Girl Gets Stuck in Barney Costume, Lives All of Our Worst Nightmares

Barney may love you.

And you may love Barney.

But no one loves getting his or her head stuck inside a Barney costume. That’s just #RealTalk.

And it’s something Darby Risner now knows all too well.

This native of Trussville, Alabama found a Barney head at a friend’s house on Saturday night and thought she could have some fun by scaring her friends.

Just imagine how you’d react if you walked into a room and Barney was suddenly there, annoying theme song spewing from his lips.

We can understand where Darby was coming from.

Shortly after putting the Barney costume on, Risner told a local ABC affiliated that the head “wobbled and scooched down,” covering her shoulders just above her elbows making it look as if she had “short little Barney arms.”

She could not get it off.

“All the girls started trying to pull it off, but it wasn’t budging,” said Risner.

“I started getting a little claustrophobic and felt like it was kind of closing in.”

In the end, her friends even tried rubbing Vaseline all over her arms, but the attempt proved to be unsuccessful.

Fortunately for Risner, one of her pals had a boyfriend in the Trussville Fire department.

So they drove over to the fire station and asked some professionals for assistance.

“Soon enough, we saw a group of young girls waddling with one who had a Barney head stuck on her,” Trussville Fire Department Lt. Vince Bruno told ABC.

He added that this was a “first” in his 33 years on the job. To which we reply: d’uh.

After numerous failed attempts at pulling the Barney head directly off, Bruno explained how they began making “release cuts” into the head, which then allowed it to “slide right off” of Risner’s body.

Tamra Barney to Brooks Ayers: You SO Don"t Have Cancer!

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney is opening up about the Brooks Ayers cancer storyline, and she is not mincing words.

Simply put, she “doesn’t believe” he has cancer.

If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online, you know the extent to which this topic dominated the second half of Season 10.

You also know how contentious things became.

Bravo firebrand Tamra leaves little doubt, in her first post-season interview, where she stands on the allegations of Brooks Ayers faking cancer:

She ain’t buying it. Barney unloaded this week:

“There were so many inconsistent stories circulating on camera and off. We all started noticing them immediately. Things just didn’t make sense!”

“Why wouldn’t he see Shannon’s doctor? He was scheduled to film with her until she wanted to see his medical records,” Tamra adds.

Barney asks, “Where was this big binder full of medical records? Why did Vicki say she called Terry in the middle of the night?”

While circumstantial, Tamra says she definitely thought Ayers’ actions weren’t typical for a cancer victim throughout the season.

“There are many unanswered questions,” she said.

“Why was Brooks drinking and traveling all over the place? Who stops chemo after three rounds when you’re not having secondary issues from it?”

Gunvalson and Ayers showed Tamra the test results of his PET/CT scan, but not the other ladies, a move that she now questions.

“Last year [Gunvalson] was telling everyone to ‘Watch out for Tamra, she will stab you in the back!’ More like expose YOUR lies!”

“And this year she wants to show me Brooks’ PET/CT scan because I am closest to her?” Judge said of that obvious contradiction.

“My gut tells me that she knew I didn’t know what I was reading, and that I would be a puppet and go to the other girls and say ‘Brooks has cancer."”

Tamra concludes, “I don’t think he has cancer.”

“But that is not my problem to worry about.”

Oh, and Vicki knows he’s been lying.

“How could she NOT [know]? That is the million dollar question!” Tamra concludes, and it does beg a number of additional questions:

Why would Brooks make that up? To win sympathy from Vicki and use it as a foothold to move in and save their fractured relationship?

If Vicki did know, or harbor suspicions about Brooks’ lies, was she living in denial or willingly lying to the rest of the cast to save face?
