Stripper found guilty of glassing Neighbours star Scott McGregor
A strip club employee has been found guilty of assault after she threw a glass at Neighbours star Scott McGregor during an angry altercation earlier this year. Danielle ‘Ivy’ Lee told the court how she had been left upset after Scott called her a series of ‘degrading names’.
She has been sentenced to an 18 month good behaviour bond and ordered to pay Scott’s medical costs. Scott, best known for playing Detective Mark Brennan for six years in soap, denied verbally attacking Danielle in the Gold Coast club. He sistained a small cut which required three stitches after she threw the glass at him.
Addressing the court, Danielle explained at the trial: ‘He said: “F*** off you dirty s**t. You are a piece of s**t. I would never take someone as dirty as you”. He said: “I am better than that. I am better than you. F*** off”.’
According to a report in The Courier Mail, the 25-year-old exotic danger said she felt ‘degraded’ and insisted that she had only intended to throw the contents of the glass. She told the court: ‘I was so furious that someone had abused me like that. I was so upset, hurt and angry, but I never meant to hurt anyone.
Magistrate Mark Howden on Tuesday found Scott’s evidence to be evasive, and that he had verbally insulted Danielle. But he also ruled that Danielle’s response was ‘disproportionate’.
Scott will leave his role in the soap later this year.
