Nikki Blonsky, the teenage star of “Hairspray” and her father were arrested Friday in a Caribbean airport on assault charges after being involved in a brawl with a former contestant of “America’s Next Top Model” over seats in the departure lounge.

Of all stars likely to get into a violent fight entailing arrest and hospitalization, few would have chosen Nikki Blonsky, the 19-year-old star of last year’s box office hit “Hairspray.”

Yet there you have it – the unexpected has happened. People.com reports Blonsky and her father were arrested in the Turks and Caicos Islands after getting into what appears to be a very serious physical confrontation with Bianca Golden, a former contestant of “America’s Next Top Model.”

Sgt. Calvin Chase from the Providenciales Police Department in the Turks and Caicos Islands told People.com that the fight started in the departure lounge of the Providenciales International Airport.

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.

Blonsky was released on bail. Her father remained in jail pending an Aug. 8 hearing. Golden was likewise arrested and released on bail.

Both Blonsky and Golden were charged with assault with actual bodily harm. Carl Blonsky was charged with grievous bodily harm.
