The life of a ring girl is a surprisingly mysterious one, as we’ve come to learn, chock full of tumultuous relationships, betrayals, and secret double lives a pornstars. Being tasked with maintaining such a flawless physique and appearance on a 24/7 basis creates a kind of powder keg situation in the workplace, which unfortunately, usually explodes long after the octagon-shaped cards have been put down. In short, there’s a reason that Showgirls was the massive box office and critical success that it was, and it’s because it resonated with us.
That being said, this report coming out of Los Angeles involving longtime UFC octagon girl Brittney Palmer is easily the most insane/disturbing piece of ring girl news we’ve ever seen.
According to (ick) TMZ Sports, Palmer’s husband, finance expert Aaron Zalewski, was arrested on attempted murder charges last night following a scuffle with Palmer in their Los Angeles home last month.
In docs obtained by TMZ Sports … LAPD says things got physical when they wrestled for her phone — Zalewski noticed she was recording the argument, and during the struggle he threw Palmer, and she hit her head on a bedpost.
Brittney told cops Zalewski yelled, “Pack your f**king bags and go!” – but wouldn’t let her leave. She says he threw her down again — pinning her face down on a mattress, with his knee in her back. She says she struggled to breathe for 2 minutes while he held her down.
And there’s this — Brittney says during the fight Zalewski scratched his own arms and yelled … “Why are you making me do this? I just wanted you to love me.”
Jesus, that is some Marky Mark in Fear-level craziness right there.
Thankfully, Palmer managed to escape their residence and immediately called the police. Zalewski was then charged with attempted murder, spousal battery, and criminal threats, but was released on $1 million bail the next day.
Our heart goes out to Brittney right now, and we’ll continue to keep you updated as information is made available.
