We've learned Terri Seymour -- Simon Cowell's ex -- was assaulted after attending the "American Idol" finale last night.
It happened at L.A. Live -- a complex that includes the Nokia Theatre where "A.I." was taped. A 33-year-old woman walked up to Terri, asked if she was Simon's girlfriend. The suspect allegedly attacked her and attempted to choke her.
The suspect -- Janice Thibodeaux -- was booked on felony battery. She's being held on $52,700 bail.
We're told Terri refused medical treatment. She was escorted out of the complex by three cops.
Just found out Thibodeaux is twice Terri's size, weighing in at 200 lbs.
UPDATE -- TMZ spoke with Thibodeaux's brother and sister who told us Janice is "not crazy" and this is "way out of character" for her.

i'm guessing since Shawn Johnson kicked ass and won DWTS we won't be seeing any news on that whatsoever. But had she lost TMZ would have been all over it. Not sure what it is about Harvey not being able to "man" up and admit when he's been beatdown by a young lady. First Carrie, now Shawn!! F off TMZ!!!
Ok no idea what the first comment says. Anywhoo, Terri Seymour. I'd like to choke her myself!
Where is Kiefer Sutherland when you need him?
Hey TMZ, would you please block MORFIDITE HERVEY`s DMZ from adding any comments??? He or she or He/SHE dont know what the F*ck they are saying. They are just sounding so completely Idiotic. What a waste of space to have them on here.
Now that's the kind of FIRST comment I enjoy... it might be the ramblings of a meth-induced haze, but nonetheless - good job, MORFIDITE.
Who invited that ugly limey to the finale. She is nothing but a sleasy money grabbing bitch. Simon is so much better off without her. She got her mansion now leave hottie alone.

Let's block you for being ugly.
Maybe Sunita hired the fat chick to choke Teri...afterall Sunita is Simon's true love.
Here that annoying sound in the background? That's the constant background sound of LA. Some stupid b*tch having some inane conversation on the cell phone. Nobody ever shuts up but nobody really has anything interesting to say.
Terri is a great gal, a real shame. I don't know anyone who would want to hurt her. Simon did not treat her very well during their relationship. I've know Terri a long time and we've spent many a long night together talking about Simon, stardom and life.
