'Project Runway' finalist responds to alleged feline-fiance assault

Tags:

Clothing designer Kenley Collins, best known for her retro pin-up girl style and contentious behavior as a finalist on season 5 of Project Runway, spoke Wednesday after a hearing in Brooklyn, addressing assault charges filed against her by her former fiancé (the Associated Press reports that the charges were reduced to a misdemeanor).

Collins, who was arrested March 17 following the incident, admits to "gently" tossing her cat on the bed during an argument; ex Zak Penley, an artist and musician, told authorities that it was done with considerably more force. He also alleged that the initial toss was followed by a laptop, three apples, and some water. No word on the current state of the flying feline.

    Maybe she got angry when she realized her name would have become Kenley Penley. . .

    Ummm…no charges of cruelty to animals? Greenblatt’s comment, “No word on the current state of the flying feline”…is NOT funny.

  • HA!

    Wait, so if she’d married him, her name would have been Kenley Penley?!!?!?!? AHAHAHAHA!

    Having abused Chris Brown for his attack on RiRi I feel compelled to say that if Kenley threw a laptop and cat at her fiance with the intent to harm she should be arrested as well

    Tossing a cat isn’t quite the same as tossing a dog, because cats suck.

  • kellen

    so wait, if he hadn’t been her ex-fiance, she would have been kenley penley? really?

  • Smoochie

    Was the cat hurt? I can’t believe people would tie up the court with this nonsense. But Kenley is batshee crazy.

    Not surprising considering her actions on the show. But SHE THREW THE CAT?!?!?!? I couldn’t stand the woman to begin with, now I just loathe her.

    I think she was just mad because she’s a lousy designer.
