Police went to Tyga’s home to question him on Monday morning, but he refused to speak with them at the time. He opted to tell his side of the story on Tuesday.

Swanson shared photos of her apparent injuries via Instagram. The pictures displayed bruising around her eyes.

“I’ve been emotionally, mentally and physically abused and I’m not hiding it anymore,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.

Swanson also denied a portion of TMZ’s original story, which claimed she was screaming and showed up to Tyga’s house uninvited. She alleged he assaulted her when she tried to leave and kept her in the house for hours.

“I’m so embarrassed and ashamed it had to get to this but I have to stand up for myself,” she wrote in another post.

Tyga hasn’t publicly commented on his arrest as of Tuesday afternoon but he posted the $50,000 bail and has been released.
