A COUPLE were attacked after a group of women were asked to stop making vulgar comments during a Valentine’s Day screening of Fifty Shades of Grey.

The brawl broke out during a screening of the box office hit based on EL James’s novel about the raunchy relationship between student Anastasia Steele, played by Dakota Johnson, and businessman Christian Grey, Jamie Dornan.

Jacqueline Coia and her husband Martin were near a group of loud women including Isabel Munro, 52, Phyllis Ross, 52 and Carolanne Munro, 32, at the Grosvenor Cinema, in Ashton Lane in Glasgow’s west end, last year.

 Glasgow Sheriff Court heard the couple made “sexually explicit” remarks during the screening of the film based on EL James’s sexually explicit novel at the and Mrs Coia asked them to stop.

 When the credits rolled the couple tried to make their way past the group, but Isabel Munro threw her wine over Mrs Coia before hitting her when she was on the ground.

Ross and Munro assaulted Mr Coia, who was behind his wife, and had landed almost on top of her.

Munro then assaulted Nicola Doris, outside as she was being led away by police because the woman had apparently laughed at her. Munro, from Blairdardie, Glasgow, admitted in court assaulting Mr and Mrs Coia and Nicola Doris.

Phyllis Ross, from Partick, admitted assaulting Mr Coia to his injury.

Carolanne Munro, also from Blairdardie, admitted shouting, swearing and behaving in an aggressive manner in the back of a police car on the way to London Road police office. Her not guilty pleas to the assault charges relating to the Coias were accepted.

The court heard that the women were part of a group of six females who had been socialising in the afternoon before the film. 

Procurator fiscal depute Stephen Ferguson said: “During the film persons within the group of six appeared to be making certain remarks and making certain noises which were causing a distraction to the female who was sitting at the end of the row. Some of the remarks were sexually explicit and the female asked that the group refrain from their behaviour because it was spoiling the film.”

The court heard the request appeared to have been “taken on board” and they watched the film before the fight broke out. Sheriff Walter Mercer deferred sentence.
