According to the Post Chronicle Brian Giles is in trouble.
Padres outfielder Brian Giles is in a load of trouble after being sued $10 million by former girlfriend who he apparently beat and battered. According to reports his former girlfriend, Cheri Olvera, claims that Giles beatings resulted in a miscarriage while she was pregnant. Cheri Olvera alleges that they had a very abusive relationship and her reasons for staying with him was because he supported her.
I will never get this. Oh, I understand the frustration and the desire to just beat the shit out of someone, but the lack of control that makes men feel the need to slap around girls is just pathetic. I also will never understand how the justice system can make awards that are in such disparagingly large amounts compared when celebs are involved to what normally is placed on actions. If Brian Giles beating of Cheri Olvera is worth $10M then when Joe The Plumber smacks around Tina the Nagging Bitch he should be slapped with the same sort of penalties. I know the theory is because Brian Giles is a celeb with lots of money he should have to cough up a lot of money, but I still don’t think we should treat Cheri Olvera any different than Trina from the Trailer Park. If Cheri Olvera who chased after big money is awarded a huge settlement she should have to give ninety-five percent of it to a fund for battered and abused women and children.
