National Skyline Jemina Pearl Beats Up a Detroit Heckler
Posted by Steve Haruch on Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 3:41 PM
She really does hate people! Apparently Jemina Pearl beat up a dude in Detroit for flicking lit cigarettes at her during a show. I think we can all agree that it is not cool to flick lit cigarettes at a performer. Some of us might think it's not particularly cool to beat up someone in the audience for flicking lit cigarettes at you. Either way, according to Jemina Pearl:
yes, i did beat up a dude. he was being a dick and heckling us the whole time. it was pissing off john and max especially. i poured a bottle of water on him, but he wouldn't quit. i told all the boys to just ignore him, and we were having a lot of fun on stage. unfortunately, dude fucked up during the last song by flicking lit cigarettes at me. not cool. i kicked his ass, there was blood, and everyone at the show cheered because he sucked. even his roommate was putting him down after the show. dude was asking for it the whole show, and he seemed pretty pleased when it was over. i guess he got what he wanted?
He "seemed pretty pleased"? Is Pearl projecting her own delight in violence onto her victim? Or is he a sado-masochist who got off on getting his ass kicked by a rock 'n' roller? I don't know. Pearl just says the band went bowling at the venue and then went to Chicago.

i've seen jem go after some people... it's not pretty, though i've also seen much worse. while i wouldn't think it too cool if dudes were doing it or if it was a regular thing, i think she's gotta fuck some shit up now and then to let the audience know that she's not gonna put up with their shit.... and she gets plenty of it thrown her way. she may have signed up for that being a lead singer in a band but everyone has personal boundries and when they feel threatened or disrespected, they react. her reaction is usually kinda violent. let me tell you about some of the chairs that felt her wrath in the studio... eeek.
I was standing next to that kid the whole show and he never smoked a cigarette. But it was still amusing to see a "punker" get so upset just because a guy was requesting Turbo Fruits songs.
Couldn't agree more Dan M. Jemina, grow up and get some thicker skin. I know it's hard going through life with your Dad making everything happen for you, but your teen angst excuse isn't cute anymore.
oh it is enhancement. I seriously doubt this chick "beat" any ass whatsoever. And if she did, that is a great point, why is her band so full of pussies?
the economy is so bad in Detroit, I doubt Jemina Pearl could beat any cold hard broke ass. It's like goddamned Russia up there maaaaaaan. Maybe she should sit outside the South Train Station and hand out soup and bread instead.
So, the female lead singer beats the dude up, but you're likening her band of males to girls for not beating him up first? wouldn't that make them little boys?
It was staged. His cousin works for 2:30 Publicity, Jemina Pearl’s publicity company, and he got a spot on the guestlist and paid to yell things get "attacked". My friend held his glasses right before it happened, cause he was anticipating something happening during the final song. He wasn't kicked out of the show and we actually hung out with the band backstage after it was all over. We've been having a good laugh about it all ever since then. He wouldn't even have fallen to the ground if he hadn't slipped on the beer he had just spilled.
This "conspiracy" is bogus. I know for a fact that 2:30 Publicity didn't put anyone - relations included - on the guest list for this show. If only the good peeps at 2:30 had the time to come up with such cunning stunts. That being said, don't be surprised to find Jemina pearl hovering in a homemade balloon over Detroit tomorrow.
I bet he busted a nut in his pants while she was kicking the shit out of his face...
Meh.
I'll take the Crofton/Former Royal Trux Broad Springwater rumble over this poontangling incident any day.
Are you a trustfunder dreaming of musical stardom but never quite managed to develop any talent or ability? That's ok! You can be 'punk!'
