News > Chris Albrecht Loves Himself some Domestic Violence
May 9, 2007
The LA Times reports that Chris Albrecht, Chief Operating Officer at HBO, was arrested two days ago for beating his girlfriend in the parking lot outside their Vegas hotel room.
Albrecht was arrested at about 3 a.m. last Sunday when police broke up a fight between he and his unidentified girlfriend. They had just returned from De La Hoya/Mayweather fight, and evidently Albrecht had had a little too much to drink.
His PR guys drafted the typical apology letter: "I am deeply sorry for what occurred in Las Vegas this weekend and for any embarrassment it caused my family, the company I love, and myself," etcetera, etcetera. Albrecht has since taken a leave of absence to spend more time in AA>
Interestingly, though, he doesn't apologize to his girlfriend: the only possible explanation, therefore, is that she was totally asking for it.
That was a joke, by the way. Please don't sue us.
