The former socialite explained the situation on Twitter, writing: “This news is inaccurate, I was not refused entrance2the first class lounge. It was not the reason nor was It ever addressed.” [sic]
“I was on my own reading a magazine. I felt people behind me taking pictures,” she continued. “I could hear them all talking about me and laughing about me and I got upset. It’s nothing to do with the lounge, I swear on the Bible.”
Accoring to reports, Tara swore at police officers during a rant on Saturday, before pulling her hair extensions out.
She was arrested and taken to a West London police station before later being released without charge.
TPT later returned to the airport and boarded a flight to Switzerland, where she is celebrating her 43rd birthday.
While Tara was once a firm fixture on London’s social scene, in recent years she has become reclusive following her treatment for drug addiction.
Speaking on a Jeremy Kyle Celebrity Special earlier this year, Tara admitted: “I get terribly anxious going out, I’ve only been out three times this year. I don’t go out to public events. For the last two years I haven’t worked.
"I've seen a therapist every single week for the last nine, ten years of my life."
