warpedskydiver 0 #1 March 7, 2006 Yanni Arrested in Alleged Domestic Dispute By Associated Press 2 hours ago An undated photo provided by the Palm Beach Sheriff's ... MANALAPAN, Fla. - The musician Yanni was arrested at his home after an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend, authorities said. Yanni, whose legal name is John Yanni Christopher, was arrested early Friday and faces a domestic battery charge, according to a police report. The Greek-born singer-pianist denied the allegations. Yanni asked his girlfriend, Silvia Barthes, to leave his beachfront home in Manalapan on Thursday night, the police report said. Barthes, 33, told police she attempted to pack her clothing but the 51-year-old musician threw it on the ground. She told officers he then grabbed her arms and shook her, throwing her on the bed, and jumped on top of her, according to the report. Yanni told police Barthes kicked him, and he believed he injured his finger during the incident, the report said. No one answered a call to a telephone listing for a John Christopher in Manalapan late Monday. But the musician said in a statement he was innocent. "These allegations are cruel, false, without merit and baseless," said the statement released by his manager, Danny O'Donovan. "At a more appropriate time and place, I hope and pray I will have an opportunity to address my fans and colleagues all over the world."

RhondaLea 3 #7 March 8, 2006 QuoteTypical bias against men. Up above, the guy asked her to leave, and that's what she tried to do. Then he assaulted her. Where's the bias? As for your own example, anyone can lie. I'll grant you that there are as many women who are not right in the head as men, but that does not mean that "women are working the system." I have an ex-boyfriend who told me that his ex-wife put the hand prints on her throat herself before she called the police. I believed him. (Sometimes, I'm a real idiot.) I stopped believing when the pushing and shoving started. That was, of course, after a couple of months of verbal and emotional abuse. Sometimes it's very difficult to sort these things out, and sometimes the innocent get nailed, but that's not peculiar to domestic violence. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.
