MANALAPAN, Fla. - The musician Yanni was arrested at his home after an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend, authorities said.

Yanni, whose legal name is John Yanni Christopher, was arrested early Friday and faces a domestic battery charge, according to a police report.

The Greek-born singer-pianist denied the allegations.

Yanni asked his girlfriend, Silvia Barthes, to leave his beachfront home in Manalapan on Thursday night, the police report said. Barthes, 33, told police she attempted to pack her clothing but the 51-year-old musician threw it on the ground.

She told officers he then grabbed her arms and shook her, throwing her on the bed, and jumped on top of her, according to the report.

Yanni told police Barthes kicked him, and he believed he injured his finger during the incident, the report said.

No one answered a call to a telephone listing for a John Christopher in Manalapan late Monday. But the musician said in a statement he was innocent.

"These allegations are cruel, false, without merit and baseless," said the statement released by his manager, Danny O'Donovan. "At a more appropriate time and place, I hope and pray I will have an opportunity to address my fans and colleagues all over the world."

It's not even "beating" according to HER side of the story. Sounds kind of weak to me. His story is lame, too, though "Oh, I believe I may have injured a finger during the incident..."

Heck, people fight much more than that on Jerry Springer, and no one calls the cops.

I won't jump to conclusions. I've met several men who have domestic violence charges on their records. The real story: they pushed their wives/girlfriends away from them after the wife/girlfriend was beating the crap out of them. She falls and calls cops. Cops show up, see him bleeding but her without a bruise... arrest him. Yay for feminism!

"Everything great that has ever happened to humanity since the beginning, has begun with a single thought in someones mind and if anyone of us is capable of such a great thought then all of us has the same capacity, capability, because we are all the same."
