America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden is speaking out for the first time about her July 29 airport scuffle with Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky.

On the October 8 episode of The Tyra Banks Show, she says she and her family were in Turks and Caicos to visit their grandfather who "was dying."

When they arrived at the airport, "Nikki Blonsky ... was very rude to my aunt," Bianca says.

"My aunt had two babies in her arms, and she told my aunt, 'You can leave. You can go away,'" Bianca recalls. "I was really upset by that because my aunt and I are close."

When Bianca spoke up, Nikki turned to her and said, "'You need to mind your business. You don't know whats going on.' She went off," the model says. "There was a lot of words exchanged. I got really defensive."

Golden's mother, Elaine, then intervened, telling them both to calm down.

That's when Blonsky's father, Carl, approached her, Golden says.

"Before my mom could walk away from us, her father ... punched my mom," Bianca tells Banks. "He knocked her out. He hit my mom with such force she stumbled back, and when she stumbled back, the whole family got up and attacked my mom."

Bianca said Nikki then kicked her mother in the crotch.

"That's when my mom fell ... completely," Bianca says. "Both the families were arguing. It was like a scene out of a movie. Airport security finally came and separated everybody."

All the while, Bianca claims the Blonsky family were spewing racial epithets at them. "Her father and mother started saying, They got rabies, they got rabies!'" says Bianca.

Bianca says her mother confided in her on the way to the hospital.

"She said to me, 'Bianca, if anything happens to me, I need you to take care of your brother and sister,'" Bianca says. "To hear that from your mom... I was freaking out."

After suffering a broken nose, fractured skull and internal bleeding, Bianca says her mother is now in therapy.

Says the model, "She walk now and shes back."

Nikki and her dad are due in court Dec. 1, where she will answer to charges of common assault and actual bodily harm.

Carl is facing a count of inflicting grievous bodily harm.

    and p.s. biancas mother DID choke nikki. and if i was in that situation, my parents wouldve done the exact same thing. and by the way, she is not racist bianca is turning this whole fight around and making it sound like it was the blonsky's fault. HEY BIANCA, DONT FORGET YOU HIT PEOPLE TOO. HELLO, NIKKI AND HER DAD WERE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WENT TO JAIL.

    ok. first of all, half of you are taking biancas side just because nikki is overweight. thats just wrong and you people really need to grow up. they do need to get nikki and bianca on a talk show together. this is ridiculous, and honestly this whole fight is just plain stupid. we all need to hear the truth right about now.

    What they need to do, is get both of them on a Talk show face 2 face, and let each one tell their side of the story. You can usually tell who's telling the truth by which one is fidgety, or not looking the other one in the eye. But then again its hard to tell. Bianaca ooks like a %@!*#, Nikki Looks like one too! LOL!

    I don't think he's a man, he's a sissy. Because only a sissy will hit a woman regardless.

    Sorry, the stupid computer didnt let me finish my comment. Anyway, like Nikki, I am somewhat curvy and I feel confident in my own body. It is a great to have a curvy person in Hollywood instead of unhealthy actors. I also think that Bianca is on her way to becoming the next Naomi Campbell because of her rude, obscene behavior. I betcha that Binaca is telling lies in order to save her reputation.
