A muscle-bound firefighter, who appeared as Mr. March in a 2011 New York Firefighter calendar will face off in court Thursday against his transsexual gal pal– a stunner who was famously booted from America’s Next Top Model, RumorFix has learned.

Taylor Murphy, 28, is charged with assault, criminal mischief and criminal obstruction for allegedly attacking Claudia Charriez in front of a Midtown strip club and again later at a nearby hotel in August.

“Right now this whole thing looks like it’s going to be dropped.  There’s no bruises.  There’s no physical photographic evidence,” Murphy, who was is on medical leave from the fire department, tells RumorFix exclusively.

But, Charriez, 30, who lives in Los Angeles, and made it to the semifinal round on America’s Next Top Model in 2006 before she was disqualified because she was born a male, tells RumorFix in a separate exclusive interview:

“He beat the sh*t out of me.  The last thing I need is for my family to see pictures with bite marks and bruises of me and all that.  The police have all the information and the pictures of me in that condition.  They have everything documented on file.”

Murphy, who says he signed his own modeling deal with Calvin Klein, says “I’m 6’5 and 265-pounds.  If I ever hit anybody they would not be doing well for a long time.”

The genger-bender model, tells RumorFix she just wants to put the entire episode behind her, “Right now, I’m all about getting over this.  I had to leave New York … He’s out of his f-ing mind.  It’s something I wanna put behind me.  I’ve done a lot more stuff that is a lot more notable than being beat up some crazy f-ing firefighter.”

Murphy, who says is undergoing counseling says “I wasn’t handling it well.”

“I suggested he get some court mandated anger management program so he has an outlet for this sort of stuff,” Charriez says.
UPDATE: A trial date has been set for January 18.
