Webbe issued the following statement:
“Thank you all so much for all your concern and well wishes, makes all the difference and means the world to us, as you can imagine This is been quite an ordeal!
Julie fortunately was not physically hurt but the whole thing has taken a toll on us both for me to be slashed across the face and the throat.
For Julie to be dragged around and spat at by a group of women who glassed me, Just know that we will rise above this and remain positive and in love. Newport is my home town and I still love it and the community we have. Big up!”
