DETROIT - The wife of Democratic U.S. Rep. John Conyers has been accused of punching a woman in the eye during a bar fight. A spokesman for Monica Conyers, a city councilwoman-elect, confirmed Friday that she was involved in an altercation. But he said Conyers merely defended herself after being attacked by another woman.

The spokesman said Rebecca Mews became upset Tuesday during a birthday celebration for an attorney, who Mews says was her date. While Conyers was speaking with the man, Mews "came over and literally started spewing obscene names," and shoved Conyers, said Conyers' chief of staff, Sam Riddle.


"This woman was obviously drunk, and the councilwoman vigorously defended herself," he said.

Mews, who appeared on WDIV-TV on Thursday with a black eye, denied she was intoxicated. Mews said that when Conyers began speaking to her date with her back to her, she tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Pardon me."

3. *lol* ~ that's what I thought it was

Sounds like she defended herself beautifully!! Might be interesting to find out a little more about the other woman! What with all this domestic spying etc., one has to wonder now about everything!

4. 'pardon me...' - BAM

Yeah, probably happened that way. I think we should start calling her K.O. Conyers. I always thought John Conyers was so cool, that I figured his wife was too. Now I know!
