Kenley Says She Doesn't Throw Her Pussy Around

Project Runway finalist Kenley Collins tried to set the record about her reported cat-throwing incident straight. Last week, she was arrested for apparently assaulting her now ex-fiancee Zachary Penley by throwing with a number of items at him during an argument: A laptop, apples, and, yes, their cat Arlo (she also allegedly slammed a door on Penley's head). According to the Post, Collins said, "The story portrayed in the papers is false. The only reason why a cat was involved in this story is because when I first approached Zak, I was holding my cat and it was gently tossed onto my bed." The fashion designer's mom tells the Daily News, "Zak's cat, Arlo, was bothering her so she plopped him on a down comforter on the bed and told Zak to 'go feed him.' That's all there was to it." At any rate, we hope Arlo is okay—he is apparently staying with Penley while Collins is taking their other cat.

She sounds like a terrible pet owner and would probably make an even worse mother. I never feel bothered by my cat. Of course, she has me completely trained.

I would have used 'see you next teusday', but that's just me.

Dear Jen, I fully support your headline.

RoDogg-

Would this be the same young girls that read last week's Post cover story with the headline "PUSSY-WHIPPED"?

She didn't "throw her pussy around" she threw her fiance's pussy around, which is kind of confusing because he is himself, a pussy and I doubt that, being a Project Runway finalist, she could lift him, much less throw him around. As to the Kenley/Penley apellation, it's over so she can look forward to becoming the lovely Mrs. Marvin Finkelman when, after 30 years of schlepping in cruise ship lounges and theme bars in Orlando, she finnaly meets the real estate agent of her dreams and marries into a $612,000 fortune.

"finally" -oh you know..

Funny, I thought that word was degrading to women. Show a little bit more class and maturity Jen, remember that kids (young girls especially) could be reading this blog too! The title is just tasteless since it's a woman subject article.

... and who in the world still says "pussy cat" anyways? When people see that word today I'm sure they are not thinking of Garfield. Very vulgar on your part Jen. Young girls today need more role models, you're not one of them.

I'm flattered and heartened that you think I should be a role model for girls. But I put a cat camera on my cats so I can see what the world looks like from their perspective—is that necessarily normal behavior?

You should get a Nanny Cam next. This way you can see what they're doing while you see what they're looking at.

Jen, it looks like your Chicken Soup For The Clean-Minded, Ignorant Little Girl Who Reads News Blogs book will be met with some criticism. Why did you have to work blue?

If children are learning the meaning of that word from Gothamist, they're probably home schooled. The sooner they're broken out of their vernacular isolation chamber, the better.

It's a good thing they didn't get married: Kenley Penley is a terrible name.

Will we ever see a Gothamist post about this story where the same bad (and now very tired) joke doesn't get trotted out by somebody else?
