Model Renata Begiashvili posted photos with evidence of the beating and writes that she has been physically abused for years.
“I thought a lot whether to talk about it or not… and I think I can do it! I don’t need pity. There are simply too many women being abused by non-human beings.
I have been abused for many years. The father of my child is Shalva Iashvili, he is a friend of many, he is the father of two children, and he also has a sister! How would he behave if he saw his closest beloved woman in such a state! What would he do?
I have been silent for many years. I don’t want to go to the police, I’m afraid to ruin the life of my son’s father, I’m not that kind of person. I believe in God. I believe that all cruel people will be punished.
Nothing can be an excuse when I look at myself in the mirror. He is a danger to his child and society! I have lost too many years and endured too much for the sake of my son, but this is the last straw, blood flows from my eyes instead of tears. My soul hurts, but I believe that everything will be fine with Sandro!” the model wrote on Facebook.
