Nadia Almada has been cleared of assault, after she hit a man in a pub.
The Big Brother 5 winner hit out at Richard Oliver in January, after he called her George.
Oliver brought a charge of common assault against Almada, but she was victorious in her claim that she acted in self-defence.
She said: "I'm very relieved justice has been done but it's crazy so much money has been spent on bringing this to court. This is all because I am Nadia. If I was Mrs Smith, nothing would ever have come of it."
"I was scared of being hit with the glass," she continued. "My face pays my mortgage."
