NHL Goalie Semyon Varlamov -- Allegedly Stomped GF's Chest, Dragged Her By the Hair | TMZ.com

Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov showed no mercy during his alleged attack on his girlfriend this week -- his GF not only told police he kicked her ... she says he stomped her, dragged her around by the hair ... then said he'd beat her more if he could.

The alleged domestic violence incident occurred on Monday -- according to the Denver police report, Varlamov came to his girlfriend's house and assaulted her, kicking her in the chest and knocking her down.

Once on the floor, his girlfriend claims he stomped her chest, then grabbed her hair and dragged her out of her bedroom.

Still holding her hair, the GF says Varlamov pushed her face to the floor and told her (in Russian) that if this were Russia, he would have beat her even more. It's unclear what, if anything, provoked the argument.

The GF was interviewed by police yesterday, and the detective observed bruising on the girlfriend's arm and hip.

An arrest warrant was subsequently issued for Varlamov, but he has already turned himself in to authorities. He has since been arrested.

Varlamov is currently being held without bond on charges of 2nd degree kidnapping (felony) and assault (misdemeanor).

if this is true, he's a real douchebag..

Typical American propaganda

Absolutely crazy.

Absolutely crazy.

If that account is accurate, sounds like he might be.


I did always kind of wonder why the Caps gave up on him so fast. Wonder if they had some inkling that he was unstable. Neuwirth and Holtby hadn't really shone through yet, and all they had was Jose three or four. Seemed odd to send him away at the time.

Well, of course. He's a pro athlete with access to lawyers and money most others don't have.

Should make for interesting chatter on ice and between teh benches



hey Patrick didn't realize you were teaching Varmy how to treat women as well as goaltending

The possibilities go on....

Off-hand, I'd say Semyon is in a bit of a sticky situation...

In Russia that is called honeymoon. Now make me borscht.

In Soviet Russia a dash cam would have captured this incident.

We liked Varly - but it wasn't his unstable mind that was the problem, it was his unstable body. He could never stay healthy. Apparently just being near him causes that now.

Pretty salacious charges. What a douche (if true...which it almost always is).

I agree with this - women tend to do these things so that they can get their 10 minutes of fame and $ out of it - Drew Doughty went through something similar last year when he was accused of r*pe - but nothing ever materialized there - now this case with Varly seems more serious from the out-set but we'll see what the results of this are

to be the devils advocate

the NHL teams lawyers and the NHL lawyers can make this happen with their money same with NFL, NBA and MLB... Im not saying you don't think this OR that this happened to Doughty but I just see that bolded point and think so much CAN be made go away right or wrong.

 

[pixburgher66]

Yeah, I'm sure this woman bringing criminal charges and getting a restraining order is just *lying* about an abusive boyfriend.


Yes there are women who try to take advantage of men with money and fame...but don't let the fact that he's a pro-athlete change things. The allegations are nasty, and if true he's a slime ball who deserves any jail time he gets.

Girlfriend: Semyon Varlamov kicked and stomped on me

Eugenia is interviewed here. Seems she's taking advantage of her access to the US government, and I don't blame her.

Being found "Not guilty" also does not equal "innocent".


I often wonder if the "B-B-B-But she could be lying for fame and fortune" crowd even takes a second to imagine how illogical it is. A woman faces unbelievable amounts of unjust scrutiny in a situation like this and it's pretty crazy to imagine that a woman would willingly put herself through it for any reason.

In fact, I'd bet the flip side of that coin is more true. That there are more incidents that happen that don't get reported because the woman doesn't want to face off against the offender's fame and their league and team resources.
