In celebrity legal news, Tila Tequila’s girlfriend Courtenay Semel had a run in with the law last night (August 20).
The 28-year-old daughter of former Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel and star of E!’s Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive was cited for battery after allegedly striking a hotel security guard in Las Vegas.
Semel supposedly left her cell phone at Caesars Palace’s Pure Nightclub after a party hosted by BestofVegas.com at Palazzo Las Vegas’s Sushi Samba. When she went back to retrieve her phone, the club was closed. She demanded that they find the phone and then hit the security guard in the back of the head.
The guard did not suffer any serious injuries. Semel was detained at Caesars Palace’s security office until the police arrived. She was cited and released. No arrest was made. She must pay a fine or face a Las Vegas justice court judge.
