Paris Hilton vs. Shanna Moakler
Paris Hilton, who has lately been spotted cuddling up to former Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker, and Barker's estranged wife, 'Dancing with the Stars' Shanna Moakler, both filed police reports early Wednesday morning, alleging they were assaulted at a Hollywood hot spot.
According to Officer Sandra Escalante of the Los Angeles Police Department, Paris told police that at approximately 1:30 a.m., she was the victim of assault at Hyde nightclub, after getting into an unprovoked scuffle with Shanna Moakler.
Hilton's publicist, Elliott Mintz, told TMZ.com, which first reported the incident, Hilton had arrived at Hyde approximately a half-hour earlier.
"Shortly after her arrival, apparently Shanna appeared and, according to a complaint that's just been filed, she struck Paris in her jaw with closed fists," he said. "Paris was hit. She immediately exited the club through the back door.
"Paris told me it was completely out of the blue--without any provocation whatsoever," he said, adding Moakler was "shouting all kinds of foul words" at Hilton "and appeared to be completely out of control."
Mintz and Hilton filed a complaint at the LAPD's Hollywood division--the same location, ironically enough, at which the "Stars Are Blind" singer herself was brought into last month on charges of driving under the influence.
The complaint was lodged just hours after Moakler, a former Miss USA, filed a police report at the same station, against Hilton's on-off ex, Stavros Niarchos.
Police said Shanna accused Stavros of battery, claiming he pushed her in the club. Moakler's publicist, Susan Madore, told the Associated Press the shipping heir, who witnessed the Hilton-Moakler altercation at Hyde, also bent her wrists back, poured a drink over Shanna's head and shoved her down some stairs.
Officers took photos of both Moakler and Hilton at the station, per TMZ.com, though it's unclear whether either had visible injuries.
Police say an investigation is pending. No arrests have yet been made, and no charges have been filed.
