“Boardwalk Empire” star Paz de la Huerta was charged this morning with assault and other counts after she allegedly punched and former reality TV star Samantha Swetra at a Manhattan hotel.
De la Huerta and Swetra got into a verbal dispute at The Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District on March 20.
The fight began after Swetra made a few snide remarks aimed at Paz — prompting the actress to throw a glass and punch the former MTV’s “The City” star in the face.
“I’m a real actress on HBO,” de la Huerta told police after she was arrested, prosecutors said.
Swetra claims de la Huerta caused her a bloody nose and bruised mouth, prosecutors said.
De la Huerta was also charged in Manhattan Criminal Court with criminal possession of a weapon, attempted assault and harassment.
An order of protection was also issued barring de la Huerta from contacting Swetra.
