She and Smith argued about his children, but when she ran into his home to tell his kids he was mad, she “blacked out,” according to a written statement to police obtained by .
“When I woke up my head was throbbing and there was a lump,” the statement reads.
“I felt about a 6 out of 10 pain,” she said, before she frantically called a colleague for help.
The woman never filed charges against Smith, and a police investigation was opened immediately after by the Kauai Police Department, Business Insider reported.
Smith, who worked for the KPD between 1998 and 2003, vehemently denied her claims and said he “never did put a hand on her,” according to the police statement.
Legal demand letters drafted by the attorneys of two former staffers and sent to lawyers for the companies in charge of the Zuckerberg family's security services detailed homophobic and transphobic comments allegedly made by Liam Booth, Weststreet’s head of security, in 2018.

At a July 2018 event, Booth allegedly grabbed his own crotch and told one of the employees, a gay man, “I’ll feed you something raw,” according to one letter.
Another document alleged that the former Secret Service agent said Chan had poor driving skills because “Asians can’t drive” while pulling his eyes into a racist gesture.
The letters also accused Booth of referring to a transgender staffer in the family office as “it” rather than by the employee’s preferred pronouns.
Booth stepped down as Weststreet’s security chief in July 2019 shortly after the sordid allegations surfaced.
Neither Booth nor Smith responded to a request for comment from The Sun.
In a written statement to The Sun, Weststreet Spokesman Ben LaBolt said the law firm of Munger, Tolles & Olson investigated the litany of allegations against Booth and Smith.
Regarding the December 2017 incident involving Smith, the law firm found “there was no basis to conclude that the injury was caused by a co-worker - neither Shawn Smith nor anyone else,” LaBolt said.
Chan and Zuckerberg’s legal team also concluded that the allegations made against Booth “could not be substantiated.”

“We are proud of our team of professionals who work in the family office. “Sadly, these anonymous allegations are a collection of unfounded rumors, exaggerations, and half-truths which unfairly malign several of our valued employees.”
“We believe that these allegations have been advanced by a small group of disgruntled former employees who are attempting to defame the family office after the family office refused their demands for multi-million dollar payments following their separation of employment.”
