McVey pleaded not guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to assaulting Ms Gibson to her injury and permanent disfigurement.
The charge stated McVey, of the city's Barmulloch, struck Ms Gibson on the head and body with a screwdriver.
McVey had lodged a special defence of self-defence.
She faced a further charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at the same time and place.
However, the jury came back with a verdict of not guilty to the two charges and McVey was acquitted by Sheriff Lindsay Wood.
