R&B singer K. Michelle is coming under fire after court documents from her lawsuit with ex boyfriend Memphitz were leaked and apparently some of the details surrounding the abuse claim that K has been saying for years, don’t appear to be adding up based on deposition transcripts at least according to some folks on social media.
Fans who have followed K know that upon her first season of ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’ the singer was very vocal about the alleged abuse she endured at the hands of Memp during their relationship. Her claims even caused friction between she and cast mate Rasheeda who is friends with Memphitz and his current wife Toya Wright. The claims also is what triggered the still on going feud between K. Michelle and Tamar Braxton, as Tamar is also friends with the couple, and like Rasheeda she questioned the validity in K’s abuse claim.
K also did multiple interview including ‘The Breakfast Club in 2012 where she detailed the events that went down between she and Memp.
I wasn’t just sitting there innocent, but I didn’t hit him first. I did not. I didn’t do anything. He blacked out. It wasn’t just a restraining. I was smothered with a towel. He hit me in the head with a water bottle. It wasn’t nothing small. I was bruised up and bleeding. What shocked me the most was the smothering. I was crawling and climbing to get away. Once I got away he was doing it again. He yanked me. I had carpet burns. I looked in his face and it did not look like him. I was screaming, “It’s me”. After that I left.
He was texting saying “I miss you, I’m sorry, I made a mistake. I really couldn’t forgive it because then he started saying “I made you”. When he started saying he made me then I started getting mad because I did not press charges because I loved him and I didn’t want him to get in trouble. I didn’t want him to lose his job. I still loved him. I just didn’t want to be with him. It got bad when R. Kelly came in.”
After the claims were made on the show which is still one of the highest rated cable network shows, and in multiple interviews, Memp filed his lawsuit against K. Michelle, Mona Scott-Young’s production company and Viacom. Memphitz is asking that K. Michelle pay his attorney’s fees and cost of litigation for his troubles and claims that there was no domestic violence against K on his part. Now Bossip has obtained some documents from the court deposition where K was questioned about the events and the night that according to her he suffocated her with a towel, hit her with a water bottle and drug her across the floor.
In the deposition it is also revealed that K and fellow singer Dondria Fields vandalized Memphitz’s home and destroyed some of his property. Since the leaking of the documents social media as well as other blogs have been questioning K’s story and the details around it. Mainly that she says that he beat her as she screamed in the video above during her meeting with Rasheeda. However in the deposition, she reveals that although they had a scuffle he did not strike her with his fist as it was insinuated.
It’s pretty safe to say that when it comes to domestic abuse claims, the subject should never be taken lightly and no one knows what really happened but the two parties involved. Whether it was a punch or not, a water bottle, smothering, etc. no form of physical violence is acceptable.
Peep the transcripts below.
It looks like following the social media backlash she encountered K has decided to take an indefinite break from social media. The singer took to her social media accounts late Sunday evening to share with her fans that she would be leaving social media. Peep her statement below:
I’m so not perfect this I know. Sometimes I just need to shut up and pick my battles better, but one thing I’m not is evil spirited. This week I really opened my eyes. I saw people justifying violence against me, believing the half truths of gossip blogs, a person Dm’ing me cause they were contemplating suicide, and now this. People are really hurting all over the world! Social media was made for fun, but it has become so heavy. A source for bullying and hurting those who u secretly desire to be. I’m not mad at any of you hurt souls though. Who I am to judge? I’ve just decided to hand over this negative source in my life. I’m happy now. And some battles aren’t worth me fighting anymore. Throw all the darts you want at me, have fun over here in negative land. But know lying on me, and insulting me, won’t heal you. Trust me, I used to be just like u! Rebels I love you!!!!!!! Can’t wait for u to hear this Album! See you on the road. Not bye forever, just taking a little break to smile I’ll be back
