Dominick Diorio has been arrested for beating up Stiviano outside of a NYC hotel. He is being charged with a hate crime and a second suspect is still at large.
Stiviano explains how it all went down.
Stiviano told police she was with her sister and a friend at Revel restaurant when a group at another table called her a prostitute and shouted slurs at her, the NYPD official said. Stiviano and her sister exchanged words with the group.
When Diorio now in custody allegedly put his cell phone near Stiviano’s face to snap a photo, she knocked the phone out of his hands and walked out of the restaurant, the police official said.
Stiviano told investigators that she and her sister were followed by the group as they walked to the Gansvoort hotel to hail a cab, the official said. Video obtained by police showed the women were followed by two men and a women from outside the restaurant to the hotel.
Outside the hotel, the official said, Diorio allegedly directed more slurs at Stiviano, who got into a cab with her sister. One man held the cab door open, while the other yelled at her and punched her in the face. The man who held the door then spit at her, the official said.
