Biggest Loser Trainer is a Child Abuser

Filed under: Legal Matters

anthony.jpg

This made us sick to our stomach.

On Friday, Anthony Badalamenti, a New York trainer featured in the NBC show Biggest Loser, was arrested on charges of beating his live-in girlfriend's 6-year-old son and charged with second-degree assault, possession of a dangerous weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.

He's being held by authorities on a $100,000 bond.

According to reports, the young boy was beaten with weightlifting belts and had multiple lacerations and bruises on his right hand, right leg and buttocks when authorities found him.

The boy has been treated for his injuries and was released to a relative.

The child beater's landlord, who lives below the 'family', was the one who called authorities to intervene.

He told reporters that he heard the child's cries for nearly a month.

He considered it a private matter until he heard the screams again on Friday evening, "The child was pleading for mercy. I said, 'That's it, I can't take it anymore.' "

Sadly, the boy's mother, Jessica Muniz, has also been charged with the same charges as Badalamenti and is being held on $50,000 bond.

The Muniz and Badalamenti families have refused to comment.

So disturbing!

Poor kid.

P.S. If you are in a similar situation and hear a child's cries for helps - DO NOT wait this long!!!!!

    Hey Perez, was this the trainer you wanted to help you lose weight before you went with surgery?
    VOTE FOR McCAIN
    Well Perez, this guy can just BEAT you each night now. It will be the closet thing you've had to a relationship since your old dog killed himself by jumping out the window.
    VOTE YES ON PROP 8

    Vote Obama.

    I vowed to NEVER be like my dad and use a belt, shoe, a stick, coat hanger, anything that you would hold in your hand, towards my kids. It's so much easier to ground them from their toys or t.v. and putting them in timeout to their room and have them think. I'm shocked that they did this to a child on Halloween, and use that kind of belt. Shame on You! Such a STUPID PATHETIC man and Especially a STUPID FUCKING MOTHER for allowing a another man to spank YOUR Child!!!!

  8. 8

    SWEET JESUS.
    yes people….PLEASE DO NOT WAIT THAT LONG TO CALL!!!!



  9. 9

    HORRIBLE…..I agree……if you hear a child screaming (especially screaming for mercy) that is BEYOND a spanking….it's abuse…..That abuser should swing and be smacked around with his damn weight lifting belts…stupid fucker



  10. 10

    Re: Rose_x – and the whole liverpool thing means what? kinda confused.



  11. 11

    He is a loser in the worst sense of the word. Put him behind bars for 20 year.



  12. 12

    Hopefully he will go to prison and the homies will take good care of him….slice…stab…gurgle…gurgle…..



  13. 13

    Re: Pwn3d!
    I hate people who leave nonsensical comments.



  14. 14

    what a fucking loser. however, he is fucking sexy. what a waste of a hottie.



  15. 15

    He waited a month? Way to be part of the village.



  16. 16

    this cock for brains wasn't on the biggest loser - he was a personal trainer that helped one of the guys who got kicked off the biggest loser.



  17. 17

    OMG! If any of you out there have similar issues, please get help!
    Don't take it out on the children!
    .
    FOR YOUR CHILDREN, VOTE OBAMA!



  18. 18

    motherfucker,child abusers should die in prison.



  19. 19

    hE IS CUTE…lUV HIM



  20. 20

    Yeah, it is too bad he didn't report it sooner. I wonder how many times in that one month he heard the noises? Stuff like this happens because people are so afraid to speak up in fear of getting dragged into some b.s. that they had nothing to do with. Anyway, i'm glad he did & I hope the kid doesn't get placed back with the mother!!!



  21. 21

    A month he waited!! THAT IS JUST AS SICK!!!



  22. 22

    Can we get him to date Miley?



  23. 23

    I hope they (the crips/bloods/aryians) wear his ass out in the joint! He needs to get beat an inch of worthless life to do that to a defenseless kid. That cowardly cunt mama needs the same. This fucker's got it comin'…& that bitch mama too! Kid-karma is a motha.



  24. 24

    i feel sick to my stomach reading that



  25. 25

    pEREZZZ U nees to be "ABUSED" by him…..so u will lose a lot of that Fat from ur fat body!!!!!!!!!



  26. 26

    FUCKING LOSER! I HATE CHILD BEATERS. I HOPE HE GETS SOME SERIOUS TIME BUT IM SURE HE WILL JUST GET A FEW PATHETIC MONTHS AND BE FREE. I HOPE HE GETS HIS ASS KICKED AND RAPED IN JAIL. AND IF HIS MOTHER HAD ANY KNOWING IN THIS THEN I WISH THE SAME ON HER TOO. DUMB WHORE.



  27. 27

    Re: Yessi2 – so, just do me a favour and never ever beat your kids, not even with bare hands, exept they are beating you.

    Re: Pwn3d! – you may hate perez, and i don't care - but right now you're making fun of the misery of a 6 year old kid, and that's unacceptable.



  28. 28

    WHAT A DICK!



  29. 29

    SADLY?? This woman should get a worse sentence she is the MOTHER it was her responsibility to protect her son not the land lord. She allowed this to happen a man is not more important than your child. She let this person into her child's life and let him continue to torture her child she is MORE guilty. She could have left him and protected her child.



  30. 30

    I just don't understand these women who take on lovers and allow them to abuse their kids. He is a monster, yes, but in my books SHE is much worse for allowing this to happen to her own child…whether she participated or not. If you can't rely on your mother to protect you, its pretty tragic.



  31. 31

    Re: crapola74 – Are you STUPID? or just do not care?



  32. 32

    it took a whole month to call and get help for this angel???

    Please help a child, DO NOT WAIT

    and I hope this bastard gets out in General population and they do to him what he did to this child, but a lot worse!!



  33. 33

    It's one thing to swat your kid on the ass for being snotty or acting like a brat, it's another to beat them. That's very sad. I would never let someone treat my kids like that. There's nothing that little boy could have done to deserve that.



  34. 34

    Re: Pwn3d! – Pwn3d, your comment was Rude. and irrelevant.



  35. 35

    Wow, that's just sad.

    Just curious… I've scene every episode of that show and I don't recognize this guy. Anyone know who he is or what season he was on?



  36. 36

    I don't recall seeing this guy on the Biggest Loser, but that doesn't make him any less of a fuckass. He needs to take the high hard one up the ass from big Leroy in cell block 5. Fucker.



  37. 37

    I feel sick to my stomach for this poor little boy. Thank God for that neighbour and Perez, this is a really worthwhile posting. I'm sure it will help a lot of kids out there people report suspected child abuse./



  38. 38

    please please please never wait to call for help. if you have the thought "that child needs help","man that sounds bad", don't wait for someone else to call, you do it. you could be saving a childs life. and if there is nothing wrong, then nothing will happen.



  39. 39

    I watch every season and he doesn't look familiar. Either way he sucks ass for what he's done.



  40. 40

    OH MY GOD!!!!!!! The mother was even in on it!!!!:'-(

    Im sitting hear nerly in tears over it:'-(



  41. 41

    The both should be punished those belts are huge poor child



  42. 42

    I'm all for spanking but not multiple times or with a belt etc…my hand works just fine and only when its needy…not just cuz I have a bad day lol But if this land lord has heard noises/cries like that for a month…he waited way too long. Kids get in trouble and get spanked every now and then but if you hear multiple times in a month, he did the right thing. At least the kid is out of their custody and hope this family member is better!



  43. 43

    Fucking assholes… And the mom is a irresponsible masochist…. They should never give her back her son… Irresponsible!!! How can you stand there and do nothing when someone is hurting your kid… Weightlifting belts??? Jesus!!!!!! I would love to have him for 10 minutes in a room with a couple of my friends that are in the Army and are double his size… He will be begging for mercy!!!! Men can be such pussies sometimes… Why doesn't try to beat up someone his same size



  44. 44

    jesus….. things like this just suck the effing life outta me!

    PROUDLY VOTED FOR MCCAIN! :)



  45. 45

    Re: sparklez – agreed.



  46. 46

    Someone once called for me and it changed my life for the better. Abused children are looking for help, please give it..you too can change a person's life for the better.



  47. 47

    Id hit it…..

    with a brick



  48. 48

    I've never seen him on Biggest Loser



  49. 49

    Re: RyanDanVan – No doubt.



  50. 50

    I'm glad the landlord FINALLY did the right thing, but to wait a month, while the boy is suffering and being beaten is despicable!!!



  51. 51

    You hear a child's cries for nearly a MONTH…and you do nothing???

    YOU DO NOTHING?!?!?

    What in the fuck?!?!?

    I'm not looking funny at the asshole who beat this child (I can see Big Bubba tagging that ass in Cell Block H)…and I'm not even looking at the trifiling ass Mama…they join the legions of sick fucks who over the centuries have used and abused their precious childrens…

    I AM HOWEVER LOOKING AT THAT LANDLORD WHO LISTENED TO THE HORROR SHOW UPSTAIRS FOR A MONTH AND DID NOTHING!!!

    Nothing…

  52. MP says – reply to this


    52

    That's awful. The landlord should've called the police sooner, he could've called anonymously. That poor kid.



  53. 53

    I'm sure the kid deserved it we haven't heard what he did but I bet it was serious to get a whooping like that. Nevertheless nothing of value was lost.



  54. 54

    this made my stomach drop. child abuse is the saddest, most horrible thing i believe a person can ever partake in. so sad. thank god the landlord finally called



  55. 55

    Re: gangreenuts – are you serious?!?! the kid must of done something wrong to deserve it? what they hell is wrong with you. no kid ever deserves to be treated in that way. they are JUST KIDS.



  56. 56

    that guys is sick, but he kinda looks like Montgomery Clift



  57. 57

    I'm glad the mother faces the same charges. She is just as guilty in my book. She should be ashamed.

    Re: Lala11_7

    You don't know what the landlord heard - maybe this was the first time he really felt something was up and decided to pick up the phone. Some kids cry all the time - how do you know the difference between a tantrum and something more sinister??? Why the hell would you pass such a harsh judgment on the person who actually did something about this?? There are other neighbours I am sure, and they obviously did nothing.

    This prick boyfriend and the low-life mother are the people any anger should be directed at - the landlord should be applauded for taking action.



  59. 59

    WTF?? Since when is child abuse a "family matter"??? and why did that fucking lowlife shit-for-brains mother allow it?



  60. 60

    i hate child abusers



  61. 61

    Re: Pwn3d! – are you mentally ill?



  62. 62

    Yup. Definitely the Biggest Loser. Lock this fellow up and throw away the key.



  63. 63

    Re: fantomas – Oh I play fight and give them wedgies! LOL



  64. 64

    Wow…sick fuck, i hope he gets whats coming to him



  65. 65

    Don't you all know that adults who beat up on kids are really pussies who would run for their lives if confronted by another adult? It's a power/control thing, to say the least. I hope he -and the mother-get beaten in the joint. See how they like it.



  66. 66

    What a pig. Lock him up and throw away the key. I hope the adults in charge of this situation make the right decisons for this poor little kid. He deserves better.



  67. 67

    He could beat me. He's a fine muthafucka!

    The kid was probably being a little shit as some kids are. I mean, he probably "lost it" and took care-a-business! Maybe the kid is one of those anti-christ children, actually doing things to make him do it. But, anyway, I'm sooooo for beating children. LMAO!!!!!!



  68. 68

    Re: Lulustre – Well said. I'm with you completely.



  69. 69

    Re: Lala11_7 – And you blame your mother for your shitty life? Or your landlord…



  70. 70

    Tears are literally flowing out of my eyes and the thought of this child's misery in the hands of fucking scum. The mother and him are going to definitely get their misery in return, 10x's over. Karma NEVER fails.

    And like the other person said, adults who abuse children fucking cowards and snakes. I don't give a damn.

    If someone EVER abuses my unborn child, I will fucking go OFF the wall with a golf club, sharp rings on every finger, 38 caliber pistol…it doesn't matter I can do DAMAGE with all 3. Question?



  71. 71

    This guy should be beat with weight lifting belts and be knocked up side his head for what he has done…….What a fucking asshole to do that to a child! His mother is just as big of an asshole for allowing it to happen and continue by staying with that piece of shit and letting this piece of shit hurt her child…….Bitch!



  72. 72

    "Sadly, the boy's mother, Jessica Muniz, has also been charged with the same charges as Badalamenti and is being held on $50,000 bond."

    Sadly? More like, Thank God!

    Thank God that the landlord continued interest and took action when things didn't add up and thank God that someone other than that useless "mother" cared about that child.



  73. 73

    He should have called the first time he heard the screams. This is terribly sad and sickening.



  74. 74

    PEREZ IS RIGHT !! PLEASE, IF U HEAR OR THINK A CHILD OR A VULNERABLE PERSON IS BEING ABUSED, DO NOT WAIT BUT RATHER ALERT LAW ENFORCEMENT IN AN EFFECTIVE MANNER !! WE SHOULD ALWAYS STAND UP FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP AND NOT JUDGE.

    AS FAR AS THIS CHILD-BEATING DOUCE NOZZLE IS CONCERNED I HOPE HE ROTS IN PRISON !!!@#$%^&!!!



  75. 75

    Way to go Perez for exposing this loser who's beating his girlfriends 6 year old. Thanks for taking a strong stand against child abuse Perez!!!



  76. 76

    Just as disgusting as that guy, the landlord, and the mother are the posters on this web-site that made fun of this situation or said the kid probably deserved it. frick, no kid begs for mercy for a whole month. frick that is sick, sick, sick and a sad state of society when people ignore a child's cries for help. thousands, yes you read me right, thousands of children die every year from being abused and too often every one of those deaths might have been prevented if someone had the guts to pick up the phone and place an ANONYMOUS call to the police department. frick that is why they have ANONYMOUS CALLING to child abuse services. frick, disgusting people. *need an icon to show i am mad*



  77. 77

    The kids parents deserve to be beaten too…. Why dont they do that as well as fining them? Have some bounty-beaters to make them feel the bruises too? Its fucked up that people can hurt small little kids…. BITCHES!



  78. 78

    I hope somebody beats the crap out of them while they're in custody, and again in jail, after their conviction.
    F***ing pathetic losers, both of them!



  79. 79

    NO PROP H8
    PROP 8 is HATE



  80. 80

    domestic abuse is everyone's problem!! if you hear something…do something about it!! I don't care how old-school you are…

    IT'S NOT RIGHT TO BEAT YOUR WIFE OR YOUR KIDS!



  81. 81

    I love u Perez you not only give a voice to the Hollywood Elite ,but you stick to the real issues as well ,you're the best thing to ever happen to blogging and the blogger word.These pigs are right where they belong I hope he gets the worst of what jail has to offer.And i hope they beat that BITCHES ass behind bars{they probably will}!



  82. 82

    What do you mean 'sadly'!!! women are more likely to abuse a child then men!!



  83. 83

    Fucking pig !! I hope they lock him and the child's mother up for years !! Poor little child…I really want to cry when I read stuff like this. It's terrible and I hope the child will be taken care of by some caring and loving people.



  84. 84

    shoot him and do the world a favor



  85. 85

    Thank god this was stopped! In Britain this could have gone on for a lot longer as there is so much red tape to go through, plus child protection guidelines allow parents to be told where the complaint comes from which can stop people from reporting anything as they are frightened of the consequenses.
    It is everyones responsability to protect our children.
    I work with children with additional support needs and my employers are always sending us on the latest child protection courses and we get regular checks from child protection officials who test our knowlege. Well done to the landlord!!



  86. 86

    This makes me sick. This guy is a useless piece of fuck, and I hope he gets his REAL soon. Rumor has it, prisoners don't take to well to dickheads like him! I hope he get the shit kicked out of him.



  87. 87

    Oh please let me have this fucking asswipe for 10 minutes, I'll show him what a beating is, kill this bastard NOW before he kills. Good for that landlord stepping in like that! Give me the so called mother who let this happen also. Fucking losers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  88. MLD says – reply to this


    88

    It took a fucking MONTH for him to call the cops? What a fucking douche. It took me one incident!

  89. MLD says – reply to this


    89

    Re: Lulustre

    The landlord said he CONSIDERED IT A PRIVATE MATTER until he COULDNT AKE IT ANYMORE

    That indicates this was NOT the first time this caught his attention



  90. 90

    Both him and his wife deserve a beating. Anyone know an imate in a New York prison that you could spead the word to?



  91. 91

    I hope this fucker get what he deserves in prison. I hope the girls come out to make him their bitch.



  92. 92

    Yeah - that's what happens - parents go apeshit and kids grow up fucked up the ass. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
