CEO accused of assaulting ‘Beverly Hills Nannies’ reality TV star in US

PARK CITY, Utah – The CEO of a U.S. company is accused of assaulting a star of the now-cancelled ABC Family reality show “Beverly Hills Nannies” at his vacation home.

Prosecutors in Utah say they’ve charged 51-year-old Patrick Henry with assault, damaging or interrupting a communication device and criminal mischief. He’s set to be arraigned March 18.

Authorities allege that Henry was hosting Ariane Bellamar at his home Jan. 23 when he assaulted her and threw her phone to the ground when she tried to call for help. Police say the phone’s screen was cracked.

Henry is the CEO of the tech company Entropic Communications Inc. He issued a statement published by the Los Angeles Times saying Bellamar was drunk at the time and the assault accusations are false.
