Taylor’s attorney, Sanford Rubenstein told TMZ that this is not “reality TV” and his client is a “victim.”

Not too long after the incident occurred, Taylor posted a video on Instagram to show her eye saying,
““So, here am I on my way to a very important meeting and it’s hard to even focus because of what occurred last night,” she wrote, Billboard states. “I didn’t wanna bring it to social media because Its pretty embarrassing and not a good look tbh. I tried my best to cover it up with make up and move on but that still didn’t work. My Question is @remyma why did you really do this?”
The video has since been removed.
This is sad news since Remy is still on parole until August, following her release from prison in May 2014. She served six years in prison. She has since revitalized her career and has embarked on several business ventures.
Ma just posted about her fashion line, the “Remy Ma” collection on Instagram earlier today.
The story is still developing.
