The 58-year-old prevented the flight to Germany from taking off and spent an evening in a police cell after the incident, in December last year.
Julianna Belinfante, prosecuting, said flight staff were made aware that Fox was “having an argument and being rude towards the gate staff” at 7pm and was seen “walking and behaving strangely and was slurring her words, and staff could smell alcohol on her”.
Fox began “behaving in a confrontational manner” towards her wife, Linda Olsen, and when the former model began “rocking back and forth in her chair, headbutting the seat in front of her” the decision was made to return the plane to the gate, the court heard.
The police were called to remove the pop singer from the plane and one officer said it was “clear to him that she was drunk”. Ms Belinfante said Fox was described by officers as “rude and argumentative” and became “verbally abusive” towards them as she was escorted out of the airport.
The Eighties icon had been due to stand trial at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court after reportedly assaulting her wife Linda Olsen on the flight, a charge which she had denied. It is understood the case has been discontinued after changes to the evidence meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.
