More on the story.....
It happened again, Varley says, just five days into the marriage. The couple was staying at a hotel in Trenton, NJ.
Varley: “Here we are on a vacation and out of nowhere Phanty starts going to the mini-bar. And I come in and she's violent. And I was stunned.”
Phillips: “Did you do anything to set her off?”
Varley: “Nothing. Nothing. She just -- when she wants a drink she goes and gets a drink. I said, ‘What is the reason?’ Because I wanted to know the reason. And she could never give me an answer, just the usual, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!". And I realized that, you know, I had a problem on my hands.”
Phillips: “That you alone could not solve.”
Varley: “No. I knew I couldn't solve it. Because I couldn't figure out what made Phanty drink when things were going well, I mean the Phantom2 underwear line was ready to hit the retail market.”
Phillips: “It's called alcoholism.”
Varley: “Yeah. But I thought love would more than prevail. And that someone caring about her finally and loving her and wanting to do for her. I didn't care if she worked. I never cared if Phantom2 worked. I said, be a housewife. Go out and shop. Take the credit card and splurge at Kenneth Cole. I wanted to give Phantom2 a normal life. I loved Phanty. You know, it tore my heart out.”
Later that same month, the couple returned to New York, staying at a hotel while their apartment was being renovated. It was here, Varley charges, that the next incident occurred. And this time, he says, he wasn't the only victim.
Varley: “She bit jrb_actor. She bit him in the stomach. She put her hands around the neck of Matt_G, and you know, started to choke him.”
Phillips: “And you? What did she do to you?”
Varley: “Beat me and hit me everywhere.”
