Jacqueline Bains Beems, the wife of wrestling legend Ric Flair, has been arrested in North Carolina on domestic violence charges according to police..
Jacqueline, who is the wrestlers fourth wife, got arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault on Sunday according to the police involved.
It is unknown what she did to him, but said she didn’t use any weapons during the attack, but the the police report said that the 61-year-old wrestler did suffer some minor injuries.
A rep for him released a statement saying, “Ric and his wife had an unfortunate disagreement [Sunday], which led to his wife being arrested and charged with assault, Ric has done nothing wrong. The important thing to remember here is that we have some very exciting professional announcements in the near future. Ric finds this incident unsettling and is committed to correcting any issues in his personal life.”
For me it doesn’t matter if domestic abuse/violence is committed by a man or a woman, it is all wrong so I’m not going to make a joke about his famous catchphrase being “woooo!” I just hope that Ric Flair’s rep isn’t hinting that he will go back to wrestling, he is too old for that.

We all know that Chloe Lattanzi had a good weekend getting drunk and kissing girls, but want to know one person who didn’t have a good weekend? Gary Coleman. Because his ass got arrested for domestic violence.
The details around the whole thing are as small as he is but what we do know is that Coleman was arrested in Utah on Sunday and then booked into the Utah County Jail at around 1:30 pm.
Utah County Deputy Denton told the New York Daily News that the was wanted on a domestic assault warrant from missing a date with the courts. When the attack took place and who he assaulted is unknown but I’m willing to bet that it’s his wife Shannon Price.
Price has been charged herself with domestic violence and disordely conduct back in July after they got into a huge fight. As for now, Coleman is still sitting in jail because he couldn’t pay the $1,725 bail that was set.
How could you let someone the size of Gary Coleman hit you? Maybe the person was down on their knees?

I usually really dislike Keira Knightley, but the fact she has done this PSA for domestic abuse has totally changed my mind on her.
Keira stars as an actress who is abused and beaten up by her jealous boyfriend in the new ad which is set to hit TV in the UK tonight and movie theaters on April 6.
Joe Wright who also directed Keira in Atonement took on directing duties for this ad, which is asking viewers to donate to the charity Women’s Aid.
Speaking about it Keria said “while domestic violence exists in every section of society we rarely hear about it. Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week.”

There is no need for me to speak about what is going on in the video because it is pretty self explanatory, both Joe Wright and Keira Knightley worked on this project for free.
The PSA comes on the heels of several articles and polls that found many teens believed that Rihanna was partially to blame for the attack.
Warning… video is graphic!
The video, which says it is “based on detectives notes,” reads and acts out almost verbatim from the police report documenting the alleged beating Brown inflicted upon Rihanna during Grammy weekend. In the video, two teens in a car are seen getting into an argument, which then turns violent as a narrator describes the incident.
Brown has been charged with two felonies for his alleged attack, and will be arraigned on April 6.
The video is aimed at raising awareness for violence among teen couples, using the famous celebrity case as a way to communicate their message.
Rihanna’s dad is disappointed with the way the Los Angeles police are handling his daughter’s domestic violence case.
“Sloppy work on their part,” says Ronald Fenty, via telephone from Barbados Friday, shortly after the emergence of a graphic photo Thursday reportedly showingRihanna’s injuries from the alleged assault by boyfriend Chris Brown.
The Los Angeles Police Department issued a statement asking for the public to help with “information concerning the unauthorized release of the photograph.”
“A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.”
Brown, 19, who released a statement saying he is “sorry and saddened,” was arrested on a felony criminal threat charge Feb. 8. His case has not yet been presented by police to prosecutors.
“It’s just life, man. Chris is a great guy. He’ll be alright. And Rihanna knows he loves her, you know? They’ll be alright.”
Though Howard would later apologize for his remarks, the star’s own rap sheet offers an explanation as to why he would jump to the side of an accused domestic abuser. Police and court records reveal that Howard, 39, was once arrested for a similar crime.
According to a Whitemarsh Police Department report, after Howard and Lori McCommas argued on the phone, the actor warned, “Don’t disrespect me by hanging up on me or I’ll come over and hurt you.” McCommas then “hung up and contacted 911 fearing Howard was serious.”
While McCommas was speaking with a police dispatcher, Howard “showed up at the victim’s residence and began breaking the door down.” McCommas ran to the rear of the house and into the backyard. Howard then “broke the front door down and ran through the screen door in the kitchen. Howard then grabbed the victim’s left arm and punched her twice with a closed fist in the left side of the face.”
The attack was broken up by Howard’s brother, who responded to McCommas’s house after he “saw Howard storm out of their house to go to the victim’s house.” When a Whitemarsh cop responded to the scene, Howard admitted, “I broke the door down and hit my wife.” A second officer noted there was “fresh damage to the front door and marks on the victim’s face and arm from being struck.”
Obviously Terrence is down with smacking around his woman. Now let’s see if Roseanne Barr has something to say about that, like she didChris Brown.
Hayden Panettiere’s father, Alan “Skip” Panettiere, has been released from jail on $50,000 bail following an arrest for felony domestic violence — and he claims the whole thing is “a misunderstanding.”
“Nothing actually happened. In fact, Lesley wasn’t even aware that I had been arrested. Hayden found out about the arrest when I called her from jail. We love each other very much and want everyone to know that the matter was completely blown out of proportion.”
Alan was busted at their home for allegedly hitting Lesley on the cheek and leaving a visible mark. It’s been reported that they had quarreled earlier in the evening at an event at Eva Longoria’s restaurant, Beso.
“Nothing actually happened.” Famous last words from an abuser. How could Lesley not know he was arrested, she was there wasn’t she?
What others said:
Dlisted says, “First of all, AC Slater needs to put on a unitard and go prance around in the corner. Second of all, a misunderstanding? I can picture Lesley telling the cops in the morning, “He didn’t actually hit me. I ran into his hand several times.”
Pink is the New Blog says, “I suppose we are to assume that things got out of hand and all is forgiven, altho I would have a bit of a hard time sweeping a matter like this under the rug if I were somehow involved.”
Evil Beet Gossip says, “Oh, man, my hopes and dreams are coming true: it’s looking like this whole good girl act Hayden’s got going on is just because she’s too damn young to have developed a drinking or drug problem. I mean, now we know that she’s got some genetic tendency to get completely wasted and do really dumb shit, so, at this point, we sit patiently and wait for her life to spin wildly out of control. Then we blog about it. Hooray!”
Law enforcement sources state that Hayden Panettiere’s father, Alan, has been arrested for allegedly battering his wife — Hayden’s mom.
Sgt. Wolf of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said Alan Panettiere was arrested this morning on a felony count of domestic violence. He was popped after allegedly striking Lesley Panettiere in the face at around 3:00 AM today.
He is currently being held on $50,000 bail.
Alan and Lesley Panettiere were at a party earlier in the evening. We’re told Alan was upset because Lesley was “hanging” with someone at the shindig and he felt she was “disrespecting” him.
Sources say, according to Lesley’s statement to Sheriffs, the couple went home, began arguing and he struck her in the cheek. We’re told cops took pictures and there are visible marks.
Paramedics advised her she should go to the hospital but she refused. Alan did not give a statement to the police. It’s unclear if any of their kids were at the house at the time of the incident.
