Catfish host PUNCHED a woman
Quote:
The MTV star has now found himself at the center of his own headline-making scandal following the release of his new book, In Real Life: Love, Lies & Identity in the Digital Age.
In his tome, he details an incident which took place back in 2006 while he was attending college at Sarah Lawrence. During his junior year, Schulman describes how he accidentally "punched" a person in self-defense while serving as a photographer at the school's annual Sleaze Ball, a coming-out dance celebrating LGBTQ students, only to later realize that the "crew-cut-styled individual" was a woman.
Ultimately, the charges were dismissed, however, the passage in his book began to raise eyebrows after Schulman took to Twitter on Monday to share his thoughts on the violent Ray Rice elevator video, which shows the former football hero punching his wife and led to the NFL star being dropped by the Ravens.
Shulman's tweet, has since been removed from his Twitter page following a string of backlash from former Sarah Lawrence students who claim that the incident went down quite differently than the MTV star detailed.
"In college, I was in a situation where I was forced to defend myself, after being suddenly attacked," he said. My post was meant to raise awareness and support for everyone affected by the awful abuses of domestic violence."
However, Vulture has spoken to a former student, who claims to be the woman Nev attacked, and she claims that the TV star did not act in self-defense. "I confronted him, and asked him to stop taking pictures. "I tapped his shoulder and he turned and hit me out of nowhere, I went down and he held me in a head lock and repeatedly punched me while I tried to get free.
When I woke up the next day, my face was bruised, I was hurt, and a friend urged me to go to the hospital, which I did... I was advised not to press charges because it would be a difficult case to win, as I didn't have any broken bones and it would be his word against mine. I also felt intimidated because his lawyer had been waiting for me in the parking lot after my legal meeting...As an LBGT financial aid student I didn't think the chance of getting justice looked good."
