Miranda Lambert's alleged incident happened in 2013

Miranda Lambert, who is making headlines for shaming a group of women for taking selfies at her concert, was once accused of 'trying to punch' a store owner.

The singer's 'crazy' stunt from 2013 has come to light amid news that the country musician spotted a group of women at her show who weren't paying attention to her song, halted her performance and shamed those concertgoers over the weekend.

As it happens, the 39-year-old has had her fair share of controversies.

In 2013, she was accused of trying to steal the spot of Melanie Peden's shop, a few steps away from the Longview native's Pink Pistol boutique in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.

"She had a complete meltdown and threatened to 'punch me in the mouth' if I kept talking," Peden told the National Enquirer at the time, adding that the Drunk crooner had set eyes on her property when it popped up for sale four years ago.

Later when the shop owner invited the musician to visit the store before its grand opening, she started to allegedly hurl abuses at her.

"I was stunned and a little bit scared too, because she was growling and yelling at me like a crazy lady. She's got a real anger problem and needs help. But I stood my ground and asked her to leave my store," she added.

Following the incident, Peden filed a police report against the singer, but authorities later cleared her, saying no evidence was found that Lambert threatened to attack the woman.
