Sadly, none of this is surprising to me.” Her comments underscore a commitment to safeguarding her child amidst the unfolding drama.

‘Now that everything is out in the open, my focus hasn’t changed,’ she wrote in a statement on Instagram ‘I have always been concerned for his safety and for what he is exposed to. Sadly, none of this is surprising to me.

‘My thoughts and empathy are with the victim and everyone affected by this devastating event. It has created a wide ripple effect, touching many lives.

‘I understand that we live in a very public world, but my hope is that as my son grows, he can be seen and understood apart from this story.

‘At the end of the day, I’m simply a mama to a very sweet young boy doing my best to protect his peace. Thank you for the compassion so many have shown toward Daniel and me.’

Bobby has modelled since she was 15 and is currently signed to agencies Ford Models, LA Models, and New York Models.

Last year, she was linked to actor Will Poulter, who is 14 years her junior. However, they went their separate ways earlier this year after it was reported he had moved on with Top Boy actress Saffron Hocking.

While it is unclear when Bobby and Sanchez split, he has since gone on to marry Shameless actress Perry Mattfeld. The couple have two children together after she gave birth to twins in March, and have been frequently pictured in public together with Sanchez’s son Daniel. 

The former signal caller was booked on four charges, including battery resulting is serious bodily injury, a Level 5 felony, at Marion County Jail on Sunday after he was released from hospital where he had been treated for critical stab wounds. 

As he left the jail, Sanchez spoke to reporters for the first time since the incident, thanking the emergency services.

‘I’m just focused on my recovery,’ he told Fox 59. ‘I want to thank the first responders Eskenazi hospital. I just want to thank Dr. Mossler, the surgeon, she saved my life. I’m grateful for that. 

‘I’m recovering slowly. It’s a long process,’ Sanchez, who had his right arm in a sling, added when asked if he was feeling better. 

Sanchez was booked for battery resulting in bodily injury, a Class A misdemeanor, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, a Class B misdemeanor, public intoxication that endangers the life of another, a Class B misdemeanor, and battery resulting is serious bodily injury, a Level 5 Felony. 

Sanchez was fingerprinted and had his mugshot taken at the jail, which a judge had ruled he must do before being able to leave Indiana. 

He stayed mum as he slowly made his way into the jail earlier on Sunday morning. Dressed in tracksuit pants and a hoodie draped across his shoulders to accommodate the sling, he gingerly walked through the security checkpoint. 

The unsavory incident occurred in the early hours of October 4, after Sanchez was observed acting ‘erratically’ and running ‘wind sprints’ during a night out ahead of covering the Colts’ NFL game.

It is alleged that Sanchez took issue with Tole parking his truck in a loading dock while he collected cooking oil on his night shift, as it was disrupting his impromptu workout.

Sanchez, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound former quarterback, is said to have then pummeled Tole and slammed him to the ground, before the latter used mace and then stabbed his assailant two to three times in the chest.

The ex-NFL player was then seen stumbling back toward the Loughmiller’s Pub and Eatery, where he was given medical attention and rushed to hospital.

He is also reportedly facing a lawsuit from Tole, who is suing him for assault/battery and also Fox for negligent hiring, retention and supervision. 

In the suit, he reportedly states that Sanchez appeared intoxicated and instigated the fight, which caused him permanent disfigurement, loss of function, other physical injuries, emotional distress and other damages. Tole claims he has significant injuries to his head, jaw and neck.

He has also targeted Fox after claiming the network should have known him as a bad fit due to his ‘propensity for drinking and/or harmful conduct.’

Tole suffered brutal lacerations in the violent altercation with Sanchez and as he recovered at home he spoke out earlier this week, telling a friend: ‘Faith guided my hands to protect myself.’

In an interview with Fox 59 , Tole’s longtime friend Greg Keesling claimed that the grease truck driver in a ‘mild-mannered man who shies away from trouble’.

‘Perry doesn’t fight,’ he revealed. ‘In fact, I think this is probably the first fight that Perry’s ever been in in his entire life. As a matter of fact, he told me that last night. He said, “I’m gonna go on record. I don’t fight.”‘
