More deliciously awful details emerged today about the highly-publicized airport fight between Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky and former America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden that ended with Blonsky's dad in jail and Golden's mother in the hospital.
Speaking with People for the first time since the July 30 rumble, 19-year-old Blonsky claimed the altercation began when the Goldens became visibly irate at other passengers saving seats in the flight departure area. The young actress told the mag that the situation escalated when she told 18-year-old Golden not to point her finger in her face.
"That's when she stood up, pulled her arm all the way back and said, 'F--- you, you white b----,'" Blonsky told People. "And she closed her fist and punched me."
Blonsky's account of the incident differs greatly from Golden's, who appeared on The Tyra Banks Show last week and claimed Blonsky's father punched Golden's mother in face (ouch) while Blonsky herself kicked the woman in the crotch (quintuple ouch). However, Blonsky was adamant that Golden's claims are "absolute lies."
Blonsky, her father Carl and Golden all face assault charges.
"The hardest part for me is to see my parents walk around in severe upset and sadness," Blonsky said.
Not that we're taking sides, here, but at least her parents can walk around.
