B.J. Penn's Mother Accuses Him of Abuse

News summary

Former UFC champion B.J. Penn was arrested twice over Memorial Day weekend in Hilo, Hawaii, on charges related to abuse of a family or household member. Police and court records identify Penn's 79-year-old mother, Lorraine Shin, as alleging psychological and physical abuse, along with claims that Penn suffers from Capgras delusional syndrome, a psychiatric disorder characterized by delusions that loved ones are imposters. Both Shin and the mother of Penn's children have been granted restraining orders, citing concerns for their safety and mental health risks. Shin's allegations also include theft and tampering with security devices. Penn posted videos online disputing the charges and reiterating his beliefs about imposters. He is scheduled to appear in court on June 10 regarding the restraining order, as concerns mount over his mental health and legal troubles.
