber has made in turning her life around, or the relationship we’ve worked hard to build together.” “The photo that surfaced is nothing more than the result of some roughhousing amongst my guy friends,” he explains. “I got my butt kicked by a friend, and it was well-deserved, I might add.” “Now someone’s trying to use the pic to paint an untrue picture of our life together.” “Amber would never lay a hand on me,” Matt concludes, “and I can’t wait to marry the love of my life in October.” So there you have it. The photos have nothing to do with Amber, their relationship is lovely and beautiful and all good things, and we’re all dumb for believing otherwise. However, let’s also remember that at one point in this new season of Teen Mom OG, Amber breaks down while trying on wedding dresses , telling a friend “You can love each other and want to be with each other for the rest of your life and still not trust each other.” So hey, even if the abuse rumors aren’t true, maybe still don’t get married? Just a thought.

Exclusive: Mel B: Ex-Stephan Called Me A “Fu****g Monkey” In Front Of Our Kids!!

Posted on April 5, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Former Spice Girl Said She Went Through Hell With Marriage To Convicted Batterer Stephan Belafonte Mel B said her estranged husband Stephan Belafonte was a physically abusive controlling conman who referred to her as a “f**king monkey” and berated her in front of their children. The singer and reality show judge lifted the lid on the nightmare she allegedly endured during her decade long relationship with the producer, father of her daughter Madison, five. In a bombshell declaration, obtained by BOSSIP, the “If You Wanna Be My Lover” singer said Stephan was initially sweet and helpful when they first got together. But after their quickie Las Vegas wedding following two months of dating, Mel B said the beatings, put downs and infidelity began. The singer said her husband conned her from the start, claiming his last name was Belafonte and he was the son of legendary actor and activist Harry Belafonte. But in reality, his last name is Stansbury, and he isn’t related to the real Belafonte. Mel B – born Melanie Brown – said Stephan would call her a “derelict” and a “fu**ing monkey,” failed to get a steady job during their years together, made her support the entire family and controlled every aspect of her career. She said Stephan – who has racked up convictions for burglary, assault, domestic violence, computer crimes and beating a bird to death with a brick – stole millions from her, including $325,000 in child support payments for his first born and $300,000 to his 20-year-old nanny turned mistress, whom he referred to as his “ride or die bi**h,” court papers state. Stephan’s tirades and verbal abuse often occurred in front of the kids, and when Mel B would ask him to calm down or go upstairs, he’d only raise his voice, according to court docs. But Mel B said one of the final straws was when a jealous Stephan inserted himself into a planned meeting between Mel B’s daughter Angel and her estranged father, comedian Eddie Murphy. Mel B said that she’d arranged a meeting between Angel and her dad, but when Stephan got wind of the meet up, he texted Murphy’s assistant at 4:30 a.m. from Mel B’s phone with an unknown message. The assistant later told Mel B that Murphy had to cancel the get together. A judge granted Mel B’s request for a restraining order Monday after she told the courts she was in fear for her and her children’s lives. Stephen denied Mel B’s allegations in an interview with TMZ.

Melanie Brown Accuses Ex-Husband of Abuse, Forced Threesomes and Sex Tape Blackmail

Posted on April 4, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As previously reported, Melanie Brown has filed for divorce from Stephen Belafonte. What prompted the singer and reality show judge to split from her husband of nearly a decade? Some allegedly awful behavior, according to a bombshell new report… Brown’s attorneys were granted a restraining order for their client on Monday, with TMZ having obtained the documents that explain why Mel fears for both her life and the lives of her kids. In her declaration, Mel B tells a truly heinous story of abuse. Among her most sordid and scary allegations against Belafonte: He choked her in November of 2007. It was the night of the Dancing with the Stars finale, Brown asserts, and she was getting ready at home when her then-husband placed both of his hands around her neck and slammed her down on the hardwood floors. Any time she achieved a level of success, Brown alleges, Belafonte would “beat me down to let me know he was in charge.” He punched her in the face in July of 2012. In this detailed incident, Brown says she was a judge on The X Factor when she was leaving to tape a segment with Usher. At this, Belafonte punched his wife a closed fist in the face, splitting open her lip. When she asked how she was supposed to work with the injury, Belafonte supposedly screamed that she should have thought of that before deciding to “flirt with and f-cj Usher.” He punched and shoved her in August of 2012. The day after Brown performed at the closing ceremonies at the London Olympics, Belafonte reportedly punched her again with a closed fist and pushed her down on the carpet. The artist’s face “actually scabbed over the rug burns,” Brown writes, adding that Belafonte then forced her to Tweet that she injured herself by running on 7″ Christian Louboutin heels. He cheated on her with the nanny and got his mistress pregnant. Brown says Stephen told her he wanted to have the baby and “all three of us live together.” She explains that Belafonte eventually demanded the (unnamed) nanny get an abortion. She also claims Stephen paid the nanny in excess of $300,000 of Mel B’s money “for alleged nanny services.” He threatened her life. After Brown downed a bottle of Aspirin in 2014 to deal with “emotional and physical exhaustion,” she tried to call the authorities for help. But she says Belafonte hurled her in the bedroom, locked the door and told her “to die, bitch.” He blackmailed her with sex tapes. Brown says Stephen is in possession sex tapes of her and often threatened to release them to ruin her career. He made her participate in threesomes. Brown added that her soon-to-be ex forced her to “participate in sexual intercourse with him and random women” and he would frequently secretly record the encounters. She says when she attempted to resist these threesome, he’d threaten to release the sex tapes. He made it impossible for her to leave him. Brown says she tried over the years, but Stephen “threatened me with violence and threatened to destroy my life in every possible way … destroy my career and take my kids from me.” He has a gun. It’s either a .38 or .357 magnum and it’s against the law because Belafonte is prohibited from carrying firearms as part of a domestic violence conviction stemming from an incident with another woman years ago. In addition to granted the restraining order in this case, the judge ordered Belafonte to leave the family residence in the Hollywood Hills. He went to the home late Monday afternoon, TMZ reports, packed up most of his belongings, and told a photographer in the vicinity that these allegations are untrue.

Dancing With Death? A Hard Look At Karrueche Obsessed Breezy’s Yayo-Faced Downward Spiral

Posted on March 2, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Chris Brown’s Volatile History With Drug Abuse, Women And Employees Should Have Us All Worried It’s no secret that Christopher Maurice Brown is not the same baby-faced, wholesome kid we fell in love with when “Run It” made him a superstar. At this point, at least two women in his life have allegedly been the victims of domestic violence at his hands. There’s also been quite a few fades , or the threat of fades , with other men. And while we’ve never seen Breezy do drugs, we all know what a crackhead looks like so it makes sense that Billboard just did a pretty eye-opening investigative piece on Brown and his downward spiral over the last several years. The most horrific detail we read was probably about the May 10,2016 alleged incident with Brown’s manager Mike Guirguis, where the magazine details how Guirguis arrived at a rehearsal at Showbiz Studios in Van Nuys, CA, to discuss Brown’s One Hell of a Nite Tour. Putting together details from a lawsuit Guirguis has filed Billboard reports how Brown led him to a private room and said: “We are going to go for 30 seconds” — fight, that is. Guirguis turned away to leave, but, the suit alleges, Brown smashed him in the face with his fist. As he fell backward, Brown punched him three more times in the face, jaw and neck. Guirguis was stunned. He briskly left the studio and took an Uber to an emergency room. He quit that day. “Mike G was and is scared,” the suit reads, “not just for his own safety from Brown and Brown’s gang member friends, but also for the safety of others.” Brown, according to a close creative collaborator at the time, “was ticked off” because Royalty had underperformed compared with his previous albums. (It’s his poorest-selling solo release, having moved just 366,000 copies in the United States.) “He sets himself up in situations where he can’t lose,” says another former core team member from that time. “Like, ‘I am so angry at myself, and I can beat up on [Guirguis] because I’m surrounded by people whom I pay to protect me. I can be the big man.’ And he can get away with it.” Brown was allegedly in a drug-fueled rage at the time. That’s not all though. Hit the flip for more details. WENN

19 Stars Who Have Been Accused of Domestic Violence

Posted on October 12, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Celebrity domestic violence occurs even in the most seemingly-stable relationships. Check out 19 celebrities who were either charged with, or accused of, domestic violence against their partners.   Hollywood violence knows no gender, age, or reason, and some of these allegations are gonna curl your toes. Who dragged his partner with a car? Who beat someone's face in so badly she needed to be hospitalized? Whose own mother and sister accused this superstar, award-winning actor of physical abuse? Things are about to get real deep and dark in here, so we hope you have a flashlight, a blanket, and a box of tissues, because ugh .  Also, hey, can someone remind these asshats that violence is never the answer? That could be pretty helpful, all things considered.  1. Chris Brown Chris Brown was arrested and placed on probation for assaulting his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, who had to be hospitalized — her injuries were that bad. 2. Johnny Depp Depp’s wife, Amber Heard, filed a restraining order — and then divorce papers! — on the grounds that he abused her throughout their marriage. Among other things, Heard alleged that Depp smashed an iPhone into her face, resulting in bruising. 3. Columbus Short Columbus Short of ‘Scandal’ fame reportedly attacked his wife, and then threatened to kill her. And himself. And WTF is wrong with him? 4. Joe Budden Rapper Joe Budden was arrested after reportedly choking his former (pregnant!) girlfriend, as well as intentionally sitting on her stomach. She miscarried shortly after the reported attack. The best part of Budden ran down…never mind. 5. Bobby Brown Bobby Brown was long rumored to have physically — as well as mentally — abused the late Whitney Houston. 6. Sean Penn Penn reportedly — and repeatedly — was accused of assaulting ex-wife, Madonna. In 2015, Madonna came clean about the abuse, saying that Penn “never struck” her. View Slideshow
