Supermodel faces law suit over punch up
Posted on Thu, 07/26/2012 - 14:42 in World News
(CNS): Cayman’s Selita Ebanks is facing possible legal action as a result of an alleged punch up between her and Telemundo model Liza Irizarry, 34, who says that the former Victoria Secret's model broke her nose. Ebanks allegedly took offense to Irizarry greeting her boyfriend with a kiss inside a Miami nightclub last year. Numerous reports across the international media have reported Irizarry's claims that she had a complex fracture after Ebanks slugged her one as she warned her to stay away from Ebanks's man, BET star Terrence J. The supermodel and TV star, who has denied the accusation, has never been arrested over the alleged fight, which is said to have happened last November.
However, Irizarry claims she suffered a serious injury as a result of the incident.
"When she saw me, she said, 'Don't be kissing my man',” she told a New York tabloid. "I said to myself, 'So what, that's my friend.' That's when she hit me on the nose. I went to swing back - that's when all her friends jumped in. I felt hair pulling and fists coming at me."
Miami police have never arrested or charged Ebanks over the alleged assault but Irizarry did file a police report and sent them her medical records.
Nine months later the model is now seeking financial recompense for pain, suffering and medical bills. "I'm so angry, because she thinks she can get away with anything," Irizarry said. "You shouldn't be allowed to put your hands on anyone for no reason. Me saying hello to someone doesn't give you the right to hit me."
Cayman’s Selita (29) , who recently appeared as a phoenix in Kanye West's short film 'Runaway' , has said that the allegations are "baseless".

Each person/individual has a life to live the way they want to. She is at liberty to make he own decisions and live her life free from mean peoples criticisms and inuendos. Get a life and make your lives better. By trying to take away from someone will not make you any better off. Try building on what you have and make your self a better person.
Envy, hate, and sarcasm dosen't bode well for anyone. Lift up somebody along the way and we will all gain from the help that was rendered.

What police report?. The
What police report?. The article says "Selita's manager denies all claims telling us, "Selita Ebanks was not involved in a physical altercation in Miami. This story is false." We contacted DREAM nightclub who says they are unaware of the incident". Obviously pics of bruises (not of any altercation) do not prove that Selita assaulted her at all.
Why are you more inclined to believe Liza?

Not only did I read the article, I understood it. What is referred to as a police report is simply Liza's complaint containing her allegations. Again, we have no photos of any altercation. Bruises could have been caused by anything or anyone.
6th grade education? I think you are a little confused.

This is no different than when she is here, ask anyone about her numerous altercations with women over some dude. Its really silly for someone who relies on their looks in their career to risk damaging her 'brand' by fighting over sill crap like this. Luckily she refers to herself in interviews as a New Yorker so let them have her.

Typical Caymanian women and
Typical Caymanian women and their insecurities. You all seem to thing fighting for/over a man will help you keep him. How about using your brain next time instead of your fist?
FYI, unless its your husband it's not worth it. Also people greet each other with kisses in many cultures; Latin Community included. (general knowledge)
I can see education was lost on you.....

She is not representing
She is not representing Cayman, she works for herself and is not on the COG's payroll or otherwise representing or competing for Cayman, so who really cares what she does. If she was a paid rep, then yes, all the whiners would have a legitimate reason to bash her.
