Patricia Driscoll lashed out
at former boyfriend Kurt Busch Wednesday, saying the former NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series champion is in a fragile mental state mentally and is in need of
psychiatric counseling.
Driscoll’s written statement
came after Busch testified in Kent County (Del.) Family Court that he believes
his former girlfriend is a trained assassin who has killed foreign drug lords
using guns, knives and poison.
In testimony earlier this
week, Busch said Driscoll once return to their El Paso hotel room wearing a
trench coat over a night gown splattered with blood and other physical matter,
and had previously shown him cell phone photos of bullet-ridden corpses she
claimed to have killed.
Driscoll called Busch’s testimony
“fiction,” saying his stories were taken from a motion picture screenplay she
is writing.
"Over the past seven
years I have worked on a movie script… about a female CIA operative and her
work on classified missions for the U.S.,” wrote Driscoll. “Mr. Busch has seen
and given commentary to me on the latest script (and) some of the stories he
told on the stand are straight from the script. Mr. Busch's statements in court
serve to confirm my belief that he needs professional counseling.”
Driscoll accuses Busch of
choking her and slamming her head against the wall of his motorhome at Dover
International Speedway on Sept. 26. Busch denies these allegations, saying he
simply cupped her face in his hands while asking her to leave. He has
characterized Driscoll as vindictive, unwilling to accept the end of their
relationship and determined to destroy his racing career.
Driscoll denied those charges
Wednesday, saying, “Since Day One, I have stood by my statements that my motive
was not greed, but in fact concern for the man I loved.”
She also repeated an earlier
assertion that Busch is an alcoholic who suffers from depression and other
psychological issues.
"I have previously shared
my concerns for Mr. Busch's mental state since the onset of this case, only to
be dismissed by his legal team,” she wrote. “Perhaps now his family and those
around him recognize his fragile state and will provide him the mental health
care and support he needs.
“He clearly believes fiction
is reality, and that's all the more reason he needs help.”
A ruling is expected on
Driscoll’s request for a non-contract order against Busch within the next 2-3
weeks, after Commissioner David Jones reviews closing summations from both
sides.
Busch could still face
criminal charges, as the Delaware Attorney General reviews a report filed by
the Dover Police Department.
I can not say for sure what happened in this situation - but when this is over -you can count on 1 thing. Kurt Busch will be involved in another incident that doesn't conform to society
ReplyDeleteAnd she doesn't need psychiatric help. Based on her friends testimony I'd say she could stand a bit of it herself.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why the Delaware Attorney General would get in involved in this case. Normally the local District Attorney or in Virginia's case, a local Commonwealth's Attorney, prosecutes criminal cases.
ReplyDeleteDidn't this start out as a domestic Violence case? She said she was abused by Kurt Busch, her head slammed against a wall and she suffered abrasions…this has turned into a Greek Tragedy and she is the playwright.
ReplyDeleteIn one respect, you have to say Kurt is genius for taking her down with him. She has exposed him in a not so surprising light, he had to testify, and she put him in that position, she obviously was trying to manipulate the outcome of their breakup with the charges filed so he has exposed her by introducing her to a larger audience. People will be scrutinizing her due to her media play that she started.
Do you think Kurt thought she was a trained assassin? If my GF walked into the house with a bloodied gown and her alibi is that she was a trained assassin and just came back from a mission….I would have to say, I’ll be right back. Get my clothes, burn my id and cell phone and get on a plane then join the witness protection program. What a bunch of BS. I do not believe Kurt thought she was….not for a second. And stayed with her? C’mon.
It sounds to me she was a braggart, a fool and a BS artist… She obviously has some character flaws of her own….. This is what a tit for tat looks like with two idiots.
If she is testifying in congress on important matters, I hope someone would reconsider this. I hope for the child’s sake, someone is looking after his needs. He really is an innocent victim of all of this Drama.
But let me get to my real point….where’s the “know it all” congress woman that wanted NASCAR to take this stuff more seriously? She is passing laws….I hope her constituents are following this…she jumped on a bandwagon of BS…she is a fool. Is anyone questioning her capacity as a lawmaker? This is why we have a judicial system…..to let this foolishness play out.
