Billy Bob Thornton’s estranged daughter, Amanda Brumfield, has been charged with first degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a one-year-old girl who died under her care, TMZ reports.
The woman told cops in October that the little girl died after a fall from her playpen, but now detectives say that story doesn’t work with the child’s injuries. According to an autopsy, the girl suffered a fractured skull and a subdural hematoma due to blunt trauma.
Billy Bob’s publicist told TMZ when the story first hit the news that the two haven’t spoken for “quite some time.”
Billy Bob Thornton tried to explain his crazy Canadian radio interview to Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday night.
“The fact that that was news was astounding to me, but it gave hump back geeks all over the world something to do for a couple days days… I do that all the time!” Thornton said. “It’s not the first time….”
Continued Thornton: “This woman said something she wasn’t supposed to say, and I said I received signals from Venus through a metal plate in my head…I told a DJ to kiss my ass, that’s all that happened.”
Earlier this month, the actor-turned-singer, 53 became belligerent during a radio interview when asked about his Hollywood career. The next day, he was booed while performing with his band, the Boxmasters, the opening act for Willie Nelson.
The band canceled their Canadian tour a few nights later “due to one band member and several of the crew having the flu.”
Billy Bob Thornton’s band has canceled its Canadian tour.
On Wednesday, the actor-turned-singer, 53, became belligerent during a Canadian radio interview when asked about his Hollywood career. The next day, he was booed while performing with his band, the Boxmasters. (See that interview here!)
The band was Willie Nelson’s opening act. A note posted on Nelson’s Web site Friday night said the Boxmasters were cutting their Canadian dates “due to one band member and several of the crew having the flu.”
On their own Web site, they said they planned to rejoin the tour on April 14 in Stamford, Conn., “after they’ve had time to recover.”
Holy crap! Billy Bob Thornton has lost his ever lovin mind!
Billy Bob Thornton transformed into a condescending, pompous jerkwad — live on the radio today — when the station DJ casually brought up Billy’s acting career.
See, Billy Bob has a band now … and he demands to be taken seriously — as in, Billy demanded that the radio host treat him like he would treat Tom Petty.
Seriously, Billy compared himself to Tom Petty.
It all went down today during a CBC interview – Jian Ghomeshi, the interviewer, introduced the band — including a few words about Billy’s film career — which caused Billy to become a massive d-bag for the rest of the interview.
You gotta watch it — unless you wanna continue to like Billy Bob.
