Farrah Abraham Claims Self-Defense in Assault Lawsuit With Security Guard

Besides medical expenses, Armstrong claimed she suffered loss of wages and trauma over the incident. The Teen Mom star was taken into custody over the alleged assault after being placed under a citizen’s arrest. She later spoke about the incident, claiming she was “set up.”

“I don’t understand why there’s cuffs being put on me. I did not hit anyone. On camera, I did not — I would never hit anyone,” Abraham said at the time.

Abraham also filed a lawsuit against a separate security guard over the night in question. She claimed George Velazquez “flung her down to the ground like a ragdoll” and pinned her to the ground while repeatedly telling her, “You are going to jail.” It’s unclear if Velazquez was the individual who placed her under citizen’s arrest.
