The Oklahoma woman had been leaving the nightclub with her friends in Deep Ellum when she was hit with a punch in the face, knocking her unconscious and causing her to fall face-first onto the pavement.
Dash cam footage acquired by a passing Uber saw one of her bridesmaids, Kelly Peralta, try to save her friend before also getting punched by Woodards, resulting in a black eye.
The attacker managed to flee the scene before authorities arrived.

What should’ve been one of the happiest nights of Rinaldi’s lift ended with her having a broken nose, three broken teeth, and eight stitches to her face.
“I just didn’t deserve it,” she said tearfully to WFAA. “Nobody does, but I didn’t either.”
She recalled the exact moment it happened, saying she was walking to her Uber when she was struck.
“I remember walking toward the back of the car, and then I remember waking up in an ambulance. That’s all I remember,” she said.

“It’s just shocking. It’s just hard to believe. It just feels like a lot of my experiences were taken away from me. I feel like I’m not excited to plan my wedding anymore.”
Rinaldi’s younger sister, Brienna, who had been trailing behind the group, gave her own version of what happened.
“I saw this man walk up behind Canada, and he reached his arm out like he was going to take her hat. Then he suddenly pulled back and punched her,” she recounted. “I just started screaming her name.”

Rinaldi has since told Bored Panda that she is in the process of healing and has returned back to Oklahoma, where she is back at work.
She said, “My fiancé has been very supportive. He is shook up over the whole incident. And I know he wishes he was there.”
Despite the love she’s receiving, she now faces more than $10,000 in medical expenses, as stated by the GoFundMe created to help ease her financial burden.

The page read, “On the night of Saturday, March 22, our beautiful friend was celebrating her bachelorette party — what should have been one of the happiest nights of her life. Instead it turned into a nightmare.
“Just 24 hours earlier, she had told us she was having ‘the best trip of her life.’ That happiness was ripped away from her in an instant, turning it into the most terrifying and traumatizing night she’s ever experienced.”
Addressing the massive bill, it continued, “She is now trying to heal — not only physically, but emotionally and financially — when she should be counting down the days to her wedding.”
Sympathies flooded in as the news broke.

“Things like this happen and can happen anywhere. It’s sad how humanity can be so pathetic and cruel,” one person said.
“Omg! That poor girl. Aside from the physical pain, that trauma affects you mentally and emotionally. I can speak from experience,” another wrote.
A third stated, “Nobody deserves this. I don’t care how drunk you are or anything. A real man would walk away.
“I don’t really even know what happened that caused it, but you don’t beat the hell out of a woman like that or anybody else for that matter, the person that did this was definitely violent in nature.”
Anger for Woodard poured in from social media

How the H3LL was this wild animal granted parole with those priors???

The most shocking part of all of this to me is the commenter who said “It’s sad that this is accepted as normal.” WTAF? Does anyone know the context around her comment? Who the hell is accepting this as “normal”? I like to think that we ALL (aside from that demented commenter) most certainly do NOT think this event is “normal,” but my guess is BP grabbed the most incendiary comments, and maybe people tore this dope a new one? Or is something really pertinent left out? This article strikes me as goofy, as I’ve never ONCE heard anyone call a bachelorette party one of the “most important nights in one’s life.” It’s a PARTY, and when I think of the best parties I’ve attended, my bachelorette party doesn’t enter into it. (At the best party I ever attended, the table full of Maine lobster, steamers, and INCREDIBLE smoked salmon was sooon good, I pulled a chair up to the table and gorged myself. Herbie Hancock saw it, thought I was brilliant…

… and got himself a chair, too, and we talked, drank, and snarfed for the rest of the evening, and met everyone who came to help themselves to food. He told me stories all night that were fun, funny, and some curled my hair, but it was the best party EVER. The rest of the top five best parties took place on sailboats with equally astounding food as we sailed around Boston Harbor past midnight.) (One of the funniest events of my life was my first such party: Entered the sailboat at midnight, and we sailed, drank, and ate for three hours until we pulled into a slip and the captain held out his hand for me to disembark and I started to cry because I didn’t know we’d sail so far and hadn’t brought my passport! Everyone began to laugh as he pointed to my hotel. I’d thought we’d GONE SOMEWHERE, like Puerto Rico or some other island. I hadn’t understood we’d sailed in a big circle! 🤪)
