Bravo Alum Arrested After Violent Assault At Walmart

Bravo has its share of people who landed up behind bars, and Jen Shah comes to mind. While she didn’t physically attack anyone, the latest arrests included some allegedly violent behavior that was caught on camera in Walmart, Tennessee.

What Happened?

On Monday, WMBF News reported that another person in the store was attacked by a woman wielding “a sock filled with rocks.” Injuries happened, because, well, rocks are hard. Apparently, the reality TV alum also pulled her hair and made off with a “$1,500 iPhone 14 and her $900 Louis Vuitton handbag.”

At this time it seems that the victim did nothing to aggravate the assailant, as she was simply standing at the “self-checkout counter.” It all went down in Nashville at the Walmart on “Church Hamilton Road” ahead of the weekend. An arrest was made.

Who Was Arrested?

It seems like a cut and dried case, as a bleeding injury was obvious and the store’s cameras caught all of it. The arrested individual was Diamond Tankard. Now 21 years old, you might recall her from the Bravo show, Thicker Than Water. At the time, Diamond was still a child.

The Bravo show debuted on November 10, 2013. It followed the lives of former professional basketball player and gospel-jazz musician Ben Tankard, his wife Jewel, who believed that God wanted them to be rich, and their kids. The series showcased the family’s strong “Christian faith” and their blended household, which included “five children” and one grandchild. The show ran for three seasons, with the final season airing on March 27, 2016.

The Charges

After being arrested, Diamond Tankard, who seems to have forgotten her religious upbringing, was charged with “theft of property and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.” She was granted bail of $25,000.

Previous run-ins with the law happened when the Bravo alum was wearing an “ankle monitor” stemming from an alleged “domestic assault.” At the time, she allegedly deliberately struck a woman “with her vehicle” in late November.

Fans React

There wasn’t a huge outcry when the news arrived on social media. Perhaps it was because it’s been nearly a decade since the show aired. And, it’s possible many people don’t recall the child who isn’t listed as a major player on TV. However, there were some rather lighthearted reactions on Reddit.

One commenter asked, “Why is this always at a Walmart?” Meanwhile another reader seemed a bit facetious, replying, “They provide the sock full of rocks when you walk in.”

One person joked, “The new Fortnite map is just going to be a Walmart.” Still, it makes some folks wonder why bail was allowed because clearly, if all these offenses really happened, it’s not safe to be around Diamond in public places. Do you agree?
