Vanessa Marcil and Family Assaulted!

Former General Hospital star Vanessa Marcil had quite the frightening and disturbing experience yesterday when driving through the streets of Los Angeles.

Marcil claims she was driving her mother from a doctor’s appointment when a man in another vehicle started screaming obscenities at herself and her son.

She posted pictures of the man to her Instagram account, as well as a photo of his license plate after she says he called her 16-year-old son a “midget faggot” and “f*&^ing faggot” while claiming it’s his first amendment rights.

(It’s not, as the first amendment pertains to speaking out against the government without governmental retribution.)

Marcil also says the man physically and verbally assaulted her, but does not get into what started the altercation.

The actress and her family appear to be ok as evidenced by a happier photo she posted several hours later. However, we can imagine what a scary and harrowing experience that could be, especially to a teenage boy.

Below are Marcil’s Instagram posts illustrating the altercation as it happened.
