Party Bus Driver Says Matthew Fox Punched Her

CelebritiesDirt Bag

On Saturday night, Matthew Fox got into an altercation in Cleveland, Ohio when he tried to enter a party bus even though he wasn’t on the guest list. We’ve all been tempted to violate the laws of the party bus, but Fox allegedly took things way too far by punching the driver in her breast and “stomach area.” The woman retaliated by punching him “in the mouth … causing a cut on his lip.” Fox was handcuffed by an off-duty cop, then detained by police. He wasn’t formally arrested, but police are investigating. [TMZ]
The driver, Heather Bormann, tells TMZ she punched Fox in self-defense, explaining, “This was the only way I could protect myself…..from a man beating up on a woman.” She says Fox was drunk and incoherent, and when she told him he was trespassing he, “leaned in and started punching my crotch and breast.” [TMZ]
Some guy who took a photo with Fox that night insists he was sober. [HR]

While Beyonce spent the weekend celebrating her pregnancy, her sister Solange Knowles had an unfortunate run in with the law. “A police officer just pulled a weapon on me…I have done NOTHING illegal, against the law, or anything of the sort,” she Tweeted. “I am simply tired of police using arrogance, ego and authority as a n offense.” Police say she became “abuse” after she wasn’t allowed into a club and “there was no mention of a gun.” [E!]
Possibly important detail: Solange was turned away because she was holding a 5-foot tall, inflatable banana. The “weapon” in question is a knife police threatened to pop it with. [TMZ]
