"Love and Hip Hop" reality star, Tahiry Jose finally addressed her beating incident on Instagram and thanked her fans for their support before explaining that her attacker couldn't handled her "voice."

"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!"

According to Bossip.com, the PR firm's rep gave exclusive details regarding the fight explaining that the production manager, Carlos Gonzales was attacked with profanity and was patronized before the fight escaladed.

"Tahiry arrived to the Helen Mills venue around 4pm, as she was going to model for Toure's show, requesting not to enter where "the normal people" go. Her assistant was instructed that the normal people entrance is the only one available." The rep stated, " Once Tahiry arrived, she requested for all the models to be removed from the hair and makeup area so that her personal team could begin makeup for the show. The show manager's assistant obliged her request and cleared out a few rows where the models where sitting to allow her private time. Tahiry continued to patronize the assistant using profanity. Her assistant and glam squad joined in on the berating."

Although, Tahiry's camp told the site she was cordial, one time, and very pleasant towards the production manager, the PR's rep said they didn't know the two were involved in a physical altercation until they heard the scuffle, "The group moved their argument back upstairs and outside of the venue. A minor scuffle was heard but ignored because no yelling accompanied. Then someone yelled, "why are you fighting a woman?" I ran outside to find Tahiry on the ground, a watery substance everywhere, and the show producer's assistant being jumped by Tahiry's assistants."

Despite, the model's team report of the her being badly beaten and hospitalized was decided by the rep, "I picked Tahiry up off the ground and her makeup artist attended to her. Her hair stylist was still fighting the assistant while myself and two male models broke up the fight. A witness outside said that once the argument moved outside, Tahiry continued using profanity, sexual orientation slurs and threw her drink in the show assistant's face." The rep continued, "I moved Tahiry downstairs to a safe place and asked her what happened. Her response: "nothing." I asked her if she was okay and she said yes. She had no scratches and denied the help of the paramedics, assuming she would go to jail for fighting. She and her staff left the premises and a report was given by our staff to the police."

'Love And Hip Hop NYC' Tahiry Jose NYFW Attack By Production Manager Carlos Gonzales: Tahiry Released From Hospital And Recovering 

"To my knowledge, she was NOT hospitalized and denied the help or paramedics to me. My issue is that we continue to allow bad behavior to be warranted. Tahiry cussed this young man out and threw a drink in his face and now is playing the victim.  Bad behavior evokes bad behavior if people aren't using rational thought." The rep added, "She initiated a fight, and a fight is what she got."
