Story here. Excerpt:

'Kenley Collins, the catty, batty finalist on "Project Runway," really let the fur fly when she assaulted her now ex-fiancé with their pet feline in their Williamsburg apartment, authorities said yesterday.

The fashion designer, 26, was charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon the weapon being the cat itself for her crazed attack on Zak Penley, 28, prosecutors said.

"It was a miscommunication," Kenley told The Post after getting released without bail from Brooklyn Supreme Court yesterday morning. "Fights happen, and that's that.

According to sources, the fur began to fly at 7 a.m. when Collins cocked her arm and threw one of the couple's two cats Arlo or Sandra at Penley, who was sleeping at the time.

She then threw her laptop as he fell and crawled on the floor, cops said. She also allegedly slammed a door on his head.

As Penley dialed 911, Collins threw three apples at him and doused him with water, cops said.

"You're lucky, it could have been worse," Collins told Penley after the blow, according to sources.'

The story is written like it's some kind of running joke. I guess as long as the victim is male, it is.

This story was front page on the morning edition of the NY Post. I'm not kidding, the headline read -- 'Pussy Whipped'

How about one of us goes out and assaults our girlfriend or wife the exact same way? Let's see how they present that story... I'm sure they wouldn't consider it funny then, would they?
