Rumors have been circulating around the net that choreographer, Laurie Ann Gibson (Making the Band) was involved in an altercation at Missy Elliott’s birthday party last week.  In an interview with AllHipHop.com, she tells her side of the story and clears up the rumors:

“When I read the paper I was in shock,” Gibson explained to AllHipHop.com. “I was with Missy having a great time and didn’t even know there was a fight. I found out later it was my makeup artist and I got to her the next day.”

She then goes on to criticize Marquee, which is the venue where the party was held:

“I really find it offensive that they are [allegedly] always doing something to my black sisters and brothers,” Gibson declared. “That club is a little extra in my opinion and it’s disappointing.”

The NY Post reported that the fight was caused by a waitress who pushed her makeup artist, Deborah Padilla, while trying to get to rapper, Busta Rhymes.

The waitress has sinced press charges, and Padilla was arrested for the altercation.

I definitely agree that Marquee is not a good venue. I’m definitely not a fan of that place, 49 Grove, Tenjune, or any other nightclub that turns its noses up at Black people that aren’t celebrities.
