Share this @internewscast.com

One individual involved in a viral altercation that took place in Cincinnati on July 26 has been forced to go into hiding after being seriously hurt in the fracas.

The person, who goes by the name “Holly,” made an appearance on “The Benny Show” this Wednesday, revealing that she had to engage security services and temporarily move after her beating.

“So I’ve had to have security crew and go into a super-secret spot, which we allowed the security guys to come into today,” Holly said. “Wild, wild.”

While talking about her condition, Holly mentioned that she remains unaware of the full extent of her injuries until she recovers from a concussion, as doctors express concerns about potential neurological damage, some of which might not be reversible.

A fundraiser set up for Holly has raised over $500,000. Actor Charlie Sheen is among those who donated.

“My Ohio connections run deep, and what happened to you will NOT be tolerated by the “true” Ohioans (like yourself), as justice will reign supreme. heal well, young lady, and know that we are all rooting for you!” Sheen wrote when making the donation, according to a post on X from Benny Johnson.
