BIANCA/BLONSKY BRAWL CASE DROPPED: Assault charges dismissed for 'Top Model' and 'Hairspray' stars, but Blonsky's dad not so lucky.
*Assault charges have been dropped for both "America's Next Top Model" veteran Bianca Golden and "Hairspray" star Nikki Blonsky stemming from an airport brawl last summer in Turks and Caicos, according to reports.
However, the actress' father Carl Blonsky will still face charges of grievous bodily harm.
The women, both 20, were arrested on July 29 at the Providenciales International Airport following a fight between their two families. According to witness accounts, the actress had tried to save seats for her family by placing luggage there, leaving nowhere for Golden and her mom to sit.
Heated words escalated to fisticuffs and Golden's mom, Elaine, ended up being airlifted to a Miami hospital with head injuries. Blonsky had been charged with assault and actual bodily harm while Golden was accused of bodily harm. Both were cleared of the charges. Carl Blonsky, meanwhile, has pleaded not guilty to grievous bodily harm.
Since her "Top Model" season aired, Golden has signed with a New York and South African modeling agency, has appeared in Macy's ads, numerous magazines and as a New York fashion week model, including a finale show for "Project Runway."
