Over the weekend Nick Gordon was arrested for brutally assaulting his girlfriend Laura Leal [click here if you missed that].
Laura speaks out about her ordeal...
From The Daily Mail
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Leal, 26, has revealed how Gordon pinned her to the bed during the hours-long attack and punched her head so hard she wondered if she was dead.
Leal says she fought back, however, when her 'survival instinct' kicked in, smashing Gordon's nose with a heavy candle before bursting into his sleeping mother's bedroom to beg for protection.
'I've been reading the reports about Bobbi Kristina and I'm physically shaking,' she told DailyMail.com.
'I read about her being isolated, her family not knowing where she was, the manipulation, the bullying - it's the exact same thing.
'That could have been me. Only the Grace of God saved me.'
Leal told DailyMail.com she dismissed those same reports as 'negative nonsense' when she met charismatic Gordon, 28, in a bar three months ago and the pair began dating.
She says their relationship became 'toxic' with Gordon drinking heavily every day, smoking marijuana and falsely accusing her of trying to sleep with male friends.
The pair started to physically fight, with 6ft 1in Gordon subjecting his 5ft 2in lover to pushing, punching and, on one occasion, choking her to the point that she threw up.
In another violent episode she says he slammed her face into the passenger window of his BMW before attending a friend's party as if nothing had happened.Read the full interview here
