Celebrity Justice
Country Singer Accused of Assaulting Non-Fan

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.

91. Just so everyone knows, Aisha Esbay was ARRESTED for filing this FALSE report against Miranda Lambert. Justice has been properly served. Woo Hoo!!!

Aisha (hereby known as looser skanny ho) made the entire story up, and it didn't dawn on her that in a crowded bar, there would be hundreds of witnesses able to shoot her story full of hundreds of holes. lol. She is a REDNECK MORON!

92. Here is the official press release:

Nashville, TN - (April 25, 2008) -- After three days of investigating the alleged assault charges filed against singer/songwriter Miranda Lambert, Lieutenant Larry Wiginton of Smith County Sheriff's Office announced today all charges against Ms. Lambert have been dropped and accuser Aisha Esbay has been charged with filing a false report to a police officer which is considered a Class B misdemeanor, equivalent to jail time, a fine, or both. Esbay has been arrested and is currently being held at Smith County Jail.

Earlier this week Esbay filed charges accusing Lambert of physical assault while in attendence at Bootlegger's in Tyler, TX. After police spent numerous hours researching the case, Esbay's claims were found to be completely false.

Maybe next time some of you will think twice before making comments that were completely uncalled for and get ALL the facts before doing so.

96. it has not been proven untrue that the girl was treated poorly.....I have never known anyone who has gotten upset by being treated well....if treated well, fans will only want to brag to people on what a swell person she/he was....theres some fire wherre this smoke came from....my whole point is if you want to make your living from the public, then don't bite the hand that feeds you ---just go ahead and go "far far away"

97. where are all you freaking idoits now that all of this is cleared. you all made such harsh judgements and said some very bad things. It would be nice for you to make a little statement of reality. Miranda is an awesome singer and needs to be given respect like the other new singers coming up. you don't even know what all it takes to be a singer country or what ever.
I was surprised at you all that don't even know her but you had negative things to say. You must have entirely too much time on your hands. The family has been hurt and we need to surport their privacy. Now Ms. Esbay, enjoy your jail time or probation - could be up to one year and $1000 fine. GO Texas!!
