The lawyers of actress Brooke Shields released a statement to "The Insider" after reports surfaced of the actress witnessing the alleged argument between Kiefer Sutherland and fashion designer Jack McCollough.

"A number of statements have been attributed to Ms. Shields in the media that are neither true nor authorized. These statements were obviously made by those who were not in attendance at the party and constitute their version of events," her lawyers told "The Insider."

The statement continues, "While at the party she [Shields] was bumped into by Jack McCollough and Kiefer Sutherland became concerned. Kiefer has always been a gentleman in her company. Both Jack and Kiefer are friends of Ms. Shields and she regrets this unfortunate situation."

Sutherland allegedly headbutted McCollough, a Proenza Schouler designer, at a nightclub last week. Officials say the actor has a summons for June 22 in Manhattan Criminal Court, after being charged with assault in the third degree.
