However, several outlets reported that an unnamed woman told police that Davis struck her on the right side of her head with a “closed hand type slap.” The alleged victim reportedly does not cohabitate with Davis. ESPN stated she “suffered a small abrasion to the inside of her upper lip on the right side of her mouth.”
