According to TMZ, Taylor was arrested early Friday (June 14), after a fight began in her apartment. The celebrity news outlet says sources told them that Brittney and an unnamed woman were arguing before things got physical.
Taylor allegedly scratched the woman, which left visible marks on her, and she fled to an elevator. That wouldn’t be the end of it though as Brit-

another elevator and met the
alleged victim in the lobby and another beatdown ensued. Taylor allegedly pulled out her cell phone and threw it at the woman, hitting her in the forehead.

She was released without bail. Sanford Rubenstein, Taylor’s attorney, says his client has a court date set for next month to face the charges.
