Miranda Lambert Accuser Winds Up in Jail

A Texas woman who claimed the country songbird assaulted her at a party last weekend was arrested Friday for filing a false police report.
Aisha Esbay had told officers that Lambert cussed at her and shoved her several times after she approached the singer during an album-release party for a fellow musician at Bootleggers, a club in Tyler, which is not far from Lambert's hometown of Lindale.
"After police spent numerous hours researching the case, Esbay's claims were found to be completely false," a rep for Lambert said in a statement.
"Her story did not check out," Lt. Larry Wiginton of the Smith County Sheriff's Officer told the Tyler Morning Telegraph. "She and her mother are the only ones who saw it that way. No one else in the establishment, including bartenders and wait staff corroborated her story."
According to Esbay's account of the incident, Lambert had been hanging out with "Austin" crooner Blake Shelton at the event when Esbay went up to her to ask if she would take a photo for a friend. "Maybe later," is what she says Lambert told her.
She went back over to the Nashville Star chanteuse after she observed her being rude to another friend, and it was then that the singer got nasty, Esbay told the Morning Telegraph on Tuesday.
"I walked back over there to tell Miranda that she shouldn't treat her fans like that, and she jumped up and started cussing me saying I was in the VIP section and needed to go back with the other trailer trash," she said.
"I’m not suing anyone and don’t want anything from Miranda. What I am doing by filing the report is letting her know that just because she is famous she can’t do this to other people."
Meanwhile, Esbay is currently being held in Smith County Jail on the charge of filing a false report, a misdemeanor that could result in a fine and/or jail time.
