Tankard, known for her appearance on “Thicker Than Water” as gospel producer Ben Tankard’s granddaughter, allegedly approached the victim from behind in the self-checkout lane and grabbed her hair.
The violent attack, caught on security footage and by onlookers recording, shows the 21-year-old dressed in a pink shirt and camo pants yanking the victim by the hair and laying down a flurry of punches.
Tankard, known for her appearance on “Thicker Than Water” as gospel producer Ben Tankard’s granddaughter, takes the victim to the ground — as her friends tell her to “beat her Diamond” and bystanders attempt to break up the melee.
Tankard then is seen whipping out a white and red striped tube sock and striking the other woman in the face.
The video also appears to show the music heiress wearing an ankle monitor during the assault.
Following the assault, Tankard was seen picking up items off the ground.
The victim later told police that the former Bravo reality star stole her $1,500 iPhone 14 and her $900 Louis Vuitton handbag, the outlet reported.
The victim’s grandmother told police that Tankard used a rock-filled sock to hit her 21-year-old granddaughter and that the blows left her with a massive gash on her forehead above her left eye.
Nashville EMS was called to the scene and transported the woman to a local medical center for stitches.
Police said Walmart provided security footage of the attack, confirming the victim and her grandmother’s statement, USA Today reported.
Tankard was arrested and booked into the Davidson County jail. She has been charged with theft of property and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Tankard was released on a $25,000 bond Saturday and her next court appearance is set for Aug. 22, records obtained by the outlet show.
It remains unclear what provoked the assault.
The Post has reached out to Ben Tankard’s representatives for comment.
In December, Tankard was charged with attempted first-degree murder after she allegedly intentionally struck a woman with her vehicle, according to law enforcement.
Police said that Tankard approached the 30-year-old female victim and her sister as they entered their car after leaving a bar at around 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 29.
She then asked the victim’s sister, “If she knew a male,” to which she replied, “No,” leading to a “verbal argument which turned physical.”
“The victim got out of the car and attempted to break up the fight,” police said.
“Tankard then got into her Range Rover, drove to the end of the street, and turned around, accelerating at a high rate of speed before striking the victim.”
She then fled the scene, leaving the victim with “critical injuries.”
Tankard was also wearing an ankle monitor for a domestic assault-related arrest during the attempted murder. She was also charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving injury and failing to render aid during that incident.
The gospel music heiress was later released on a $1,002,000 bond.
Tankard appeared on all 27 episodes of Bravo’s “Thicker Than Water,” according to IMDb.
The reality show, which ran from 2013 to 2016, centered on the life of her grandfather, a former NBA player turned American gospel-jazz music producer, and his family in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
