Nikki Blonsky & dad arrested for airport brawl with ANTM contestant
It must be really frustrating to star in a movie that’s universally raved about, and then not get any other offers aside from a couple of Lifetime movies. That’s the only explanation I can come up with for Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky’s unmitigated rage. Nikki and her father Carl were involved in some kind of serious physical altercation yesterday at the airport in Turks and Caicos. The two took on former America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden and her mother Elain – who was so seriously injured that she had to be airlifted to a Florida hospital!
"They were involved in an altercation at the airport in the departure lounge," Sgt. Chase of the Turks and Caicos Islands Police Department tells E! News, adding that the fight was over some saved seats.
Blonsky's rep declined to comment. The 19-year-old Hairspray star was charged with assault and actual bodily harm as well as common assault; her father, Carl, was rung up on a count of inflicting grievous bodily harm. Bianca Golden was also charged with actual bodily harm and assault. Golden's mother, Elain, was hurt so badly she had to be airlifted to a hospital in Florida, according to Sgt. Chase.
Nikki Blonsky appeared in court this morning sporting a neck brace-"she received some kind of injury," said Chase; a judge allowed her to be released on $6,000 cash bail and ordered to return to court on Dec. 1. Her father is being held until Aug. 8. Golden was also freed on bail. According to Chase, Golden and Nikki Blonsky's charges carry a maximum penalty of two years, while Carl Blonsky could face up to five years in prison.

Holy cow. This whole thing just reeks of Tracy Turnblad fighting for justice. Except I think Blonsky forgot Tracy’s message of not beating the crap out of people. Who knew the pint-sized girl packed such rage? I know traveling and airports can piss people off and make otherwise rational people do very irrational things… but this is pretty damn extreme. It resulted in airlifting someone off the island. And neck braces. And lots of criminal charges. I’m really anxious to hear a more gossipy account of what went on.
