Weird news of the week -- no, the month! Nikki Blonsky and her father were arrested last week after getting in a fight with America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden at the Providenciales International Airport in Turks and Caicos, police say. The cause of the brawl? Saved seats!
Apparently, the Blonskys put luggage on some chairs in the departure lounge of the airport, and Bianca, her mother, and her brother moved the bags to sit down. That's when the fists went flying. "I am in pain all the way down my arms and legs," Bianca's mom, who says she was kicked and punched all over her body, tells the Turks and Caicos Weekly News. "I can hardly talk or walk and my head is hurting all over." Nikki was charged with assault with actual bodily harm and common assault, People reports, while her father was charged with grievous bodily harm (which means the victim was injured so severely they needed immediate medical care) and Bianca was charged with assault with actual bodily harm.
"Nikki is one of my really dear friends, and she's not a person that I would ever expect to have that controversy … surrounding her," Brittany Snow, her co-star in Hairspray, tells People. "But at the same time, you know things get misconstrued in this business. I really hope the best for her, because ... she's one of the sweetest girls I've ever met, so I just hope it works out -- and it will, because she's a good person, and good things happen to good people." And while Brittany hadn't actually spoken to Nikki about the altercation, she says Zac Efron "talked to her for a while."
Hmm, maybe Bianca and Nikki can reconcile on Tyra -- just a thought!
