'40-Year-Old Virgin' Actor: I Stabbed My Girlfriend

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 10th 2010 06:07AM

Shelley Malil, the actor best known for playing an electronics store clerk in 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin,' testified Thursday that he stabbed his girlfriend 20 times by mistake. Malil said he thought Kendra Beebe was somebody else getting ready to attack him, PEOPLE reports.

"I'm sorry," Malil said in a Vista, Calif., courtroom. "I had no idea. I saw the pictures for the first time, I was stunned. When I look at those pictures, I still can't believe the knife I was holding was responsible for all those injuries."

The actor pleaded not guilty to charges of premeditated attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and residential burglary. Malil is facing a possible life sentence.

Beebe was stabbed at her San Diego County home in August 2008 after Malil found her socializing with another man, David Maldonado.

He reports he felt threatened and believed Maldonado was going to kill him. He recalls getting "hit from the back on the side of the head. It felt like cold granite countertop."

"I don't know what it was, but someone was hitting me with something and all I had was this knife and I just went bananas with the thing," Malil said.

Malil started slashing out in defense not realizing he was actually stabbing Beebe.

Earlier this month, Beebe told the jury that Malil had been jealous and controlling, had broken up with her at least once and at one point blocked her phone calls. "This was a very unhealthy relationship," Beebe said to the defense attorney. "I think you've illustrated that."

The trial will continue with cross-examination Monday, and closing statements are expected Tuesday.

wtf?....his story would have been legit if "he found her socializing with another man" statement wasan't there...thats motive...why would he walk in his own house with a knife?....he is going to prison if his lawyer is wack ...too many gaps and soo many questions can be thrown and if theres any record of domestic violence on his record it's over...if the prosecuters dig up family members ex girlfriends who can confirm he's "jealous" as she stated it's over for him......damn...he was hilarious too

By aponcherello

His motive it's in his cultural upbringing. These are the types of people the ACLU and the Democrats are worrying about offending all the time. They are lunatics.

By strangedc

He didn't walk into his own house with a knife,,,she was stabbed IN HER HOME....so there goes that "someone was attacking me" crap...I hope they lock him up forever..

By Lynn

His story isn't 'legit' with or without the socializing statement. How does he stab someone 20 times and not know who he's stabbing. That would take more than a second or two. The jury will be out about 20 minutes on this one, if that.

He wasnt in his house it says he was at her house...read the full story and charges.

aponcherello- you're a moron. You don't even know the difference between which cultures you are insulting. Until you can read enough to differentiate between ethnicities, please go punch yourself in the genitals.

He "Stabbed his girlfriend 20 times by MISTAKE????" How funny is he now? What a loser. Well...If he's managed to squirrel away some O.J. money, maybe he can get off with probation.

By trish

This guy is a lier...and if any one in the court room believes him then he IS a good actor!!!

By BTDT

He's toast.

By Marge

Stabbed her 20 times "BY MISTAKE"?????? Does he think we are all stupid????

By Tigerlily

He's hoping. He deserves life with no.

By Frank

I would stab him once.....with a 12" inch blade up his rectom....and then tell him oh..sorry...I meant to use my penis !

By scottjoy3

he was not responsible for the stabbing. the knife was.

By Linnie

Yeah, I'm sure they'll say that he has some kind of "disorder". Doesn't everybody have a "disorder" of some kind. We'll have to make one up...let's see..... he has "attackophobia" this is a disorder where he feels he's going to be attacked and can't remember who he stabbed 30 times. Yep, that's it.
