In a statement obtained by E! News, Sanford Rubenstein, Taylor's attorney, condemned the alleged assault claiming: "This arrest demonstrates how serious this matter is, it is real life and not reality TV entertainment.  The victim Brittney Taylor has confidence in our system of justice and will continue to fully cooperate with the authorities."

Reportedly, the 38-year-old rapper will soon be arraigned for the case, as the Manhattan District Attorney's office told the outlet, "She is awaiting arraignment for this case. We can't provide guidance on her prior case or parole until she is arraigned. She will likely be arraigned this afternoon."
