Claimed the arresting officers were ‘homophobic’ but only Amber was arrested. That doesn’t make sense.

When asked whether she saw any injuries, Leonard stated the other woman had an abrasion on the side of her neck where the necklace had been removed, "like a rope burn."

However, when Tasya accused her of being "homophobic" and "misogynistic" in 2016, the former cop defended herself.

In June 2016, the 45-year-old painter and photographer went out about the event. She said, "In 2009, Amber was wrongly charged for an incident that was misconstrued and over-sensationalized by two persons in a position of authority."

"I recall traces of misogynistic attitudes toward us that subsequently looked to be homophobic when they discovered we were domestic partners and not just 'friends," she continued.

"It's upsetting that Amber's credibility and narrative are being called into doubt once again," she continued. Amber is a clever, honest, and gorgeous woman, and I admire her greatly. We spent five lovely years together and are still in touch."
