Mickey Rooney was granted a temporary restraining order against his stepson on Tuesday after accusing him of withholding food and medicine, the Associated Press reported.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Reva Goetz granted the stay-away order after Rooney’s attorneys told the court the actor lived in fear of his stepson, Chris Aber. Aber is required to stay 100 yards away from the Academy Award-nominated actor and isn’t allowed to contact him until the next hearing, scheduled for February 24th.
“Chris is verbally abusive toward Mickey,” the official court filing states. “He yells and screams at Mickey. He threatens, intimidates, bullies, and harasses Mickey. Mickey is effectively a prisoner in his own home.”
In addition to the restraining order, Rooney’s attorneys also obtained temporary conservatorship over his financial assets.
“All I want to do is live a peaceful life, to regain my life and be happy,” Rooney said in a released statement. “I pray to God each day to protect us, help us endure, and guide those other senior citizens who are also suffering.”
The 90-year-old actor has received four Academy Award nominations and an honorary Oscar.
Jesse James appeared on ABC’s Nightline last night and he claims that he was abused as a child which is part of the reason he ended up cheating on Sandra Bullock.
Jesse claims that being abused by his father as a child left him with abandonment issues which resulted him cheating on his wife because he was ashamed of his abuse. He says that this is another reason he went to seek help in rehab, not just for his cheating on Bullock.
On his dad’s abuse: “I was a terrorized kid, I was petrified of my dad … It wasn’t so much getting the sh– beat out of me or getting my arm broken or getting kicked or whatever or punched, it was the in-between time. It was the fear of that happening again. I grew up with a huge amount of shame and fear and abandonment on my shoulders from a very young age, and I think, you know, the way my mind rationalized [cheating], ‘Well, you know, I might as well do whatever I can to like run her off, ’cause she is going to find out what I am anyway and leave me anyway.’ The struggle within myself for the things that I did … to damage marriage and my life and everything else, it’s all me. I’m doing it because, you know, I’ve basically never felt good enough for anyone.”
On his sex addiction: “I don’t think I have a sex addiction where I’m running around trying to have sex with everyone and I can’t stop. I think I do things to sabotage myself, including having extramarital affairs, texting, over-working myself, injuring myself, doing stunts and stupid things. I do a lot of things in my life that I shouldn’t be doing that aren’t conducive to being a good husband. The affair is just one of them.â€
His father, Larry James, flat out denies these allegations. As does his former stepmother, Janina James Coan, who says that she was appalled by Jesse making these claims. Janina was involved with Jesse’s father since he was 6 but they later divorced, she says the reason he had broken bones is because of his motor-crossing. She also said his father was a lovely person and never did anything to hurt him.
She then says they had a fallen out when he was 16 because his dad found out that Jesse and a friend robbed a Fotomat, his dad then called the cops on him which resulted in Jesse ending up in juvie. But again she denies that his dad abused him.
If Jesse James is making these accusations up then he is even more of a pig than I thought, these aren’t the sort of things you just throw around. If he is telling the truth then it still doesn’t excuse his cheating on Sandra Bullock. Now that he’s given his side of the story he should just fade out of the limelight, but I doubt he is going to let that happen.
The women of Desperate Housewives have released a joint statement in regards to Nicollette Sheridan‘s recent allegations that series creator Marc Cherry smacked her over the head and then fired her for wanting to report him to ABC Executives, and guess what they are standing right by him.
Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, Teri Hatcher and Marcia Cross issued the statement last night announcing that they are standing by their paycheck boss and say the set is a very happy environment.
“It would be irresponsible of us to let the public believe that being a part of this show from its inception has been anything but a blessing. We have no first-hand knowledge of what Nicolette may or may not have experienced, but we would never characterize our set as a hostile environment. It is, in fact, the opposite. The friendships and support that Marc Cherry, the cast, the crew and the producers have shared for the past six years have made this a wonderful job that we are grateful for every day.â€
Teri decided being a part of just one statement wasn’t enough because she then issued her own statement, probably because Nicollette singled her out and said that Marc also abused her. Here is what she had to say:
“While my adoration and respect for the classic and dynamic chemistry of the characters of Susan and Edie is indelible, I’m honored to stand with Eva, Felicity and Marcia, as a group and clarify that our set environment is nothing less than an amazingly positive experience. I have never felt discriminated against. In fact, I have felt heard and respected by Marc and other executives in regards to both my professional and personal needs.”
I knew it was only a matter of time before they all released a statement giving their dying love towards Marc Cherry, there is no way in hell they would have spoken out about him or said the allegations are true. They only care about their paychecks and if they did speak any bad words they would have been next to be axed.

In a new documentary, The Carter Documentary, Lil Wayne has said that he was raped when he was just 11-years-old.
