Today's Evil Beet Gossip

WHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY????

Nancy Kerrigan’s (that chick that got her ass whooped with a crowbar by one of Tonya Harding’s lackeys in the 90s) father was found dead yesterday, and get this: they think her brother did it. 70-year old Dan Kerrigan was found unresponsive in his Stoneham, MA home last night and so the family had him transported to Winchester Hospital, only to learn that he had passed away. Earlier that evening, Dan had fought with Nancy’s brother Mark, who is 45 years old. Definitely too old to be killing your father, for the record.

Now Mark has been charged with abusing an elderly person and causing serious bodily injury (aka “death”), although he has not been charged for murder. According to People, the fight started over whether or not Mark could use the telephone. And that’s just about the saddest thing I’ve heard so far today. The Kerrigan family has creeped me out enormously since the get-go. I never minded that Tonya Harding tried to beat Nancy up because I probably would have wanted to beat her up, too. There’s something unsettling about these people even when you brush the whole “the son probably murdered the dad” thing aside.

  • Really Molls? An old man is killed by his son and to you that means it’s time to make jokes?
    I think maybe you need to piss off.

  • wow…you are okay with Tonya having someone try to break Nancy’s legs so she could not compete??? That was one of the most despicable I’ve seen in the world of sports. I guess because Nancy was so talented and beautiful and (maybe her family is weird) that it made what Tonya did seem reasonable to you.

    also…..spell check dear molls (eyes roll).

  • You are utterly tasteless. Do you really have NO clue what you should and should not snark about? I am utterly at a loss as to why Beet keeps letting you crap all over this website. Surely there is another available gossip blogger out there with enough class not to make cruel cracks about someone losing their father – possibly at their brother’s hands, no less – and might even be able to spell properly to boot. Beet, PLEASE…

    • Oh so you’re the one who gets to set the standard on what’s appropriate fodder to make fun of and what isn’t?

      Who do you think you are, the Monarch of Comedy? Are you one of those people who says ‘too soon’ and is serious about it?

      I’d love to see a photo of you in your crown you delusional fucker.

      • lmao, yessss!!!! I’m so sick of everyone preaching on this website like they own the damn thing, yeah you read it but it’s an entertainment blog not mandatory reading, if ya don’t like it, don’t read it

    • Not TRRRRYYYYING to be funny, Bleh. Sincerely don’t care for/have always thought something fishy was going down with the Kerrigan family. I admit in the post that there’s something very sad about this situation, but I also think that we need to think about the fact that this dude killed his dad over phone privileges at the age of 45. Past that being sad, it’s creepy. What is wrong with this family? Can we talk about that, too? Don’t feel pressure to respond today if it’s “too soon”, but let’s not act like the strangeness of the situation (in addition to Nancy’s notoriously shitty attitude) are not things people might want to mention.

      • Good, because you weren’t. Next time you’re thinking to yourself about how creepy or weird you think somebody is and are wondering when would be the right time to blather about it, maybe the day a son kills his father is not the best time.

      • You also state that you don’t mind Tonya trying to take out her competitor with a brutal beating – which shocked most people at the time – and say you would have done it too…the girl lost her father at her brother’s hands and you can’t help mentioning that you think it’s great that someone tried to break her knee to cheat at skating? The only thing I hate worse than your crappy posts and your total disregard for spelling is how you whine and complain when people post back that you were out of line. Not trying to be funny? “Definitely too old to be murdering his father, for the record.” Ha ha ha, cute. What is the age limit on patricide, exactly? If you weren’t trying to be funny, then that must have been a serious comment, so please illuminate when someone ISN’T too old to kill their father?

        Own up to what you write. Talking down to your readers like they just don’t “get” you is condescending, especially since we are the ones who usually catch and correct your glaring spelling, grammatical, or factual errors.

      • The headline for this article has long been a punchline for the entire knee beating episode. The fact that you used it to announce the death of somebody’s father is beyond tasteless, and is the very definition of joking about a situation.

        punchline = joke.
        every time.

      • The Kerrigan family tragedies aside, I am kinda symptathetic to Tonya and her kooky, kooky crew.
        Didja ever see the ESPN ad where she’s a checkout person at a grocery store, and someone in line makes a crack at her, and when he’s leaving she hucks a slab of meat at the back of his head? I love that.

      • i agree! what the fuck is wrong with u people, this is a gossip site, and if you dont like it, dont read it. everyone just get off your high horse. i think u were funny molls, unintentionally funny.

      • I was thinking the same thing.

        I think Molls is doing a fantabulous job. She’s snarky and I love it!

        Great writers are going to rustle feathers. That is what they are supposed to do.

        You keep doing what you’re doing, Molls. There are many of us out here that love ya!

      • Wow, this is the unbelievable, well not really as the world is full of unsympathetic assholes anyway. There is/was nothing WRONG with Brenda or Dan Kerrigan. I’ve kinown Nancy and her family since 1st grade. So maybe you don’t like her.. that’s your choice. Creeped you out why/how? Do you know them personally? I do. I can tell you that they were loving parents who were always there for their kids and the community. You’d try to take her out why? Because she’s dedictated her life to something and worked hard from a very young age to get there? Perhaps you’re jealous of her? Get a life and a grip.

  • It’s another henious ‘greasy-bear’ loser heir stockholm-syndrome with the rich and cruddy caregiver parent; always meddling in the child’s career and life, comparing them with the child who does win awards, fame and fortune, berating and kicking them for a thrill..

  • Good grief this blog has gone to shit. What a tacky, insensitive posting. This woman has just lost her Dad at the hands of her brother. Hey I know – let’s goof on her some more!

    After being a regular reader and sometimes poster, I am officially outta here.

    Thanks for the memories.

  • OMG Molls you are so pathetic. It amazes me that continue to make these posts that show what an evil black hearted person you are.
    I feel bad for your parents.
    Someone’s parent was murdered use some decorum.

    • are u kidding me???????? THE SON just killed his father, not molls! it is sad, but i bet u don’t come in this website just to read fucking eulogies. and it is weird when a 45 year old man kills someone because of a phone, why can’t we discuss that? you are pathetic. how u like that?

      • Man you people are dim.
        Going to a gossip site that mocks attention seeking celebutantes and people who should have never been given 15 minutes of fame is one thing. Mocking someone who’s parent was allegedly murdered by there brother is just pathetic.
        What makes this whole post even more pathetic is the face that the biggest douche on the planet (Perez Hilton) reported what happened respectfully. I my eyes that makes Molls a bigger douche then Perez…

        Oh and I don’t give a sh!t if you think I’m pathetic this it the internet it’s full people with unintelligent thoughts.

  • okay everyone – can we talk about the most important part of the story? i LIVE in winchester, ma. I can walk to that hospital. as a full-time resident of a small town I feel it is entirely appropriate to brag about this today.

    • Hey Magpie or should I call you mudpie… Big whoop, you live in Winchester (which btw sucks) NOT Stoneham.. Brag that a person died?? You’re sick… Maybe if you knew them personally you’d feel a hell of alot different.

  • I don’t Molls will mind if we laugh our asses off when her dad dies. Surely she’s down with that, and I can’t wait.

    • “I don’t Molls will mind…” not only are you an ignorant buffoon, but a poor typist as well.

      • “think” was left out of the post, sorry. speaking of thinking, maybe you should do a bit of it before typing you stupid anus. someone needs to stick their dick in your perfectly round mouth and shut you the fuck up.

  • molls said “There’s something unsettling about these people even when you brush the whole “the son probably murdered the dad” thing aside.”

    I’m not what you are referring to. I’m a huge skating fan and remember reading that Nancy’s brother has some mental health problems. That would explain why someone would lose it over using the phone. My nephew is mentally ill and he goes nuts over the smallest things sometimes.

    I’m not gonna criticize Molls, I chose to read the web site and can always filter past the ‘it’s personal’ posts verses the ‘just gossip’ posts.

  • so you ramble about how the kerrigan family has always bothered you, but why? you just felt like putting that out there, as an excuse for bashing this family the day they lost someone? ugh.

    and the title, again making fun of her reaction to being attacked … i mean, she lost her father. even you ladies have to have some shred of decency somewhere.

  • I swear the more I read people’s comments on this website the more frustrated I feel, it’s an effin gossip blog, what the hell are you expecting, jokes will be cracked! Ohhhh no! Not a joke!!! If it’s that much a problem skip over the shit you don’t want to read and get over it. Hey Molls, I hope you’re getting paid good money to write for this website because dealing with so many douche bag commenters with no sense of humor would make me want to quit!

    • I guess if comments weren’t welcome this site would be closed to them. So those who find this post disgustingly callous have the same right to comment as the Molls’ asskissers.

      • Of course people have the right to comment, I dont doubt that, but I thought the reply section was for comments on the actual topic at hand, not the fact that people dont like how Molls or whoever the case may be writes or approaches a topic.

      • well last time i checked Molls didn’t write something like “OH SHE DESERVED IT!” Yeah i wouldnt have gone that route and said some crazy shit about her family but that’s her writing style, that’s why she got the job for this website. And by the way go fuck yourself, you MORON

      • And let me clarify for you that i meant she never said that Nancy deserved for her father to die at the hands of her own brother, in case you have another tittie attack and bother me some more.

  • “Earlier that evening, Dan had fought with Nancy’s brother Mark, who is 45 years old. Definitely too old to be killing your father, for the record.” – Molls

    The question I was left with: what is the appropriate age at which to kill one’s father?

  • Seriously? Beet, is this really the way you want this site to go? I happily skip the post by Molls, but when even the title is THAT tasteless it’s hard not to be disappointed.

  • Kind of a weird sidenote- maybe 10-15 years ago an US olympic pairs or dance couple- ice skating- had a similar thing. The girl’s brother murdered his father just days before the Olympics.

    Another sidenote- this is a really nasty and disrespectful bit.
