Accusations of bad parenting flew from both parties, and a bitter battle ensued over their blended brood of adopted and biological children from their union and Farrow's pre-Allen days.

A jealous Florida woman was accused of burning her husband's boat, go-kart and Jacuzzi after an argument over a Jennifer Lopez movie! Shannon Wriska, a 34-year-old mother of three, was arrested on first-degree battery charge and arson charges following an argument about the actress at their Milton trailer.

He said they began to argue about Jennifer Lopez, and then they both went to bed. But things soon turned heated again when Robert asked Shannon to move over in their bed. He said she yelled at him: “So you're saying I've got a fat ass?” She then left the house fuming. The next day, Robert was at a neighbor's home when his wife pulled up in her car, saw him and became furious. That's when she set his go-kart on fire, but Robert was able to extinguish it. Next, she packed her car with his dogs and told him she was going to “put them to sleep,” and punched him. Then the woman left the scene.

Incredibly, she denies all charges and says her husband set the blaze himself. The incident is now under investigation.




The girl who forgot her BF was traveling and sent him several nasty emails thinking he was avoiding her

Most of us at some point in our lives have sent an email or text in the heat of an angry moment that we later regretted.

The emails had been sent, the damage had been done, and now this little video of her big mistake has been put together so we can all feel so much better about any communication snafus we've made in the past.





The guy who decided to breakup with his girlfriend by setting her wardrobe on fire

A Montrose-area man is charged with arson after his 4th of July celebration ended with a homemade fireworks display consisting of his girlfriend's entire wardrobe. After getting wasted with his girlfriend and another couple at a Houston-area club, 30 year-old Albert Briede proceeded to drive home drunk, which took hours. When he finally got there, he broke his apartment's locked door "completely off its frame," and screamed at his sleeping girlfriend (she'd wisely taken a cab home), "Why did you make me do that?" The girlfriend called the cops, whereupon Briede decided to set fire to her shirts, causing their entire closet to go up in flames. Luckily a sprinkler system saved their building from total immolation, but Briede faces up to 10 years in prison and, presumably, the dissolution of his relationship.
