"Nearly" enough to draw blood. So ... not enough. I watched a news report on this that showed her arm, and I could not discern any bite mark. I am also under the impression that some period of time passed between this incident and her reporting it. (Kove was talking to police about how he wanted to go talk to her and apologize, so this wasn't "He just bit me, let me go find an authority to report this to.")

Now, don't get me wrong, dude was out of line. It's easy enough to pretend to bite someone on the arm without putting your mouth juice on them at all, and he utterly failed to do that. An actor should know that. Yes, she should have reported it, whether immediately or not, but I'm having a hard time squaring her not handling it right away with her shouting him down later.

No, her quote from the article says:

Hannah-Kim told an officer stationed in the VIP area that after she tapped Kove on the shoulder to say hello, he suddenly grabbed her arm and bit her “so hard he nearly drew blood.” Although Hannah-Kim declined to press charges, she requested that a report be filed “in case this continues.”

It’s wrong and a very strange thing to do to someone but no blood.
