Fox News Reporter Changes Story On Montana Assault, Now Says No 'Neck Grab' Took Place

Acuna's report quickly went viral online, but she admitted Thursday during an interview on "The Laura Ingraham Show" that she misstated the neck grab.

"One of you guys said last night that he put his hands around his neck," Ingraham said. "Which, as somebody who's done a lot of taekwondo and self-defense, to me that seemed, that might not be exactly right."

"You know, and I'm the one who said that," Acuna replied, "I saw both his hands go up, not around his neck in a strangling type of way, but more just on each side of his neck, just grabbed him and I guess it could've been on his clothes, I don't know."

Listen to the Laura Ingraham interview.

Ingraham asked Acuna if that meant she was changing her story.

"Again, just to clarify, he didn't grab him by the neck with both hands in the way that was initially described, that's not quite accurate," Ingraham asked at the end of the interview.

"No, so it wasn't like he grabbed him around the neck, he had one hand on each side of his neck," Acuna confirmed.
