Celebrity Justice
"Runway" Star Jailed for Cat-astrophic Assault

Posted Mar 18th 2009 2:38PM by TMZ Staff

Kenley CollinsOne of the most memorable -- and hated -- finalists from "Project Runway" is behind bars right now for allegedly fashioning a weapon out of a living, breathing, meowing cat ... and firing it at her ex-fiance!

Kenley Collins -- the trash-talking, third place loser from P.R. Season 5 -- was arrested in a Brooklyn home early yesterday morning, after the D.A. claims she attacked her sleeping ex-fiance with anything she could get her hands on -- including a cat, a laptop, several apples and finally ... water. It's like a design challenge turned violent!

It's unclear what started the fight, but according to legal papers Kenley told her ex, "You're lucky ... it could've been a lot worse."

Kenley was arrested and charged with six crimes -- including 2nd degree assault, 3rd degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon in the 4th degree.

No word on when Kenley is set to be released from jail.

19. Yes, I was more worred about the cat myself. She definitely had some issues on PR. She was really into her victimhood.

21. Why didn't she get felony domestic assault charges? M.Vick is in prison for hurting animals, and Chris Brown is getting raped by the media for beating a bitches ass and "threatening" her. I guess if you are white female you only get 2nd and 3rd degree assault charges.... justice huh!

22. I hope the cat is O.K and safe from that looney how sick is that.

23. I hate that cow. And #21, you're an idiot. Crawl back under your rock now. Vick is in prison for breaking federal law (duh, dumba$$, dog fighting is illegal in this country) and Brown, well, his bitch ass is gonna get a beat down soon. BTW, moron, those charges ARE felony charges.

28. This woman is evil. Positively vicious. Hope her "career" - such as it is - is over now. And why wasn't she charged with animal cruelty?? Throw the freakin' book at the nutcase.

29. Kenley... what kind of name is that? Did your Dad want a gay boy and instead turned you into a 'Thing"??

Oh Kenley, the justice of Karma is eterna!!!


Kenley.. Competative queen bitch from hell your are. So glad to see you in jail.

30. To #3;
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing! No animal should be used as weapon. Someone should take that cat away from before she really does some harm!
