Columbus Short Is A Scary Guy
"He then pinned me on the couch and began to choke me. He placed the knife close to my neck and threatened to kill me and then kill himself. He insisted that we play a game he called ‘Truth or Truth’ and told me if I lied to him he was going to stab me in the leg. He started randomly listing names of people we knew and accused me of having an affair. I denied his accusations each time … after each denial he stabbed the couch next to where I was or stabbed other nearby furniture. He placed the knife next to my throat two more times and again threatened to kill both of us.
At this time, I heard our two-year-old daughter upstairs, who was woken by the screaming. I tried to get up and go comfort our daughter, but he told me not to get her — he would not let me get off the couch. He then saw that I had a credit card in my hand, and he grabbed it from me. He went to go hide the credit card, at which time I ran upstairs and got my daughter. I then ran outside and got into the car. Before I could drive off, [Columbus] ran to the car and started hitting the window. Then he tried to get behind the car and block me from leaving. I was able to slowly maneuver the car and drive away."
What is even more disturbing to me is that she says this is the third time in the past two months that something similar has happened to her. I'm glad she is finally out of there, but I wish she would have left after the first time. I also wonder about Short's future as an actor, because is this someone you want associated with your projects?
today must be everbody's fu*ked day at CDaN
ReplyDelete"I was able to slowly maneuver the car and drive away" Umm how about you just get the fuck outta there.
ReplyDeletenicely put.
DeleteWell FSP, I don't think she wanted to get charged if she said " I knocked that bastard over getting out of there!"
DeleteI spy the fine hand of a lawyer's attempt to stymie a countersuit. :-D
If that was the situation, I can't imagine any jury who could convict her if she had run him over in the process.
DeleteWho in the world? True dat sandy
ReplyDeleteWho is this abusive asshole?
ReplyDeleteFirst time rationalization- Drugs
2nd rationalization- Drinking and Drugs
Third time? This Bastards crazy! Ain't no money worth our lives!
Agree.
DeleteI hope Shonda kills off his Scandal character now. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteGuess he's not so much of a gladiator now, right?
ReplyDeleteWhat a Scandal! That said, this is bad news. I hope he gets help.
ReplyDeleteIf this were me, this would not have happened a second time, especially with a child in the house. Unbelievably irresponsible parenting. Report him so he at least might get some help/realize that this is not normal behaviour.
ReplyDeleteHis role has gotten progressively smaller on Scandal, he was on last week and I was surprised to even see him there, thought he had left.
ReplyDeleteI wondered if Producers are preparing to axe the character. He doesn't add anything anymore, has effectively been removed from the storyline.
I agree - he has disappeared. Hopefully Adnan axes him! Can't look at him the same now. The show has totally jumped the shark, but still.
DeleteEither this specimen straightens out or stays behind bars. He cant mix with regular people.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt!
DeleteWell isn't this a warm and fuzzy morning? Bryan Singer molesting kids followed by Andre No-More-Johnson followed by Columbus Short pulling a knife on his wife. Maybe this will help.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to divorce and asked for sole custody and that he is barred from his child. He is DANGEROUS! I wouldn't leave my child alone with him.
ReplyDeleteI can barely understand him on Scandal. He mumbles as he delivers his lines.
ReplyDeleteDidn't he use to be a Britney Spears dancer?
ReplyDeleteRemember the Britney story I told you guys about how they did a whole video and planned for her to fake a knee injury so they could get her to the hospital for an abortion (but she really ended up blowing her knee in the process)? Columbus was the daddy.
ReplyDeleteMind blown @ Dime. Mind blown...
ReplyDeleteIt was the video for outrageous! I really liked that song. but yeah, he was cheating on his wife or fiancé with Britney circa in the zone. she even mentioned him in her cd notes. She really got away with that one. ALMOST NO ONE remembers that.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like a great guy.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed his role getting smaller and smaller.....
ReplyDeleteSeason final tonight baby----perhaps he won't survive it
interesting Katie....
ReplyDeleteand dime
ReplyDelete@jacq well then, you'd be dead wrong. If the victims of a robbery can be sued by the family of the robber for getting killed in the middle of a robbery attempt and win the lawsuit, how the fuck do you think a lawsuit in this situation would go any differently?
ReplyDeleteHey headrot, howzit?
DeleteHollywooddime you're blowing my mind this morning. I need to check in more just to read your comments
ReplyDeleteUggggh I used to love him. Crush totally ruined. Just disgusting.
ReplyDelete@hollywood dime WOAH. I remembered they dated, but had no idea she was pregnant by him. Mind blown
Not defending him, but her story sounds sketchy.
ReplyDelete"I also wonder about Short's future as an actor, because is this someone you want associated with your projects?"
ReplyDeleteRight? Cause look how Charlie Sheens career tanked! Oh wait...
but Sheen carried a popular highly rated sitcom
ReplyDeleteShort does not.......he can't afford the bad rep
Hollywood Dime, I am *so* glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteHow does anyone let this happen a second time? When people show the crazy it's past time to get outta there. So glad Brit didn't breed with this guy!!
ReplyDeleteWhat the what, Holllywood??
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, Hollywood is ON FIRE today!!

ReplyDeleteah sweet Harry but I counter with his more occasion appropriate sweetness
ReplyDeleteAwwww
Good golly & wowsers, @hollywood! If you do come back in, would you be able to give us a circa on when this happened?
ReplyDeleteBaby Wipes is still in demand right?
ReplyDeleteHollywood Dime! All I can say is mind blown. I'm guessing Harrison isn't long for Olivia Pope's world.
