the gossip I read said that Mom and Sister fall into the "dysfunctional" side of the family and rumor is they may have pushed him over the edge. Another person said he was charged with "verbal assault" (wth??)
anyway, I also found out that Gloria Steinem is his stepmother. His father died a few years ago.
Apparently Britain has laws against verbal assualt, two differant categories. First is for like swearing at people, and the other is for actually threatening them with physical violence.
From what I've read, he posted bail, but wasn't charged. The story also said he "pushed past" his mother to leave, but didn't actually "attack" her. His mother claims she didn't call the police over the matter, but she was more then happy to let them deal with it. She sounds like a nutball though.
