Woman Throws Table, Chairs Go Flying During Out-of-Control Fashion Show Brawl

Mar. 1, 2013 1:46pm Billy Hallowell

It was a fashion show and competition gone terribly wrong. After a contestant apparently didn’t like a judge’s decision, she threw a chair — an action that sparked a brawl so unbelievable you have to see it to believe it.

The antics unfolded in Charlotte, N.C., where a local group rented space for an event purportedly called the “NC Awards Ball.” Charlene Henderson, the woman who owns the location where the incident occurred, told WBTV-TV that she was in disbelief over what unfolded.

“I’m still baffled. My people that were here are just still dumbfounded on how it turned out really,” she told the outlet, as an orderly and peaceful event quickly turned violent.

NC Awards Ball Erupts Into Massive Brawl, Woman Throws Chair and Chaos Ensues

A YouTube clip that was uploaded on Sunday shows the brawl that inevitably unfold. In the video, people are seen throwing tables and chairs at one another. One man seems to have a blunt object and another has a taser. One word easily describes the scene: Chaos.

“Let’s take it outside. Take it outside,” a man can be heard saying on the mic, but to no avail. Furor continues.

One woman picked up an entire table and miraculously threw it across the room — all while seemingly holding onto her handbag. A group of men responded by tossing chairs at her, but she appeared unshaken.

A frantic 911 call provides even more bizarre details, as a man seeking emergency assistance purportedly told authorities, “It’s escalating! He has a sword and an axe!”

Police are apparently having a tough time getting anyone to comment about what unfolded, so the video is serving as prime evidence in solving the case. As of Thursday, no charges had been filed.

See the bizarre clip, below:

According to WBTV-TV, Henderson now worries about how her venue will be perceived. However, she defends the event promoter, claiming that he did everything he was supposed to do and that adequate security was on hand.

Fubared, don’t plead ignorance. The video is not racist. A video can’t be racist. The Blaze publishes a high percentage of this kind of video. It’s the Blaze’s curatorial/editorial selections – it’s what they chose to highlight. The racism comes from you the poster. Look at your fellow commenters in this thread. It’s loaded with hate speech. I personally don’t care. I’m just pointing it out.

And libertarians want what??…….Maybe before they ask for marriage, they might want to clean up their act.
The conservatives go to church and try to help each other out as much as possible, seems like libertarians only want more help without applying some type of civil adjustment to their own kind.

I do believe that is the first time I have ever seen anyone pick up a full length meeting table and swing it like a baseball bat. For a moment, I though she was going to down it like a slice of pizza. Bad shade of blue, Boo.

Nice….Very very impressive….I just wish that conservatives would not hold such crazy parties.

Sad thing is that the president is on the news talking about sequestration, and people in Washington making in an excess of 150k a year are possibly getting furl-lowed, while these people are living on food-stamps and trying to have a party……As long as Big Government like 240 thousand Homeland security agents are making in an excess of 150k a year, we will always have these problems.

Local police better brace for civil unrest since the POS president is still stirring the pot, I would never expect the Low Info Voter to understand anything more than what the current Dictator tells the poor food-stamp employees….Keep your powder dry and your children close.

Bald, get your fever on. How is a video of drag peeps racist? Why is it people in drag are so violent? Is it the confusion of attire?
These racists are voting for a kenyan, based on his half white bro’s record. Half racist?

It’s called “media filter.” The Blaze reports a high percentage of this type of video because it generates fevered clicks from its base.

  CDN1979 is correct. Of course this happened. And of course, The Blaze posts a high percentage of these types of videos because it knows that the tea nutters will all post up their bigotry. It’s on full display here. Like frothing dogs.

  All you racists! Anyone who says anything bad about these decent, orderly, fine, upstanding creme de la creme of society, must be racist.They were just showing their exuberance in cleaning up after the event. Look at how they are trying to stack the tables and throwing trash in the garbage as they hone their basketball skills. Shame on you.

  Let’s see….I just typed “NC Awards Ball” in my search engine. I got at least 20 hits, including Perez Hilton. Many of the links had the video, which was posted to YouTube.
  
  I got say, that lady heaving the table….that was impressive. Wow! Wonder what she could have done with a shot put or a javlin? Maybe she should try out for the caber toss.

That’s why I don’t have fashion shows at my house any more – we always end up throwing tables and chairs at each other.
