Nikki Blonsky: My Family is Closer than Ever

Hairspray starlet Nikki Blonsky insists that her family is now closer than ever after her airport squabble with America’s Next Top Model former contestant Bianca Golden.

The 20-year-old actress tells People, “We are a very strong family, we love each other and nothing will ever tear us down. I don’t even need to defend myself. It’s pretty obvious that it was just a big scam.”

Nikki also praised her father, Carl, who was also involved in the incident. She says, “He’s a strong man. He is my hero because he showed me that no matter what happens in life you can make it through. I never expected that somebody would try to use my fame to get themselves fame.”
