In the last year, about 23.5% of divorces listed domestic abuse as a contributing factor, particularly in cases involving child custody.
Jeezy is responding to the domestic abuse claims made by Jeannie Mai in their ongoing divorce. In a statement to ET, Jeezy denied the allegations and expressed his shock at the accusations from someone he loved. He emphasized his commitment to being a responsible father to their daughter and fighting for joint custody through legal channels.
Mai’s court documents detail instances of alleged physical abuse by Jeezy during their marriage. One incident involved Jeezy choking her and pushing her down stairs at a hotel, while another incident led to a physical altercation in a car shortly after their child was born. Mai also described situations where Jeezy exhibited aggressive behavior, including grabbing her violently and crashing a golf cart while intoxicated.
Mai attached text messages and photos of her injuries to her court filing, documenting the alleged abuse. She shared her concerns about their child’s safety due to unsecured firearms in the past, highlighting an incident where their daughter found a gun in a bag on the floor.
The couple is currently in a custody dispute over their daughter, and Jeezy filed for divorce last September after two years of marriage.
