"The Biggest Loser" contestant Shanon Thomas has been charged with domestic violence after an incident in suburban Detroit last month.
Thomas, 29, who is competing on the NBC weight loss show with her 47-year-old mother Helen Phillips, is accused of throwing flour in the face of one of her tenants after the man allegedly played his television loud, the Associated Press reports.
Court records show that Thomas, a massage therapist, also allegedly yelled at the tenant and broke some Christmas tree lights during the incident on Dec. 16.
Eleven teams are competing in the new season of "The Biggest Loser," with a combined weight of more than 3.5 tons.
