Mary J. Blige Punched Husband Kendu Issacs?
Did domestic violence survivor and women’s rights crusader Mary J. Blige slug her husband, producer Kendu Issacs?
A representative for the singing legend has dismissed speculation that her marriage is in trouble, following reports of a public brawl with husband Kendu Isaacs during her album release party in New York City on Tuesday.
The “No More Drama” hitmaker has been married to the record industry executive since 2003, but the couple was rumored to be having problems following a reported incident at a party at the M2 Ultralounge. The New York Post reports the singer flew into a rage after she caught her husband looking at one of the waitresses and hit him front of shocked guests — including Busta Rhymes and hip-hop supercouple Jay-Z and Beyonce.
“She turned to him and was screaming, ‘You’re not going to ruin my night.’ They got up in each other’s faces before someone tried to separate them, at which point she shoved the guy aside, pulled back and popped (hit Isaacs) in the face. She was yelling at him, ‘What are you gonna do, Chris Brown me?’ Four of her bodyguards and two of the club’s kept them apart.”
Kendu was kicked out of the club and a dishelved MJB left a short time later. Mary’s publicist is adamant that the couple’s relationship is stronger than ever.
“They’re as happy as can be. They’re spending the holidays together with their three children. Everything’s great,” says spokeswoman Karynne Tencer.
