Nikki Blonsky Arrested!!!!!

Nikki Blonsky Arrested!!!!!

Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky and her father, Carl, were arrested Wednesday after fighting with a woman at Providenciales International Airport in Turks and Caicos.

A staffer at the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force confirmed their arrests to Us Weekly.

Ew, she’s got cooties!!!!

Nikki has been busy recording her debut album. “It’s something I really want to nurture,” the 19-year-old actress has said. “My album will probably be a mix of Stevie Nicks, Melissa Etheridge, and Sheryl Crow meets a little Linda Eder. You can expect everything from horns to electric guitars, a mix of big band with a bit of rock-n-roll.”

She added, “Unlike a movie, it’s not written for you, so I want to make sure it’s something that really comes from my heart. When I’m ready to release it, you bet I’ll be releasing it in style.”

UPDATE: Nikki was fighting with former America’s Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden, reports TMZ. Nikki was saving five seats for her family in a lounge, and Bianca’s family wanted to sit. Both sides of the family then proceeded to yell and curse at each other. One member of the Golden team actually bit Nikki’s foot!!!! Ouch.

I agree, troy. There’s absolutely nothing to laugh at here. Just a mess of a situation, and someone is hospitalized. Over seats……

Gives new meaning to the phrase, “Don’t sweat the small stuff.”

Let’s hope Nikki and her dad are gracious and accept responsiblity for what happened and move on. She’s a talented strong young woman and will be OK. I think she could actually take a lesson from Vanessa in learning how to face the world and be strong, brave, and wiser.

Lisa #123 - Woah woah woah, you’re not ACTUALLY comparing taking a naked picture at 16 to being an adult and greviously injuring someone are you?!?! There’s absolutely no comparison there!

Poor judgement in Vanessa’s case yes, the same poor judgement you’d expect from any teen at that age, but I hardly think “poor judgement” would hold up as a defence for Nikki! Gross mishandling of a situation, serious disregard and lack of respect for another human being would be better suited in her situation.

It really bugs me that people are trying to compare Nikki and Vanessa. I really don’t think Vanessa should be mentioned in this thread.

It does also bother me that people think this is a time for jokes, someone is lying in hospital in a critical condition! Our thoughts and prayers should be with that person and their family.

It just gets worse and worse, if this report from an island news source is to be believed

http://www.caribbeannetnews.com/news-9567–37-37–.html

“The incident is reported to have started with a dispute over saved seats in the departure lounge at the airport but escalated after racial insults were hurled. Nikki Blonsky is said to have told Bianca Golden that her Louis Vuitton bags were more important than Golden and allowing Golden a seat.”

I hope this is not true because if it is true, Nikki is a disgrace to the character she played in HS, her African American co-stars and her African American fans. It is one thing to be racist in the US but another entirely to go to a country and racially abuse a resident. No sense or restraint in the entire family.

I’m sorry but there’s nothing sweet about this girl or her dad, you’re still starting out with one role and fame is already going to your head. LV bags indeed!

Vicky, totally agree. The pic issue with Vanessa was just poor judgement for a teen. Their brains are not fully developed until their 20’s and don’t always understand consequences of their actions. Medical fact. The charges against Nikki are far more serious. If true, she and her father lack control of themselves and their tempers. That’s completely different.

I agree Vanessa should not have been brought up on this thread, but Nikki fans brought up the subject. But the two issues can’t even be compared. I just hope for the best for Nikki. It’s just sad. I’m more shocked at her father……he’s an ADULT; he should have been setting an example.

Nikki will get through this fall of disgrace. The media and non-fans of her unfortunate issue will be on the celebrities news at the most 2 months, because she was not in a movie that is Disney production. Look at Jamie Lynn Spears getting pregnant at 16 years of age, and the media and non-fans didn’t stay on her issue that long, more like 1 months.

Only stars that are on Disney TV and movie productions will be boardcasted, never be forgotten or forgiven and bashed by non-fans for their entire life.

Nikki will get through this and also be forgotten by the world real short time, unless she has to serve 2 years jail time. Because of her celebrity status, the court system might just drop it or drop to lesser charge with paying a fine and serving community services.

She will be fine and continue moving on with her career in entertainment.

All of you are pathetic…OMG!!!! Nikki fans called Vanessa a **** so we have to call her fat. Grow the hell up. I swear the TWEENS stage is the most annoying…………………………………………………………

#132,

Stop with the fake outrage! The tween stage is bothering you or that people call Nikki fat.

A woman is in ICU because Nikki and her father prefer to pound someone so that LV bags can have seats and you are not concerned.

An accusation of racial abuse has been made but that doesn’t concern you.

Leave other stars out of it. How do you know Vanessa fans are the ones calling Nikki fat. I am not a Vanessa fan but this is wrong by any account and neither Nikki or her fans are showing any remorse.

Call a spade a spade, Nikki and her father were wrong and have disgraced our country and her colleagues.

She went to that country for a festival to promote HS, a racially themed movie. Now she’s back again to racially insult residents over airport seats and send one of them to intensive care and what is bothering you is the tween stage.

You are the pathetic one. The woman in ICU can die for all you people care as long as Nikki’s career is salvaged. That’s why we are hated as a country outside our borders.

I was there when this happened and it wasn’t her foot she bit her thumb and tracey and her father were arrestted on false acusations because they didnt even do anything she got punched in the face a few times and the father, mother brother and even people who were in the airport tried to help so this story is bull and the security in turcs and cacos are dumbasses

Both Bianca Golden, her family and Nikki and her family must be going through both an extremely physically and emotionally draining time right now. The most recent news I read is that Nikki posted bail at $6,000 and was charged with ABH along with Bianca while Carl remains in jail pending a August 8th hearing on a GBH charge. It has to be scary and indeed embarrassing for all involved, Bianca and her mother included. Bianca already had a reputation as prickly and argumentative from ANTM, although she had mellowed some by the end of the season so I’m sure she had no wish to be associated with this kind of incident either. There is never any excuse for violence but it seems from the few details we have that it was a minor incident that escalated with raised tempers and parents getting involved in what was essentially their kids argument.

‘All passengers had passed through security and seats in the departure lounge apparently were the reason of discord. Nikki Blonsky, who was traveling with father Carl Blonsky and other family members, tried to save several seats for her family.
This apparently angered Bianca Golden, 19, who tried to take one of the seats for herself, according to TMZ.com. The argument climaxed when Carl Blonsky assaulted Bianca Golden’s mother, Elaine, who reportedly had to be airlifted to a Miami hospital. Nikki Blonsky suffered injuries as well, adds TMZ, as she was seen the following day wearing a neck brace.’

Nikki and Bianca are the same age, 19, it seems possible that somehow or other they got into a argument over seats…I can see some baggage tug of war being involved, I read in another report that Bianca tried to move the bags Nikki had left on the seats to save them? Perhaps Nikki tried to get them back off her and they got into a scuffle? Maybe both parents tried to intervene and things out of hand? Whatever the reason are how it spiralled out of hand there is NO excuse for violence and especially racial abuse IF the reports are true.

The main issue here will be two things. One regardless of how or why it happened, if the reports are correct, one person sustained at least minor injuries while another ended up in hospital with major head trauma. No one has anything to be proud of here. If you do the crime there must be recompense and remorse. The second is…what is the truth? We don’t know without direct statements from those involved or reliable eye witness reports but the biggest test will be in how they deport themselves throughout the ensuing publicity. Nikki’s fans have long talked of Nikki’s poise in dealing with the media and here will lie one of her hardest tasks to date. It’s irritating yes that the same websites who said they couldn’t report on Nikki before this because she wasn’t deemed newsworthy enough are now reporting this story with glee (yes Gossip Girls and TMZ I’m looking at you) but that is unfortunately the nature of reportage and indeed celebrity. Bad news will always outweigh all the good you do. I’m sure Nikki will come through this with the support of her family, friends and her fans. I hope Mrs Golden recovers fully and sustains no further injury and that her family and Bianca‘s fans likewise support her. Let us hope there has been a lesson learned by all involved and while there will always be those that judge, let us remember that those in glass houses cannot throw stones.

I would commend you for being the only Nikki fan to actually take an objective look at this situation and not remain in denial. For your sakes, I hope she lives up to your expectations in handling this situation.
If only we’d all remembered about living in glass houses and throwing stones earlier, I suppose better late than never.

I sincerely hope, for all concerned, that Elaine Golden makes a speedy and complete recovery. Just an embarrassing and unnecessary situation.

Jamie*a nikki fan by her side @ 08/02/2008 at 3:17 pm

i will say i am a pround nikki fan but i was discusted ,shocked, and speechless,with this i would never think of nikki getting into a fight, but both sides were wrong and we do not know what happened for sure.nikki carl and Bianca are at risk of some jail time. but im crossing my fingers that they will have to pay a fine or do some classes for nikki. im guessing that nikki was poilet about the whole holding seats for her family at first but if ppl watched americas next top model with bianca she was the drama starter on the show that was rude and made false comments toards ppl that have dissibilities or that were different.again i am shocked discusted and not happy to see someone i thought was nice happy go luckey kind of girl and had things going for her .untill this happened but im still on her side.so we don’t really know whats going to happen but i wish her the best.and hopfully this whole sitution will come clean soon.they will probly have more info this week ! so again im praying for both familys and of course nikki

omg. hilarious.
lmao.

Good Lord the people on this site are brutal. I was there departing when I heard the commotion and walked over to see what was going on. The whole story has been so erroneously reported it sickens me. The media has done this young woman and her family a grave injustice by reporting false statements and sensationalized details.

yani, I can’t argue that the media incorrectly reports at times, but hello? A woman is in the hospital, and not from self-inflicted wounds, and more than one source reports racial slurs and comments being shouted out. I’m not saying I don’t believe you, but I doubt you’ve got the whole story either.

You have to be pretty lame to come here, pretending you were there. This was in an airport, aren’t there like security cameras or whatever?

Either way this is disappointing on both sides, I pretty much have a very low opinion of Nikki now, never had much of an opinion on Bianca and I hope whoever caused that women to be in the ICU, gets jail time. Both the girls though should have learned a lesson.

It is unfortunate that models sometimes tend to be…highstrung. That is one reason I don’t ever like those type shows as they are rather stuck on themselves and I really didn’t have to see the show or Bianca to figure she probably had an attitude of “it’s all about me”. HOWEVER, I don’t care how much someone is pushed, if racial slurs started flying there is no excuse for that and it shows what is truly in the heart of that person who uses those kinds of terms. PLUS, no matter how the Golden family might have been snotty or smug or whatever other kind of personality trait that irritates another person, there is no excuse that Ms Golden ended up in a hospital ICU. That wasn’t made up for publicity. She didn’t do that to herself and I’m sure her daughter didn’t do it to her. This is a very unfortunate situation for both the Goldens and the Blonskys. The girls are just starting out on their careers and now have to be seen as divas. Being women, this will be a very hard “tag” for them to escape.

YOU FAIL TO TELL THE REST OF THE STORY, NIKKI’S FATHER WILL BE IN JAIL FOR EIGHT DAYS FOR KNOCKING BIANCA’S MOTHER ON THE HEAD AND PUTTING HER IN THE HOSPITAL IN SERIOUS CONDITION. I GUESS MONEY CAN’T BUY CLASS, A LESSON TO ALL IF PEOPLE AREN’T ACTUALLY IN THE SEAT THEN THE SEAT IS UP FOR GRABS IT’S IGNORANT TO HOLD SEATS UNLESS SOMEONE IS HANDICAPPED. AND NIKKIS FAT ASS SHOULD STAND UP AND RUN LAPSE AROUND THE AIRPORT INSTEAD OF FIGHTING OVER SEATS.

Also, I believe that if those seats that were fought over were not reserved then they should be first come first serve.
I myself would have insisted upon sitting down if I saw the seat or table.
I would have moved into them and then it would be up to the other party to take the seat away from me.
I got to say that wouldn’t be easy.

Thank You

D.M.

The black people here were probably “in the right” in this case.

D.M.

I’m not a fan of either party but having heard what the fight was over I just had to say something. The seats in the waiting lounge are for people to sit on and not for luggage. It is perfectly alright to reserve one or two seats but to hog 5 is a bit pushing it. In this case Nikki was in the wrong. I’m not condoning the fisti cuffs and biting and as to who began the first assault, I don’t know the full details. But to beat up someone over this and especially if you’re the bigger and stronger of the opposing party is just bullying in my category. It is shameful to say the least and I hope something valuable is learnt from this fracas.

Just went through the posts and I totally agree with Naomi’s and Karen’s comments. You couldn’t have put it better.

However, there is no need for name calling here. Calling Nikki all those unsavoury names is being just plain mean and malicious. Totally uncalled for. I should think by now, Nikki and her family will have learnt a costly lesson. She still is talented but could do with anger management. Anyway, I wish her the best and hopefully, Bianca’s mom makes a full recovery.

Jeff–

You need to stop assuming that any critical remark on this site against Nikki Blonsky is coming from a Vanessa Hudgens fan, because I definitely am not! I will give Vanessa one thing–she handled her mistake (a TRUE mistake, not one which resulted in another human being being hospitalized) with grace and poise. She moved forward without placing the blame on anyone except herself and I can respect that.

But this *****, on the other hand, deserves everything that happens as a result of her and her father’s disgusting behavior. If the charges pf prejudice are true…how the hell do you travel to a predominantly black country and have the gall to throw racial slurs at anyone!!! Even if they are proven false, a woman was hurt badly enough to be placed in ICU and that’s a fact. For that Blonsky’s father deserves the maximum penalty and she better not get off with a slap on the wrist either. Nobody likes a bully, much less woman-beating and disgustingly fat ass ones!
