"Shameless" actor, Elliott Tittensor and his girlfriend, "Skins" actress, Kaya Scodelario, are being slammed for going on vacation, after seriously injuring a young man, in a case of attempted murder. The couple were seen nonchalantly exiting a Manchester, England airport, after a vacation in Marbella, Spain. 

Two weeks ago, Tittensor and Scodelario, were occupant's in the former's BMW, which deliberately rammed an 18-year-old fan, Oliver Flint, who had asked to use a mobile phone, as his battery had died.

Flint nearly died as well, after being intentionally hit with Tittensor's car, which hurled him onto the bonnet, then the ground, where he hit his head on the curb. Doctors successfully stabilized the ensuing brain hemorrhage that threatened his life. 

However, the incident left him blind in his left eye, due to damage to the eye socket. His right eye currently suffers from blurred vision. However, as the blood reabsorbs into the brain from the hemorrhage, the vision in his right eye may improve. 

Tittensor took to his Twitter page to downplay Flint's families claims, stating "Please don't believe the papers people, it's an ongoing investigation for a reason. But we all know how the papers love to put people down" (link). However, as he has been arrested for attempted murder and police are looking over closed circuit camera footage for additional evidence, the case against Tittensor does not look good. 

In addition to criminal charges, Tittensor will face a massive civil suit, due to the terrible injuries Flint sustained. One look at Flint's medical records and the accompanying pictures, will be enough to convince any jury the young man has been gravely harmed.

The money Tittensor has made for the past 8-years in the entertainment industry, on movies and shows such as "Shameless" which is nearly a million pounds, could be wiped away. His home in Manchester, could be targeted for sale as well, in order to satisfy any financial judgments the court levies.

If it is found Scodelario, who was a passenger in the vehicle, during the time of the incident and scornfully ignored Flint's request to borrow her phone, had anything to do with the tragic events, such as egging on or encouraging Tittensor's actions, she too could face a terrible civil suit, wiping out her earnings for the 4-years she has been in the entertainment industry, starring on "Skins" and in motion pictures.

It is very regrettable that this incident ever occurred, as it was completely preventable and unnecessary. Young lives have been destroyed, as Flint has lost his sight and Tittensor could lose his freedom and fortune, over poor choices.

It's a stunning look at the sad direction young stars are headed in, after years of being given everything they want and seldom hearing the word "No." Scodelario has been tainted by the incident as well, as she is being portrayed as a stuck-up snob that snubbed the victim and a passenger in the car that rammed him.    

Regardless of any legal maneuvering and PR spinning that will transpire, Tittensor and Scodelario, are responsible for what happened that night. Their names and images have been changed for the worst and it is certain to cost them future employment.
