Farrah Abraham is defending herself in a new statement to E! News, saying, "This was all blown out of proportion. I was a guest at the hotel and I did

not touch anyone. I was targeted and that's why these men sold stories."

Abraham was photographed leaving the Beverly Hills Police Department on Wednesday wearing a tropical bikini top and pants set.

She also took to Instagram Live in the hours after her arrest with a message for fans.

"Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you for all the well wishes and concern," she said to the camera. "It's sort of sad sometimes when you're out and you just can't have fun and people want to attack you and get you all in that trouble. I'm blessed by God and I don't ever want to be attacked again at a hotel."
