Liza Minnelli's bodyguard: "She hit me too!"

Maybe she should go up against Lennox Lewis! What a great fight that'd be...


BODYGUARD: LIZA MINNELLI HIT ME TOO

Liza Minnelli's karate-trained bodyguard has accused her of beating him as well as her estranged husband David Gest.
Gest is reportedly suing the singer for $10 million, alleging he suffered neurological damage after being on the receiving end of one of her violent outbursts.

Now minder Imad Handi claims he tried to stop Minnelli hitting Gest -- only to be beaten himself.

Handi claims one particular attack happened at London's Connaught Hotel on June 10, after recovering alcoholic Minnelli had been drinking.

Imad recalls, "She hit with a back-handed fist and I must confess it hit me so hard I took a step backwards. I have had people, men, kick the s-- and they didn't hit me that hard. Out of 10, she was a 6."

He adds that attacks on him were "absolutely drunk-induced," and that the next day "she was so sweet and forgot about the whole thing -- but she hit me that night."

What a bunch of fucking pussies.

Liza Minelli needs to be slapped for even marrying David Gest in the first place

[NuclearMisfit]

The bitch hit me too and then she belted into song afterwards! Who cares, they need to stop trying to grab for publicity and just go away and live with Michael Jackson. Maybe she was just trying to test the bodyguards judo chop skills and he just failed the test?

[WildAndCrazyguy]

Maybe Minnelli needs to hook up with Tom Sizemore. Then we would have a REAL Celebrity Deathmatch...

[Annie Hall]

DUDE. You're a BODYGUARD...Liza Minnelli hit you? You're supposed to be able to take on bigass mafia members in FIVES. Let alone one little drunken woman. We're not talking Marlon Brando, here, we're talking LIZA MINNELLI. If I were a bodyguard, and Minnelli had wailed on me, you can bet your ass I wouldn't be admitting to it. What do you plan to do now?

"I want to hire a bodyguard"
"I'm up for the job"
"...aren't...aren't you the dude Liza Minnelli beat up?"
"She hits really hard!" (stomps off)


:rolleyes:

My thoughts exactly. Christ.

First I couldn't believe David Gest. What kind of a wuss comes out whining because his wife can kick his ass?

And now...a fuckin' KARATE-trained bodyguard comes whining because the old, crumbling bitch whose body he's supposed to guard bitch slapped him like Shiva?

Gimme a fuckin' break, people!

Talk about a Natural Born Killer. Fuck, I can be a pussy, but not THAT much of a pussy.

David Gest ...is such a punk...he'd get beaten up by muppets. Why on earth did Liza marry him? Why did he marry her? Were they that desperate...or saw plain old dollar signs...??? LOL Hey, I'm not gonna lie...I'd marry Liza if the price was right!!!
:D

[Cheetara]

The Bodyguard is just looking for some money. I understand money talks but come on....to admit that you got your ass kicked by Liza... That's a new low... LOL

Reads like a punch line! :-) (yes, pun intended)
Between Scarface98.9, NuclearMisfit,
and WildAndCrazyguy I can't stop grinning.
thanks :-)

Whiff whiff... I smell a crock of bullshit here. Publicity whores these people are!

[Sugar Magnolia]

I think it's obvious Liza was trained by Tibetan monks. There's no way David Gest and a lowly bodyguard can beat a ninja. When looking at Liza, the cold, dark eyes of an assassin are clearly present...

[Tom Samborski]

This just further proves my point that Liza is an alien. Why? She used her powers to turn the men in her life into wusses.:D

[MacReady]

I'm gonna quote Jon Stewart on this one (althought I'm not completely accurate on this one):

I don't think there's a any conceivable amount of money that would get me to tell the whole world I got beat up by Liza Minnelli. This is a scenario I try to imagine in my mind: Liza hits me, tells me 'go ahead, sue for 10 million' and this would be my response:'touchè'.

Well, it's pretty sucky the way I present it but Jon made it really funny. It's basically how I feel about this whole situation.

[A Canadian ThereWolf]

This whole story reads like a line right out of The Gods Must Be Crazy II:
"She hit me too, damn near killed me!" :D
