TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- A woman has sued a former Carolina Panthers cheerleader for allegedly punching her at a bar.

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. Thomas and another cheerleader, Angela Keathley, had emerged from a stall after other patrons yelled at them, police said.

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."

"- Reading between the lines when this story first appeared a few weeks back, they were having sex and making quite a commotion about it so that the other bathroom patrons became upset and then disgusted. Both "cheerleaders" lost their jobs with the football team as a result."

"When Coked-Up Sapphic Cheerleaders Attack," next week on Fox.

The cheerleaders' version is that one girl was getting sick, the other one was in the stall with her trying to help, and some chicks started getting irked at the wait and taunted them, calling them lesbians, etc. True or not, they did come out swinging.
