Reports say that Lambert, 29, and boyfriend, Finnish "Big Brother" winner Sauli Koskinen, 26, got into a fight at DTM bar that became physical. The fight reportedly continued outside the bar after the pair were kicked out.

Lambert was suspected of hitting two people who tried to break up the fight, Detective Superintendent Petri Juvonen told the Associated Press. The Hollywood Reporter, citing local media outlets, reports that Finnish beauty queen Sofia Ruusila claimed she was accidentally struck by Lambert while trying to get between the couple.

Lambert and Koskinen were arrested and held for questioning as local police investigated four possible assault offenses, according to reports. Police said the two men were released after a few hours and that no further action would be taken.
