Has anyone seen pics of her. She’s a model and absolutely gorgeous. I don’t care how crazy she is you don’t break up with a girl like that!

Looks like he got the “Irish” up in her from her mug shot. It was a rough night for the Mahoney clan, but I think a rougher night for the unnamed ex-boyfriend.

Apparently she is a smoke show model with 100,000+ instagram followers. He is also on the Fairfield swim team. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5483287/College-student-left-bloodied-girlfriend-punched-face.html

I don’t understand why when a man does this, everyone goes crazy, and then when a woman does this, there’s a lot of jokes involved.

I would say that he was probably making a good decision. ๐Ÿ™‚

The best thing this girl can do right now is chill out, pay for this poor decision, and not say anything inflammatory. The last thing we want is another Brock Turner situation. It reflects poorly on the sport.

Hushing reflects far worse. Not to mention it adds to situations where either a person assaulted or a person who may need to seek mental health support of various kinds would be less likely to seek help.
