Former A&E star Tony McCollister faces serious charges after his December 23 arrest in Ohio for child and animal abuse. A judge has explicitly ordered him to stay away from his two dogs—and not have sex with them. The scandal involves allegations that have shocked even the wildest reality TV circles.
Oh honey, grab your popcorn because this tea is scalding. Tony McCollister, the ex-A&E personality from that short-lived swinger show 'Neighbors with Benefits' back in 2015, got himself arrested on December 23 in Warren County, Ohio. We're talking child abuse and animal cruelty charges that are straight out of a nightmare. 😱
According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, the judge didn't mince words: McCollister must keep at least 500 feet away from his two dogs, all animals, and all minor children. And get this—the order specifically bars him from 'forcing sexual relations' upon his minor children and dogs. Prosecutors hit him with pandering obscenity involving a minor and sexual conduct with an animal. Messy doesn't even begin to cover it.
His poor pups? They've been scooped up by the Warren County Sheriff's Office and are now 'being well cared for,' Sheriff Barry Riley told TMZ. The show 'Neighbors with Benefits,' which dove into swinger lifestyles, got canned after just two episodes amid public backlash. McCollister posted $250,000 bail and walked free, but we've reached out to him—no response yet.
This former reality darling's fall from grace is a reminder that some spotlights burn too hot. Is this the end of his public life, or just another wild chapter? Spill your thoughts in the comments.
