Armina Mussa Speaks On Knife Attack Armina Mussa, Solange’s good friend and project director of her St. Heron brand, was brutally attacked last April , sustaining 10 stab wounds outside her New Orleans home. Armina is now speaking out about the attack, specifically rebutting the statements made by her attacker, Arronesia Christophe, who claims in official police reports that she stabbed Armina in self defense with a pocket knife she only grabbed as a last resort. Armina insists that she was brutally and unexpectedly assaulted with a kitchen knife, calling the attack “an act of evil.” “I watched my attacker circle my block before pulling into the shared parking lot of my home…It is evident that this was an act of premeditated violence.” More via NOLA Defender : On April 8, Armina Mussa was stabbed ten times. As the victim underwent surgeries in a battle for her life, the story exploded in the press on account of Mussa’s business partnership and friendship with Solange Knowles. Most reports at the time cited her alleged attacker’s version of the bloody incident. Mussa was in critical condition and providing a rebuttal was the least of her concerns. Last week, she sat down with NOLA Defender to set the record straight. The defendant told police that Mussa approached her car irate. According to her version of the story, despite pleas for Mussa to back off, the victim began screaming, then punching her, until Christophe used a small pocket knife stored in the center console of her car to protect herself. Mussa says this account is simply false, including the reported use of a pocket-knife. She explains, “I was faced with a kitchen knife that the aggressor and trespasser had in her hand while her vehicle was parked in front of my home. When I approached the aggressor and trespasser’s vehicle window to ask that she leave my property, she sat there with her head tilted towards me, while waving the kitchen knife in a malicious demeanor. I then said to her through the window, ‘You need to leave.’ The aggressor and trespasser then proceeded to exit her vehicle and wave the kitchen knife in my face while questioning me aggressively in regards to why she should leave.” The victim continues that she did tussle her alleged attacker, but stresses that she only did so after being threatened with a blade. She states emphatically that she did not hit Christophe, rather she tried to disarm her. Mussa recounted the incident for the Defender. “We began to argue for no more than a minute until I felt extremely threatened and struck. I was afraid to turn my back on an armed, angry, and seemingly violent person. So, I took the initiative to use a forceful handle on her by attempting to take her down and knock the knife free, which unfortunately did not work. The aggressor and trespasser began slashing me with the kitchen knife repeatedly until I was completely weakened and bloody. I backed up. Shocked, I said, ‘Why would you stab me?’ She appeared to have no remorse. I was stabbed from my abdomen up to my head. I then removed my own shirt to stop the bleeding from my head while I shouted my prayers to God so hard before losing consciousness.” “Amongst the extensive physical damage I have endured, coming to peace with myself mentally has unfortunately been a struggle. The accounts that have been circulating regarding what took place made it difficult to carry on.” This story is tragic and very STRANGE…from both angles. We’re glad to hear she’s recovering so well and able to give her own account of what happened that night. Hopefully she will continue to heal.
