Ben Affleck‘s rumored new girlfriend Kick Kennedy has a strange backstory for an environmental activist!

It’s no secret that Kick’s father Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has shared some pretty unusual tales amid his failed presidential run, but this one that his own daughter revealed years ago?? It’s maybe the grossest… even potentially incriminating!!

Back in 2012, Kick reflected on her childhood with Town & Country, sharing a story that demonstrated how she inherited her father’s similar “eccentric environmentalism,” as the outlet put it. When she was just 6, she claimed in the profile, a whale washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Her father loved to study animal skulls and skeletons, so he raced down to the beach — to get the whale’s head! Yes, you read that right. He drove down, with the kids, and he CUT OFF THE WHALE’S HEAD WITH A CHAINSAW! Yikes!

Remember, Kick was there, just a little girl! So he not only decided to cut off this whale’s head, which sounds ghoulish enough… He brought his kids along! ICK!

RFK then bungee-corded it to the family’s minivan — where it stayed for a five-hour drive to Mount Kisco, New York. OMG! The 36-year-old recalled riding down home with this thing on the roof:

“Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet. We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”

Jeez!!

How was that normal?! This is an absurd story in and of itself, but as mentioned, it could be illegal, too!!

The Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund is up in arms now that this story has resurfaced. The group’s national political director, Brett Hartl, even urged the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to investigate. He wrote a letter to government officials on Monday, noting it’s illegal to possess “any part of an animal” protected by the Marine Mammal Protection and Endangered Species acts, which includes several whale species. He noted that “continued possession of any whale skull” would be an ongoing violation of the law.

Also, transporting a skull across state lines would be a “felony violation” of the 1900 Lacey Act, “which prohibits the transportation of any wildlife, dead or alive, that was reduced to possession in violation of any state, federal or international regulation or law.” Per Axios, Brett continued:

“Normally, an unverified anecdote would not provide sufficient evidence as the basis for conducting an investigation.”

But wild animal stories like this aren’t exactly new for this hopeful politician:

“However, Mr. Kennedy has admitted that he has recklessly — and with no regard to legal requirements — taken other species of wildlife for his own personal benefit.”

Earlier this month, before dropping out of the presidential race, Robert revealed he covered up the death of a bear after a woman hit and killed it. He’d planned to “skin” and eat the bear cub, but when he ran out of time to go home and drop the dead animal off before other plans, he decided to leave it in Central Park instead, where he made it look like the creature got hit by a bike. Yeah, he openly admitted to all of this (below), so that’s why this activist group is so concerned!

This is after that photo of him allegedly eating a roasted dog came out… This is just… wow. Three dead animal stories in just a few months. And we wouldn’t even have heard of this one if Kick hadn’t apparently started dating Ben Affleck! So the question comes to mind…

How many more weird ass RFK stories are out there??

While they’re hoping for a full investigation and any necessary consequences, at the very least, the organization wants RFK Jr. to surrender “any and all illegally obtained wildlife that he continues to possess.” So far, he hasn’t reacted to his renewed controversy. While Ben is denying having any involvement with Kick, this is sure one inneresting look at his potential new in-laws! LOLz!! Reactions?! Sound OFF (below)!

The post Ben Affleck's Rumored Love Interest Kick Kennedy Told The Most Horrifying Childhood Story We've Ever Heard! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

We can’t believe this story. It’s just… unimaginable cruelty and depravity… and towards innocent animals!

Adam Britton was known as a crocodile expert, often educating viewers on BBC and Nat Geo programs. He even appeared with famed naturalist Sir David Attenborough! But behind closed doors, this zoologist was anything but a friend to animals.

From 2020 to 2022, Britton acquired dozens of dogs through the Gumtree Australia online marketplace, promising to give them a “good home.” And why wouldn’t people trust him? He was a known zoologist! But he wasn’t trying to give them good homes. He was torturing and killing them. According to court docs, he had a “sadistic sexual interest” in dogs. Over this period he tortured 42 dogs, including sexually — and killed 39 of them. He would then send photos he took prior to the torture and send them to former owners to keep up a “false narrative” that the pups were “thriving in their new environment.”

That’s what can be proven, as authorities say the extent of his crimes is likely far worse…

Related: Kristi Noem Insists She Didn’t Kill A ‘Puppy’… Just A Very Young Dog

He finally got caught because he was also posting videos he made of the torture online. He kept his identity hidden in the videos, posting under the names “Monster” and “Cerberus.” But someone who came across a video in which he tortured seven puppies turned it over to police. A dog leash was identified and led investigators to Britton.

He even sexually abused his own family dogs, Ursa and Bolt — though he didn’t torture them. In an online message in evidence, he explained:

“My own dogs are family and I have limits. I only badly mistreat other dogs… I have no emotional bond to them, they are toys pure and simple. And [there are] plenty more where they came from.”

In another message he told viewers:

“I was sadistic as a child to animals, but I had repressed it. In the last few years I let it out again, and now I can’t stop. I don’t want to. :)”

He was arrested in April 2022. Police found tons of evidence thanks to his horrifying recordings he made in his “torture room”. He also had 15 files containing “the worst category” of child sexual abuse material.

Britton ultimately pleaded guilty to 56 charges of bestiality and animal cruelty last September. And this week he was finally sentenced.

The hearing itself brought more horrors to light. Chief Justice Michael Grant told court officers they could be excused and warned those in the courtroom just hearing about the “grotesque” crimes could cause “nervous shock or some other adverse psychological reactions.” According to the BBC, some did rush out of the room, while others in the gallery cried.

Britton was sentenced to 10 years and five months in prison. He won’t be eligible for parole for six years, and he’s banned for life from purchasing or keeping animals on his property. His wife of many years Erin, a biologist and wildlife ranger who once helped Prince Harry wrangle a croc, is said to have been blindsided by his horrible deeds. She reportedly left him after the arrest and changed her name. Just awful.

The Vanderpump Rules alum was nearly one of those tourists who got bit by the King’s Guard horse, according to a video posted to TikTok this week! In the clip, Scheana is seen walking up to the animal before spinning around to face the camera, flipping her hair, and striking a pose. Well, her actions appeared to disturb the horse because it moved toward the 39-year-old reality star to nibble at her arm! OMG!

We’re glad Scheana is OK! But it’s important to point out that there are visible signs in the area warning visitors what could happen if you get too close or touch the horse! It reads:

“BEWARE. Horses may kick or bite. Don’t touch the horse. Thank you.”

And DEFINITELY be careful about big sudden movements! Clearly, Scheana was a little too close for comfort in the horse’s eyes! We bet she won’t make that mistake again the next time she’s in London!

An Indiana man is facing murder and aggravated battery charges after his girlfriend’s 21-month-old baby died in his care — and he initially tried to blame the death on the family dog!

On the 24th of last month, police in the Indiana city of Lawrenceburg were called to St. Elizabeth Hospital Dearborn to investigate a child’s suspicious head injury. The child had been taken to the hospital by the mother’s boyfriend, Jesse Sartin (pictured above, in his mugshot). Once there, the little girl was rushed into emergency surgery to treat major skull injuries. The girl eventually died a week later despite doctors’ best efforts to save her. And it was the extent of the baby’s injuries that was concerning to both emergency room personnel and police officers.

Related: 17-Year-Old Charged With Murders Of 3 Children Attending Taylor Swift Event

According to Dearborn County Prosecutor Lynn Deddens via a press release, detectives began to investigate the 25-year-old not long after he brought the baby to the hospital. Per Deddens’ release, Sartin was watching the child while his girlfriend was at work. He reported to medical staff at the ER that the little girl had been “injured in an accident.” Doctors weren’t able to save the little girl, who died on August 1. Medical examiners soon after ruled her death a homicide.

When investigators reached out to Sartin about what happened, he initially told them the child had been standing on an ottoman and had been knocked off of it by a dog when he walked into the kitchen to grab her bottle. Cops didn’t buy that claim, though. Remember how the doctors were worried about the extent of the injuries? Per court docs obtained by WLWT, doctors reported the child’s brain had herniated, and was “leaking through her ears.” The subsequent autopsy revealed “swelling to the brain, significant hemorrhages in both eyes and hemorrhaging in the spinal cord.”

oh god…

The reason it’s important to explain the the graphic details is because those injuries were far more severe than what would have happened had the child simply fallen a few feet. They were instead far more consistent with shaken baby syndrome. In a release to the media, Deddens’ office stated:

“Following an investigation, it was determined that Sartin allegedly shook the little girl for about 20 seconds.”

A few days later, during another interrogation, Sartin allegedly admitted to shaking the child after she’d taken a bath. He told cops she was “being aggressive and flailing her arms not wanting to get out of the bathtub.” Even more horrifically, he copped to shaking her for about 20 seconds, just as cops had theorized, and claimed that wasn’t even his first time shaking the child.

OMG…

Smith was officially arrested and processed into Dearborn County Jail on August 2. Then, on Monday of this week, he appeared in court for his arraignment where he was ordered to be held without bond. He was also ordered to have no contact with the victim’s mother.

Before he was forbidden from having contact with the child’s mother, though, Sartin wrote her a letter. That message was read aloud during his court appearance on Monday, too. And it indicated some pretty damning admissions of its own. In the letter, per WLWT, Sartin wrote:

“Once the bubbles were gone, I drained the water and put her toys away. I tried to pull her out but she didn’t want to get out. Screaming and swinging her arms. I tried to pull her out but she kept pulling away and I was getting upset. Baby, I’m so upset. I shook her trying to get her to calm down.”

Just… unimaginable. Such an absolutely tragic and horrible situation.

Sartin’s next court date is set for October on the murder and aggravated battery charges he now faces.

You’d think it would never get any worse for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. after allegations he ate a dog and sexually assaulted a babysitter. You’d think…

The anti-vax alternative to Donald Trump has yet another scandal which would be totally unbelievable… if there weren’t stunning evidence. And he didn’t just, you know, come out and admit it.

Video: Donald Trump Implodes Speaking To Black Journalists

Apparently RFK got word The New Yorker was going to publish an exposé about the time he killed a baby bear cub, and his response was to just tell the whole story himself the day before. In a video posted to X (Twitter), the presidential candidate sits at a dining room table and casually tells Roseanne Barr the story, saying in that bizarrely shaky voice of his:

“I was taking a group of people falconing up in Goshen, New York… And then a woman in the van in front of me hit a bear and killed it.”

So remember, it was someone else who hit the bear. He just disposed of the body in a creative way, nothing weird! He told Roseanne:

“So I pulled over and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van because I was going to skin the bear, and it was very good condition, and I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator.”

He made a point of explaining that was legal in NY state, eating “roadkill bear.” He then recalled they had “a really good day” hawking while the dead bear sat in the back of his car. But they had such a good time, he didn’t have time to go home — because he was having dinner that night with friends in the city. So he left the dead bear in his car all through the dinner. And then the dinner went late, and he realized he didn’t have time to get home to his freezer before having to get to the airport.

“I had to go to the airport, and the bear was in my car, and I didn’t want to leave the bear in my car because that would have been bad.”

So what to do with this young bear corpse? Well, ever the problem solver RFK thought to himself about the “series of bicycle accidents” in New York because they’d “just put in the bike lanes” — so the wheels started spinning, presumably being spun by the worm in his brain:

“I wasn’t drinking, of course, but people were drinking with me who thought this was a good idea. And I said I had an old bike in my car that somebody asked me to get rid of… I said, ‘Let’s go put the bear in Central Park, and we’ll make it look like he got hit by a bike.’ Everybody thought, ‘That’s a great idea!'”

DID THEY??? He recalled whimsically:

“We thought it would be amusing for whoever found it, or something.”

Two women jogging found the corpse the next morning. People were NOT amused. The story of the dead bear cub actually went viral:

“The next day it was on every television station. I was like, ‘Oh my God, what did I do?’ I was worried because my prints were all over that bike … Luckily, the story died down after a while.”

The video ends with RFK explaining how The New Yorker somehow found out about it and told him they were doing a story, and it was going to be “bad.” He and Roseanne and others in the room share a big laugh about it.

Remember that’s his version, which he captioned:

“Looking forward to seeing how you spin this one, @NewYorker”

Sorry, what spin does this guy think needs to be done on this?

He’s the type of guy who sees a dead bear cub and makes sure to snag that body. But then he loses track of time and leaves a rotting corpse in his car for several hours, to the point he has to throw it away… And his solution is to stage a fatal bicycle accident in Central Park where some child could find it. That’s all by his own admission!!!

What The New Yorker does have is a photo. RFK already said he found the whole thing hilarious, and he proved it. Like with the alleged dog carcass, he took a jokey photo with the bear corpse, puppeteering its head to make it look like he’s fighting with it, and it’s biting him.

[WARNING: This photo is graphic!]

The post RFK Jr. Admits To ANOTHER Insane Scandal -- Covering Up The Killing Of A Baby Bear Cub appeared first on Perez Hilton.

According to Vietnam News, a 31-year-old Indian national was admitted to Viet Duc Hospital in Hanoi on July 27 with intense abdominal pain — only for staff to discover a LIVE 2-foot eel trying to eat its way out of the guy’s body!!

Related: Man Cuts Off His Finger To Compete In Paris Olympics!!

Le Nhat Huy, vice director of the Department of Colorectal and Perineal Surgery, said:

“The eel had bitten through the patient’s rectum and colon to escape into the abdominal cavity. Eels can survive in anaerobic conditions for a long time and have the ability to bite through the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, people should never insert live animals through the anus to seek intense sensations due to the unforeseeable consequences.”

AHHH!

They tried to remove the ray-finned fish where the sun don’t shine, but in the attempt they also found the man shoved a whole lime up his butt too! My guy, what the heck!

Docs had to perform emergency surgery where they removed the 25 inch long creature and the lime safely. Surgeons also did a colostomy to prevent fecal matter from passing through the cuts made by the eel’s bite. This isn’t the first time a hospital in Vietnam removed an eel from someone’s rectum this year, either! Sheeshhhh!

Be careful what you place up there, Perezcious readers!!

Naria Harutjunjan has her finger pointed at UPS after her dog died in an incident she says was caused by a delivery driver for the company. During a recent interview with KCAL News, the North Hills resident claimed her pooch Lulu passed away last Wednesday after a UPS driver approached her home and threw a 55 pound package over her gate. Sadly, she says, it landed on her dog. The devastated pet owner told the outlet:

“I took the package. I saw my dog was … she couldn’t move anymore. My neighbors were there. They helped me with the dog to bring her to the Mission Hills clinic. But they said she passed away.”

How tragic.

Security footage from Naria’s neighbor does show the UPS employee approaching her home and throwing the package over the gate, just as she described. Her own Ring camera also recorded footage of the driver looking at the gate before driving away.

Reflecting on how dangerous the situation was, Naria told the news station:

“He could kill me, he could kill any baby playing here, or anybody else.”

She added through tears:

“Yesterday when I [wanted] to let her out, I took her and I said, ‘I don’t know Lulu, why but I love you so much.’ And it was my last time.”

Naria had just adopted the dog last year. So incredibly tragic.

If this is true, she’s absolutely right. Tossing such a heavy package over a fence is incredibly dangerous! In the wake of her story, UPS has announced they’re launching an investigation into the situation:

“We recently learned of the situation in North Hills. We are certainly concerned and will contact the customer. We will investigate and take appropriate action.”

Naria has reportedly been in contact with an attorney and is considering taking legal action against UPS, the driver, and Amazon, as she ordered the package from there. More details (below):

So very sad.

In a January episode of her Let’s Be Clear podcast, the Charmed actress said she wants to be “cremated” and for her ashes “to be mixed” with her beloved dog Bowie and her father John Thomas Doherty Jr.‘s ashes. She said at the time:

“Like, really mix it up so it’s a healthy mixture of my father, me and Bowie […] I do not want to be buried. I want to be cremated.”

Bowie was by her side at the time of her death, according to her publicist Leslie Sloane. The poor dog must be missing his owner now!

By the way, Shannen had lots of other thoughts on how she wanted to be remembered. During that same episode, she told her friend and guest Chris Cortazzo that he had permission to wear some of her ashes around his neck, just like she did when her dad died in 2010.

If you don’t know, Chris was one of the last people to be seen with Shannen out in public before her passing over the weekend. The pair was seen with a female friend outside of Kristy’s in Malibu, California in June. In photos of the group, the real estate agent could be seen with his arm wrapped around the Heathers alum as she smiled.

So sad.

Also in the aforementioned podcast episode, the 53-year-old gave some ideas on where her ashes should be spread, noting that she wanted to “find a place that my dad and I both really loved and it meant a lot to us,” such as Malibu, California, where they spent “precious time” together. She also said she wanted her funeral to be “like a love fest” and only filled with people who truly wanted to be there and didn’t feel obligated “because it’s the politically correct thing to do.” That was definitely a dig at her controversial co-stars and ex!

While these next few weeks and beyond will be very difficult for her loved ones as they mourn her loss, at least Shannen was able to share her final wishes with everyone before it was too late. Hopefully, that will bring some comfort to her family as they honor her. Thoughts? Share them in the comments (below).

The post Princess Anne Still 'Can't Remember' Incident With Horse That Caused Head Injury! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

His death occurred last month and attracted little notice until his sister Rebecca Hertzberg-Pfaffinger revealed the tragedy to the media this week. According to her, Benji was found dead in his car in the parking lot of a Chase Bank in Peoria, Arizona back on June 13.

Per TMZ on Thursday morning, Rebecca believes that Benji went to the bank at some point on the previous day to deposit residual checks from his entertainment work. His family thinks that he then fell asleep in his car — and tragically died hours later due to vehicular heat stroke in the blazing summer sunt of Arizona. Sadly, his service dog — a pug named Hans (pictured above, inset) — was also in the car with him, and the dog also perished. Benji was just 46 years old.

Related: Porn Star Jesse Jane’s Official Cause Of Death Finally Revealed

Per that news outlet, Rebecca revealed that her brother had suffered from bipolar disorder, depression, and a sleep disorder that would sometimes keep him awake for days at a time. That sleeping issue, and the exhaustion of falling asleep in his car leading to possible death from the heat, may have played a role in the tragedy. Officially, the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office says that his cause of death is still pending. Per People, the temperature in Peoria rose as high as 109 degrees on June 12.

Benji’s most high-profile gig was on the aforementioned sitcom ALF. He played the role of Brian Tanner on 101 episodes of the show between 1986 and 1990. He later left the entertainment industry, and in 2003, he enlisted in the US Navy. He graduated from a Navy training school to become an aerographer’s mate while in the service, and later received an honorable medical discharge from that organization.

Gregory could have been soon to return to ALF fame in some form, as the show was in the development stages as a possible reboot in 2018. That eventually fell through, but in February of this year, Shout! Factory announced that it had acquired the rights to ALF and was trying to develop new content to build off the show’s original run.

We are sending our most sincere condolences to Gregory’s family, friends, and loved ones.
