Unfortunately, when a witness called the police, authorities arrived just as she was starting to fight back, which made her “look like the aggressor.”
When she was asked by police if her boyfriend hit her, she denied that he did to prevent him from going to jail. He wasn’t as concerned about her.
“The laws asked that n—a if I hit him and he said, ‘Yeah! She hit me in the eye.’ Bitch, you got to know they sent me straight to jail! Them hoes cuffed me, I ain’t never been cuffed in my life,” she said.
