Scott Weiland and Wife Trash Hotel Room in Bloody Fight

Posted Mar 25th 2007 4:00PM by TMZ Staff

Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland and his wife trashed a Burbank hotel room during a rockstar-caliber rampage last weekend, and now the hotel is pressing charges against the Weilands for the damage they caused.

Sources tell TMZ that Weiland and his wife Mary ripped alarm clocks and phones from their sockets and threw them, made "dents and gauges" in the walls, and that there was even blood found on some of the linens afterward. (A picture taken at the scene shows a note attached to a trash bag that says, in Spanish, "with blood.")

The trouble started when Mary arrived at the hotel Saturday, whereupon the couple got into "a huge argument" witnessed by their two young children, who had to be taken away by Weiland's assistant. Weiland himself then left, leaving behind Mary, who could be heard throwing things in the room. The police were called, and the hotel is pressing charges for the damage caused. There's no word whether either Weiland or his wife were injured in the spat.

Weiland pleaded guilty to domestic violence charges against Mary in December 2001 and was sentenced to probation and forced to pay a fine.

Scott Weiland's Wife Arrested for Torching Wardrobe

Posted Mar 26th 2007 2:43PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Celebrity Justice

The wife of Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland was arrested this weekend after cops say she torched the rocker's $10,000 wardrobe in front of the couple's home in Toluca Lake, Ca.

According to police, 31-year-old Mary Weiland was booked for investigation of felony arson vandalism after cops responded to a "female burning clothes" call late Saturday evening.

The couple's two kids were placed in the custody of family friends.

Weiland was booked at a Burbank police station just after midnight Sunday morning and was released after posting $50,000 bail three hours later.

The arrest came only hours after the couple was kicked out of the Graciela Hotel in Burbank following a ferocious argument that left Weiland's room in shambles and blood on the linens, as TMZ exclusively reported. The hotel is pressing charges against the Weilands for the damage they caused.

i guess they got owned then.

Wonder how much they will have to pay.

Weird story considering Scott was in Miami last weekend performing with Camp Freddy..

how does that make this story weird?

After seeing the pictures I think they exaggerated a bit when they said "they trashed" the room.

Well, it happened "last weekend" that would have the alleged incident happening Saturday, March 17 in Burbank California.  Scott was in Miami, Fl performing with Camp Freddy March 17.

Two places at once?

I thought Scott was a "rock star"? :-\

That hotel room is nowhere near trashed by "rock star" requirements.

Lame.  Trashed with wife?  Kids taken away? 

Room doesn't look "that" bad.  I hope he is okay.  I hope his wife is good too.  I hope this a misunderstanding. 

On the bright side, the album is finished and should be out soon.  So that is good I guess.

That is kind of the main idea behind this news. New Album. Publicity sells album. Rock N Roll behavior sells Rock album.

Scott explains:

OK I have had it with this poseur.......he can't dance, he can't sing, and now he can't even Trash a room?????

Christ on a Pony, I've seen worse........


WC

It's a bit of a shame really.

What is it with vocalists and beating women?  :-\

Well, VR has a new album coming, they have to be "the world's most dangerous band" again ...

The version of the story that I heard was that it was the wife who trashed the room.

It's sad that this (and probably worse) is the kind of family environment that children have to live in.? :no:?

Who the hell said he beat anyone???

March 25th, 2007
Concerning the recent news story:
My wife locked herself in the adjoining room when that damage was done. I want to make it clear that I called security when I heard the glass being broken from next door. Security was unable to enter until she let them in. I sent my children off to a safe place with my assistant (who witnessed all of the events of the evening, until my wife locked herself in the room), and I left the hotel in order to avoid conflict with my wife.

Fights happen-the blood is a concern, I just hope Scott stays clean

Yeah based on those photos they really trashed the room. That dent in the wall is huge and the over turned matresses, give me a break. This is just the frikin tabloids trying to make this into something it isn't.

I guess it was slow weekned in the lohan/spears world

Well something apparently happened. Not sure what but Scott acknowledged that there was some kind of altercation by the statement that he released.

?t apparently is very hard for people to look a few post up? :hihi:

(Not refering to you Tomass)

Oh I'm sure they had a heated arguement, a phone or glass might have been thrown, but Scott has to do some damage control b/c of these god damn tabloids.

Just look at the title, "Scott Weiland and Wife Trash Hotel Room in Bloody Fight", when chances are the blood is possiblly from a cut finger, not what this stupid tabloid are implying.

And I'm guessing that he called security for her own safety. Because as I'm sure alot of us  know that when your in a arguement with your girlfriend/wife the last person they will listen to is you.

I'm with Deadhorse on this one.  It sounds like they had a normal argument like any couple, but it happened to be in a public place and the tabloids latched onto it for lack of anything better to exaggerate.

read the comments people have made lower down on that site

typical tabloid readers; complete knee-jerk reactions - "Won't somebody please think of the children!"

and tbh the bed being on its side means nothing, for all we know the authorities upturned it to check for glass etc. and just left it there

the room looks seriously trashed ::)

and i highly doubt they`d throw a bed around during an argument :hihi:

 :hihi: ...yeah, he could have least thrown the TV out of the window and killed someone with it  ;D

yeah i feel so sorry for those kids, children of a rockstar and dont have to worry about a thing for the rest of their life

Just because they were born into a situation where they will always be set financially doesn't mean that it isn't extremely traumatic when their parents have a serious physical fight, (screaming and breaking things, I don't mean that Scott was beating his wife or vice versa). Parents just shouldn't do that to their kids plain and simple. Their kids are still very young so it was probably very scary for them.

http://www.tmz.com/2007/03/26/scott-weilands-baby-light-his-clothes-on-fire/

Jesus, she must be pissed :hihi:

  looks like Scott will be spending some nights on the couch. Wonder what the fuck he did...forget to take the garbage out.

To incite that kind of rage it sounds like he could have started using drugs again or been caught with another woman. And to think that some people here try to downplay the situation and believe that nothing much happened.

People didn't say that nothing happened they said that it was all blown out of proportion by the tabloids which the incident at the hotel was...

I just read another article that said Mary is a suspect in the hotel vandalism but Scott isn't.

How do you know that it was blown out of proportion? Sounds to me that Mary's seriously on the rampage. Burning a bunch of clothes in the front yard is a pretty extreme act if you ask me.

ahaha, my room looks more trashed that that, thats nothing. haha lame article now ive checked the pics

just look at the pictures? I would hardly call that a rampage....

I mean look at the article title Scott Weiland and Wife Trash Hotel Room in Bloody Fight now that's blowing things out of proportion if you ask me....

So the punishment is gonna be to make the bed and put a bit of filler on the wall then paint 2 square inches? What a load of bollocks. If thats considered a "rock star calibre" trashing then this must be one classy publication.

Ohhhh, ok gotcha. I was thinking of the wrong weekend.

He also could have done absolutely nothing of the sort.

Key phrase in all the above? ?Could have.. ::)

Maybe let the story develop a bit before you throw out the "drug" or "another woman" allegations..

It looks as though it happened March 24, not the 17th as I'd believed from the original TMZ article.

Apologies for any confusion.

Scott has one good looking wife! No wonder he would 'fall to pieces' without her.
Marriages have ups and downs. If the kids  were there it was not  too bad of a fight.
Besides, that is what rock stars do, they are all spoiled immature brats at heart.

I'm not exactly saying that it was one of those two things it's just that it must have been something really serious to put her in such a rage. But you're right, I don't know what happened. Just speculateing I guess.

Same story from BBC news......

I wonder what Scott did.. but it can't be any good  :smoking:

Let's hope it's not drugs again.

Well, it's safe to say it's not because he forgot to pick up a quart of milk.  If a woman goes mental like that, he did something baaaaaaad. 

what a bad boy...

And now there's more, apparently...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6498581.stm

It's still all speculation whether it's a quart of milk or something as mentioned above.

However, the following (from the story Jarmo posted above) leads me to believe there's more to story than just Mary freaking out:

"The couple's two kids were placed in the custody of family friends."

Not exactly sure what California law states considering domestic flare ups and guardianship of minor children but I wonder why the kids weren't remanded to Scott's custody with no charges against him pending?

I actually read an article regarding this event that said the kids did go with Scott after Mary set fire to his clothes.

haha did she burn all his girl size xtra small Ramones t shirts?

Any woman who burns your clothes has just caught you cheating.

"Nothing worse than a woman scorned".

SCOTT WEILAND's Wife Says Her 'Bipolar Disorder' Is To Blame For Weekend's Events

VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland's wife Mary has issued a statement regarding the reports that she was arrested on Sunday (March 25) after she allegedly set her husband's $10,000 wardrobe on fire outside their home in Toluca Lake, California. Cops responded to a "female burning clothes" call late Saturday evening (March 24) and booked Mary Weiland for suspicion of felony arson vandalism. The couple's two children were placed in the care of family friends. Mary was booked at a Burbank police station and released on $50,000 bail three hours later.

Mary Weiland's statement reads as follows:

"With regards to this past weekend's events, it's important to my husband and I that the reports regarding domestic violence, as well as our children's safety, contain facts and not speculation.

"The weekend's difficulties were brought on by a reaction to an imbalance in medications used to treat my bipolar disorder. Reports that we were fighting at the Graciela Hotel are untrue. Scott was simply trying to help calm me down. I want to make it very clear that he did not hurt me in any way. For lack of a better expression, I was unstable and just 'lost it.'

"Payment for the damages to the Graciela Hotel has already been made. The gracious staff and management have accepted our apologies and welcome us back in the future.

"Most importantly, neither of our children were witness to any of these events and they have been in the care of a family member. Scott and I are very involved in our children's lives on a daily basis and we love them unconditionally. We appreciate all your concerns and how supportive people have been.

"After nearly seven years of marriage I am truly grateful to have a loving husband, drug-free for 3-1/2 years now, who is able to care for me during this challenging time.

"We ask that you refer to this statement for the facts and depend on no other source."

Scott Weiland previously pleaded guilty to domestic violence charges against Mary in December of 2001. He had to pay a fine and was put on probation.

The couple had also been estranged over Weiland's drug use a few years back, with Mary Weiland reportedly beginning divorce proceedings before the two reconciled. Weiland recently told Launch that he's successfully stayed clean for the last several years. "Last few years have been great. I mean, I don't really feel the necessity to, or the responsibility to ? you know, it's been over three and a half years for me, so, I mean, that's all that I feel like I really need to say," he said.

That explains it.

I guess Reporting half truths and falsehoods against Scott is perfectly ok though. ::)

well, he is a fraud.

funny how whenever a statement is made from VR its "the facts" 

those same mother fuckers... nevermind.

Thanks, FunkyMonkey.

Good to have things cleared up. Now for the album and the tour!  : ok:

JImBob

For one, Scott's WIFE came out and said what happened and that sounds very reasonable and considering Scott isn't behind bars or charged with any crimes proves that this is what happened.


I know u are tryin your best to make this an Axl vs Scott thread, So Im not even gonna go into why no one ever believes a word Axl says as it pertains to the release of CD.

If what she is saying is the truth, then why didn't Scott come out with this story when he posted the message on his website? And why does it contradict what he said? He said the kids saw part of the fight in the hotel room, she says they didn't. Why 2 different stories?

Well there has to be more to this story than Mary's saying. Scott obviously did something to make her go ballistic like that. Her bi-polar disorder is most likely the reason she reacted in such a drastic way but still something set this woman off.

Maybe Scott didn't feel it was his place to tell the ENTIRE world that his wife suffers from Bi Polar??


Thats not something u would want everybody in the universe to know and that would be HER decision to let people in on that.

The blood on the linen was probably her blood after she broke a glass it probably sliced her finger or something.


Maybe they had an argument, WOW u mean to tell me a wife and husband actually have arguments? Are u fuckin kiddin me? A Rock Star isnt a human being though, I forgot, he isnt allowed to have everyday stress and problems that regular married people have, How stupid of me. ::)

Last I checked that still isnt in the same league as beating up a chick cause u stubbed your toe coming to tell them something.



Why do we believe Scott and his wife whereas we never believe Axl?


Well Scott really hasn't lied or mislead us yet, his wife and he released prompt statements almost immediately after the incident. Scott wrote a letter explaining things to everyone which he didn't have to. That is his personal business and none of the fan's business but he still let us in on it.


Axl, Mr The album is tentatively scheduled for March 6th We would like to assure the fans that everything in our power will be done to meet this date. Once it is finalized and official, you will be notified. If we are delayed for unseen reasons, you also will be notified as soon as possible in regard to a new date, and the album will be released as shortly thereafter as is possible. We thank you for your patience.


Someone please show me the letter from Axl explaining why March 6th wasnt met?


No one believes a word Axl or anyone from GNR camp says cause they've given us NO reason to believe anything after all these years.

So comparing SCott's domestic situation to Axl is ridiculous cause its not the same thing at all.

What does Axl have to do with Scott and Mary?

EXACTLY


Jim joe Jack Bob up there tried to get cute sayin how we believe Scott blah blah blah but with Axl we dont and i was explaining why that is.

This is silly how you guys have made this into a Scott V Axl thing again.


Off topic so I won't say too much on the matter. But didn't Del James release a comment on the GN'R site giving an update on the fact that there were scheduling delays (or something I can't remember) and that the album is done and now in mixing or something?

Although no date, seems like an update on any delay to me.

Jim Bob did it, he said we take everything VR says as facts but the same motherfuckers never mind. Basically saying the same people dont believe Axl.


Last I checked Del James isnt Axl and After all these years I dont believe even Axl but its not cause we are haters or non GNR fans etc. Its cause Axl hasnt given us much to have faith about these last 10 years or so.? When the album hits the shelves, i will believe, not before.

Honestly, I dont really check the velvet revolver part of the message board here, but this is big news around the world.  i just heard about this on cnn.com.

 Weiland's wife: Bipolar disorder caused meltdown
POSTED: 10:36 a.m. EDT, March 29, 2007
Story Highlights
? Scott Weiland's wife says bipolar disorder caused problems
? Mary Weiland wrecked hotel room, burned husband's clothes
? She was arrested after latter incident; couple has paid hotel


LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Scott Weiland's wife said an imbalance of medications for bipolar disorder caused rowdy behavior that left hotel rooms trashed and led to her arrest for allegedly torching the Velvet Revolver rocker's clothes.

Burbank police said the couple argued Saturday afternoon at the luxury Graciela Hotel, leaving two rooms damaged. Mary Weiland was later arrested for allegedly burning her husband's clothes outside their Toluca Lake home, investigators said.

"The weekend's difficulties were brought on by a reaction to an imbalance in medications used to treat my bipolar disorder," she said in a statement released Tuesday by the couple's spokeswoman, Bryn Bridenthal.

"Reports that we were fighting at the Graciela Hotel are untrue," she said. "Scott was simply trying to help me calm down. I want to make it very clear that he did not hurt me in any way."

"For lack of a better expression, I was unstable and just lost it," she said.

Weiland, 31, was booked for investigation of felony arson vandalism after officers responding to a "female burning clothes" call Saturday night found a trash can full of smoldering clothes, Sgt. Mathew Ferguson said.

The 39-year-old rocker told police his wardrobe was worth $10,000.

"After nearly seven years of marriage I am truly grateful to have a loving husband, drug-free for 3 1/2 years now, who is able to care for me during this challenging time," Weiland said in her statement.

Prosecutors haven't filed arson vandalism charges, the district attorney's office said Wednesday. Police said it would be up to Graciela Hotel officials, who have declined comment, to press for a vandalism prosecution.

Mary Weiland said apologies and payment for damages had been made.

"Payment for the damages to the Graciela Hotel has already been made. The gracious staff and management have accepted our apologies and welcome us back in the future," she said.

Great PR for the new album.

You can't pay for this kind of stuff.

Yeah, it's only PR just like biting a leg of a bodyguard. Like they'd sell plus copies thanks to this shit and cancelling shows.  ::)  I guess you think bands that release albums are only interested in money making while true artists ain't put out anything.

No it's just kind of a coincidence that they have a new album coming out and suddenly they're in the press again.


Something happening to Axl whilst he's on tour and already in the public eye, is slightly different.

Dont be coy about it - was it a lie?  Staged?  What are some possibilities?

Or is this another example of a poster/moderator who doesnt like the band very much and feels compelled to question or criticize everything that pertains to it?

And sensational stories about musicians personal lives are only legitimate if that musicians on tour at the time?  Thats sound logic.  : ok:
