Entertainment reporter Terri Seymour was almost strangled by a woman asking if she was Simon Cowell‘s girlfriend after the Idol taping at the Nokia Theater in LA last night. According to TMZ, Seymour, who broke up with long-time boyfriend Cowell in 2008—but continues to attend events with the Idol judge—refused medical treatment after the attack. The suspect, Janice Thibodeaux, was charged with felony battery and released on bail.
