"How does it feel to be a w---?, I'm going to f--- you up, you will pay for this."
Beef between Paulina Ben-Cohen and GG Gharachedaghi, explored
According to documents obtained by People, Paulina Ben-Cohen claims that as she approached the exit, she and Gharachedaghi encountered a security guard who
"saw the way she was threatening me."
Ben-Cohen then reportedly asked the security guard to walk her to her vehicle, but he just stared stared blankly at her and spoke onto his walkie-talkie.
The documents claim that Gharachedaghi said the guard was just a "toy cop" and wouldn't be able to protect her. In Ben-Cohen's words, she felt "scared" for her life and rang up her fiancé. According to People, her fiancé heard her shouting when he took the call.
Paulina Ben-Cohen claimed in the filing:
"I told her just please walk away. Please leave me alone. She said, 'No, I have been waiting for this day.' She purposely kept the phone right in my face as she is screaming, 'I'm a w---, you f---ing bitch, I'm going to destroy you.'"
Ben-Cohen has alleged that she asked GG to back off "nicely," but the latter kept shoving her phone in her face until the security guard interjected. She then accused Gharachedaghi of hitting her in the face before grabbing her phone and throwing it.
Furthermore, Ben-Cohen claims that Gharachedaghi began hitting her with her phone, adding that the latter a
"grabbed a chunk of my hair and yanked it, as she grabbed my arm with her other hand."
Ben-Cohen further alleged:
"Then [she] tried slapping my face but I moved and it hit my arm," adding: "The security guard told her she needed to stop before the cops come and she claimed she did nothing wrong."
The security guard was then forced to physically restrain Gharachedaghi so Paulina Ben-Cohen could leave the scene. However, the filing claims that harachedaghi allegedly told Ben-Cohen:
“I’m not done with you.”
Paulina Ben-Cohen's restraining order seeks to have Gharachedaghi maintain a 100 yards distance from her and her two children, and Page Six has reported that she also filed a police report.
At the time of writing, neither Ben-Cohen nor Gharachedaghi have publicly commented on the situation.
