In a bit of surreal news, our girl (and my fashion twin) Nikki Blonsky and her father were arrested and charged with assault in an altercation with ANTM's resident bitca Bianca Golden. Apparently they allegedly came to blows over desired seats in an airport departure lounge. The interesting bit is that while Nikki and Bianca both received identical charges, Nikki is the one getting the bad press from People. Although, as they say in the biz, any publicity is good publicity, which means that Nikki may have won this round.

The cool thing, as Francesca so aptly pointed out, is that so far I've also not seen any outlets refer to Blonsky as a plus-size anything, simply noting that she appeared in Hairspray. It's refreshing, especially since the opposing force was a size 2 pre-model and it seems difficult for most copywriters to refrain from making a reference to the size difference.

Also, for what it's worth, judging from the video that showed up at Defamer, it sounds like Bianca was the first to deliver a blow to Nikki.

I could be wrong, but I think part of the focus on Nikki is because it was Golden's mom who was injured so badly she had be hospitalized, not Nikki's. It would seem cruel to be mean to or blame a girl when her mom is in the hospital! Even People could probably see that. Nikki's dad was charged with "charged with grevious bodily harm" for hitting Biana's mom and since he isn't a celebrity, Nikki gets the fallout.


What I find weird is that they were all at the airport together! Not on purpose it seems but still! No b-listers are ever at the airport when I go on vacation, much less rumbling!

And yay no size comments in the media! I noticed that too.
