‘Amish Mafia’ Esther Schmucker Update: First Public Outing Since Brutal Attack, Fans Shower Twitter With Support [VIDEO]
Amish Mafia star Esther Schmucker made her first public appearance following news earlier in the month that her boyfriend brutally beat her.
The reality star went shopping on Nov. 12, nearly two weeks after Imir R. Williams, a rapper also known as Mirkat, assaulted her in the early morning hours on Halloween leaving her with a broken nose, cheekbone and teeth.
Sporting a grey peacoat with grey and pink striped pajama bottoms, Schmucker, 27, bared her bruised face to the public that included a black eye.

Williams was charged with felony aggravated assault after Schmucker filed charges three days after the incident. She reportedly could not do so earlier because Williams was standing guard over her to make sure she didn't turn him in, Enstars previously reported. Williams was arrested for the attack on Nov. 6.
After news of the attack surfaced, Schmucker's fans took her Twitter page to show their support and wish her well.
One Twitter user wrote "@amishqueen04 my dear stay strong you don't ever need a man like that we are all thinking of you," while fan Jillian Bowe referenced the show, saying, "I wonder if Lebanon Levi will have a chat with Esther's ex...#AmishMafia @amishqueen04."
Though Schmucker reportedy told TMZ photographers that she "didn't feel like talking to anybody," her Twitter page shows a response to the swells of support she received.
"Thank you all for the words of encouragement. I'm recovering more as each day passes," she tweeted. "My blessings still outweigh my trials #blessed."
This is not the first time Schmucker has reportedly filed charges against Williams for abusing her. She reported three protection-from-abuse orders against the rapper, but the filings were all dismissed when Schmucker failed to appear at court hearings for the orders.
Amish Mafia returns to Discovery with a special Christmas episode later this year. Season 3 will air in 2014.
