Ray J and his ex-girlfriend have opened up about why police officers responded to a domestic violence call at the singer's home in Los Angeles.
The 45-year-old artist, born Raymond Norwood, explained the situation to TMZ on Thursday, February 26, following Hasanoff's claims that he was suicidal. In a video she posted this week, Ray's ex, Shila Hasanoff, revealed that she went to his home last weekend to "grab him from jumping off the ledge." In that moment, Hasanoff said she let her emotions get the best of her and "slapped the dog s**t out of him." Ray J appeared to confirm her side of the story in his latest statement.
"On the night of the incident ... She was very aggressive with all the stuff going on," Ray told TMZ. "She put her hands on me and I literally got up out of there -- situation like that you get out of there to settle down the situation -- was I suicidal in that moment -- I don't know what I was feeling -- she slapped me out of control -- I didn't know if it was March or April, my back tooth is loose -- it was a massive blow -- Hell yeah I called 911 because I left the hotel and she followed me."
Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Police Department showed up to Ray J's home after they received a call about a domestic violence incident. When cops pulled up to the home, both parties involved refused to speak with the police. Since the two individuals didn't cooperate, the responding officers closed out the case without taking action.
Hasanoff said Ray J has been extremely stressed out due to his legal battle with Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian. The reality TV stars previously sued Ray J for defamation, and he responded by filing a countersuit for $1 million. On top of all that, he's also handling a custody battle over his kids with Princess Love, and his dealing with health issues after doctors told him only has months to live. Clearly, he's got a lot going on, but Ray J says he's stable for now.
"I'm feeling good right now," Ray J said. "I'm not suicidal at this moment. I don't need to call a hotline. I'm perfectly stable... [Hasanoff's] apology was sincere and weird at the same time -- but we're on good terms."
