CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Holly, who has allegedly been in hiding since the brawl in downtown Cincinnati last weekend, as reported by @bennyjohnson<\/a> on X, has shared her first message on camera, expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support she has received.<\/p>\n

“I want to say thank you to everyone for all of the love and support. It’s definitely what’s keeping me going. And you have just brought back faith in humanity,” said Holly. “God bless you all. Thank you.”<\/p>\n

Holly also discussed her recovery and injuries in the video.<\/p>\n

“It’s been very, very hard and I’m still recovering. I still have a very bad brain trauma,” she said.<\/p>\n

More than $300,000 has already been raised on GiveSendGo<\/a> to assist Holly with her “medical, legal, security and loss of work expenses due to the attack.”<\/p>\n

Holly was knocked to the ground while attempting to break up the fight. She suffered a concussion and had been out celebrating a friend’s birthday when the incident occurred, said Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Holly, who has allegedly been in hiding since the brawl in downtown Cincinnati last weekend,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57688,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,43444,37708,15056,3115,43445,20174,3,683,7461,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-57687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-brain-trauma","tag-brawl","tag-cincinnati","tag-fundraising","tag-holly","tag-injuries","tag-news","tag-recovery","tag-support","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
