Appearing in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court via video link, the former real estate agent admitted to one count of recklessly causing injury.
The fight occurred in March when Maguire threw the glass she was holding, at the woman next to her booth, the Herald Sun reported.
Magistrate Olivia Trumble suggested the reality star to pen a letter of apology adding it was an “opportunity” for her to avoid a criminal record.
She granted a six-month diversion which means Maguire was not required to formally plead to the charges.
The influencer’s lawyer Zarah Garde-Wilson said the argument happened during a “very heated moment” and noted that the night of the assault Maguire had been subjected to “antagonising” comments.
She said: “She’s extremely embarrassed. It’s entirely out of character for her.”
Speaking outside the court, Maguire denied scratching the victim with the glass.
She told the Daily Mail: “It’s totally false to suggest I glassed anyone …
“My fingernail happened to come into contact and that’s how the scratch happened.”
Maguire, who was a contestant on the Australian TV show The Bachelor, previously opened up about being born in a polyamorous cult.
She revealed her cult leader dad Alistah Laishkochav had set up the cult in Byron Bay with nine wives and 64 children.
