Sewell - who achieved a measure of fame after featuring in the first series of America's Next Top Model - posted a personal statement about the events of the evening. She alleges that "On the drive home from Albuquerque to Portland, my ex-boyfriend got shitfaced and roughed me up in a Sacramento hotel. I escaped from the room through a blitzkrieg of violence and talked to hotel security, who called the fuzz."
