“I wasn’t punched or touched in any way. What you are seeing is just my security doing their job to keep things under control.
“I was in the UK for a quick 48-hour stop to do some shopping, and unfortunately, people let jealousy and negativity fuel false stories.
“I’m perfectly fine, and there is really nothing more to it.”
