Kingsley, 40, claims the human remains are kept in a Mason jar “next to the eggs” in her ex-flame’s refrigerator. She is seeking the return of her private parts and $6,500 in damages. Wojciechowski was apparently not aware he was being sued until someone from the media contacted him for comment.
Wojciechowski has filed a countersuit, stating Kingsley took all she wanted from his apartment when they broke up eight months prior. He also claimed she has been harassing him since their union ended, showing up at his workplace and threatening violence.
“She’s been harassing me ever since we broke up,” he told the Detroit News, stating he had to get a restraining order against Kingsley.
Kingsley apparently has a history with the law. Newsweek reported the woman had previously pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in October 2020 after attacking a roommate with a knife on Christmas Day, 2019.
DOZENS OF ATHLETES FALL SICK COMPETING AT WORLD TRIATHLON CHAMPIONSHIP
Must have been something in the water.
About 57 people became sick and had diarrhea after competing in the swimming portion of the recent World Triathlon Championship Series in Sunderland, England.
According to the Guardian, 2,000 competitors took part in a swimming event just off Roker Beach. Health officials are testing the water to determine what caused dozens of athletes to become sick.

A water sample taken at the beach three days prior to the competition showed more than 39 times typical readings of E.coli, a bacterial infection that can cause stomach pain and bloody diarrhea.
The Guardian reported the swimmers made their way along the coastline, where sewage discharges — blamed on failed government regulations — took place.
Officials from British Triathlon said they’re working with Sunderland city council and the UK Health Security Agency to determine the cause of the illnesses. A Northumbrian Water spokesperson claims there were no discharges from the sewer system that negatively impacted the water quality in the area.
DEFENSIVE DRIVING DIDN’T STOP INSTRUCTOR FROM CRASHING INTO SCHOOL
Driving wasn’t this person’s expertise, ironically.
An instructor at Community Driving School in Lakewood, Colo., managed to crash their vehicle into the facility this past Tuesday.
Did we mention it was their second day on the job?
According to the Lakewood Police Department, a number of people were able to jump out of the way as the vehicle plowed into the front of the school. Authorities say there was only one reported injury.
Community Driving School owner Steve Rohman told Denver 7 News that the instructor was about to start training on the classroom portion of the driving course when they crashed into the front of the school. Rohman said the vehicle belonged to the instructor and not the school.
The owner said safety of students and its instructors was “paramount” and noted the driver was let go as a result of the crash.
TRUCK CRASH RESULTS IN MANY CHEESED-OFF MOTORISTS
Some Taco Bell locations in Arkansas will likely be short of some nacho cheese this week.
A transport truck carrying cans of the liquid cheese crashed and spilled all that cheesy goodness onto a highway.
The Arkansas Department of Transportation posted pictures on Twitter from the incident, which took place Aug. 1 on the I-30 West near Prescott, Ark.
Images show what looks to be hundreds of cans of economy-sized liquid cheese scattered across the roadway, painting the asphalt bright orange in the process.
“Taco Tuesday, anyone?” Arkansas Department of Transportation tweeted, indicating that the cleanup was later successful. “Things are all clear now and traffic is moving.”
Commentators found humour in the situation.
“Nacho average rush hour,” one wrote.
“I-30 has never looked more delicious,” another chuckled.
“Any Dorito truck drivers please report to the scene immediately!” one more chimed.
