Sean Penn' gal pal arrested after catfight

New York (ANI): Renowned model Jessica White engaged in a catfight over a taxi outside a Chelsea club and was arrested for the same after she allegedly hit the other women repeatedly in the face. White, who"s apparently been dating Sean Penn, was charged with misdemeanor assault and released after allegedly yanking the woman's hair and striking her face with her hand.

The witnesses informed that White walked to hail a taxi after leaving a Chelsea club but while standing on the corner of the Street, she got into a dispute with a 28-year-old woman. According to the court complaint, White "pulled the victim's hair and struck [the victim] numerous times in the face with her hand, causing abrasions, swelling and substantial pain."

White, a rough-and-tumble native of Buffalo, is no stranger to trouble with the law and fashion-industry insiders describe the swimsuit beauty as a 'firecracker'. “She was troublesome on shoots.. She would chain-smoke on set, snap at the hairdressers and the makeup artists. She changed agencies several times because she's supposedly difficult to work with," the New York Post quoted a source as saying.

Jeffrey Mennen, the sexy brawler"s lawyer said, “The police report doesn't sound like Jessica, and she must have been provoked."
