She said she confronted both Kimberly and Gianna, asking them to stop, but then, they both allegedly punched her.
"At that point, I felt my hair being pulled and felt my wig come off, which was held on by three clips and Velcro," the victim said in her complaint, via Newsday. "I allowed my head to go back because I felt as if my scalp was going to be ripped off, and I observed the lady in the gray jacket pulling my hair."
The victim suffered from "substantial pain to her scalp and bruises to both sides of her face."
John Gotti Jr. said the woman "assaulted my wife first," and the Gottis' attorney, Gerard Michael Mattone, claimed the woman had made fun of Kimberly's son.
