Kristy Swanson was arrested late Saturday night for allegedly assaulting the ex-wife of her companion and former skating partner, Lloyd Eisler, Swanson tells People magazine.

"I had to go the police station where I had an appointment at 9 p.m. to begin the process of being arrested," she tells People.

Eisler, 44, a former world champion pairs' skater is in a mess. His ex wife, Marcia O'Brien, filed a complaint against Swanson in Kingston, Ontario.

Swanson, 37, now claims that she was the one attacked by O'Brien in front of Eisler and O'Brien's children. The actress's rep, Michael Sands, told People Swanson "plans to press charges against O'Brien, saying that police took photographs of her back and other parts of her upper extremities to document the injuries."

O'Brien's only comment to People was:  "Why have I not been charged?"

Canadian police declined to comment to People.

Eisler's romance with Swanson created a scandal in the skating community when Eisler left his pregnant wife (O'Brien) for her during the television show's taping. O'Brien had a baby boy in February.
