Grace Jones: She's Lost Control Again Grace Jones in Eurostar attack By Alexa Baracaia, Evening Standard 6 April 2005 Actress and singer Grace Jones had to be escorted off a Eurostar train by police in Kent after allegedly attacking a train manager, it was revealed today. The 56-year-old star was reported by passengers to have grabbed the female manager's arm and sworn at her in French and English in a row over a ticket upgrade. The 39-year-old train manager, who has not yet been named, contacted British Transport Police (BTP) who came aboard the Paris to London train when it reached a scheduled stop at Ashford last night. The train was held up for 15 minutes as Jamaican-born Jones, who starred in the James Bond film A View To A Kill, refused to move. Eventually she was taken off the train by three BTP officers. Later, her personal assistant arrived by car and drove her to London. The incident began when Jones, who had boarded the 7.43pm train in Paris with a first-class ticket, moved into the premium class area. Eurostar communications director Paul Charles said: "Grace Jones was challenged by the train manager and was told that, as she did not have a premium class ticket, she would have to pay for an upgrade. "She said she had no money and refused to move. Passengers told us that she was arguing and verbally abusing the train manager. She then attacked the manager, grabbing her arm. "A male catering assistant managed to separate the two women and tried to calm Ms Jones down." Jones would have paid about £300 for a first-class return ticket. A one-way premium upgrade would have cost her an additional £70. Mr Charles said: "We are not pressing charges but we will not tolerate any verbal or physical abuse from anyone against passengers or staff on Eurostar." A BTP spokesman at Ashford said: "Ms Jones was challenged over her ticket and asked to pay an excess charge. She refused to pay and officers were called. "She left the train at their request. No further action is being taken." The train manager has been with Eurostar for 11 years. Jones has a reputation for fiery behaviour. | |

All I can picture is her saying: "You want me off this train because you think I am gay? I know a gay person when I see one. He!...HE is gay!" | |

Grace Jones puts a cork in it Nice to see Grace Jones back in the news for a drunken dispute on Eurostar. When Grace had a music career, she was picked up at the airport in the UK on her way to a meeting with her record company by a young lad, for whom looking after Grace was his first job in the music industry. Driving into London, Grace announced she was hungry, ordered the car to pull over and demanded her new assistant buy her Hula-Hoops, which she insisted on eating off his fingers. When they reached the record company offices, Grace demanded that the boy attend the meetings with her. Once the meeting started, Grace took his hand, shoved it up her skirt and inserted one of his fingers into her arsehole, where it remained throughout the meeting. | |

Jones has a reputation for fiery behaviour. You think? Considering she isn't working these days, no wonder she refused to pay the extra charges! "I'm Grace Jones, bitch!" BTW, I bet I know why Anxiety chose that paticular photo...In a search for "Grace Jones" about twevle topless or near nude photos show up and THAT is the first clean one! | |
