Former ‘Big Brother’ Finalist Christmas Abbott Pleads Not Guilty To Criminal Mischief
Big Brother alum Christmas Abbott pleaded not guilty on Monday after she was arrested and charged with criminal mischief. Hillsborough County Court confirmed to Us Weekly that the 36-year-old turned herself in on Nov. 6 following an incident in which she smashed her vehicle into the car of a woman who was dating her baby daddy.
According to a police report previously obtained by the outlet, a then-eight months pregnant Abbott “rammed another vehicle multiple times” after getting into a fight with Samantha Morse, her ex Benjamin Bunn’s new girlfriend, back in August.
“[Abbott] came to the gym to confront her child’s father’s romantic partner. Once there, she threw a coffee cup and caused a scene,” the report read. “The suspect entered her Mercedes-Benz SUV and proceeded to ram the victim’s vehicle twice. This caused over $5,000 worth of damage to the victim’s vehicle.”
Morse alleged in a statement to police that Abbott called her a “pathetic, home-wrecking little slut” before hitting her car. But Bunn is trying his best to co-parent their son, Loyal, despite the drama.
“I’ve caught a lot of heat the past five months from friends, family, and strangers,” the fitness coach wrote on Instagram on Nov. 12. “Working to co-parent with someone that you’re not romantically involved with, and for that matter barely know, is a tough undertaking… I’ve learned a lot about what I prioritize as a person and what it actually means to not care about the options of others, and how much it means to place value in the options that actually matter. Something I still struggle with.”
Abbott’s arraignment is scheduled for next month.
