Kenley Collins: My Cat Wasn't Hurt in Boyfriend Brawl

March 26, 2009


Project Runway season 5 finalist Kenley Collins denies she used her cat as a weapon during a fight with her ex-fiancé.

The aspiring designer was in a Brooklyn, NY, court Tuesday to answer charges that she attacked Zak Penley with a laptop, apples and a feline as he slept in their bed on March 17.

During the session, she was told that the assault charge against her would be reduced to a misdemeanor.

"The only reason why a cat was involved in this story because when I first approached Zak, I was holding my cat and it was gently tossed onto my bed," she said outside court. "There was no cat hurt or thrown. The cat was not thrown at Zak. It was tossed onto the bed. There was an argument. No violence was used. Nothing was thrown."

Kenley, who was deemed difficult during her time on the Bravo series, said that Zak, with whom she has ended her engagement, exaggerated the story to police.

She's due back in court April 14.

Poor cat.
Poor apples
Poor laptop
Poor ex-fiance(ish)
god knows what they were arguing, so it is hard to judge whose fault it was...but don't throw the cat!

Go tell it to Peta that your pussy cat wasn't one of your weapons of choice. An apple a day keeps the doctor away but not Kenley!
-- Meow

even if she did "toss" the cat, she threw it into the line of fire, since he was on the bed. i hope the humane society comes and takes the cat before something worse happens. she's nuts!
