But the 28-year-old star posted about her ordeal on Twitter, writing: ‘I’ve felt better.’
Her fans were quick to come to her defence, telling her they hoped recovered soon and slamming those responsible for her attack.
Former Celebrity Big Brother star Nicola McLean also wished her friend well, writing: ‘Big kisses and love to Maria Fowler.
Anything I can do please let me know. There are [some] horrible people in this world.’
Maria has also thanked her loved ones and followers for their support, posting: ‘Thank you for all the messages. I have the best people around me’.
She also shared an inspirational quote from the Dalai Lama which read: ‘Don’t let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.’
A Derby police spokesperson told the Daily Star: ‘We are investigating an assault on a 28-year-old woman.
‘The incident occured at 2.30am on Sunday in Becketwell Lane, Derby.’
This isn’t the first time poor Maria, who left TOWIE in January 2012, has been the victim of an attack since she was reportedly glassed in the face last February.
The incident left her shaken and resulted in her deciding to give up alcohol for good.
She wrote on Twitter at the time: ‘It seems the perfect time to hang up my Louboutins and quit alcohol.
‘In the past two weeks I have been glassed by a man and also verbally abused when out and never received hostility like that before.’
