Visine Poisoning Roommate Pleads Guilty!
Remember Kristine Anzalone, the Long Island hairdresser who, inspired by Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers, tried to poison her roommate with Visine? For those just joining us, Anzalone was pregnant and sharing a house with her husband plus a roommate, Joseph Gentissi Jr., in North Bellmore, Long Island back in 2006.
Anzalone came to believe that Gentissi's cigarette smoking was harmful during her pregnancy, so she tried to drive him from the home by serving him iced tea spiked with an unknown amount of Visine. Whatever happened to leaving a dead rat in an unwanted roommate's bed?
Visine contains tetrahydrozoline, a chemical that constricts blood vessels, and Gentissi was soon admitted to the hospital with symptoms that included intestinal distress, vomiting, rectal bleeding, and difficulty breathing. But Gentissi still didn't take the hint, so, while he was away on a business trip, Anzalone allegedly used a metal cane to provoke Gentissi's pit bull into attacking and killing his Chihuahua. Though Anzalone never confessed to instigating the dog-on-dog murder, Gentissi always believed she had a hand in it. And after her friends blabbed about the Visine trick, he went to the cops.
So it all came full-circle yesterday when Anzalone, now divorced, pleaded guilty in exchange for three years of probation. She also has to pay $10,205.20 to cover Gentissi's medical bills, Channel 7 reports. Gentissi tells the Post that he never smoked around Anzalone and insists she was jealous because he'd go out drinking with her husband during her pregnancy, leaving her home alone: "It's not fair. This is a woman who tried to poison me. She should have been charged with attempted murder...She took it as a big joke. She set out to hurt me and she sure did."

Did her defense involve the emotional state of mind of a pregnant woman?
[ report this ]
even factoring in the emotional state during pregnancy, the fact that she's divorced now has to count for something.
even better? i bet her kid is the picture of health. oh, except his/her mom is a fucking psycho.
[ report this ]
seriously..the victim is right...If she wasn't a young pregnant blond haired GIRL she'd have been charged with attempted murder and would be in prision. No justice in LI.

she's cute, i'd hit that. (then run away)

Divorced already? What a surprise.

You mean we're NOT supposed to copy everything we see in movies?

The only thing Owen Wilson should inspire people to do is straighten their lives out.
[ report this ]
She kinda looks like Christina Applegate.

This is also like that episode of CSI with that hooker at the poker table.

This is typical of the justice system. This woman bahaves like a "sociopath", and all she gets is probation. WOW, Let's file that one under cruel and unusual punishment. It's no wonder criminals are more bold these days....with probation being used as punishment.

Now she's divorced? So Visine really does get the wed out.

Haha copying Wedding Crashers results in crazy bitches engaging in a case of Marriage Crashers

Crazy hair stylist? That never happens! :rolleyes:

I guess on of the reasons she got probation is the baby. Maybe she'll straighten out now that she lost her husband and is branded a felon, but I doubt it.

Well I'll be a hairdresser's uncle! A useless LI tramp now pays a useless LI lout 10,000 bucks and all she has to show for it is chihuahua blood on her cheap rug. I love it.

I can't help but wonder just what kind of mother she's turning out to be.
Couldn't she just have thrown him out? The lease couldn't have been under all their names.

That kid is going to be playground-taunted that his mommy is a chihuahua-murdering guido-poisioner. Is that fair?
[ report this ]
holy crap, take that kid away from that woman!
[ report this ]
And what did her lawyer say about this before she plead guilty?
So after killing a dog, poisoning a man so badly he went to the hospital with rectal bleeding and denying her actions she only gets probation?
Must be nice being a blonde.
[ report this ]
BTW, she got 3 YEARS OF PROBATION, not 3 months.
[ report this ]
Oops! Corrected, thanks.
