Why is John Waters kissing him?
'cause Cheeta's gay?
of caurse not, john's just creepy.
No! it's called attachment you creep!
sad but it was commonly known that the former owner was a sick f*ck that used to severely discipline the Chimpanzee. It's a common thing amongst these Hollywood animals to be treated badly, but in this case the handler was known to be a jackass.
