Project Runway finalist Kenley Collins tried to set the record about her reported cat-throwing incident straight. Last week, she was arrested for apparently assaulting her now ex-fiancee Zachary Penley by throwing with a number of items at him during an argument: A laptop, apples, and, yes, their cat Arlo (she also allegedly slammed a door on Penley's head). According to the Post, Collins said, "The story portrayed in the papers is false. The only reason why a cat was involved in this story is because when I first approached Zak, I was holding my cat and it was gently tossed onto my bed." The fashion designer's mom tells the Daily News, "Zak's cat, Arlo, was bothering her so she plopped him on a down comforter on the bed and told Zak to 'go feed him.' That's all there was to it." At any rate, we hope Arlo is okay—he is apparently staying with Penley while Collins is taking their other cat.
