We have no tolerance for violence of any kind, and the shopper account was immediately suspended from our platform. We have been in direct contact with the customer and are cooperating with law enforcement on their investigation,"  an Instacart representative said in a statement to PEOPLE.

Harmon explained that authorities let the driver "go, because he claimed 'self-defense,'" adding, "He did not have a scratch or bite on him nor were his pants torn."

"He was shopping under a woman’s identity," wrote Harmon.

The alum also shared an Instagram Story with the news. "To the man who took Ollie away from us: your actions are despicable and inexcusable," she wrote. "You've not only robbed us of a beloved member of our family but you've also traumatized us beyond measure."
