The Deadly Hairbrush Incident

Update as of 10-15-2018 -- The case has been dismissed by both parties.  As we have agreed to move forward, the dismissed case will remain confidential.

Yesterday, TMZ broke the news "Bold & Beautiful" Star Victor Alfieri Was Attacked With a Hairbrush!!

The TMZ article reads -

It's pretty ironic ... "Bold and the Beautiful" star Victor Alfieri -- famous for his flowing locks -- claims he was attacked with a hairbrush ... and now he wants protection from the perp.

Alfieri has just got a restraining order against xxx, who lives with Alfieri's neighbor. According to docs, xxx beat him in the face last month with a hairbrush ... and has relentlessly harassed him for more than a year and threatened to put him in the hospital.

According to Alfieri, xxx was arrested for battery but released a day later ... and the harassment never stopped.

Alfieri doesn't explain why there's such animosity, but he does say the right side of his face still hurts like a bitch and his right eye now twitches.

Here's the problem.  The judge granted the restraining order, but can't order xxx to stay far away because he lives in Alfieri's building.  So the order is that xxx must stay 3 YARDS away.

As they say ... every inch counts.

I honestly was worried when I read this article that I personally sent Victor an email asking him if he was ok. He did not reply to me, of course. 

Some people, TMZ readers, specifically, did not feel much sympathy or compassion and opted to mock him. These are some of the comments -

"Two days before this happened a janitor bumped his foot with the vacuum and his little toe hasn't been the same since. And 3 days before that, a Gnat flew into his mouth sticking to the back of his throat nearly choking him to death. Is it bad luck or is it a conspiracy against him?"

"He's going to have an even harder time finding his testicles, now that he has a twitchy-eye...!!! TESTIFY !!!..."

"Lovers quarrel!"

"S/He's gaaay. That's a point, blank. Period!! #TRUTH!!"

"Well, his hair does look a little messy."

"A man... beat a man with a hairbrush... this is a non-story. Good for a wtf(?) moment, though."

"Ya, I'll bet he lives with the neighbour, NOW. I wouldn't doubt he lived with this dude before the Hairbrush incident. How come no police report was filed?"

"How does a man beat another man with a brush? Why does a man have a brush? Oh my this Ashton Kutcher look a like should quit."

"This is funny he's not listed as in the cast on B&B CBS website. He is easy on the eyes but me thinks his difficult personality makes him an ugly person. JS" 

"Dude, you got jacked with a hairbrush? That's it, your out. You know the rules so, hand it over. Come on, quit stalling, hand over your Bro Card. Now!"

Luckily for Victor, there are still people who will take his side. Let's read this very sweet message from Johnny -

"Poor Victor, he is a terrific actor. What a weird incident. lol. I have heard it, all now. Nothing shocks me anymore. Victor, I will take care of you sweetie. I will give you tlc. lol. HOPE you feel better, Victor."

And let's not forget Dawn. She has written numerous comments defending Alfieri. This time she took the chance to chime in and simply wrote: 

"Nutty neighbors. There's always at least one. Crazy obsessed people don't need an excuse."

Crazy obsessed people? Who said anyone was obsessed here? Dawn, as we know, is an ALIAS or might be Alfieri himself. So, through this comment we learn that the attacker was probably a relentless obsessed fan... Is that possible? Oh well, we have heard that story before.

The article does not specify what type of hairbrush was used in the attack. It could have been a brush such as the one depicted in the picture below.

A gigantic hairbrush could become a deadly weapon

I just wonder.... if Alfieri is such a great boxer and fighter as he claims, why didn't he defend himself????  Whatever the truth is, we all have the right to feel safe in our own homes and neighborhoods. It is good that Alfieri got a restraining order. Let's hope he recovers from these hairbrush injuries. And let's also hope that there are no more crazy obsessed people after him. 

Update - January 22, 2014. TMZ posted an "exclusive" piece following the original article.

Sunset Boulevard

Update as of 10-15-2018 -- The case has been dismissed by both parties.  As we have agreed to move forward, the dismissed case will remain confidential.

This morning I was walking by the Coffee Bean on Sunset Blvd., I thought of Victor Alfieri and how funny it would be to run into him there. I even imagined cheerfully shouting out "Alfieri" with a big smile on my face.... when a man twirling his hair got my attention...

This man was compulsively twirling the hair that was sticking out of the bandana he was wearing over his head. This is something Victor would do all the time. I remember I would slap his hand when he did  that and would say, "stop doing that!" because it truly got on my nerves.

When I got closer to him, I observed, his face, his profile, his clothes.... It was Victor Alfieri!!! I think he also saw me but pretended he did not know who I was. He immediately put his headpiece (connected to his cell phone) in his ear and started walking the opposite direction.

Larrabee Street

Last year, I was living in an apartment on Larrabee and Santa Monica Blvd. He knew I lived on Larrabee because I had told him I moved there.  This is before we broke up and, of course, before the scandal erupted. However, he did not know the exact address. Please see map on left. "A" is where I used to live.

After publicly accusing me of being obsessed with him and of "stalking" him, I found him following me and driving by my apartment building several times.  Anyone from West Hollywood knows that Larrabee is only 3 blocks long. There is really NO reason to drive on Larrabee if you don't live there or if you are not visiting someone who lives there. San Vicente Blvd, a major street, is just a block away from Larrabee Street and can connect you to Santa Monica Blvd or Sunset Blvd.

It was clear that he wanted to know where my apartment was and spent numerous hours driving down the short 3 block street trying to figure out where EXACTLY I lived. I remember one day as I was exiting my garage, I cut off a car that I was approaching. I waved at the car with an apologetic gesture. I realized it was Victor's Porsche... with Victor inside. Because he was right behind my car, I could see him in my rear view mirror. We were both heading toward Santa Monica Blvd. We were going to have to make a right turn. But, through the rear view mirror, I saw how Victor freaked out and made an immediate left into an alley. At that point, he had succeeded in finding out where I lived.

Just a couple of weeks after this incident, a mutual friend who was visiting me saw him on the corner of Cynthia and Larrabee. I actually met this mutual friend through Victor, himself. He also had problems with her and they were not talking anymore. He was again in his Porsche signaling that he was going to turn right onto Larrabee Street, my block - and as I said before - really no reason to go that way. He saw my friend and "freaked"... What did he do this time?  He continued going straight on Cynthia with his right blinker still on!

Why would he drive by my place???? What was he expecting to get out of it??? Was he spying on me?  So who was stalking whom?

When he and I started talking again after I dropped my lawsuit against him, he was very persistent in getting my new address. He claimed he would send a copy of the first cut of the film by regular mail. I refused to give my home address to him although by now, he probably knows it. He proved to be a good investigator.

It is really ironic how close the two of us are geographically. Next time we run into each other, I hope to be able to say hello and communicate like two adults. He is the one who started all the conflict. He is the one who created a slanderous lie about me that grew too big to be manageable. If he offered his sincere apologies and told the truth about what really happened between us.... Well.... I could only dream!!!!
