On Oct. 18, NYPD responded to a 911 call of a man being assaulted inside an apartment, authorities confirmed to E! News in a statement.

Emergency responders also arrived on the scene and transported the man to a nearby hospital, where he is currently in stable condition. Following the incident, Exum was arrested and charged with assault. E! News has reached out to Exum's attorney for comment and has not heard back.
Following her arrest, the New York Post reported Exum was released without bail at her arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court, although prosecutors had asked her to be held on bail for the second-degree assault charge. According to the outlet, the social media model did not publicly address the incident after returning home on Oct. 19 but made a mention of her OnlyFans account when questioned by a reporter.
The influencer, who has amassed over 37,000 followers on social media, also shared an Instagram Story post on Tuesday, Oct. 19, from what appeared to be a local police station.
She captioned the quick clip of herself sitting beside an NYPD officer in a baseball cap, sweatshirt and green leggings, "They took my phone, I'm in the trap rn."
Exum's boyfriend is expected to make a full recovery.
