Former Love and Hip Hop: NY star Tahiry Jose is finally speaking out on Instagram about her getting attacked by a male production managers this past Monday at a fashion show. In the message she says she was attacked because she is 'a woman with a voice and refused to be disrespected'
"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 possesed. Again, thank you! You are ALL heroes of mine! Love, Tahiry"

The suit charges Tahiry, her partner John Iacono, and the security company hired, 5 Points Security, of endangering customers by failing to stop a patron from bringing in a weapon and poorly controlling the crowd during the aftermath of the shooting.The NYPD says that no one has been apprehended in regards to the shooting."
