Roy 'Chubby' Brown 'punched woman in car park dispute'

Accused: Roy 'Chubby' Brown denies assaulting the 21-year-old woman
12 April 2012

Comedian Roy "Chubby" Brown hit a 21-year-old woman in the face during a foul-mouthed dispute in a supermarket car park, a court heard today.

The 6ft-plus 65-year-old, famous for his blue act, punched slightly-built Kelly Oliver after he nearly bumped his Lexus into her grandmother's parked car, Teesside magistrates were told.

The court heard he wound down his window and shouted: "What the f**k are you looking at? 'You should have moved your f**king car'."

Brown, charged under his real name Royston Vasey, denies common assault last September in Sainsbury's car park in Middlesbrough town centre.

Viviene Turner, prosecuting, said Brown, owho lives in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, reacted angrily after Miss Oliver watched him reverse within an inch of her grandmother's car.

Miss Oliver, who is 5ft 3in and seven and a half stone, said she did not respond and walked over to a ticket machine, but moments later Brown got out of his car and strode up to her. She claimed Brown hit her with his right hand on the left side of her face.

Miss Turner told the court Miss Oliver's grandmother came to her aid shouting: "What are you doing? She's only a bairn."

Brown was said to have replied: "A f**king bairn?"

He drove off when Miss Oliver's grandmother told him she would note down the registration number of his car, magistrates heard.

Brown claimed Miss Oliver called him a "fat bastard", which he said caused him alarm and distress. However, Miss Turner said: "Even if the magistrates do find unpleasantries were exchanged, would this, given the nature of Mr Vasey's job and his stage act, cause him alarm and distress?"

The case continues.
