(although, am I the only one that finds this unlikely? Just doesn't seem the type, unless I've really missed something...)

I'm going to wait until I hear more about the subject because right now they're not saying he did it; just that he 'allegedly' did it.

I mean; I remember when Matthew was accused of having sex with someone a few years ago; and then they claimed she lied about it to get money because she had been fired.

I agree, Julia. He doesn't come off that way at all.

The story seems a little odd. I mean he's Matthew Fox and he has to get on her bus? I find it odd he didn't go to the bar with people; usually he has a small gathering of people; and a driver.

Also; if Matthew hit me in the chest and stomach I wouldn't have the strength to punch him bag. Let alone pack enough punch to break my hand or cut his lip; which she is saying she did.

The story seems weird to me.

[Brooke]

I really don't buy the story now. In another media source they said 'stomach'.

But why would Fox go for her breast and her crotch? I mean...I think this might be a story either made up or blown out or proportion.

Edit:

Heather Bormann, 29, of Cleveland, a charter bus driver who got into a scuffle with Matthew Fox early Sunday morning, is giving her side of the story.

She told the Cleveland Plain Dealer in a Monday interview that she was attacked by Fox, 45, who is in Cleveland to film I, Alex Cross, when she refused to let him on a bus that was reserved for a private party.

The mother of three said she did not realize it was Fox until after he was in police custody.

"He smelled like a liquor cabinet, like a bar," Bormann explained to the Plain Dealer. "I told him, 'Sorry, buddy, this is a private party. You have to get off my vehicle.' I told him three times. He never said a word. He just looked at me."

She said Fox starting "swinging on her," which left bruises on her arms, right leg, thighs and chest. Bormann said when he would not stop, she punched him in the mouth, sending him stumbling back. An off-duty police officer then got involved. Bormann says she is pressing charges against the actor, who has not commented on the incident.

Her story changed here; A LOT. First it was 'her chest and crotch' now she has bruises on her legs, thighs, AND her arms?

I agree, Brooke.

I wouldn't believe any of it. It seems like a publicity stunt to me. Matthew Fox doesn't come across as someone who would do that in any situation.

I refuse to believe it unless there's something more concrete to go on.

I agree, Amy. Especially with her changing her story like that.

I mean; I'd believe it if he had a history of that sort of behavior.

[Wickedgal]

No, you can't rely on someone who changes their words. If her story was consistent, I'd find her more credible a witness, but if she changes little details like that, I'm sure it isn't a far stretch to imagine she might have fabricated the whole thing.

I don't know what to think though :/ It's Matthew Fox. You wouldn't want to think he's capable of doing this type of thing.

He's had a woman do it to him before. She got fired saw Matthew Fox and was like "Pay check" She worked at Hooters and I think he went there with friends; either that or a strip club and she made up this story that they slept together; his rep denied everything; and in a few days she came out saying she lied.

But yeah; he's never done anything like this AND she changed her story. When I read that I was like "She has to be lying." I thought it sounded fishy before; now it sounds even more so with her changing her story.

[Brooke]

The Lady Busy Driver changed her story AGAIN!!!!!! Just tell the damn truth!!! Now I really don't believe her at all.

The title is "Matthew Fox's Victim Is Making It Hard To Feel Sorry For Her."

"Fans of Lost and hot guys in general had their hearts broken yesterday when Matthew Fox pulled the ultimate d-bag move and punched a lady bus driver in her crotch and in her breast. As you may have heard, the altercation took place because she wouldn't let him on the party bus she was conductor of. As you may not have heard, the actor reportedly "smelled like a liquor cabinet."

Attractive, huh? It's kind of hard to ever look at Matthew in the same light again. But you know what? This bus driver is really starting to piss me off.

Yes, I feel bad for her that she was struck by a dude, but the woman won't shut up. Every time I head on over to TMZ, which is ... totally not often, it seems like there's a new interview with this lady. In other words, she's milking.

The first interview I read with her, she said Fox "leaned in and started punching my crotch and breast." Now, a day and a ton of hype later, this is what she's saying: "He just stepped in for a right hook to my pelvis area and started wailing on me like I was a man."

Look, by NO means am I sticking up for Fox and what he did -- it was totally out of line, and trust me, he's been snipped from my celeb crush list -- but Heather (the bus driver) needs to just press charges (which she's doing), collect her money if she gets any, and take a nice, long, well-deserved vacation. She's on a media tour right now! I mean, she was right to talk to the tabloids in the first place -- the world should know what a loser he is -- but enough is enough. She's bordering on fame-whore now. And nobody likes that."

It looks like she's saying different things to different interviews. She said he hit her chest and crotch. Then it was he wailed on her; hitting her over and over; causing bruises to arms and legs. Now he did a right hook to her pelvis.' How tall is this broad?

I think if he did this she wouldn't have to change her story; she'd remember what he did to her.

OH GEEZ! I bet what really happened was he pushed her and then she hit him. "But a right hook to the crotch?!" LOL doubtful!

That's what I think too.

The way she said how she delt with him before the 'incident' she didn't sound nice about it. Telling him he was trespassing. I'd have handled a situation like that differently. A) He's drunk I wouldn't want him driving or getting hurt. I'd have said "SIr, this is a private bus; but lets see if we can't get you a cab. By the way...I totally was a Jate shipper." And then faint. That's how she should have handled it. Well that's how I would have handled it.

[eloramoon]

Well, whether he did it or not he's now been charged:

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/31/bus-driver-files-assault-charge-against-lost-star-matthew-fox/

My guess is, at this point, he will probably plead guilty and settle out of court. Which SUCKS because the truth of what happened won't really get out. You would think that there would have been witnesses.

I definitely don't think it happened like she said. To me it sounds like she maybe over dramatized what happened, but I do think something happened. Sounds like he probably was drunk and got a little belligerent. But still, I doubt he "punched" her. You know?

I can't look at him the same anymore, but atleast it will make it easier to vid him in my AUs as a psycho. He does make a good crazy guy, so he must have a little crazy in him! I wonder what his wife thinks!!!

I don’t think it happened the way she’s explaining it; especially considering that she has changed her story four times. Every time she is an interview; her hits are worse as well as where he hit her.

This story is one huge mess and filled with holes. I mean there were men on her bus; it was a bachelor party going on and she said there were guests; and they didn’t do anything? I find that odd.

Apparently after it happened the cop was like “Do you know who that guy is?” And she was like “Yeah; the guy who hit me.” And he explained to her who he was; I don’t know if that was the best move because someone said she keeps calling TMZ and People.

To be honest; I can look at him the same. I might be more bias; but this woman is obviously up to something. He doesn’t have a history of this kind of behavior or violence; and I think she’s blowing it way out of proportion.

The woman handled herself unprofessional. If I was the owner of the bus company I would be embarrassed. He was drunk and needed a ride; she was like “You are trespassing on my bus buddy.” She talked down to him. She should have gotten a cab ride back to his hotel or tried to find him another means of transportation.

According to CNN the prosecutors were interviewing witnesses BUT they only quoted Heather Bormann (The driver) and someone else said she has a history of doing this. So at this point; anything is possible.

I think if it happened she wouldn’t have to lie about it. Also; someone asked her if he offered to pay would she drop the charges and she said that was a question for her lawyers. Of course she’s seeking cash. If not she wouldn’t be whoring herself out to interviewers left and right.

Also where she hit him changes in her story too. First it was his mouth; and then in another it was his jaw.

Matthew Fox's charges were dropped!!!!!!!!!!!!!

City spokeswoman Andrea Taylor said in a statement Friday the decision was made "after a thorough review of the facts."

"I disagreed most strenuously with the city prosecutor, who failed to see that this is, after all, a criminal act. It is not a simple civil act," Stark said.

I really don't buy it as a criminal act. I mean; I think they really did review the facts; and realized that something was missing here. Because there were; this was a strange story, and her side kept changing. That's not right.

Bormann filed a civil lawsuit against Fox in Cuyahoga County this week, alleging Fox engaged in "intentional, aggravated felonious assault and battery" and inflicted intentional emotional distress.

I don't understand how she can sue him if his charges were dropped. I mean; I feel like that's a double jeopardy; but I don't know enough about law to really say much or know. I could see her being able to sue him IF he was charged proving he was guilty.

She is suing Matthew for 75,000 dollars. I think she was always out for the cash.
