The woman seen in the viral dash cam footage involving a man identified as Joel has spoken publicly for the first time, identifying herself as Leslie Ann and assuring the public that she is alive and well. The video, which has been widely circulated across Trinidad and Tobago social media, appears to show an altercation inside a vehicle. Leslie Ann said the incident happened approximately one year and two months ago. “I’ve seen the pictures. I’ve seen the videos. I’ve seen the comments. I’ve seen everything that’s going on at this time,” she said. Leslie Ann confirmed that she was the woman involved in the altercation and said there is significantly more behind the situation than what the public has seen online. “There’s so much behind all that is happening,” she said, adding that there is “much more to everything.” She also drew attention to her lip, saying it has still not completely healed following the incident. Despite what happened, Leslie Ann said she was grateful to be alive and in good health. “Give thanks for life, health and strength,” she said. Without going into further detail about the circumstances surrounding the incident, Leslie Ann urged people to show some understanding towards individuals who may need help. “We need extend a little understanding for people that I think are not well, but they don’t know they’re not well. People that need help, need help,” she said. Her comments were presented as her personal view, and she did not elaborate further on what she meant. Leslie Ann also revealed that she never wanted the footage to become public and said she does not know who obtained or circulated it. “I wish that video never came out. I don’t know who got it and who shared it, but it is what it is,” she said. She ended her message by again reassuring those concerned about her wellbeing. “I am alive and well. Give thanks.” The footage has generated widespread discussion online, but Leslie Ann indicated that she is not yet ready to publicly explain everything that happened behind the scenes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
