El bromista de los BAFTA se cuela en la victoria de "Oppenheimer" Y se sube al escenario
Un tipo cualquiera se coló en el escenario de los BAFTA, donde Christopher Nolan y otros responsables de "Oppenheimer" se encontraban tras una importante victoria, y los directores del evento están cabreados.
Este incómodo momento se produjo el domingo durante la gran gala de premios británica -básicamente los Oscar para el Reino Unido- cuando "Oppenheimer" ganó el premio a la Mejor Película y un grupo de miembros del reparto y el equipo subieron a aceptarlo.
Obviamente, Nolan subió al escenario, al igual que Cillian Murphy y otros productores de la película, pero hubo un rezagado que subió al escenario y definitivamente no era su sitio.
El tipo sobresalía simplemente de pie en silencio en la parte posterior del grupo y sin pestañear, manteniendo su compostura y manteniendo la fachada. Nadie dijo nada acerca de su presencia, incluyendo Cillian, que estaba justo a su lado.
El discurso de aceptación llegó y se fue, y este bromista en realidad no causó mucha escena en absoluto, pero eso no quiere decir que la gente BAFTAs no estaban enojados, porque estaban.
Un representante de la organización dijo: "Un bromista de los medios sociales fue retirado por la seguridad anoche después de unirse a los ganadores del premio final en el escenario - estamos tomando esto muy en serio, y no desean concederle ninguna publicidad al comentar más ".
No lo nombran, pero es bastante fácil de encontrar en línea - el tipo va por el nombre de Lizwani ... y él hace esta mierda con bastante frecuencia. Se ha colado en varias galas de premios en Gran Bretaña a lo largo de los años... y a menudo lo documenta en sus canales sociales.
No hay daño, no hay falta... bueno, los BAFTA claramente piensan muy diferente. 😅
BAFTAs Prankster Crashes 'Oppenheimer' Win ... Stands Onstage w/ Crew
A random dude crashed the stage at the BAFTAs -- where Christopher Nolan and other 'Oppenheimer' heads were after a major win -- and now ... the showrunners are pissed.
This awkward moment went down Sunday during the big British award show -- the Oscars, basically, for the UK -- and it happened right at the end of the show when 'Oppenheimer' won Best Film and a bunch of cast and crew members went up to accept.
CN obviously went up, as did Cillian Murphy and other producers for the film ... but there was one straggler who ran up onstage well after them -- and he definitely didn't belong.
The guy stood out like a sore thumb, just quietly standing in the back of the group and not batting an eyelash -- maintaining his composure and keeping up with the façade. Nobody said anything about him being there either ... including Cillian, who was right next to him.
The acceptance speech came and went, and this prankster didn't really cause much of a scene at all ... but that's not to say the BAFTAs people weren't angry, 'cause they were.
A rep for the org says ... "A social media prankster was removed by security last night after joining the winners of the final award on stage -- we are taking this very seriously, and don’t wish to grant him any publicity by commenting further."
They don't name him, but he's pretty easy to find online -- dude goes by the name of Lizwani ... and he does this crap pretty often. He's slinked his way into a number of award shows in Britain over the years ... and often documents it on his social channels.
No harm, no foul ... well, actually -- the BAFTAs clearly feel very differently about that. 😅

Madonna se cae en el escenario Durante un concierto en Seattle

Madonna sufrió un percance en el escenario este fin de semana. Resulta que se cayó hacia atrás durante su último show... afortunadamente se encuentra bien.
La cantante estaba en medio de la actuación del domingo por la noche en el Climate Pledge Arena en Seattle -su última parada en la gira "Celebration"- y mientras estaba cantando "Open Your Heart", ella y uno de sus bailarines de apoyo intentó un movimiento coreografiado en una silla.
En el video obtenido por TMZ, se puede ver a la diva sentada en la silla, mientras su bailarín la inclina hacia atrás, solo para perder el control y enviar a su jefa directamente al suelo.
No está claro qué es exactamente lo que salió mal, pero por lo que parece, el tipo perdió su agarre mientras la arrastraba por escenario, lo que terminó con Madonna de espaldas en el suelo.
Ella se quedó acostada por un segundo, pero el espectáculo continuó. El bailarín hizo todo para disimular y Madonna finalmente se puso de pie para seguir adelante.
Es curioso... algo parecido ocurrió en otro concierto suyo hace poco... solo que no era la estrella del pop la que estaba en la silla, sino Old Saint Nick, quien tuvo una buena caída.
Las rutinas con la sillas en el escenario parecen algo bastante difícil...
Quedan advertidos.
Madonna Falls Off Chair Onstage ... During Seattle Concert

Madonna suffered a mishap onstage this weekend ... which saw her go toppling backward in the middle of the show -- but thankfully, she seemed to be okay.
The singer was in the middle of performing Sunday night at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle -- her latest stop on the "Celebration" tour -- and while she was belting out "Open Your Heart," she and one of her backup dancers attempted this choreographed move on a chair.
In video obtained by TMZ, you can see Madge sitting in the chair -- which her dancer tilts back ... only to lose control and send his boss straight to the floor. It stunned the crowd.
Unclear what exactly went wrong here ... but from the looks of it, the dude lost his grip as he was dragging her back down the stage plank, and it ended with Madonna on her back.
Madge was laying there for a quick sec, but the show went on ... with her dancer continuing to strut his stuff -- and Madonna herself eventually rising to her feet and keeping it going.
Funny enough ... something similar happened at yet another concert of hers recently -- only it wasn't the pop star in the chair, but rather ... Old Saint Nick, who took quite a tumble.
Chair routines onstage -- pretty tricky, and seem to end with folks laid out on their ass.
Careful out there, y'all.

Travis Kelce Hanging Out Stateside ... While Taylor Tours Australia
Travis Kelce's got a ton of free time until next year's NFL season starts ... but, he's still hanging around K.C. instead of jetting off to see his lady love down undah.
The three-time Super Bowl champ was photographed by Daily Mail hitting up one of his fav restaurants in Kansas City with a to-go bag in hand ... Taylor Swift was not by his side obviously since she's down in Australia on tour.
Travis looks relaxed in the DM pics ... having a grand ol' time while hanging out with a pal in the hot Missouri sun -- which might be surprising to fans who thought he'd be down in Australia already.
📹 | Travis Kelce on if he’ll be attending Taylor’s shows in Australia
— Taylor Swift News 🤍 (@TSwiftNZ) February 6, 2024 @TSwiftNZ
“I’m not planning anything after this #SuperBowl I’m just focused on this game right now. But I’d love to experience down under.”
pic.twitter.com/iGsYrccDcC
TK did a bunch of press leading up to the Super Bowl BTW ... including one interview where he said he would love to experience "Down Under" -- so him not already being down there's definitely raising some eyebrows.
Remember ... Swift performed a string of shows in Melbourne this past weekend -- including one right on the heels of the death of a fan who was headed to see her.
It's been an emotional weekend to say the least -- Taylor also opened up about feeling "lonely" during the pandemic ... which some people are seeing as a pretty clear shot at her ex Joe Alwyn.
Of course, Travis has been on his own emotional rollercoaster recently. The high of winning the Super Bowl was followed almost immediately by the tragic shooting at the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City.
Both Taylor and Travis have donated thousands in the aftermath of the shooting ... so, clearly the tragedy is still weighing on both of their minds.
Don't worry too much Swifties ... 'cause Taylor's got a few more shows in Australia next weekend, moving on from Melbourne to Sydney. So, Travis has plenty of time to meet up with T-Swift.
Swift's also got dates in Singapore in March ... chance for a romantic Southeast Asia vacation perhaps???

Oneya Johnson -- better known as the influencer behind the "Angry Reactions" social media account -- has been arrested for an alleged domestic violence incident ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us the 25-year-old viral star -- famous for his "angry reactions" -- was arrested on the evening of Monday, February 12 in Burbank, California after a woman called from a hotel to report an altercation.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Cops say Johnson and the woman got into a verbal argument that turned physical at one point. It's unclear exactly what may have happened between them -- but it was enough to land him in jail.
We're told the woman did not need medical attention, but Oneya was still booked on a felony domestic violence charge. He posted $50,000 bail and was released.
Oneya's risen to fame on social media in the past few years because of clips where he reacts angrily to other videos.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
For example, Johnson will film himself watching people cook or perform other weird trends on social media -- for instance, in one clip a man eats a whole corn cob -- and he'll launch into intense rants or simply stare ahead with an angry expression.
It's all in good fun -- in these videos anyway -- and he's incredibly popular ... with Johnson having amassed more than 27 million followers on TikTok since first posting back in 2020.
Johnson's next court date is set for March 5.

Pedro Pascal Shares 'Psycho' Way He Learns Lines ... Stuns Fellow Actors
Pedro Pascal's mind seems to be working on a different level ... a crazy one according to the actor himself who shared the "psycho" way he learns lines.
Pedro Pascal shares his “pyscho” way of learning lines.
— DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) February 17, 2024 @DiscussingFilm
“You just use the first letter of each word and put them in these sort of columns & then it’s this tedious way of making yourself learn the line.”
(Source: https://t.co/zyBXJaTOOA) pic.twitter.com/YuLPvN7qmp
The actor sat down with a few of his colleagues for a fundraiser put on by SAG-AFTRA and posted to their YouTube channel Friday. Alongside Pedro ... 'Morning Show' actor Billy Crudup and "Succession" stars Matthew Macfadyen and Kieran Culkin.
The group talked all about the acting craft with Pedro mentioning the wild way he learns his lines -- and even whipped out some evidence to show his colleagues.
Check out the clip ... Pascal grabs a piece of paper covered in what looks more like the binary code behind "The Matrix" than any actual tool to learn lines -- and a couple of the other interviewees clearly don't know what to make of it either with Culkin calling it "gibberish."
Pedro admits it's a "psycho" strategy and jokes he's actually The Unabomber before explaining it's every first letter of a word he's supposed to say organized in columns.
Pascal went on to say it's a tedious way of drilling the information, but works for him ... but -- from his pal Kieran's shocked expression while he explained it -- this doesn't appear to be a common practice at all.
Worth noting... the reason SAG sat down with this particular group is 'cause they're all up for the "Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series" Screen Actors' Guild trophy -- a pretty damn talented roundtable.
Pascal's bizarre memorization technique's clearly working BTW ... on top of being an award-season darling this winter, Marvel just announced him as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in future "Fantastic 4" projects -- dude's securing nominations and the bag.
Seems like Pedro won't change his ways anytime soon ... though hopefully he won't land on a government watchlist for 'em.

El actor se sentó con algunos de sus colegas para una recaudación de fondos organizada por SAG-AFTRA y publicada en su canal de YouTube el viernes, en la que participaron el actor de "Morning Show" Billy Crudup y las estrellas de "Succession" Matthew Macfadyen y Kieran Culkin.
El grupo habló sobre el arte de la actuación con Pedro, quien mencionó la salvaje forma en la que se aprende sus líneas e incluso sacó algunas pruebas para mostrarle a sus colegas.
Echa un vistazo al clip, Pascal le muestra a sus compañeros un pedazo de papel de lo que parece más el código binario de "The Matrix" que una herramienta para aprenderse las líneas. El propio Culkin lo calificó de "ininteligible".
Pedro admitió que era una estrategia de "psicópata" e incluso bromeó diciendo que era como el famoso terrorista y matemático estadounidense The Unabomber, antes de explicar que el sistema muestra cada primera letra de una palabra que se supone que debe decir organizada en columnas.
Pascal llegó a decir que es una manera tediosa de perforar la información, pero funciona para él, aunque por la sorpresiva expresión de su amigo Kieran mientras lo estaba explicando, esto no parece ser una práctica común en absoluto.
Vale la pena señalar, que la razón por la que SAG se sentó con este grupo de actores es porque todos ellos son candidatos al premio "Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series", una mesa redonda rebosante de talento.
Por cierto, la extraña técnica de memorización de Pascal está claramente funcionando. Además de ser uno de los favoritos de la temporada de premios este invierno, Marvel acaba de anunciar que interpretará a Reed Richards / Sr. Fantástico en el futuro "Fantastic 4".
Parece que Pedro no va a cambiar sus costumbres en el corto plazo, aunque esperemos que no aterrice en una lista de vigilancia del gobierno.
Pit Bulls Attack Pack Mauls Man to Death ... Bloody Body Left in Kennel
A man was mauled to death by his own pit bulls in L.A. County ... and the bloody aftermath was captured by news choppers, as officials found his body in a backyard kennel.
This horrific incident went down Thursday night in Compton -- although, this poor man wasn't discovered until Friday ... and at that point, he was dead. As you can see in the images above -- which have been circulating on social media -- the scene is downright gruesome.
Unclear what exactly led up to the mauling, but the guy's reported to have been in the business of breeding/selling pitties ... and he had at least 5 grown ones in his backyard. Cops say they believe he might have been trying to feed the animals when they turned on him.
Helicopters surveying the scene early Friday appear to have captured images of his body in one of the enclosures on his property -- but later in the day, first responders arrived to contain the situation ... apprehending the dogs themselves.
The drama wasn't over by then, though ... even after the authorities had arrived, a woman had somehow found her way into the yard and needed help escaping from the dogs.
Eventually, firefighters were able to rescue her and get the pits under control. No word on what will happen to the dogs -- they're now in the possession of Animal Control.
The director of LA County's Animal Control department says, "Our deepest sympathies are extended to the family and friends of the victim. We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation to determine the facts and ensure the safety and well-being of both the community and the animals involved."
The identity of the victim has yet to be released. A neighbor reportedly discovered him dead.

Ataque de unos pitbulls Una jauría mata a un hombre en Compton...
Un hombre fue mutilado hasta la muerte por sus propios pitbulls en el condado de Los Ángeles y las sangrientas secuelas fueron capturadas por unos helicópteros de noticias, mientras los funcionarios encontraron su cuerpo en una perrera trasera.
Este horrible incidente ocurrió el jueves por la noche en Compton, aunque este pobre hombre no fue descubierto hasta el viernes, y en ese momento ya estaba muerto.
Como se puede ver en las imágenes que han estado circulando en las redes sociales, la escena es francamente horrible.
No está claro qué causó exactamente esa mutilación, pero se ha informado que el hombre estaba en el negocio de la cría y venta de pitbull, y tenía al menos cinco de ellos en su patio trasero. La policía cree que estaba intentando alimentar a los animales cuando se le echaron encima.
Los helicópteros que estaban sobrevolando la escena temprano el viernes parecen haber capturado imágenes de su cuerpo en uno de los recintos de su propiedad. Más tarde, los primeros auxilios llegaron a contener la situación y aprehendieron a sus propios perros.
El drama no había terminado allí, sin embargo. Incluso después de que las autoridades llegaran la escena, una mujer que había encontrado su camino hacia el patio necesitó ayuda para escapar de los perros.
Finalmente, los bomberos pudieron rescatarla y controlar a los perros. No se sabe qué pasará con ellos, pero ahora están en posesión de Control de Animales.
El director del departamento de Control de Animales de Los Angeles County dice: "Nuestras más profundas condolencias se extienden a la familia y amigos de la víctima. Nos comprometemos a llevar a cabo una investigación exhaustiva para determinar los hechos y garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar tanto de la comunidad como de los animales implicados"
Aún no se ha hecho pública la identidad de la víctima. Al parecer, un vecino lo descubrió muerto.
Jennifer Lopez Se pone caliente en una nueva canción Sobre el sexo con Ben...
Jennifer López nos está dando algunos detalles muy íntimos sobre su matrimonio con Ben Affleck al cantar sobre su vida sexual juntos en una nueva canción y sí, es subida de tono.
Las cosas se ponen calientes y pesadas en la nueva canción "Greatest Love Story Never Told" de su nuevo álbum "This Is Me... Now". Escucha estas letras, por favor: "Echando de menos tu cuerpo, subiéndose encima de mí, deslizándose dentro de mí, la forma en que lo monto, cuerpos alineados, mira nuestra sincronización".
Está claro que no hay tal cosa como demasiada información cuando se trata de J Lo, al menos no por estos días.
Ahora, la canción no es del todo "porno". También canta cómo era su "destino" "encontrarse dos veces en una vida". Solo otro ejemplo de que ella y Ben están profundamente enamorados.
Ben Affleck is credited as background vocal for ‘not.going.anywhere.’ on Jennifer Lopez’s new album #ThisIsMeNow.

Los oyentes están encantados con la nueva canción. Algunos autoproclamados románticos empedernidos dijeron que se identificaban completamente con ella y que era su favorita del álbum, el primero en una década. Por eso ha sido tendencia en X gran parte del viernes.
Ben obviamente fue una inspiración importante para el nuevo álbum y también se involucró personalmente, prestando algunas voces de fondo para "Not Going Anywhere". Sí, está acreditado.
Después de que su famosa relación terminara a principios de la década de los 2000, J&B volvieron a estar juntos en 2021, con un montón de acogedores avistamientos entre ellos, incluyendo algunos nostálgicos viajes en yate, por supuesto. Afortunadamente, la cantante ha dejado claro que están mucho más seguros ahora de lo que estaban antes.
Tanto es así, que hizo un álbum en el que se aborda fuertemente su relación.
Una cosa es segura: está enamorada de su marido y, como hemos sabido, ¡él también!
J Lo está arrasando ahora mismo: su nuevo álbum no solo está siendo bien recibido por los fans, sino que su película también está siendo alabada. Pronto se estrenará otro documental "The Greatest Love Story Never Told", que llegará a Prime a su debido tiempo.
Bienvenidos a la nueva era de Jenny.
JENNIFER LOPEZ GETS STEAMY ABOUT Sex with Ben ... NSFW Lyrics in New Song
Jennifer Lopez is letting us in on some very raunchy details about her marriage with Ben Affleck -- singing about their sex life in one of her new songs ... and yeah, it's raunchy.
Things get hot and heavy in the sultry new tune "Greatest Love Story Never Told" from her new album, "This Is Me… Now." Listen to these NSFW lyrics ... "Missing your body, Climbing on top of me, Slipping inside of me, Way that I ride it, Bodies aligning, Look at our timing."
Yeah, there's clearly no such thing as TMI when it comes to J Lo ... at least not these days.
The song isn't entirely X-rated though ... she also sings of how it was "destiny" they "found each other twice in one lifetime." Just another example that she and Ben are deeply in love.

Listeners were diggin' the emotionally charged tune ... some self-proclaimed hopeless romantics said they could totally relate to it, and that it was their favorite from her first album in a decade, which was trending heavily on X Friday.
While Ben obviously served as a major inspo on the new album, he also got involved personally -- lending some background vocals for "Not Going Anywhere." Yep, he's credited.
After their famous relationship ended in the early 2000s, J&B got back together in 2021, with plenty of cozy sightings, including some nostalgic yacht trips, of course -- and thankfully, the singer has made it clear they're much more secure now than they were previously.
So much so, in fact, that she made an album that heavily touches on their relationship.
One thing's for sure: she's into her hubby -- and, as we've learned, he's really into her too!
J Lo's killing it right now -- not only is her new album being well-received by fans, but this film of hers is being praised as well. There's a separate doc coming soon too ... "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," which is hitting Prime in due time.
Welcome to the new era of Jenny, y'all.

NCAA Men's Basketball Players Get Stuck In Elevator ... Game Delayed!!!
Tipoff for an NCAA men's basketball game was delayed on Thursday night ... and it's all 'cause members of one team got stuck in an elevator while on their way to the court.
Seriously!!!
It all went down at the Wellness Center in Brookville, New York ... when the visiting Fairleigh Dickinson Univ. Knights tried to get to their game against LIU Brooklyn -- but simply couldn't, because of a faulty elevator.
Firefighters are working on getting FDU players out of a stuck elevator.

The elevator takes the players from the locker room to the court. The Knights’ game at LIU is currently in a delay. pic.twitter.com/jQQlx8QUhr
As the team was packed into the lift that was supposed to take it from the locker room to the floor ... the ride broke -- trapping players inside.
Thankfully, with the help of firefighters, the Knights were released after about 15 minutes.
Hearing that it was extremely hot in the elevator and they were in there for 15 minutes.

How is this going to impact Fairleigh Dickinson’s play? Seems rather unprecedented so I really can’t say https://t.co/oSX4zIL71G pic.twitter.com/1vXeZVhIw1
It didn't seem to faze the guys too much ... although one player said just after the incident that it sure was hot while inside of the metal box.
The team, though, still ended up putting the whole fiasco behind it and pulled off a come-from-behind, 84-82, win. And, if you're wondering, yes, they did take the stairs the rest of the evening.
Smart guys!

Ataque en tribunal de Las Vegas Jueza relata el brutal incidente "Me quería acabar"
La jueza de Las Vegas que fue brutalmente atacada por un delincuente que se abalanzó contra ella dice que estaba totalmente horrorizada y que habría muerto si el personal de la corte no se hubiera apresurado en ayudarla.
El 7 de febrero, la jueza del Tribunal de Distrito del Condado de Clark, Mary Kay Holthus prestó declaración ante el gran jurado en el caso de intento de asesinato por parte de Deobra Redden, según una transcripción obtenida por Fox 5 Las Vegas. Redden fue acusado recientemente de un delito grave por agredir a Holthus en la sala del tribunal.
En enero, Redden fue grabado por un equipo de televisión saltando por encima del banquillo y abalanzándose sobre Holthus mientras el personal lo contenía y sacaba de la sala. Las imágenes se hicieron virales de inmediato.
En su testimonio, Holthus dijo que empezó la audiencia correspondiente a la sentencia escuchando a Redden hablar de sus planes para conseguir un trabajo y hacer un cambio positivo en su vida, señalando que estaba "super tranquilo". El abogado de Redden entonces pidió al tribunal que dejara a su cliente en libertad condicional.
Pero Holthus hizo caso omiso a su petición y decidió revocar su libertad condicional después de su condena por intento de agresión no relacionada con lesiones corporales sustanciales.
La jueza destacó que Redden era un delincuente reincidente y que necesitaba "probar otra cosa porque no podía con ese historial".
Según la transcripción del gran jurado, Holthus recordó: "Lo siguiente que sé es que, literalmente, saltó la mesa de la defensa y voló antes de que yo pudiera siquiera, y me estampó contra la pared. No sé qué me golpeó dónde".
Dijo que el feroz ataque fue totalmente inesperado e "increíblemente rápido". Redden le golpeó la cabeza contra la pared de mármol.
En un momento dado, Holthus recordó que Redden la agarró por el pelo y "la tiró hacia atrás", mientras ella se acurrucaba en posición fetal, tumbada "absolutamente aterrorizada". Dijo que sufrió heridas por todo el cuerpo, que ahora estaba "abultado y magullado".
A pesar de la paliza, Holthus le dio créditos a Redden por sus habilidades atléticas para saltar fácilmente sobre el banquillo, de cuatro pies de altura.
También compartió su gratitud por el personal de la corte diciendo: "Si no hubieran estado allí, yo no estaría aquí. Yo no era rival. Me estaba derribando absolutamente".
Holthus añadió: "Si hubiera sido solo yo, no habría sobrevivido a múltiples golpes en la cabeza, que es claramente a donde íbamos con él. Así que estoy muy agradecida".
En cuanto a Redden, actualmente se encuentra en la prisión estatal cumpliendo una condena de cuatro años por su sentencia de intento de agresión. Él será procesado por el cargo de intento de asesinato a finales de este mes.
Las Vegas Courtroom Attack Judge Recalls Bunny-Hopping Brute ... 'He Was Gonna Take Me Out'
The Las Vegas judge brutally attacked by an acrobatic felon who leaped over her court bench says she was totally horrified and would have been killed if court staff had not rushed to her aid.
On February 7, Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus provided grand jury testimony in the attempted murder case of Deobra Redden, according to a transcript obtained by Fox 5 Las Vegas. Redden was recently indicted on the felony charge for his courtroom assault on Holthus.
In January, Redden was recorded by a TV news crew jumping over the bench and pummeling Holthus as the staff pulled him off and restrained him. When the footage hit the airwaves, it immediately went viral.
In her testimony, Holthus said she started off the sentencing hearing that day by listening to Redden talk about his plans to get a job to make a positive change in his life, pointing out that he was "super calm." Redden's attorney then asked the court to release his client on parole.
But, Holthus ignored the request and decided to revoke Redden's parole after his conviction for an unrelated attempted battery with substantial bodily harm.
The judge highlighted that Redden was a repeat offender who needed to get a "taste of something else because I just can’t with that history."
Per the grand jury transcript, Holthus recalled, “The next thing I know, he literally jumped that defense table and flew before I could even, and just slammed me into the wall. I don’t know what hit me where.”
She said the ferocious attack was totally unexpected and "incredibly fast," as Redden slammed her head against the marble wall.
At one point, Holthus remembered Redden gripping her by the hair and "throwing her down backwards," while she curled up in a fetal position, laying there "absolutely terrified." She said she suffered injuries all over her body, which were now "lumpy and bruised."
Despite the vicious beating, Holthus gave Redden props for his athletic abilities to easily jump over her elevated four-foot-high bench.
She also shared her gratitude for court personnel, stating, “If they hadn’t been there, I would not be here. I was no match. He was absolutely taking me out.”
Holthus added, “If it was just me, I wouldn’t have survived multiple blows to the head which is clearly where we were going with it. So I’m very thankful.”
As for Redden, he's currently in state prison serving a four-year sentence on his attempted battery conviction. He will be arraigned on the attempted murder charge later this month.
