Celebrity Justice
Country Singer Accused of Assaulting Non-Fan

Posted Apr 22nd 2008 4:57PM by TMZ Staff

Miranda LambertMiranda Lambert -- a finalist on the 2003 season of "Nashville Star" -- is accused of assaulting a woman just because she didn't know who Lambert was!

Aisha Esbay, the alleged victim, tells TMZ she was sitting at a bar with friends when one of them recognized Lambert and wanted a pic. Esbay approached Lambert, said she didn't know her but her friend wanted a photo.

Lambert, Esbay says, was pissed, and shoved her into a bar stool -- multiple times.

Smith County Sherriff's Dept. tells TMZ they're investigating. At worst, they say, it will be a Class C misdemeanor -- kinda like a violent speeding ticket.

Lambert's reps tell TMZ they're in the dark about the whole thing.

7. I HIGHLY doubt ANYONE, even a celebrity, would assault someone just for the sake of not knowing who they were..

10. I LOVE Miranda even more after this. I am so tired of all the girly girls who are passing themselves off as country kick ass (Underwood, anyone). Miranda is the REAL thing. I would buy her a shot of Jack after this. We need more like you!!!!

14. "Lambert, Esbay says, was pissed, and shoved her into a bar stool -- multiple times." - Aisha is going to have trouble trying to forget her now.
