One week after tossing her tampon at a McDonald's drive-thru employee, a 27-year-old Australian reportedly says that she has "pretty much lost everything."
The Noosa Magistrates Court sentenced Rebecca Leigh Crimmins to community service following the incident, which also led the aspiring model and bartender to lose her job and severely damage her reputation, The Courier-Mail reports.
Crimmins and some colleagues had just left work on Oct. 25 when they made a 3 a.m. visit to a McDonald's drive-thru, and decided to play a joke on the attendant after the food arrived.
"Oh, what's this in my fries?" Crimmins yelled, according to prosecutor Leanne Chawner explains.
Crimmins allegedly took the wet tampon -- which her lawyer claims she dipped in a lime cordial mix -- and proceeded to dab the women's hygiene product on the McDonald's employee's hand.
"The victim saw the wet tampon and ran to the sink to wash his hands when two witnesses claim they saw the offender throw it at his back, but it missed and splattered on the fridge," Chawner said.
The aspiring model was admittedly intoxicated during the incident and has no "recollection of touching the complainant's hand but accepts it happened," according to her attorney.
And while the tampon tosser says that people are overreacting, the victim doesn't seem so forgiving.
"She deserves everything she gets," Luke Clareburt told The Courier-Mail. "She's got no one to blame but herself."
In a message posted to her Facebook profile, Crimmins called out the media and defended her actions.
"In my defense ppl, the media have blown the whole 'tampon' incident way out of proportion. It was nothing but a prank that was in no way, shape, or form intended to be assulting as the tampon was clearly green!! If it were not for a defamatory and untrue newspaper article that was written none of this exposure would have come about. Cannot believe where some ppl get off when they do not have their facts straight!! Wowza the media really do twist the truth!!"
Crimmins pleaded guilty to common assault and is sentenced to 60 hours community service.

I do see where something like this would be considered extremely nasty and sickening. But it wasn't like the tampon was all red or anything... It was green. Maybe because i'm a girl I can understand where she's coming from. It was a joke... But maybe the guy she did it too was traumatized from the whole ordeal??? Who knows? But I do think everything was taken a bit overboard, especially the part where she lost her job. It wasn't like they tested the tampon and found that there were these horrible germs on it or something... Give the girl a break, she's got a drunken sense of humor!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to sound like a jerk, but what kind of guy does this? Is he really so meek that he's going to complain that the most attractive woman he's seen all day (or ever) did something like that, and take it to court? 9/10 guys would tell their buddies what happened AFTER they cleaned up the mess, and this specimen of masculinity just goes and skews the whole thing.
ReplyDeletePeople are (wimps). Every kid gets a trophy, everyone has allergies to everything to the point where kids can't bring PB&J to school, and trick or treaters in my neighborhood were out at 5 and done by 7! i told them all to come back after dark because it is (incredibly)(absurd) that they are such (wimps). I saw a group of no less than 10 adults, 2 generations! taking THREE kids trick or treating. It's overkill. Stop babying your kids. Slap them. Let them fall off a bike and hit their head. Let them drink from a hose. It happened to all of us, and we're doing pretty solid.
wow crazy story! Honestly i can't beleive the guy is blowing this all up. It was a prank and it happened a 3 a.m. clearly she was wasted and didn't know what the heck she was doing.He should of known that people get drunk and want greasy food afterwards. Yes, drunk people do stupid things, but this honestly was gross but not that bad.
