"Guys, literally five minutes before my audition, she said, I was walking around the corner at Oxford Circus and this guy just looks at me, and targets me, and f*cking hits me. Chenneour said she was left shaken by the encounter. I'm like, against the wall I had to come in, and I'm trying to gather myself, but I'm so shaken."
"In a separate Instagram story, the actress described the man as about 50 years old, 6ft 3in, Black, wearing a dark-colored hat and black clothes. It is the second violent incident Chenneour has faced in London this year after she was targeted in a violent mugging back in February. The actress confronted an 18-year-old phone thief inside a Kensington cafe, triggering what she later called a full-on fight between four people for about five minutes."
"She lost consciousness briefly after being struck, and CCTV of the incident later circulated online without her consent. The robber was sentenced to 22 months behind bars in July. The aftermath, she said, left her struggling with severe agoraphobia, forcing her to move out of London to live with her mother and rely on hotels during work trips. I'd just got my confidence up and was looking at moving back,"
