Carolina Panthers Cheerleader Lesbian Sex Scandal Lawsuit
Published: Dec 07, 2005 - 12:02 PM
Former Carolina Panthers cheerleaders Renee Thomas is being sued by a woman she allegedly punched in a bar in Tampa in early November. Melissa Holden, 26, of Tampa, was waiting in line in the bathroom of a Tampa bar on Nov. 6 when Victoria Renee Thomas punched her, police said, according to an AP report.
Thomas was accused by some patrons of engaging in a lesbian sex act with fellow Carolina Panthers TopCat cheerleader Angela Keathley in the bathroom stall.
She later denied having sex with Angela.
The pair then emerged from a stall after other patrons yelled at them, according to police, and that's when Renee allegedly punched Melissa Holden in the face. Both cheerleaders were arrested.
AP:
Holden filed the lawsuit Friday. It said Thomas "intentionally, willfully and maliciously assaulted and battered" her. The University of South Florida student and nurse seeks more than $15,000 for her injuries.
"I've been humiliated," she said. "People assume I have a boyfriend or a husband who beat me up."
