The 'Todd Beard is a psycho' story hasn't just grown legs, it's currently running a marathon. It wasn't bad enough that the news broke on mainstream gossip site TMZ, but now mainstream papers are covering the situation as well. And the more the press shakes Beard's closet, the more skeletons covered in shit keep falling out. Here's the latest on Beard's history and how it could affect their MMA promotion:
Couture's complaint also noted that Beard has a history of violence against women, allegations Beard's lawyer also denied.

Denise Zullo, with whom Beard has a daughter, has alleged in court that Beard has struck, intimidated or threatened her and has received court protection from him in the past.

In a December 31, 1997, request for a restraining order, Zullo testified that in the late summer of 1996, Beard punched her in the stomach while she was pregnant. She also testified that on May 13, 1997, she sprayed him with pepper spray to stop what she called “another of his violent, drunken outbursts.”

On Oct. 28 in Bellflower, Calif., Beard withdrew a not guilty plea and instead pleaded no contest to charges of criminal threats, in which Karlos Shaverdian alleged that Beard had threatened to kill him. Judge Charles Q. Clay III found Beard guilty and set sentencing for Jan. 28.

Beard served 30 months in a federal prison from 1993-95 after pleading guilty to three felony counts, of conspiracy, wire fraud and mail fraud. Those felony convictions may end billionaire Donald Trump's association with Affliction's MMA promotional company. Trump holds a gaming license in New Jersey and gaming licensees are not permitted to do business with felons.

That last paragraph is especially ominous. If you're wondering how wrong shit can go on account of Todd Beard being a psycho, the loss of Trump is pretty damn wrong. This is all on top of people learning that Beard wants to kill one of the most beloved figures in the sport (that's Randy, not Kim) and has a habit of sucker punching pregnant women in the oven. I wonder if Tom Atencio is on suicide watch? If he's not, perhaps someone should check him out just to make sure Beard doesn't kill him too in a rage along with Affliction's reputation and business.

Wow! What a decent human being this Todd Beard seems to be.

No wonder we didn't know who TSG2 was for the longest time; they were keeping him locked up for fear of THIS happening.

By the way, what a fuckin pussy. Fraud, hitting women, criminal threats. At least do something manly. TSG2 is just a drunk bully. A fuckin top notch scumbag for sure.

Here are links to the abstracts for the LA Times articles mentioned in the UG (discussing the conspiracy and fraud charges for ripping off the elderly):

Does anyone really see Affliction staying in business for the next two months in order to do their January show? This could be their standgate.
Captain
Didn't there used to be periods in your name?

He punched a pregnant women in the stomac and has been involved in ripping off elderly people that were "usually partially or fully senile, widowed and alone with no close family around"

If he doesnt leave affliction like right now, the company is going down in flames. Even the majority of the meatheads wearing affliction piece of shit T-shirts would turn their back on the company.

If i had to guess, I'd say Beard's humanitarian of the year award is in the mail.

I always say im gonna punch people in the uterus but this guy nearly did.

I'm still in shock about what a sketchball he is. I wonder if Atencio knew. I'm also interested in knowing how the company formed and the relationship between the two. This is the kind of shit that drives partners to split
Dr. Gonzo
They do backgorund checks at Wal Mart. I'm sure they knew of his past
