Estella Warren was arrested for domestic violence, assault by cleaning fluid

Night 0f 100 Stars Oscar Viewing Party

I’m old enough to remember when Estella Warren was the next big thing. She was like the Kate Upton of 2000-01. She was a model and then she got some movie and TV roles and then… nothing much happened. In 2011, she was arrested for a DUI and go back to this archived story to read about how crazy she acted! She crashed into parked cars, left the scene of the crime, assaulted a police officer and escaped from her cuffs. I seem to remember stories of how she’s pretty messy. Well, it seems that she’s just been arrested again, this time for domestic violence.

Estella Warren was arrested for dousing her boyfriend in cleaning fluid … TMZ has learned. The model/actress was busted early Sunday morning after an argument at her Marina del Rey apartment. Law enforcement sources tell us … during the dispute, Estella grabbed a container of some kind of cleaning solution, and threw it at the guy.

L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies booked Warren for misdemeanor domestic violence. Her bf, btw, is probably going to be okay … we’re told he declined medical treatment on the scene. Warren got out of jail Sunday afternoon after posting $20k bail … which is a better way to get out of custody than her last arrest. We’ve reached out to her reps, but no word back.

[From TMZ]

CB brought up the idea that she was probably cleaning her apartment and she and her boyfriend got into an argument and she just threw whatever was on hand. CB also brought up the fact that this tactic is used by abusers – they will get their victims arrested for fighting back. But my first reaction was “I wonder what kind of cleaning fluid it was” and where she threw it. Like, if someone throws Drano or ammonia at your face, that is absolutely a huge deal and it should be considered felony assault. If you’re just, like, throwing a bottle of Lysol at the wall because you’re so mad? It’s still bad but it’s not as bad. I would be very interested in knowing the details around this.

    She is Canadian, and I recall it was a big deal for her to book the Chanel no 5 ads in Canada.

    Those were my favourite perfume ads, and till this day, the best Chanel ad.

    • FLORC says:

      It’s 1 of the better less fussy ads

      • Dee says:

        A big deal to book a Chanel ad in Canada why?She was preceded by Linda Evangelista , Shalom Harlow, Kristen Owen, Tricia Helfer, Yasmeen Ghauri, and the list goes on.

    • Liz says:

      I love that Chanel Ad. She looks beautiful in it, seriously, why didn’t she have a bigger career?

      • sarah says:

        Since she seems to be having continuous problems with booze, maybe that was a problem even back then. And yes, she is/was very beautiful. Very sad.

  2. Narak says:

    Maybe his idea of helping was lifting his feet while she vacuumed or washed the floor and she lost it.

  3. cine says:

    There’s been an uptick in these kinds of attacks using cleaning fluids. They’re starting to brainstorm ideas as to how to reduce the frequency/make it harder to do this kind of attack, and one of the ideas was to make the fluid much thicker and more difficult to throw.

    Unrelated point: I thought this was Amber Heard when the front page loaded up.

  4. Lizzie says:

    Domestic dispute aside that is always my plan if I’m cornered in my bedroom by a burglar. Go into the mater bath and spray kaboom in their eyes so I can get away.

  5. Mia4s says:

    She had her moment just around the time I was starting to follow celeb gossip. She was in that Wahlberg Planet of the Apes. It was bad, she was bad…that was about it. I just went and checked her IMDB…well…she’s worked…a bit.

    There’s a whole subsection of these actors who get a sniff of the A list and then just drop farther than far. I don’t mean moving to a starring role on a good TV series or doing great independent film (that’s success): I mean they just drop to the Z list. Couple that disappointment with substance abuse issues and I’m not surprised at how bad it can get.

    • hunter says:

      Woah, do you think substance abuse may have caused that wonk-eye? Because I don’t remember her having THAT.

  6. FLORC says:

    If she’s been sort of unhinged before I suspect he’s not completely together. And assault by cleaning fluid… idk… I would think if it was bleach or ammonia it would be classified as more of a chemical assault and strong chargers would be brought. But, this? Sounds like she took some 7th generation or method all purpose cleaner and spritzed it in his general direction. Possibly as whatever was handy if he was aggressive at her.

  7. cindy says:

    She sounds lovely.

  8. tifzlan says:

    Wow, you weren’t kidding when you said she was the Kate Upton of the early millennium. I googled her coz i have no idea who she is and i did a double take seeing some of her “younger” pics because i thought it was Kate Upton.

  9. jinni says:

    I love how people are already minimizing what she did and make him out to be the villain. Why should it matter what chemical she threw at him. Is it so hard to believe that men can be victims of DV from female abusers? This is why men who are abuse say nothing? This is why female abusers with male victims get off because people do not see them as predators but as poor emotionally messed up women that just made a mistake. This is gross.

    • Jay (the Canadian one) says:

      Agreed. I read the article three times trying to find the part I missed that supposedly indicated it was self defence. Isn’t “she/he probably brought it on herself/himself” normally reviled as a horrible assumption?

      Not saying the “abuser calling the police on the abused” doesn’t happen. My dad did that to my mom a couple times. But I would also resent someone claiming without a shred of evidence that my dad did what he did because my mom somehow provoked him.

    • JaneFr says:

      +1

      and yes, Kaiser, I’m right with you, I would also be very interested in knowing the details around this before deciding that she is the victim.

  10. Embee says:

    Her face looks like she’s using pretty hard. I hope this is the wake-up call she takes to get herself together.

  11. detritus says:

    I don’t want to assume anything, and women can also be abusers.
    I’d like to hear more about this story, because CB is right. Abusers often turn the story, so the victim feels equally at fault for fighting back.

  12. FLORC says:

    It was brought up as a possibility. And a valid 1. It does seem odd the wording. And common sense doesn’t really support this man just existed in relative proximity while she opened and doused him in cleaning solution. Also, it is worth mentioning how the victim in many domestic abuse cases will be arrested while defending themselves.

    Comment gone. Oh well

    • loveotterly says:

      That’s what I was thinking. The headlines make it seem like she dumped bleach over his head but it sounds like she just chucked a closed bottle of something in his general direction. I know it’s not right but who hasn’t thrown something during a fight at some point? Seems kind of over the top that he would call the cops.

      • Ryan Lochte's speedo says:

        It’s called Assault (and/or) Battery.

        It does not matter what was thrown at another person. The mere fact that there was malicious intent.

        Case in point: An employee was recently terminated after he maliciously threw a cup of 20 oz soda on my back. Then lobbed another one at my head. When I turned around to face him, he threw the cup at my face.

        And all of this happened in front of my colleagues and all of our customers in queue. Three of them actually had filmed the incident.

        He then tried to claim that I chucked something at him but our kitchen camera disproved his narrative.

      • Ange says:

        Ummm lots of us manage to argue without throwing something, what the hell?

  13. minx says:

    I remember when she started out and she was the new hot young thing. I think some guy left his wife for her? She needs to ditch the bleached blonde hair.

  14. chaine says:

    I always get her mixed up with Diane Kruger.

  15. QQ says:

    *files nails* *puts pointy nail thoughtfully on my chin* Hm … So The crowd quickly turned on Mel B But Here we’re gonna assume….????????? I see (P.S.: I thought it was Tara Reid)

    • Ashley.Nate says:

      Those poor innocent white womenz

    • Miffy says:

      THANK YOU!!!!
      Yup, not only was the wrong person arrested but it was actually the victim’s fault… Uh huh.
      NOW I’m done, thanks QQ, I always loved reading your comments.

    • Patty says:

      Exactly. My earlier comment disappeared but I find it shocking that so many are implying that she must have been acting in self defense.

      I don’t think anyone would be laughing if the guy had been accused of throwing cleaning solution in her face.

  16. YepIsaidit says:

    LoL at blaming the boyfriend for her abuse. She was probably wasted drunk and that was the first thing she grabbed in the kitchen?

    She looks so different in that top photo or I just never noticed she had a bad nose job 🙄

  17. Margo S. says:

    Lmao. I just pictured myself in the same situation. Cleaning my bathroom with my Lysol Toilet bowl cleaner, my husband pissing me off, and me pouring it on him then throwing the empty bottle at him…. then him being like, “im calling the cops!” LOL.

    • Ryan Lochte's speedo says:

      Domestic assault is what you would be charged with regardless of the situation before hand that prompted you to aggressively act the way you did.

      Police will only look for visible signs of battery, regardless of whom started the physical row.

      Be smart.

      Always portray yourself as victim and never fight back in this sort of situation. It will help you to get documented as well as sympathy.

  18. Liz says:

    Anyone remember how its rumored she lies about her age? When she got arrested in 2011, it came out by accidentally that she is born in in 1969 or 1970, not 1979.
    If you told me that woman was around 47-48, I would believe it.

    • Spiderpigg says:

      Iirc that was confirmed as a typo on the booking sheet. She was born in 78. She was heavily involved in competitive sports in high school which were covered in the national press, so she can’t be ten years older than she’s claiming unless she was somehow able to be enrolled in high school and passing herself off as a teen at the age of 27.

  19. Delta Juliet says:

    I had to google Estella because the face on here was not the one I remembered belonging to that name. Wow…..has she changed!

  20. Ashley.Nate says:

    WTF did she do to her nose? It looks really bony and collapsed now. Probably all that coke and some rhinoplasty

  21. Ugh. says:

    Women are capable of being the abusers and being abused. I really can’t take how quickly this site jumps to make women out to be these defenseless creatures when we’re not. We don’t even know the whole story, and yet the conclusion was already made that she is the victim. That is just as bad blaming the victim, like in the instances of Heard & Mel B.

  22. Stephanie says:

    I can’t get passed the fact that she is still alive after that DUI. White privilege man…. Had she been Black, they’d have shot her before she even stopped the car.

  23. Elgin Marbles says:

    I may not be remembering this correctly but wasn’t she at the center of Peter Berg’s divorce back when she did Planet of the Apes? I also think she was at the third wheel in the Paul Thomas Anderson breakup w/Fiona Apple. Not that the guys in question weren’t complete jerks but it’s always wise to avoid banging other people’s husbands and boyfriends.
