Today, Aug 1, 2008, both Nikki Blonsky, Hairspray star, and her father were arrested in a Caribbean airport. They were charged with assault charges that followed a brawl between them and the family of America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden. The fight was believed to have started from an argument over seats in the departure lounge. There were some injuries according to the police and Golden's mother was reported to have been hospitalized with serious injuries.

Nikki was charged with assault with actual bodily harm. There is a possibility of a maximum sentence of two years. She was also charged with common assault, also known as threat of assault, which holds a 90-day maximum term. Her father was charged with grevious bodily harm, meaning the victim was injured so severely they needed immediate medical care. There is possibility of a five-year maximum sentence. Golden was also charged with actual bodily harm.

Wow, I didn't know Nikki had it in her. Nikki's father did go too far though. If he was charged with grevious bodily harm, he was hitting hard. He should of known better.
