Former “America's Next Top Model” contestant Bianca Golden is speaking out on “The Tyra Banks Show” about the July 29 Turks and Caicos airport brawl between her family and “Hairspray” star Nikki Blonsky's family.

According to the aspiring model, the friction started between both families because Nikki Blonsky was rude to Golden’s aunt, which then led to an argument.

The argument escalated to a physical fight, according to Golden.

“(Carl Blonsky) punched my mom,” she told Tyra on the episode, which is set to air Oct. 8.

“He knocked her out,” the former “ANTM” hopeful said. “He hit my mom with such force she stumbled back and when she stumbled back the whole (Blonsky) family got up and attacked my mom.”

That is when the situation only became worse, according to Golden.

“(Nikki) takes her foot and kicks my mom in her vagina, and that’s when my mom fell out completely,” the former-reality show contestant alleged.

“When Nikki kicked my mom, I went and grabbed her arm and she grabbed my earring,” Golden continued. “Her mom sat on her to get her off of me cause her mom saw what was happening and that was that.”

As previously reported on Access, Carl Blonsky plead not guilty to his charge of grievous bodily harm, which carries a maximum punishment of five years in jail. Nikki Blonsky was charged with actual bodily harm.

They are both scheduled to return to court together in Turks and Caicos on Dec. 1.

Golden was also charged with actual bodily harm and is due back in court on Nov. 24.

Following the airport brawl, Golden’s mother, Elaine Golden, was airlifted to a Florida intensive care unit. She suffered a cracked skull and broken nose.
