Wrestling Starlet Chyna in LAPD Beating Investigation

By PopEater Staff Posted Apr 29th 2010 02:34PM

Former WWE wrestler Chyna is allegedly under investigation for her role in a violent altercation in Los Angeles, and according to TMZ sources, the accuser said that the situation became so intense (complete with punching, hair-pulling, etc.) that she felt her life was in danger.

No arrests have been made regarding the incident, and attempts to contact Chyna have gone unanswered.

According to the TMZ report, the Los Angeles Police Department is looking into claims made by Gabriela Targos, alleging that on April 24, Chyna -- whose real name is Joanie Laurer -- asked her to meet up at a motel. However, upon Targos' arrival, the wrestling pro and former 'Surreal Life' and 'Celebrity Rehab' star "immediately snapped and began attacking her for no reason."

During the incident, TMZ reports that Chyna, 39, allegedly punched Targos, beat her with a wire hanger, dragged her by her hair and threatened her life. The incident only came to an end when Targos escaped the motel room, ran down the street and flagged down police officers.

During her time on 'Celebrity Rehab,' Laurer struggled to admit that she had an addiction to steroids or any other substances, and claimed she was on the show voluntarily.

In December of 2008, Chyna was rushed to the hospital after having too many drinks at her own birthday party, where friends found her passed out with cuts on her arms. Upon arrival at the hospital, she was so intoxicated that doctors were unable to perform a psychological test.

Chyna shot to fame in the late '90s during her time with the WWE, where she was known as "The Ninth Wonder of the World" because of her massive frame and muscles. Since she was so much larger than all of the other female wrestlers in the company, Chyna would often face off with men.

She later gained further notoriety when a sex tape she made with a fellow wrestler was leaked.

By Tara

oh yes, I agree. The other girls are to skinny, and no muscles, they wouldn't know what hit them. I miss China.

By Maureen

I agree!!! WWE was never the same when Chyna left it. Generation X really blew apart without her and Sixpac. She was incredible. None of these WWE women wrestlers are even worthy enough to step in the ring with her or even lace up her boots!!!

By Barbara

It's a side effect of the steroid use; her voice will sound masculine for the rest of her life. She's not a tranny.

Who's to say that Ms. Laurer isn't the next BIG step in evolutionary development? Mankind has made a mess. It's time for the ladies to take charge & set men straight. Chill Joanie. "The pioneers take the arrows." YOU GO GIRL !

By jeff

" next big step in the evolutionary department " .... wow , what an oxymoron that is . an amazon , ugly , and violent woman is what u think women are evolving into . .... honey , i've got news for ya , that's going in the wrong direction for evolving . . if they're getting bigger , uglier , and more violent ., that basically means women are turning into men . men will always be in charge , amanda ...the face of power shaves , and it always will . ....also any woman that thinks turning into a man is showing men something really needs to have her head examined .....soon .
