Gunplay's Wife Gives Updates On The Situation

"Do you guys understand how unhinged he was to break a porcelain sink after I left!!!!" she continued. "If he didn’t do anything and I’m 'exaggerating' why the hell did he reach out to a lawyer asking for a bond in the midst of all this drama? That’s a innocent person? He in jail contacting my friends and family trying to have me drop the charges. Now he in jail having HIS friends talk to me and about me online CR*ZY. I hope the justice system doesn’t fail another black woman and child. If they do, he still will NEVER be able to be around me or my child. It doesn’t matter however y’all spin it. Pulling a gun out on your family and then choking a child in the midst is UNACCEPTABLE."

With these new allegations, it seems like the case is uglier than people thought. Hopefully she and her child are able to remain safe and heal form this incredibly rough situation.
