Brooke Shields is speaking out about the alleged altercation between Kiefer Sutherland and Jack McCollough.  Kiefer reportedly headbutted Jack after seeing Jack "knock" Brooke to the ground. Kiefer now faces assault charges as a result. Brooke is responding to "neither true nor authorized" statements that have been attributed to her with a statement of her own.

While at the party she was bumped into by Jack McCollough and Kiefer
Sutherland became concerned. Kiefer has always been a gentleman in her
company. Both Jack and Kiefer are friends of Ms. Shields and she
regrets this unfortunate situation."

For his part, Kiefer's attorney has made the following statement:

'We are troubled by the untruthful and self-serving information
circulating regarding Kiefer Sutherland and events of last Monday
evening,' attorney Michael C. Miller said in a statement.

'We are confident, however, that the investigation being conducted
by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and the NYPD will confirm
that Kiefer Sutherland was neither the instigator nor a wrongdoer in
this incident. Out of respect for this law enforcement process, Kiefer
Sutherland will not be making any comment.' "

What an unfortunate mess!
