WEILAND: 'FAMILY FIGHT WAS BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION'
25/06/2007 22:09
Rocker SCOTT WEILAND has slammed the media for turning his recent hotel fight with his wife into a big deal when it was little more than another family argument. The Velvet Revolver star's model wife Mary trashed a Burbank, California hotel suite after a March (07) fight with her husband and was later arrested on arson charges after setting fire to Weiland's clothes outside the couple's Toluca Lake, California home.
Mary has since blamed an imbalance in medications used to treat her bipolar disorder for the headline-making row.
And now her husband, who is also battling a diagnosed bipolar disorder, has come forward to slam those who turned a medical issue into tabloid news. He tells Spin magazine, "The problem is, if someone is not properly medicated, when real emotional things happen, it can trigger situations you can't really control. "My wife and I are both really passionate people, and that stuff about the clothes burning - all of that was basically just a bad week. And the media blew it out of proportion. "Every married couple has bad days... only with most people, it doesn't end up in the news."
But Weiland insists he and his wife are as happy as they've ever been: "We've been living together for over nine years, and we've been married for seven. We love each other more than anything else in the world."
