Tinsley Mortimer Was in Denial About Allegedly Abusive Ex Nico Fanjul: Source

Less than three months have passed since Tinsley Mortimer was arrested for allegedly trespassing on her ex Nico Fanjul’s property – and a source tells PEOPLE the socialite is “seeking counseling with other abused women.”

“Tinsley became so isolated during her relationship with Nico,” says the source. “They would have these explosive fights and then he would apologize and it was an endless cycle.”

“She was in denial,” adds the source. “I think she believed he would change.”

According to the source, “counseling has been really helpful for Tinsley. She just wants to move on with her life.”

When reached by PEOPLE, Fanjul declined to comment, and Mortimer’s attorney Matt Morgan told PEOPLE Mortimer had no comment at this time.

Meanwhile, further details about their volatile relationship continue to emerge.

A police report obtained by PEOPLE details an alleged incident of domestic violence between Mortimer and the sugar heir, which occurred on Mortimer’s birthday in 2014.

Police were called to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, at around 5 a.m. in reference to what the officer described in the police report as “an altercation between a man and a woman.”

When the officer arrived at the scene, hotel security had already separated Mortimer, now 40, and Fanjul, now 30, in separate rooms.

The officer reported to Mortimer’s room and described the star has having “swelling on her lip, an abrasion on her cheek and a scratch on her right hand.”

According to the report, Mortimer claimed Fanjul had caused her injuries and had “attacked her” after they started arguing in their room again. (Earlier in the day, the couple was kicked out of the W Hotel in the city for “causing a disturbance at the hotel bar,” the police report outlined.)

Officers made contact with Fanjul in his room. According to the report, he was “highly intoxicated and had some scratches on his face and back.”

Fanjul reportedly refused to answer questions about what happened and asked for a lawyer, according to the police report. The report stated Fanjul was ultimately arrested after one of the officers reportedly discovered cannabis in his bag.

Mortimer was “adamant about not pressing charges” and signed an affidavit with her refusal. Due to this, the officer “did not develop probable cause to make an arrest in regards to the battery,” reads the report.

The report stated that Mortimer and Fanjul were then escorted out of the hotel and left in separate taxis.

The Ft. Lauderdale police report follows previous incidents of alleged domestic violence between the two: In 2013, Mortimer was hospitalized for a head injury and two police reports from June 2014 revealed further altercations between the couple in which Fanjul allegedly smothered Mortimer with a pillow and pushed her head to the pavement, according to the police report.

Most recently, Mortimer called authorities to Fanjul’s home in April and asked for a civil standby because she said she wanted to retrieve belongings from his home.

Authorities informed Mortimer that she was trespassing on the property in regards to a previous trespass warning issued in October, and the star was placed under arrest.

At the time, Mortimer’s attorney Morgan told PEOPLE in a statement: “She attempted to enlist the support of law enforcement to help retrieve her personal items. It was never her intent to cause any problem.”

“This matter is highly personal and emotional for her,” Morgan continued. “Ms. Mortimer hopes to resolve this misunderstanding. She will not be making any other statements at this at this time.”

Mortimer was previously married to oil legacy Topper Mortimer and starred in her own CW reality show High Society in 2010.
