Missy Elliott's Birthday Party Ends In Fight

A club waitress was allegedly assaulted by Missy Elliot's make-up artist at the rapper's 37th birthday celebrations in New York this weekend.

The party was taking place at the NYC Marquee nightclub when a waitress apparently tried getting close to Busta Rhymes, who was one of the guests. Missy's make-up artist, Deborah Padilla, reportedly got into a confrontation with the waitress and then a fight broke out.

According to an eyewitness, "There were people crying, bottles flying and Missy trying to get out of there. It was pandemonium."

Padilla was arrested after the brawl and the waitress filed charges, claiming she'd been "hit above the eye".
