On Thursday, Nina Arsenault, a former girlfriend, told the Toronto Star that Magnotta had a temper and “if it went on it was terrifying.”
Arsenault, a transsexual who dated Magnotta 10 years ago, said he spoke very briefly of his family, but when he did there was “always red hot anger.”
“He hated his dad. He hated his family and said they didn’t understand him and he had to get away from him.”
Arsenault said she saw him pick fights with people on the street during their three-week relationship.
The two met at Remington’s, a Yonge St. strip club. Arsenault said Magnotta worked there as a stripper, adding he was also an escort and did live sex shows via web cam.
She said Magnotta exhibited a number of eccentricities, including banging his head in the shower and hitting himself quite regularly.
