The attack left Allie with injuries to her arms, neck and abdomen. "I found her and I had to go into the bedroom where it happened. That wasn't a pretty sight," Christine continued.

KTLA reported that she had recently filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend. The Los Angeles Times reported that she has been a victim of domestic violence.
