Kendrick spoke about alleged abuse after an Instagram user sent a DM reply when she shared a selfie. “I’m seeing what Rick is seeing,” the user wrote in response to the selfie, calling the model “so gorgeous.”
In response to the user’s comment, the model said of Ross: “He saw a punching bag.”

Kendrick then shared an image of her face, in which her lip appeared swollen, with the caption, “The day Rick busted my lip and the day I left.”
She also shared a photo of herself lifting her upper lip to reveal a visible injury. “I don’t know a lot of things, but I do know that a man that puts his hands on me, is a man that never loved me and never will,” Kendrick wrote over the image.
In her final post addressing allegations, the influencer shared a statement. “It’s always good until it isn’t. If a man hits you one time, he will do it again. Don’t give him the opportunity. Value your life and leave,” Kendrick wrote, adding a heart and prayer-hands emoji.
She did not specify in the posts exactly when the alleged abuse took place.

The pair cozied up to each other and shared a kiss in photos captured at the event.
