“She’s going to be alright, she will make it, I mean she has nerve damage but with time maybe that will heal up,” the victim’s mother Roxanne Dodson told WRCB.
The “Used to Love You Sober” singer first announced the news on social media after hearing about it while on tour.
“Prayers for my sister please,” the post read. “I’m all the way out in Nebraska and get a text that she was stabbed 4 times! You better hope I don’t find out who you are. I’m so sick to my stomach right now.”
Thank y’all so much for the prayers and concern 💯
