Former NFL player Darron Lee allegedly turned to ChatGPT for advice the day before his girlfriend, Gabriella Perpétuo, was found dead in a rental home they shared in Tennessee, according to prosecutors.

Hamilton County District Attorney Coty Wamp shared the unearthed messages that Lee, 31, was claimed to have written during a preliminary court hearing on Monday, March 9, speculating it was an attempt by the New York Jets’ former first-round pick to carry out the murder and not get caught.

“Don’t know what to do right now,” Lee allegedly wrote, per the Los Angeles Times. “Fiancée did her crazy thing again and now she’s messed up, I wake up and she has two swollen eyes (I didn’t do anything, self inflicted) she stabbed herself, slit her eye? Idk but she isn’t waking up or responding, what do I do?”

The generated response from ChatGPT stated, “Got it. Here’s exactly what [redacted] is the safest way to handle it without framing it as ‘police trouble.’”

Lee also apparently asked if someone who has slipped and fallen could suffer “puncture wounds.” (An autopsy conducted on Perpétuo, 29, determined that she suffered severe brain trauma, a broken neck, extensive bruising, large bite marks on her shoulder and thigh, stab wounds and significant facial injuries.)

Lead detective Brian Lockhart previously told the court there was blood found in nearly every room of the house except one. Investigators also discovered broken glass from the microwave in the kitchen, alcohol bottles scattered throughout the home and cleaning supplies.

Wamp brought forth the new evidence, claiming that Lee was using the AI chatbot as a “legal advisor” and had “dozens of conversations” over a two-day span.

Dispatch audio painted a tragic picture of the final moments of Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland’s life. Kneeland sent a group text to his family “saying goodbye,” according to audio obtained by TMZ Sports on Thursday, November 6.  “We’re talking to his girlfriend,” a 911 dispatcher said. “She’s trying to call his agent. We’re […]

“Mr. Lee was in a home with a female [who] was, for lack of a better term, beaten to death,” Wamp told the court last month while asking the judge overseeing the case to withhold the ex-linebacker’s bond. “And the explanation that he gave doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.”

Lee was ultimately denied bond and remains in custody on first-degree murder and evidence‑tampering charges. He has not yet entered a formal plea but denied wrongdoing when officers arrived at the scene.

“She wasn’t saying anything and that’s when I called 911 immediately, and I was like, ‘What is going on?’ … I was asleep for a long time,” Lee said in a video shown in court.

Perpétuo’s family has since filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against Lee and launched a GoFundMe to cover attorney fees, funeral and travel costs. As of March 10, $63,000 out of a $100,000 goal has been raised.

“Gabriella was a victim to domestic violence and abuse,” the description reads. “She is unfortunately no longer with us. She was residing in Tennessee when this happened and is currently still there. Her parents Monique and Nilson have traveled there to go and try to get her back home to Florida as soon as possible so family and friends can say their final goodbyes.”

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.

1978’s Laserblast is one of those movies that requires you to consult Wikipedia to fully understand what’s going on. Knowing this is important because if you don’t, you may start questioning your own intelligence while trying to make sense of the story it’s attempting to tell. Be kind to yourself, dear reader, because your brain is not broken. This movie is. But don’t let that assessment steer you away from streaming this punisher on Tubi because it’s a perfect B-movie featuring stop-motion aliens, incompetent police officers, and, as its title suggests, a lot of laser blasts.

For every wooden line of dialogue, there’s a pretty neat explosion. For every human interaction that plays like writers Frank Ray Perilli and Franne Schacht were aliens who just learned how humans behave and decided to make a movie about it, there’s some great stop-motion animation. It may be a stretch, but I’m convinced the main character, Billy Duncan (Kim Milford), was a huge fan of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, because his mannerisms when he goes into full rampage mode scream Leatherface.

Billy’s Revenge Arc, Or Whatever You Want To Call It

When Laserblast introduces us to Billy, we bear witness to a momma’s boy who doesn’t like being left alone. He’s in his 20s but still throws a tantrum about living rent free, and unsupervised, in a very nice house. He has a girlfriend named Kathy (Cheryl Smith), who’s also in her 20s and lives with her grandfather, Colonel Farely (Keenan Wynn). This complicates things for Billy because the Colonel doesn’t like him, meaning they have to hang out on the sneak.

One day while wandering through the desert, Billy finds a laser cannon and a strange amulet. Bored and curious, he affixes the cannon to his arm and learns it fires an explosive laser, but only if he wears the accompanying amulet he finds lying on the ground nearby. Once he realizes the scope of his power, he sets out on the war path, vowing to eliminate everybody who has ever wronged him.

If you’re wondering what kind of people have wronged Billy in Laserblast, get a load of this. He’s mad at Deputies Pete Ungar (Dennis Burkley) and Jesse Jeep (Barry Cutler) for giving him a speeding ticket. He was speeding. He’s also mad at some local boys named Chuck (Mike Bobenko) and Froggy (Eddie Deezen) for challenging him to a race he couldn’t participate in because his shaggin’ wagon wouldn’t start on time to compete.

Meanwhile, a group of aliens observe Billy’s actions from afar, speaking in an indecipherable language with no subtitles. The subtext suggests they want their laser back, so let’s just go with that.

You Need A Likeable Protagonist For This To Work

Billy is a total chode in Laserblast, which makes his entire revenge arc hard to sell. Most of the time he’s wandering around moping, and then when somebody breaks his balls he vows to kill them. He’s the kind of person who turns every perceived slight into a personal vendetta. It’s exhausting, and not exactly satisfying when he goes after the people who have allegedly wronged him because it’s just regular everyday stuff that sets him off.

His physical evolution, however, is the most perplexing aspect of Laserblast. The amulet he wears while firing the cannon causes a mysterious growth on his chest, which makes Dr. Mellon (Roddy McDowall) want to investigate further with the help of a government goon named Tony Craig (Gianni Russo). Already in full laserblast mode, it’s implied that Billy becomes more and more like the aliens he stole the device from the more he uses it, resulting in green skin and not much else.

He twists and turns with his laser blaster like Leatherface chasing a damsel in distress, but he lacks the physicality to keep these sequences from becoming unintentionally hilarious. If I sound like an expert on this one, it’s because I read the exhaustive breakdowns on both IMDb and Wikipedia. But if I’m being honest, those writeups give the movie way too much credit. In the movie itself, a bunch of stuff happens that seems vaguely connected, and then there are some rad little alien dudes (David W. Allen’s stop-motion efforts alone make this worth watching) who occasionally chatter , but we never truly know whether they’re good or bad.

As of this writing, Laserblast is streaming for free on Tubi. It’s best not to think too hard about this one and just let it happen to you. It’s amusing, but I’d hardly call it a movie. For what it is, though, it’s definitely entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but will likely never watch it again.
