One of the victims of a viral brawl that happened in Cincinnati July 26 says she’s been forced into hiding after the incident that left her severely injured.

The victim, who is identified only as “Holly,” appeared on “The Benny Show” Wednesday and revealed she’s had to hire security and temporarily relocate after she was beaten.

“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 discussing her injuries, Holly said she won’t know the extent of those injuries until after healing from a concussion, adding that doctors are concerned there might be some neurological damage. She added some of the damage might be permanent.
