Bikini-clad Brit tourist filmed being assaulted at Magaluf hotel speaks out
Robbie Hofmann and her boyfriend took a beating from pool-side bouncers
A BRIT couple who were beaten up by Magaluf party hotel bouncers said they were “attacked for walking too slowly”.
Model Robbie Hofmann, DJ boyfriend Alex Henderson, known by stage name Alex Prospect, and another pal were roughed up at a pool-side resort in Spain in Friday.
A video of the attack, taken by other holidaymakers, went viral online.
Robbie took to Facebook to defend herself against accusations they started the brawl.
She wrote: “They've done a great job of painting us in a bad light saying we were refusing to leave and throwing cups.
“Neglecting to mention that we were pushed and assaulted while walking to the exit by a man bigger than the three of us combined…BEFORE we had resisted the attack or I threw my cup in the bush next to him (not at him) which was done out of my pure shock.
“It's funny how they refuse to provide the CCTV of where we refused to leave or throw cups *out of the blue*.
“Really?
“We were only there to DJ and watch our friends headline a UKhardcore event.
“We at no point behaved like disrespectful yobs which was how we were treated when apparently walking too slowly towards the exit.
“You guys are our friends and know us all so please remember how we are.
“This is a terrible and ill deserved reflection of all three of us.
“None of this was deserved at all.”
Shocking footage shows Robbie, wearing a black bikini, being pummelled by security staff at the four-star BH Mallorca Hotel.
She can be seen being pinned to the floor by a bouncer after she was allegedly slapped in the face, while two security guards appear to punch and kick her boyfriend.
Eyewitnesses has previously claimed one of the bouncers slapped Miss Hofmann after she threw a plastic cup at one of them, prompting Mr Henderson to jump in.
At one point the video shows three bouncers punching, hitting and kicking the man while he is on the floor.
