Memphitz Turns The Table On K. Michelle's Abuse Allegation

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star K. Michelle has repeatedly accused music executive Memphitz Wright of physical abuse during their relationship. According to K. Michelle she was slapped, smothered with a pillow and left with bruises on her arm.

Memphitz had previously denied ever hitting the reality TV star but in his latest interview with TT Torrez he recalls what happened that evening.

In the interview Memphitz claims he never put his hands on her and she attacked him. He says the infamous altercation took place after she kept embarrassing him at meetings and he demanded she go wait for him in their hotel room. He goes on to say when he got back to the room and tried to break up with K. Michelle, she started swinging on him. Memphitz did wind up admitting he held K. Michelle’s wrists as he tried to restrain her from slapping him in the face repeatedly. He also took responsibility for putting his hand over her mouth so she would stop screaming at the top of her lungs.

The finale of Love & Hip Hop aired last night and unfortunately for Michelle her story has centered around these allegations and very little on her music.

Listen to the interview below. What’s your verdict?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
