I have seen it a million times. A child star gets famous really quickly. He crashes and burns only to end up as a one season punch line on Saturday Night Live. Ten years go by and he finally starts to make a name for himself again, and then it strikes. He is a forehead biter. In court today, more details were reported by the NY Post about the incident involving Anthony Michael Hall and his former girlfriend Diana Falzone. Apparently when Hall began banging on the door late one night and she let him in, Hall pushed her against the wall of her apartment and bit her forehead. Really? I'm trying to imagine how someone would do it and why that would be the place they would think of to bite first. This guy needs help and it sounds incredibly scary for her. I mean being shoved against the wall and the guy starts to take a bite out of your forehead? He also pushed and shoved her in addition to making her call him Farmer Ted.
I guess she didn't call the police or didn't have bite marks or something because Hall was questioned by police but no charges were filed. Really? So, from now on anyone can feel free to bite the forehead of another person?
This makes me sad. They should've charged him so that they could force him to get help. :(
ReplyDeletehe is supposedly bi-polar. I think I read there was an incident on the set of his show because he was off his meds. No excuse for his behavior AT ALL but he does have some underlying medical issues...still his responsibility to stay treated so he doesn't put people in danger.
ReplyDeletethat's funny. I thought he'd be a pillow biter.
ReplyDeletei understand that DV cases are public record, but damn...i feel sorry for the woman: for having to suffer in private and now in public.
ReplyDeleteHe's a forehead biter, I'm a ball-kicker. We all have our quirks...
ReplyDeleteomg, how incredibly scary for the gf...if she cares about him at all, i hope she's insisting he get help. it can't be easy to be involved w/ someone that has a mental illness. poor girl.
ReplyDeletePeople who are bi-polar get to feeling so normal on meds, they quit taking them. That's when the trouble starts. That, and the manic highs are so incredible, they don't want to lose them.
ReplyDeleteIs that photo of him on or off his meds? Because he scares me. He looks like he'd like to eat my brains.
ReplyDeleteI don't care if he was off his meds, or why. Just because someone has a "condition" they don't get a free pass. If he bit someone's forehead, he needs to go to jail.
Except for the fact that there might not be any evidence because she didn't report it and that you DONT go to jail in this country if you were unable to conform you conduct to the requirements of the law because of your mental illness.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if he did something like this BECAUSE he was mentally ill, he can be institutionalized until he is no longer a threat to others.
I actually worked with a woman who was arrested for biting her husband's forehead during a fight. In our state, if the cops are called for a domestic dispute someone is going to jail, no matter what.
ReplyDeleteIn their case the fight was drug/alcohol fueled.
This is really dumb, but way back around the time AMH was hired by SNL, at the height of his fame, he met and then relentlessly pursued my cousin in Florida. She was his age, incredibly beautiful, smart, and sweet. And after going out w him a few times, she decided she wasn't interested in any more. When she told him, AMH pulled a 'don't you know who I am',** and would still call whether he was in town or not, checking up on her. He practically stalked her.
ReplyDeleteHe only stopped after he was in L.A. or NYC long enough to fall in love w some other aspiring model.
So seeing him now makes me think he is capable of anger w women.
AMH suffers from bipolar disease and frequently goes off his meds, resulting in terrible situations like these. While one can't help being mentally ill, one CAN abide by the right treatment plan to ensure the safety of oneself and loved ones. Unfortunately, this on-and-off the meds thing is all too common for many with mental illness.
ReplyDelete**Actually, AMH's version of 'don't you know who I am' when a random girl in the 80's tried to break up w him was:
ReplyDelete"WHAT?!!!? I'm MIKE HALL!!!!"
(Apparently he goes by Mike IRL.)
He WAS very young and a new celeb when he said it, but he did say it, just like that.
Isn't it nice that we now have the word 'douche' to describe that kind of behavior? Yeah, I know it's overused, but it's just so perfect.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking he wanted her to look at him and when she put her head down because she refused to, he bit her in the forehead.
ReplyDeleteI have always hated him.
ReplyDeletemember how hot he was in Edward Sissorhands? Sigh>>>> why are the hot ones always so bloody crazy?
ReplyDeleteHe was just trying to see into her dead zone, guys
ReplyDelete...he also pushed and shoved her in addition to making her call him Farmer Ted...
ReplyDeleteLMFAO!! Yeah, it's wrong, but it's funny.
Thanks for the snark, Enty!
He looks like a total nutjob. How in the hell do you bite someone's forehead anyway? Why not their nose?
ReplyDeleteMuch easier target. :p
Sounds to me like Miss Falzone needed her name in the headlines to give her career a boost and she thought up this story about Mr. Hall abusing her.
ReplyDeleteHer story gets more outlandish everytime she thinks up something new to add. Now he bit her in the face, yet a police officer stated in another article she showed no bite marks or any other evidence of phyiscal abuse.
Sorry not buying her story one bit.
and fact that the police is not charging Mr. Hall tells me Miss Falzone has no leg to stand on in this case.
The burden of proof is with her. Yet she has not proven a thing.
I belief Mr. Hall to be innocent until proven guilty.
