During the first 6 weeks of filming “Bad Girls Club,” things had been so quiet that the Kenner, Louisiana police department switched from two off-duty officers outside 24 hours a day to just one.Then came Tuesday night. Reserve officer Mike Sigur was less than an hour into his shift when one of the cast members opened the front door of the home.
Tasha Malek, 23, told Sigur she had just been assaulted and wanted to file a formal complaint. Malek, wearing a pink shirt and white shorts, said another cast member in the Oxygen Network show slapped her in the face and that the two wrestled to the ground before the production crew separated them.What happened in the house, as Malek explained to Sigur, resulted from 23-year-old Natashia Townsend being unfriendly since the production began.
“(T)his has been going on since the beginning,” she told Sigur. “This girl is 200 pounds, and I am prettier than her and she doesn’t like it.” In the police report, written by officer Peter Foltz, Townsend is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall and 150 pounds. Malek is listed as 5-4 and 110.
Townsend told police she had grabbed a garbage bag and was trying to put some of Malek’s belongings in it. She said it was Malek who struck her in the face.
In the end, police issued summonses to both women. With the exception of Tuesday night fight, city officials said, the production hasn’t attracted much local attention or added unusual traffic or crowds to Chateau Estates. No neighbors have complained, police said.
