Mallory Owens was brutally beaten by her girlfriend's teenage brother on Thanksgiving and while she initially defended him saying it wasn't a hate crime, Breaking Celebrity News has now obtained a statement from her in which she reveals that he has "threatened to finish me off."
Mallory and her family are determined to raise Travis Hawkins Jr.'s charge from second-degree assault to attempted murder — especially since this wasn't the first time he beat her so bad she was hospitalized. Earlier this year Travis hit Mallory over the head with a metal pipe but she didn't pursue charges.
"I was unconscious when the beating ended. I do not know what stopped him. I do know he has threatened to kill me before, he has attacked me with a metal pipe before, and on Thanksgiving Day he launched an unprovoked attack on me that left me unconscious, hospitalized, suffering horrific head trauma, severe injuries and in need of surgery and additional treatment," Mallory said in her statement.
"Since the attack, Travis Hawkins Jr. has been seen following my family and appearing at locations where they have gathered. He has threatened to finish me off. I believe as long as he is free on bond that my life continues to be in danger. Even beyond the physical harm, I am quite traumatized. I am afraid and I feel that I have been victimized repeatedly by the Hawkins family."
