The plot thickens in Regis and Danny Philbin's father and son drama. Only last week Danny's estranged wife gave an interview to the National Enquirer claiming that Regis was ignoring his double amputee son, and that Danny was suicidal. Well the other shoe has dropped. This week Danny is the one talking to the NE, and his pointing the finger of blame directly at ex wife Judy.
According to Danny, Judy is a violent head case who is addicted to crystal meth. She has a $1000 a week habit and she usually got her drug money from her long suffering husband. When Danny refused to cooperate any further, Judy became desperate.
Determined to get drug money, Judy threatened Danny with violence. Now Danny is as mentioned a double amputee and confined to a wheel chair. He also weighs about 85 pounds. Allegedly Judy had told him that she had harmed other boyfriends. She'd supposedly gotten on ex in a head lock that she held for hours. Besides, if she didn't harm him, she knew people who would. She lead Danny to believe that if he didn't make with the loot and quick, she'd been sending some cold hearted bad asses around. Seemed that her generally idea was that Regis is a money bag without a bottom, and Danny was the way to get loot out of him.
Now Judy naturally denies this - not that she has ever harmed men but that she would ever harm Danny. Danny tells a different story. According to him Judy was yanked out of his home by police several months back and with a gun in her possession! This is probably why Danny had a restraining order sworn out against Judy. He swore out more too: in official court documents Danny states that "I have learned by her admission that she planned to blackmail and extort money from my father". As for Danny he is photographed in this week's NE siting side by side with his father as the pair beam happily at the camera.
These new allegations are taking things to the next level. Judy's allegations were highly embarrassing, and if true even damaging to Regis image and career. The counter claims are criminal. If any of them can be proven, then Judy could wind up serving some serious time behind bars. Since court documents have already been sworn out accusing Judy of criminal conduct, it looks like Team Regis is prepared to take this to the limit. These new allegation would explain why Danny reputedly sleeps with a baseball bat.
