Yes, something happened, but Stevie didn't know what exactly it was in 1997 (although in the last 5 years she has added a guitar throwing incident to her recollection). Based on what Christine said of it in Rolling Stone, I got the impression that it was more like putting his jacket over his head and mocking Rhiannon, more than anything else, since she focused on the mockery and unprofessional part and not any sort of violence.

Her comment was: "I think he's the only person I ever, ever slapped. I actually might have chucked a glass of wine, too. I just didn't think it was the way to treat a paying audience. I mean, aside from making a mockery of Stevie like that. Really unprofessional, over the top. Yes, she (Stevie) cried. She cried a lot."
