Bri alleges that she continued to struggle before nearly losing consciousness and passing out, TMZ added - citing sources with direct knowledge of the incident.

Hours after the allegations were made public, Tate posted a cryptic message on X - saying "I miss you too baby" followed by a heart emoji.
Bri said she only filed a report after knowing Andrew had left the US.
Andrew’s lawyer Joseph McBride has strenuously denied the claims and promised to sue for defamation.
McBride told The Sun: “It’s fake news, an unequivocally false story.
“This is an attention grab by one of many people trying to hurt Andrew for one reason or another.
“It’s sad and disappointing but it’s unequivocally untrue and defamatory and we look forward to clearing Andrew’s name in court.
“Without doubt we will sue for defamation.
“Who in their right mind after clearing himself of human trafficking claims in Romania would come to the other side of the world and commit a crime like that? It makes no sense whatsoever.
“There’s not a scintilla of truth to it and we will do what we have to do to protect Andrew’s interests in court.”
Andrew already faces a string of serious allegations in both Romania and the UK along with his brother.
The British-American siblings were held last year in Bucharest over allegations of rape, human trafficking and forming a group to sexually exploit women.
The Tates face separate charges in the UK of rape and trafficking.
They deny all of the allegations.
Addressing the looming legal case by Romanian prosecutors, the brothers held an impromptu press conference with reporters late on Saturday night.
Andrew led the conversation as he again pleaded his innocence despite the slew of allegations still hanging over his head.
He said: "We are in Romania like I said I'd be because innocent men don't run from anything and we are here to clear our names.
"After all we've been through, we truly deserve a day in court."
The brothers have faced legal challenges for months on end as back in August armed cops were seen storming their Bucharest home through the roof after being blocked by "bulletproof doors".

- Physical abuse - This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten.
- Sexual abuse - Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent.
