Sean Penn’s gal pal was provoked into catfight, claims her lawyer

NEW YORK - Jessica White, who was arrested recently over a catfight outside a club, was provoked into the fight with the alleged victim, her lawyer has claimed.

Jessica was taken into custody after she hit victim Vanessa Kian, repeatedly in the face over a cab.

The 26-year-old American model was held for 12 hours before being released by a judge.

She has been charged with misdemeanour assault and is due in court in December. Stories concerning celebrities frequently get blown up, and I’m confident that when the air is released from this blown-up story that has obviously been over inflated, all that will be left will be hot air with no substance,’ the New York Post quoted the judge as saying.

White and a group of five friends reportedly went to the corner of 10th Avenue and 17th Street to look for a cab when Kian approached White. (ANI)
