Introduction
Last September, Jeannie Mai Jenkins and Jeezy filed for divorce, stating that they were living in a “bona fide state of separation” after two years of marriage. Since then, the proceedings have devolved into a contentious custody battle over their 2-year-old daughter, Monaco. TMZ reports that earlier this month, the rapper — whose legal name is Jay Wayne Jenkins — accused Mai of preventing him from seeing Monaco (something she denied) and asked for primary custody. Now, in new court documents filed Thursday, Mai, who’s best known for hosting the daytime talk show The Real, accused Jeezy of verbally and physically abusing her during their relationship and of endangering their daughter’s safety.
Allegations of Abuse
-
In a filing reviewed by the Cut, Mai detailed several incidents of alleged abuse. One, she claims, happened in Miami in January 2022, shortly after she’d given birth to the couple’s daughter. Her motion alleges Jeezy refused to let her leave a parked car, called her a “whore,” and hit her with a closed fist across her cheekbone and eye, giving her a subconjunctival hemorrhage. In another instance, Mai claims Jeezy choked her from behind while she was going up a set of stairs at the San Francisco Ritz-Carlton in April 2022, then pushed her down the stairs and called her a “fucking bitch.” The document says that hotel security intervened and “provided protection” for Mai after she told them she “felt unsafe.” (An incident report from the Ritz included in the suit provides the same details as Mai’s current claim.) Mai also says Jeezy berated her in a parked car again in December 2022, after the UNCF 39th Atlanta Mayor’s Masked Ball. According to the filing, when Mai tried to get out, Jeezy grabbed the neckline of her dress, tearing it and leaving scratches on her skin.
Evidence and Safety Concerns
-
Mai claims she and Jeezy spoke to their pastor and couple’s counselor about the first instance of domestic violence, and that Mai also told her therapist and best friend about what happened in Atlanta. The court documents include photos of injuries she alleges she sustained at some point during their marriage, when she claims Jeezy crashed a golf cart while drunk, hurting both himself and Mai. One screenshot appears to show Mai sending Jeezy photos of her scrapes and bruises and him responding, “I so sorry babe. Haven’t forgiven myself for puttin you indanger. I’ve been un easy and sad about it.”
