Kristy Swanson: "I'm Not a Homewrecker"  6/30/07

Actress Kristy Swanson has hit back at claims she is a "homewrecker", insisting she did not break up her partner Lloyd Eisler's marriage to ex-wife Marcia O'Brien.

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer star and her love rival O'Brien were both arrested and questioned by police following a fracas in Ontario, Canada earlier this month (16Jun07).

Swanson has since filed assault charges against O'Brien claiming she was attacked by her love rival and was the only victim in the fight.

She tells People.com, "She attacked me, and I am confident that after the investigation is complete, the truth will come out.

"Her allegations that I attacked her are completely false."

Professional ice skater Eisler and Swanson caused a scandal when they started dating while co-starring in TV talent show Skating With Celebrities in late 2005 - while Eisler was still married to O'Brien, who was then pregnant with the couple's second child Seth Keenan.

But Swanson, 37, insists she is not a homewrecker.

She adds, "Lloyd and Marcia were separated before I ever met him; I did not break up the marriage.

"After the show was over it hit me, 'Wow, that person had a drastic effect on me!' Changes had to be made - and I chose to make them."

Eisler divorced O'Brien in January (07) - a month before Swanson gave birth to their son Magnus Hart.
