'Michelle Rodriguez is taking this whole Method Acting thing a bit too far.
The 23-year-old actress--who showed off her puglistic prowess in the star-making indie boxing saga Girlfight and currently kicks a$s onscreen in Resident Evil--was arrested on Saturday night for allegedly getting into some real-life fisticuffs with another woman in Rodriguez's Jersey City home.
According to the police report, the 22-year-old woman--who refused to be identified but apparently lived with the actress--accused Rodriguez of coming into one of the apartment's bedrooms and interrupting the other woman while she was lying in bed talking on the phone.
For some reason left unexplained in the police report, Rodriguez forcibly disconnected the phone, landed a blow across the other woman's right eye and started pulling her hair. When the woman tried to leave, Rodriguez blocked the door, and the woman apparently pulled a Mike Tyson on her and bit her on the arm.
The tussle spilled onto the street, where the thespian, with fists clenched, again allegedly pummeled the victim in the face and pulled her hair. The report stated that when police arrived on the scene, they witnessed Rodriguez threatening to get Resident Evil on the other woman, saying, "I'm going to beat you up if you don't leave."
Rodriguez was charged with simple assault and one count of making a terrorist threat. She eventually entered a plea of not guilty and released on $2,500 bail. The actress was also taken to Jersey City Medical Center for treatment for the bite on her arm.
No word on how the fight affected the living situation, however. A spokesperson for the Jersey City Police Department said the victim refused a temporary restraining order against Rodriguez.
"They both lived at the same address. We assume it's her roommate," the officer said, adding that Rodriquez "does have the option of filing assault charges against the woman for the bite."
A onetime E! Online Sizzlin' 16er, Rodriguez shot to fame playing a tough female boxer in director Karyn Kusama's Girlfight, which won the Grand Jury Prize at 2000's Sundance Film Festival and earned the actress roles in several high-profile projects.
Rodriguez cemented her tough-chick status in last summer's high-octane action hit The Fast and the Furious and can currently be seen battling mutant zombies with Milla Jovovich in a big-screen version of the popular video game Resident Evil. (Which makes us ponder the question: Would Rodriguez be in this mess if she made movies with less violent-sounding titles, say Happy Puppies?)
A trial date is set for April 3.'
This seriously sucks, and I hope that it doesn't affect her acting scheduled much, because she's a brilliant actor, if Girlfight and Resident Evil (the looks of it) are anything to go by.
Thoughts?

Nobody has unlimited potential my friend. There is always a limit.
Although my form teacher did once tell me that everyone should be exceeding their potential, to which I replied "that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life!" It goes on, but that's the jist of it. :-D

Well, all I can say is this: it works for her 'tough chick' image. I don't know whether she wants to be recognized that way, but as far as I'm concerned, it's something to be proud of. If she became so good at boxing during Girlfight, then good for her, but I think using it for the reasons reported below are just totally wrong and immoral, but then I post this out of ignorance, as I don't know the circumstances of the incident. Anyway, she's still a great actor in my eyes and has unlimited potential if she stays out of trouble.
Apparently she got so good at boxing while filming girlfight, the female Boxing association, or whatever it's called, offered her a place in one of their tournaments without going through qualifying...
...she refused and boxing's loss was cinema's gain.
