Details of Eddie Murphy & Tracey Edmonds’ wedding debacle

We’ve heard plenty of embarrassing stories about what went down in the bizarre pseudo-wedding ceremony between Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds. There have been several reports that their families bickered like crazy. The stories ranged from everything from their mothers going at each other to their kids bickering fiercely. According to the National Enquirer, Tracey and her family all thought they were better than the Murphy’s, and Tracey accused the entire family of being “too ghetto.”

“The families hated each other from the beginning,” a close family friend told The Enquirer. “There were actual screaming matches between relatives.” And it didn’t take long before both Eddie and Tracey were knee-deep in the fray. “Eddie told Tracey that she and her family should stop with the superior attitude, and she fired back criticizing his kin for being too ‘ghetto,’” continued the friend. “Eddie bit his lip thought the entire ceremony - he was steaming about the low blow.

[From the National Enquirer, print edition Feb. 4, 2008]

The Enquirer also says the real problem was Tracey’s money-grubbing family.

“The entire wedding was a fiasco, and it brought to light just how incompatible Tracey and Eddie really are.” Things went from bad to worse after the ceremony, when Tracey and her family members seemed more interested in striking business deals than the wedding, says an insider. “Her mother was pressuring Eddie to buy a new multimillion-dollar Malibu mansion with her as the Realtor - so she’d get the whopping commission. “Then her brother, who’s [sic] a rep for a watch company, put on a full-court press to get Eddie to serve as spokesman for his line.”

[From the National Enquirer, print edition Feb. 4, 2008]

Apparently the biggest problem was Tracey’s brother Michael. According to the anonymous insider, Michael brokered some deal with Jimmy Choo that required getting a bunch of pictures of the bridesmaids in Choo’s shoes, and Michael turned into a bit of a diva in his attempt to make sure the Choos got enough photos.

“Everyone in Tracey’s family, including Tracey, seemed to be trying to work a deal around the wedding and Eddie’s celebrity. And he saw greed instead of love,” said the insider, and eyewitness. “Tracey’s brother Michael was by far the worst of the group. He’d obviously cut a bunch of deals on the side. For instance, the bridesmaids were a walking advertisement for Jimmy Choo shoes. Michael was ordering the wedding photographer to make sure he got all the trademark clothing in the shots. And he was coaching the guests on how to pose in photos. Michael was saying: ‘The Choos! Remember to get the Jimmy Choos in the pictures or else we won’t get our free shopping spree!’” That was the final straw for Eddie.

[From the National Enquirer, print edition Feb. 4, 2008]

That sounds like a pretty contrived quote. “Remember to get the Jimmy Choos in the pictures or else we won’t get our free shopping spree!’” Who talks like that? I’m going to assume it’s paraphrased. Unless Michael was saying it in jest. Seriously, if that’s true it’s super tacky. The story is pretty biased towards Eddie Murphy, so it should all be taken with a gain of salt. Murphy has long been reported to be a domineering control freak, so I find it kind of hard to believe that he’s the innocent victim in all this. It sounds like he and Tracey were definitely a bad match. In the scheme of things, it sounds like they really narrowly avoided a big disaster. How much closer can you get than marrying the wrong person but not making it legal? According to E! News, Tracey’s been all over Sundance having a wonderful time. So it looks like everyone managed to escape unscathed.

Eddie Murphy and Tracey’s moms fought at wedding; guests demand refunds

sgg-025673.jpg
Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds broke up just two weeks after their non-legally binding wedding ceremony in Bora Bora. People Magazine quotes a source as saying that Eddie was chewing Tracey out at their wedding in front of guests and that it was embarrassing for everyone to witness.

Not only were Eddie and Tracey not getting along after their expensive non-nuptuals, their mothers were fighting too. Eddie and Tracey’s family are said to have “hated each other on sight,” and their mothers supposedly refused to sit next to each other. They were even seen yelling and swearing at each other, each thinking the other’s offspring wasn’t good enough for their family:

Eddie, 46, and Tracey, 40, invited only family members and a few close friends to celebrate their union, “but it was as if their families hated each other on sight…”

Eddie’s mother felt Tracey was a “gold digger,” says the friend - and Tracey’s mother felt Eddie wasn’t “good enough” for her daughter.

“The mothers didn’t even want to sit next to each other - even to eat - and it led to both sides of the family squaring off.”

According to the source, the situation escalated from an uneasy tension to outright confrontation that included “yelling and cussing.”

And this was even before Eddie and Tracey took their vows!

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, January 28, 2008]

The Enquirer adds the gem that Eddie almost backed out of the wedding right before the ceremony and that he “pulled aside his best friend Johnny Gill in a panic and asked him if he was doing the right thing.” It looks like Eddie never really got over those cold feet, or maybe he listened to his momma. Eddie Murphy’s mom is said to live with him in his LA mansion and his breakup with the mother of his youngest child, Mel B, is partially attributed to her inability to get along with his live-in mother. It looks like Tracey dodged a bullet on that one. Maybe Eddie can ask his mommy to set him up next time so he’s sure to pick a woman she approves of.

Mike Walker’s column in the latest Enquirer states that guests at Murphy’s ceremony feel duped into thinking they were attending an actual wedding and asked the Norbit star to refund their vacation costs. Murphy said he would pay guests for their travel costs, which added up to over 100k.

Eddie and Tracey are shown on 12/11/06 at the Dreamgirls premiere, thanks to PRPhotos.

Fabio says Clooney called woman “fat cow,” ran away in fear and has “no class”


Fabio has volunteered more details of his restaurant encounter with George Clooney that almost escalated into fisticuffs, and since he’s doing the telling Clooney comes off as a royal ass. He says that Clooney was wasted and that he called the woman that he thought was taking pictures of him that night at “fat cow,” which is why Fabio jumped to her defense. Fabio says he was having a charity dinner and that the woman Clooney suspected of taking his picture didn’t even recognize the former ER star. He also doesn’t hasten to add how much bigger he is than Clooney and repeats his publicists’ claim that he could have kicked his ass if he wanted to.

I assumed that management stepped in and separated the two, but Fabio says that George ran out of the restaurant like a scared little girl!

“I was doing a charity for the 11-99 Foundation, which benefits the widows and children of officers killed in the line of duty,” says Fabio of the infamous Nov. 2 dinner at Madeo. “I had dinner with six women and a photographer woman and we were just having fun, having dinner and taking pictures. All of a sudden one of the ladies said to me, ‘There is this gentleman a few tables behind you that keeps insulting me, keeps giving me the finger.’ She’s like, ‘This gentleman behind you called me a fat cow.’”

“So I turn and it was him,” Fabio says of Clooney. “He was drunk and thought people were taking pictures of him. So I went to the table and explained to him that we were having a charity dinner and I said, ‘You’re more than welcome to come to my table and see if there was a picture of you.’ I apologized and he started being rude so I put him in his place. After I put him in his place — you know I’m three times his size — he got a little scared. I went back to my table and as soon as I sit down he paid his bill, got up and he started insulting the girls. He called the women names. At that point I lost my temper. I went after him and he ran out of the restaurant.”

“He has no class,” Fabio tells OK!. “You have to be a low-class, scumbag to start calling a woman a name. If you’re a man, you should never. You should be a gentleman. These women were with me and as a man I defend them. He was lucky he ran out of the restaurant. He’s not even half a man.”

[From OK! Magazine]

You guys were ripping on me when I said that Fabio looks hotter than aging Clooney, but I stand by my somewhat-questionable assessment, especially in light of Fabio’s diss to George in his latest comments. I know he only stands to help his failing career, but that’s cool that he’s being so open and obnoxious about it. Maybe it did go down that way, but I suspect the woman either actually was taking picture of Clooney, or he legitimately suspected her of it, since she was a professional photographer and probably had some high-end equipment.

Still, it’s incredibly mean and not that creative to call someone a “fat cow,” when there are so many other put-downs that would do. I imagine George running out of the restaurant waving his hands and screaming as a stoic Fabio stands there, looking smug, but he probably just paid the check and left, not wanting to deal with the situation. Clooney is likely never to comment on this, but I hope it turns into a back and forth PR war, with Clooney issuing his own snotty statement to counter Fabio’s. Then we’ll have something to whisper about on the rare occasion they show up at the same event, glaring at each other from across the room like Maggie from the Simpsons and that baby with the unibrow.

George Clooney and Fabio in pushing match


George Clooney was out to dinner with his new cocktail waitress girlfriend and Fear Factor winner, Sarah Larson, in L.A. last Friday. 48 year Italian model Fabio was at the next table with a group of women, and one of them started taking pictures. Clooney got all upset thinking they were taking pictures of him, and Fabio told him not to be a diva. The two started arguing, then Clooney got up, said the F word and started pushing Fabio. Since Fabio is 6′3″ tall and Clooney is 5′11″ it could have ended badly for George:

According to numerous eyewitnesses, Clooney, assuming the woman was taking snaps of him, asked her to stop - prompting Fabio to explain that the shots were of his group, not Clooney, and to tell the superstar, “Stop being a diva.” Clooney started arguing back, and he and Fabio then got into a shoving match. “The waiters broke it up before it got out of hand,” a witness told In Touch. Clooney then paid his check and left before finishing his meal. According to another In Touch witness, Ron Marotto, “George looked annoyed when Fabio went to his table. George stood up, dropped the F-bomb and then went to push him . . . George was drinking . . . He wasn’t drunk, but he certainly wasn’t stone sober, either.” Fabio’s manager told the magazine, “George is lucky he didn’t end up in the ER.” Clooney’s rep declined to comment to Page Six.

[From PageSix via WeSmirch]

I love how Fabio’s rep says Clooney could have ended up in the ER, har har. In Touch sheds more light onto why Clooney may have been suspicious of the woman taking pictures - she was a professional photographer and Clooney probably recognized her high end equipment. Fabio is also an AV enthusiast, and Wikipedia quotes him as telling Stuff Magazine this year that he’s into gadgets.

As for Fabio’s career, he hasn’t really become the action hero he was hoping and has had to settle for dabbling in different fields. He was wildly successful with a line of women’s outerwear he designed for Sam’s Clubs in 2003, and has done plenty of TV talkshow and magazine interviews. Maybe this amusing fight with Clooney will help raise his profile a bit. Fabio certainly comes off as the less aggressive party in reports of the incident.

Fabio is shown on 9/4/07, thanks to WENN. Clooney is shown on 10/31/07 filming Burn After Reading, thanks to Splash News. 48 year-old Fabio still looks hot to me. Clooney is 46, and although he’s at a disadvantage in this photo because he’s sporting that beard and outfit for a role, I have to declare Fabio the winner in the looks department.

Pierce Brosnan will kick your ass if you superficially compliment him

top-jtm-023953.jpg

Pierce Brosnan never really struck me as one of those actors that would knee you in the crotch if you asked him for an autograph – but then again I’ve never seen a single James Bond movie so I probably just don’t know better. You just closed this story and blocked this site, didn’t you? Just because I don’t know 007? I know the reference, does that help? No? Well I’m writing this while drinking my fifth martini of the morning, if that helps for anything.

It seems like a lot of otherwise fairly nice-seeming celebrities are going a little berserk on the paparazzi lately – and I can’t really blame them. It seems like the paps have really taken the stalking up a notch in the last few years. I can understand that it must be incredibly frustrating to go to dinner with your kid and have 20 people following you and flashing bright lights in your face. Though to be fair, I don’t think Pierce Brosnan gets the Whitney Bears treatment. It’s not like his career is floundering, but I’d say if one or two guys are still following you, buy them a steak. But Brosnan is a little more “punch them in the ribs” than that.

Apparently, Pierce Brosnan likes his shutterbugs shaken and stirred. The erstwhile James Bond is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for purportedly popping a paparazzo last Friday outside a trendy Malibu eatery.

“[Brosnan] is alleged to have committed a battery against a male adult,” said Sheriff’s Dept. spokesman Steve Whitmore. “We’re investigating it, and we’ve taken a report which we’ll refer to the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office for review.” He refused to release further details.

According to TMZ, the photographer in question, Robert Rosen of Ability Films, was reportedly tailing Brosnan and his young son when the incident occurred at about 6:15 p.m. near the entrance to the Casa Escobar Mexican restaurant.

The Website claims the cameraman approached the 54-year-old actor and complimented him on his Bond roles, prompting a tart reply from Brosnan. Eyewitnesses tell TMZ that Brosnan stopped short of using his license to kill, instead allegedly punching Rosen in the ribs. The photographer retaliated with a kick to Brosnan’s stomach before fleeing the scene, the witnesses claim.

[From E! News]

I wonder what this so-called “tart reply” was. Brosnan is British, so the tart reply may literally have been a comment about tarts. I’m guessing apple, but he could have been talking about cherry tarts too. Either way, nothing makes a British man madder than someone insulting tarts. Baked goods must be protected at all costs, and Brosnan would have been less than a man if he didn’t punch the photog in the ribs over it. Yes I know I missed the point. But I’m pretty sure getting punched in the ribs over a tart is about as stupid as getting punched in the ribs over a compliment. So I’m going with the tart on this one.

Kid Rock is the one who threw the first punch in the Waffle House brawl

aag-001295.jpg
When the story came out about Kid Rock getting caught up in a fight between members of his entourage and a guy harassing them at a Waffle House in Atlanta, it sounded like he was just at the wrong place with the wrong people at the wrong time or something. Despite Rock’s history of being an abusive bully who is all too willing to come to blows over any perceived argument, I honestly thought he wasn’t that involved in the fight. It turns out that I was wrong, according to at least one witness who says that Rock started the fight when a guy annoyed him off by talking smack to a woman he was with. Just like with Tommy Lee at the VMAs, it was Rock who threw the first punch:

After a performance at a club called The Tabernacle, Kid and his buddies strolled into the breakfast eatery in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood at 5 a.m. on Oct. 21, when restaurant patron Harlen DeJon Akins made a comment to a female member of the group.

Kid, 36, argued with Akins, 39, and before long the rocker was throwing punches. But Kid was on the losing end of the brawl - and he would have been pummeled if his buddies hadn’t jumped in to save him, say eyewitnesses.

“Kid started the whole thing,” one witness told The Enquirer. “He threw the first punch and kept swinging, but Akins was whipping him bad until Rock’s buddies piled in.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, November 5, 2007]

It sounded like the witness may have been biased toward the other side, though, as they are quoted as saying that he was a “wussy” and “a little punk” and that “if his buddies hadn’t saved him, Akins would have wiped the floor with him.”

It’s true that Rock did start the fight, no matter how biased the Enquirer’s source may be. They say that a police spokeswoman confirmed that Rock threw the first punch. The guy Rock was fighting with may be charged with second degree criminal damage, which is a felony, for breaking the window of the restaurant during the fight.

Meanwhile Kid Rock has caught a break for his fight with Tommy Lee at the VMAs. Cops have decided not to charge him with battery, and Tommy Lee may have had something to do with it. He requested that no charges were brought against Rock. TMZ notes that he could still be charged with misdemeanor battery for the Waffle House beat-down.

Kid Rock is shown performing on 10/18/07. Thanks to PRPhotos.

Diddy claims ‘I Don’t Fight Over Girls!’

top-bottom-wenn1572843.jpg

Sean “Puffy” Combs got into a “physical altercation” (that’s PR fancy speak for a fight) with an old friend on October 13. Though it was widely reported at the time that the fight was over a girl (who wasn’t present) Puffy is now denying that claim. He’s saying it was just a fight – and he’s human, so he’s bound to get into them, and can he really help it? No. Apparently normal people get into fights all the time. According to Puffy. To be fair, we probably do, we just don’t punch people out in fancy NYC nightclubs. Or maybe that’s me.

Sean “Diddy” Combs wants to set the record straight on claims he assaulted a man at a New York City nightclub earlier this month. “It was something that was just totally overblown … I don’t fight over girls!” Combs said Wednesday, referring to a altercation Oct. 13 in a downtown Manhattan club, where Steven Acevedo, 31, accused Combs, 37, of punching him twice in the face. “I got into an argument, I am a human being. I am going to get into an argument,” Combs told Access Hollywood. “I am making no denial about that, but I did not punch anybody.”

Earlier this month, a source told PEOPLE that Combs and Acevedo have known each other for more than 10 years, and said reports that the disagreement was over a woman were not true. “I’m staying focused on being a role model and you know, being somebody that all my grandmas and aunties out there can be proud of and tell their kids to look up to you, know what I’m saying,” he added. “I mean it is a part of celebrity … but it just wasn’t true.”

[From People]

So his argument is that it’s not a big deal because he doesn’t get into fights over girls? I mean that’s a good thing and all, but to me the issue is that you knocked out another guy. Who you’d known for 10 years. That doesn’t exactly reek of classiness my friend.

Puff Doodle was on “The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch” last night, and came off as remarkably humble. I’m pretty sure it’s because he’s a good businessman and in show business, so he knows how to act. He’s never struck me that way before. He seemed relatively mild and soft-spoken. I was almost suckered in… and then he actually reached through the television and sucker punched me in the face. That’s when I remembered the golden rule: never trust Puffy not to punch you.

Kelly Slater and Bar Rafaeli in scuffle with photographers in Israel


In case you were wondering if Leonardo DiCaprio and Israeli model Bar Rafaeli were still together after a rumored breakup and reconciliation, we may have our answer. Everyone’s favorite rebound eye candy, surfer Kelly Slater, got into a scuffle with photographers in Israel while out with Rafaeli. The scene sounds eerily similar to a fight in March between Leonardo DiCaprio’s bodyguards and Israeli paparazzi, who were trying to get photos of the famous couple at the West Wall.

Ironically, Slater was in Israel as part of the group “Surfing for Peace,” which promotes peace between Israelis and Palestinians through surfing:

Police detained eight-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater early Saturday after a scuffle with photographers who were trying to take pictures of him with an Israeli supermodel, police said.

Israeli photographers were waiting outside as the American surfer and model Bar Rafaeli left a hotel in the Tel Aviv suburb of Herzliya before dawn Saturday, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

Slater pushed the cameramen in an effort to prevent them from taking pictures, a photographer at the scene told Channel Two TV.

“A brawl broke out and Slater was taken for questioning and later released,” Rosenfeld said.

It was not the first time foreign guests of Rafaeli have scuffled with journalists. Earlier this year, Rafaeli and her then-boyfriend, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, created a media storm when he visited her in Israel…

Slater, who is of Syrian descent, was visiting Israel for the first time as part of efforts by the group “Surfing for Peace” to promote reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians through the sport.

[From Yahoo! Sports via ONTD]

35 year-old Kelly Slater has consoled many hot famous women after high-profile breakups with celebrities, including Pamela Anderson, Cameron Diaz, and DiCaprio’s other ex, Gisele Bundchen. Slater is “the most successful professional surfer in the the history of the sport,” according to Wikipedia. If anyone can bring peace to the Middle East while boning Leonardo DiCaprio’s model ex, it’s Slater. He’s not going to let a little scuffle with photographers keep him from his important mission.

Bar Rafaeli was widely quoted a couple of weeks ago saying she wasn’t about to serve in the Israeli army, as is compulsory for 18 year-old men and unmarried women in the country, and that she doesn’t regret it. She supposedly said “I am not sorry for not serving in the army, because I profited in a big way… Why is it good to die for one’s country? Isn’t it better to live in New York?”

Rafaeli denies making those statements and is suing Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth for reporting those quotes. Her lawyer says the paper slandered Rafaeli and encouraged a “public lynching” of her.

Kelly Slater is shown at the premiere of Surfs Up on 6/2/07 thanks to PRPhotos. Bar Rafaeli is shown on 10/17/07 on the catwalk for Selmark Lingerie Spring-Summer 2008, thanks to Splash News.

Kid Rock Arrested In Waffle House Brawl


Yes, a Waffle House brawl in Atlanta landed him behind bars for a few hours. If it was anyone other than Kid Rock I wouldn’t buy it. Police have revealed that Kid, a.k.a Robert Ritchie, made a pit stop at the Waffle House on Buford Highway in the wee hours of the morning after a performance. With his entourage surrounding him as he enjoyed his breakfast, another male patron of the restaurant “exchanged words” with a female member of the group that ignited a disagreement that spilled into the parking lot and morphed into a physical fight. The reported crazy-making left one person, believed to be the instigator Harlen Akins, treated at a local hospital for cuts and bruises. Kid Rock and 5 of his fellow Waffle House brawlers were taken into police custody after his tour bus was pulled over. He can now add a misdemeanor charge of simple battery to his resume. But don’t cry for Kid Rock. He was out of DeKalb County Jail around 5 p.m. Sunday. He was even up to signing autographs on his way out.

Fox 5 News has learned that musician Kid Rock was arrested in Atlanta overnight in connection with a brawl at a Waffle House in DeKalb County Police tell us the singer, also known as Robert Ritchie, stopped at the restaurant at 5:15 this morning after performing at The Tabernacle.

A male customer recorgnized [sic] a woman in Kid Rock’s entourage, and police say that customer and the woman had words. That escalated into an argument, then a phjysical [sic] fight in the parking lot of the Waffle House, located on Buford Highway. Police were summoned, and Kid Rock’s tour bus was pulled over a short time later.

He and five members of his entourage were taken into custody on a misdemeanor charge of simple battery. The customer, who police identify as Harlen Akins, has been charged with one felony count of second degree criminal damage to property for allegedly smashing a window at the restaurant.

He was taken to Northside Hospital and treated for cuts, bruises and lacerations. No member of Kid Rock’s entourage was hospitalized. Kid Rock bonded out and left the DeKalb County jail just after 5.pm. Sunday, signing autographs as he made his way to the tour bus.

[From My Fox Atlanta]

Note by Celebitchy: Kid Rock is no stranger to fisticuffs. He famously got into an altercation with Tommy Lee at the VMAs this year, saying that he “had it coming” after harassing him over his divorce with their mutual ex, Pamela Anderson. Tommy Lee said he was minding his business and that Rock up and punched him on the cheek at the VMAs. He said he was about to put the smack down on him for the unprovoked attack when bodyguards separated the two. “This is what people do when they have shitty albums and their careers are going down the drain,” Lee added.

Rock was also arrested in February, 2005 for punching a DJ in a strip club after they got into an argument over the music he was playing. Rock pled no contest to misdemeanor assault and the DJ is suing him for a million dollars.

I can’t wait to hear Kid Rock’s side of this latest fight, told with his typical bravado and attention to detail. If he has any sense he’ll avoid talking to the press and will issue a carefully worded statement about what happened, saying that he’s grateful no one was seriously injured. It’s Kid Rock, though, so you know he’ll talk a lot of smack about the guy and we’ll get a colorful account of how he and his friends were innocent victims despite the fact that it was the other guy who was hurt.

Puffy will fight you - we don’t ever really know why though

top-wenn1572840.jpg

Trouble and P Diddy go together like peanut butter and chocolate. It seems like every other day he’s getting sued for beating someone up, fathering a random child, or screwing someone in a business deal. If nothing else, I think it’s well acknowledged that Diddy has a pretty big ego that he has a hard time checking. Puffy supposedly got into a fight with a guy at Kiosk nightclub in Manhattan. Around 3:30 in the morning on Saturday, Diddy argued with a man named Steven Acevedo over an unidentified woman who wasn’t even at the club. Apparently the two had both dated her, and for some reason there’s some bad blood between them as a result. MTV news phrased the fight as an “intense discussion” that eventually escalated when Puffy “aggressively marched” over to Acevedo’s table, at which point he punched the guy twice in the face, resulting in a bloody nose and broken lip.

“Shortly after the New York Police Department confirmed that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was the subject of an investigation into an alleged assault at a SoHo club Saturday night, the rap mogul came forward to portray the incident as nothing more than a mild dustup between friends. ‘What is being reported in the media is inaccurate,’ Diddy’s attorney, Benjamin Brafman, said of reports that his client was due to surrender at precinct house Tuesday morning.

“‘Mr. Combs is not going to be arrested today. We are hopeful that this matter will be resolved without the filing of any criminal charges, as this was a disagreement among acquaintances, not a criminal assault.’ The Post says that one of Diddy’s ever-present bodyguards stepped between the men to prevent any further fisticuffs. Acevedo, 31, reportedly suffered a bloody nose and fat lip, per the newspaper.

“Police are reportedly trying to determine whether the club, which is a store by day, has any security footage of the fracas. While no charges have yet been filed, should the allegations pan out, Diddy could be facing a misdemeanor charge of third-degree assault.”

[From E! News]

Yeah I’m sure it’s erroneous reporting and Diddy is just a poor, helpless victim like always. He just seems like that defenseless puppy that’s always getting kicked, don’t you think? That must be the real reason he has all the bodyguards. Not, you know, to beat other people up or join him in brawls or anything. How old is this guy? He’s acting like he’s in junior high, but he’s 38. Way to show some class dude. He strikes me as one of those people you don’t even hope will get better or learn to control his anger, because he’s got so much money that he can always get out of whatever trouble he gets into. So instead I’ll just suggest you get a really great lawyer. And a paid whipping boy. At least that way someone’s getting a little something for their trouble. Though I’m guessing Steven Acevedo will too.
