So what’s Gerrard Butler doing besides not dating Jennifer Aniston? Well he did not beat the crap out of a dog, according to him. The dog’s elderly owners have a different story. According to Fred and Maria Varecka they were taking their greyhound Mayfly out for a walk when Mayfly crossed paths with Lolita. Lolita is Gerrard’s pet pug.
Now Lolita and mayfly started doing what dogs do, whkch is sniff each other in odd places. According to the Varecka’s no sooner did mayfly’s nose touch Lolita’s than Butler flew into a wild rage. He started to shout & holler, insisting that the dog should be put down. Then he went Michael Vick and slammed the dog’s head into a fence!
Now Gerrard, or should I say his attorney Alan Siegel (who’s doing all the talking at the moment) doesn’t see it that way. According to Butler by way of Siegel the Vareckas are negligent owners of an out of control dog. Here’s the official version: “They don’t have it trained. They don’t know what they’re doing with their dog. People are so mean,” Gerard’s manager said, adding that his client spent four hours at an NYC animal hospital waiting for Lolita to be treated and released. “They’re just trying to milk this.”
We’re all cynical enough to believe that this could be an attempt to cash in. We still like Gerry enough to want to give him the benefit of the doubt. However this isn’t the first time Gerry’s got himself in legal trouble over anger management issues. He just recently had to go to court on a charge of assaulting a paparazzi. Now this. He might get off on this too – by way of an out of court settlement. However a pattern is emerging. So at least we’ll be less surprised by the next report of a Butler tantrum.
