When I realized from the big silver key chain that they were guards, I lightly brushed the chain,” she wrote, per People. “Later I was called in to be told never, ever touch a guard without expecting severe reprimand.”After issuing a groveling apology to the guards, Stewart put the incident behind her because it “was so minor when it occurred.”However, her punishment was anything but.“I was dragged into solitary for touching an officer,” Stewart said. “No food or water for a day.

This was Camp Cupcake, remember? That was the nickname. Camp Cupcake. It was not a cupcake.”Stewart was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction and two counts of lying to federal investigators.
