Tahiry Jose has a message for men who abuse women. As reported earlier this week, the Love & Hip Hop star was brutally attacked by Carlos Gonzalez, a production assistant at a New York Fashion Week event.
The attack was claimed to be ignited by Tahiry asking the assistant the reason for his attitude. He was vocal about his hate towards Tahiry and things got ugly. It took 7 to 8 men to pull him off her.
Jose checked herself into Lenox Hill hospital after being held in a room by the PR coordinators who claimed Tahiry started the incident. She took to Instagram to confirm the attack and extend a message for men who physically and emotionally abuse women.
The caption read:
“Thank you ALL for your well wishes. I am both appreciative and grateful to have you on my team and call you #teamtahiry! I am sincerely touched by your outpouring of love.
As you may or may not know, on Monday, Sept. 8, I was attacked, assaulted and violated, while in the workplace, by a man. I was beaten because I am woman with a voice and refuse to be disrespected. It is more proof that the violence against women is real and needs to be addressed publicly. The shaming and disrespecting of women/victims of violent abuses must stop. Violence against women must stop; a women’s voice and refusal to be disrespected is not grounds for physical abuse. #iamwoman #myvoicematters
More to the point, I am home, healing and surrounded by love.
Rest assured, I will continue all my efforts and endeavors with the same faith, determination, passion and spirit I have always possessed.
Again, thank you! You are ALL heroes of mine!
Love, Tahiry”
