Tim McGraw's Slap Victim Seeks Out Personal Injury Lawyer, Singer Says Slap Was 'Pure Instinctive Reaction'

Remember Tim McGraw's fan slapping incident earlier this month? Well, it looks like he just got slapped back...with a lawsuit.

According to TMZ, McGraw's slap victim, a woman named Jesslyn Taylor, has hired a lawyer who has already contacted the country singer's people.

Taylor's lawyer, Georgia personal injury attorney Eric Hertz, told TMZ McGraw's got it all wrong. Hertz says his client was not trying to grab McGraw's junk when he slapped her.

Instead, Hertz says Taylor was nothing more than an enthusiastic fan who was part of the show's "interactive environment," and merely wanted a touch.

Taylor is upset with McGraw's behavior since the incident and doesn't appreciate his claims that she was aggressive and trying to rip his jeans, according to Hertz. He also says she feels humiliated that she was thrown out of the concert, and wants an apology for starters.

In a recent interview with ET Canada, McGraw addressed the infamous Atlanta incident, but did not apologize. In fact, he said Taylor should just get over it.

"Sometimes things can lose context and perspective. I reacted in an instinctive, defensive way from my perspective of what was going on," McGraw said. "I think it was an unfortunate situation, I think all the way around."

"But it happened, it happened in a split second, it was pure instinctive reaction, I think you just got to move on. It is one of those things that happen, nobody feels good about it, but there's nothing that could be done about it. You are in that position, you are out there, you are vulnerable, things happen and sometimes you react. There's nothing to be said about it."
