Woman accused of biting beauty blogger’s lip
A woman has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly biting a beauty blogger and forcing her to bite her lip.
The woman, who is currently being held on $10,000 bail, allegedly attempted to bite blogger Nicole Smith in the face, a Los Angeles police report says.
Smith was able to get away from the woman and call 911, but police were able to track down the suspect and arrest her at her home.
Police say they were able and to identify the woman who allegedly attacked the blogger, whom she accused of being a fraud.
According to the police report, the woman said, “I can’t believe you would do this to me,” and allegedly bit Smith’s lip.
The woman then allegedly told police that she had tried to stop the alleged victim from biting her and that she was afraid for her life.
Police said the woman allegedly told them that she believed the blogger had a fake tattoo of the word “porn,” because she had not had sex with the blogger.
Her attorney, Daniel Fiske, said that the woman was in an abusive relationship with the man she allegedly attacked, and that her client had no other options.
“She was under tremendous emotional distress, and her life was in jeopardy,” Fiskes told the Los Angeles Times.
“She didn’t have the resources or the means to take care of herself.
This was a horrific, horrible act of violence against a woman, and she is innocent.”
Fiske also said the alleged attack was likely a hate crime because the woman had been targeted for being transgender and the blogger was transgender.
Fiskes also said that he had no knowledge of the victim’s gender identity and that the attack was not motivated by religion.
The incident was reported to police after Smith, an outspoken trans advocate, wrote on Facebook about the incident.
She wrote that she felt like she had to fight back.
She posted pictures of herself and her family and called for support and help for trans people.
Smith wrote that the alleged attacker had threatened her life and she feared for her safety.
I know that it was a very scary moment for me and for my family, and it was especially difficult for my trans sisters and brothers,” she wrote.
