"Bachelor" Byron Gets His Ass Kicked

Byron Velvick, star of "The Bachelor" season six, was attacked by the woman he picked to marry on the show.
Mary Delgado
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department, Mary Delgado punched Byron, causing his upper lip to bleed. She was arrested in Tampa, Florida for alleged domestic battery.

The incident occurred Wednesday just after midnight. Cops say alcohol was a factor.

Ironically, the couple appeared this past Tuesday on "The Bachelor," following the rose ceremony and made it clear they were heading for the altar. Seems their plans may have just gotten altered.

Stay tuned.

46. To all of you who say take it like a man and let the woman abuse them. Are you people nuts?

A man strikes a woman he goes to jail. A woman does it, she should get off and all is forgotten oh ya and then there is sex? OH HELL NO....that dog doesn't hunt. You people are plain sick. Must be the house up on blocks crowd making these statements.

A dame slaps or punches me for no reason...her ass will be on the floor. No ifs,ands or buts. Oh yea, and forget the sex, I would have lost my mood. Normal "sane" women do not use violence against someone they love. This goes the same for a man. I don't give a rats a$$ either intoxicated or not, you don't hit. No reason to do so, unless someone is trying to defend themselves.

47. PUBLICITY

We have to start being SMART AMERICANS, not DUMB ONES we are thought to be.

These celebrities will DO ANYTHING, to stay in the MEDIA.

I guess everyone's taking a cue from the rappers, who get arrested right before their albums drop.

PATHETIC.

49. Steve T, Enough of such bluster, get real not hypothetical theorhetical. The babes get freakin' MAD from time to time and the gents just need to take it, no hittin' back and no cryin' like a baby. especially not to the police, pul-leeze.

50. Dang, the more I think about it I actually feel for both of them. If they want the relationship to go on it will be hard now that their business is all out.

53. Montana, you and I would get along just fine. I like you already.

Steve T. How old are you anyway? Calling a woman a "Dame," who does that anymore? You'll find that term in the old Bogart/Flynn/Gable/Rat Pack films, which I happen to love.

54. Nothing says he called the cops. They could have been having a fight and a neighbor called, someone else in the house may have called, they could have been out in public and someone could have called.. I wouldn't jump on the fact that he called the police initially. I mean, he very well may have, but he might not have.

55. layla--unless you are layla ali, and the champion of the world, then you can smack me anytime, and i promise not to call the cops. please tell me you're not the boxer--oh hell with it, smack me anyway

56. No where does it say he called the cops. Probably neighbors heard the ruckus and called.

And, for all those who excuse violence saying "it must have been provoked," I guess then the next time you take my parking space or beat me to the last sale handbag, I can punch you in the face?

57. Note to the hags on here who howl that they should be able to hit people: Just because no account losers have allowed you to do that in the past, don't think that anyone - even of the toothless, trailer set - will marry you. No man wants to have children with a woman who is so psychotic he'll end up having to protect the kids from her.

You nutcases give other (normal) women a bad name.

58. A good point was made above about the fact that Byron may not have called the cops. NEIGHBORS call cops and women end up getting arrested when the woman's man took punch after punch yet just took it like a man. Sometimes, the WOMAN calls the cops when it's actually the woman doing the punching. Keep an open mind about what might have happened with Byron.

59. Wow, she looks like she'd be a joy to be around.

60. Alcohol was the factor- telling from those sacks under her "haven't slept in a year" eyes- more than that- no?
