Casey Donovan Attacked in Bar Brawl

Casey DonovanFormer Australian Idol winner Casey Donovan was allegedly assaulted at a Sydney bar on Sunday morning. The 20-year-old singer suffered lacerations to her face and a broken finger in the unprovoked attack.

“She was out with friends having a good time and on the dance floor when she was approached and hassled by these guys,” explained Casey’s stepfather Norm Axford.

“They were making comments about Idol and she told them not to bother her. The next thing one of them punched her twice in the face.”

Police and ambulance were called to the scene, and Casey was taken to the Prince of Wales Hospital for treatment.

What a scary thing. I wish her a speedy recovery!

    She is fat, so it was not unprovoked.

    Surely you’re not suggesting anyone who’s overweight deserves to be punched in the face, are you?

    Are you fat?

    No David, I’m not fat. I just don’t believe that people who are overweight deserve physical violence, nor any less respect than you’d give someone within a normal weight range, or someone who is underweight … not such a crazy ideal to uphold.

    Well, you are wrong.
