Kristy Swanson Declares Herself "Not a Homewrecker"

Kristy Swanson has been a little busy for the last year and a half. First she signed up for the reality series Skating with Celebrities then she started a relationship with her skating partner Lloyd Eisler who left his then-wife, Marcia O'Brien, for the actress when O'Brien was eight months pregnant.

Shortly thereafter the new couple announced they were expecting a baby and son, Magnus, was born earlier this year. Finally, Swanson Swanson was arrested earlier this month for allegedly assaulting O'Brien during a visit with Eisler to his sons Ethan, 3, and Seth, 18 months. Swanson has since filed a counter-assault claim against O'Brien.

In this week's People, Swanson tells her side of the story and talks about her new role as weight loss spokesperson for Medifast.

Here are some of the highlights:

On her relationship with Eisler:
"I'm not a homewrecker," Swanson says. "Lloyd and Marcia were separated before I ever met him; I did not break up the marriage." Eisler adds: "After the show was over it hit me, 'Wow, that person had a drastic effect on me!' Changes had to be made – and I chose to make them."

On her altercation with O'Brien: "She attacked me, and I am confident that after the investigation is complete, the truth will come out," says Swanson.

On gaining weight:
At the start of her relationship with Eisler, "I stopped skating and we were eating all of these wonderful antipasti with cheese and crackers," says Swanson. She recently signed a six-month, six-figure ad-campaign deal with Medifast to help her lose 30 lbs. "I know the longer I wait," she says, "the harder it will be."
