A lawyer for
Brooke Shields has issued a statement about the actress' involvement in an
alleged May 4 assault between
Kiefer Sutherland and fashion designer Jack McCollough.
"A number of statements have been attributed to Ms. Shields in the media that are neither true nor authorized," attorney Gerald Lefcourt tells Usmagazine.com. "These statements were obviously made by those who were not in attendance at the party and constitute their version of events. While at the party she was bumped into by Jack McCollough and
Kiefer Sutherland became concerned. Kiefer has always been a gentleman in her company. Both Jack and Kiefer are friends of Ms. Shields and she regrets this unfortunate situation."

Kiefer Sutherland and events of last Monday evening," Miller said. "We are confident, however, that the investigation being conducted by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and the NYPD will confirm that
Kiefer Sutherland was neither the instigator nor a wrongdoer in this incident."
Sutherland is to be arraigned June 22 at Manhattan Criminal Court.
