Fife baby shower ends in violence as families feud
A baby shower attended by feuding families in Fife ended in violence. There was hostility between the relatives of the couple having the baby as light-hearted games such as 'Baby Bingo' were ruined by offensive comments fired back and forward across the hall, Dunfermline Sheriff Court heard. The bad feeling between the families escalated to violence outside the hall in Lochore. The mum and sister of the mother-to-be landed ended up in the dock on assault charges. Sarah Wilson, 45, of Kirkcaldy, admitted punching the other mum after grabbing her hair. Chardonnay Wilson, 20, also from Kirkcaldy, was found guilty of assaulting another woman. Chardonnay Wilson told the court the baby shower for her sister Chantelle, had started at 1pm. She said the two families were sitting at different tables and 'at first it was fine'. However, bad feeling began to escalate during a game called 'Would Mummy Rather'. She explained there was a question, 'would mummy rather put a bottle on for the baby or open a bottle of wine'. She said someone from the father-to-be's family shouted out the new mum would open a bottle of wine. 'Chantelle got upset and everything started to escalate from there,' she said. She described how her mum Sarah and the other mother were 'arguing back and forward'. 'My mum told her they could speak any other day but not to spoil the occasion,' she said. The court was told there was more arguing during a game of 'Baby Bingo' and allegations about sexual comments being heard. There were then claims about an abusive comment, 'F***ing fools', aimed at the Wilsons, being written on a paper plate. Wilson said she had also written a good wishes message in the baby book and someone had ripped it out. Gino Gambale, solicitor for Chardonnay Wilson, asked for his client to be given an absolute discharge, as a conviction would end her three-year career as a carer. Sheriff Susan Duff said it would 'not be proportionate' to impose a sentence which would end a young person's career and agreed to the defence request, meaning the offence will not go on Wilson's record. Sarah Wilson will be sentenced on June 4 after the sheriff called for reports.

Chantelle's sister Chardonnay Wilson, 20, lashed out at Ben's grandmother, who later claimed her feeding tube was removed. Sarah Wilson and daughter Chardonnay are the niece and great-niece of late World Professional Darts Championship winner Jocky Wilson. The pair have both been convicted of assault at Dunfermline Sheriff Court. The court heard the two families had gathered at Lochore Miners' Welfare Social Club in Fife on May 18 last year. At first, everyone seemed to be getting on "fine" but the mood turned sour following a game of "Would Mummy Rather". One question was asked about whether Chantelle would rather "put a bottle on for the baby or open a bottle of wine'. The court heard someone from dad-to-be Ben's family then yelled out she would open the wine, which caused Chantelle to become "upset". Chardonnay Wilson said her mum Sarah and Ben's mum Pamela were 'arguing back and forward'. She added: 'My mum told her they could speak any other day but not to spoil the occasion." But the court heard more rowing broke out during a game of "Baby Bingo" after apparent sexual comments were heard. A punch up then unfolded outside the venue after an alleged abusive remark was aimed at the Wilsons. Sarah Wilson pleaded guilty to assault, while Chardonnay was convicted following a trial. She still denies removing Yvonne Ritchie's feeding tube and punching and kicking the gran-to-be. Her solicitor Gino Gambale begged for Chardonnay to be given an absolute discharge as a conviction would end her career as a carer. He added: "This was the baby shower for her sister and as we've heard tensions heightened throughout the day. "The families were not getting on and this has spilled outside. This was a serious assault but something that happened very quickly." Sheriff Susan Duff said it would "not be proportionate" to impose a sentence which would end a young person's career in this case. She agreed to the absolute discharge, which in Scottish law means the offence will not go on her record despite a conviction. Sarah Wilson is due to be sentenced next month. 5 Chantelle had got upset over a game called Would Mummy Rather Credit: Facebook

Baby shower descends into punch up between family of darts star and their in-laws after heated game of 'Would Mummy Rather'
A baby shower descended into a punch up involving relatives of a famous darts star and in-laws after a series of lighthearted games turned sour. The party, at Lochore Miners' Welfare Social Club in Fife, ended in violence with an expectant husband's mother being punched and his grandmother saying she had her essential feeding tube dislodged, a court heard. Sarah Wilson, 45, of Kirkcaldy, admitted during a trial at Dunfermline Sheriff Court that on May 18 last year she assaulted Pamela Ritchie by seizing her by the hair and repeatedly punching her on the body. Meanwhile her daughter Chardonnay Wilson, also of Kirkcaldy, was found guilty of assaulting Yvonne Ritchie, the grandmother of the father-to-be. The two defendants have now spoken out following the trial as Sarah Wilson awaits sentencing - as it was revealed they are related to the late Scottish darts player Jocky Wilson. Sarah is the niece and Chardonnay the great-niece of Jocky Wilson, who won the World Professional Darts Championship in 1982 and 1989. He died aged 62 in 2012. The baby shower was for Chardonnay's sister Chantelle, who was celebrating the imminent arrival of her baby daughter, and started at 1pm. The two families were sitting at different tables and 'at first it was fine', the court heard. But ill feeling began to build during a game called 'Would Mummy Rather' when someone asked the question: 'Would mummy rather put a bottle on for the baby or open a bottle of wine?' Someone from the father-to-be's family then shouted out the new mother would opt for a bottle of wine. Chardonnay Wilson told the court: 'Chantelle got upset and everything started to escalate from there.' Her mother Sarah and the other mother Ms Ritchie were 'arguing back and forward', the court heard. Chardonnay Wilson said: 'My mum told her they could speak any other day but not to spoil the occasion.' But arguing continued during a game of 'Baby Bingo' and there were allegations of sexual comments being made. And there were then claims about an abusive comment, aimed at the Wilsons, being written on a paper plate. Chardonnay Wilson said she had also written a message in the baby book, but someone had ripped it out. Rows continued over what are usually light-hearted games and the bad feeling carried on outside the venue, where the assaults occurred. Gino Gambale, Chardonnay Wilson's solicitor, asked for his client to be given an absolute discharge as a conviction would end her career as a carer. He said she had worked as a carer for the elderly and vulnerable for the past three years, starting at the age of 18. He said: 'This was the baby shower for her sister and as we've heard tensions heightened throughout the day. 'The families were not getting on and this has spilled outside. This was a serious assault but something that happened very quickly.' Sheriff Susan Duff said it would 'not be proportionate' to impose a sentence which would end a young person's career in this case. She therefore agreed to the defence request for an absolute discharge, which means under Scottish law the offence will not go on Wilson's record despite being found guilty. Speaking after the case, Sarah Wilson has told the Daily Record: 'I'm Jocky Wilson's niece and Chardonnay is his great niece but that has nothing to do with any of this.' Chardonnay continues to deny claims she was behind an attack on Yvonne Ritchie by punching or kicking her and trying to pull out the breathing tube. Chardonnay told the newspaper: 'I didn't touch her feeding tube and I didn't pull her feeding tube out. I didn't do anything. It took three of them to try and attack me.' 'I was accused of battering Yvonne and I was accused of attempting to pull her feeding tube out. This has gone on for two years.' Chantelle herself has posted on Facebook in support of her sister and her mother following the trial, sharing a photo of them. Sarah Wilson is due to be sentenced next month after the sheriff called for reports.

Baby shower descended into punch up after guessing game joke angered mum-to-be
A baby shower ended in violence with one mother being punched and a grandmother having an essential feeding tube dislodged, a court heard. There was hostility between the relatives of the couple having the baby throughout what should have been a fun family get-together. Tensions started to escalate after a game called 'Would Mummy Rather' had one person shout the then expectant mother would open wine rather than put a bottle on for the baby, Dunfermline Sheriff Court heard. Rowing continued over what are usually light-hearted games, and the bad feeling between the families escalated to violence outside the hall in Lochore, Fife. Mum Sarah Wilson punched the other mother after grabbing her hair and 20-year-old Chardonnay Wilson assaulted the grandmother of the father-to-be, dislodging her nasogastric feeding tube. During the trial, Sarah Wilson, 45, of Kirkcaldy, Fife, admitted that on May 18 last year at Lochore Miners' Welfare Institute she assaulted Pamela Ritchie by seizing her by the hair and repeatedly punching her on the body. Chardonnay Wilson, also of Kirkcaldy, was found guilty of a charge that she assaulted Yvonne Ritchie by attempting to seize her essential feeding tube. The court was told the baby shower for her sister Chantelle, ahead of the birth of her daughter, started at 1pm. She said the two families were sitting at different tables and 'at first it was fine'. But bad feeling began to escalate after a game named 'Would Mummy Rather'. She told the court there was a question: 'Would mummy rather put a bottle on for the baby or open a bottle of wine?' Someone from the father-to-be's family then shouted out the new mother would open a bottle of wine, and Chardonnay Wilson told the court: 'Chantelle got upset and everything started to escalate from there.'
