'Deeply disturbing': Jeezy denies Jeannie Mai's child neglect, domestic violence accusations

Alexandra Del Rosario, Los Angeles Times on

“[Jeezy] has a history of threats, violence, and bodily harm,” court documents said. “[Mai] mistakenly believed [Jeezy] when he convinced her prior to their marriage that he was a changed man, and his past was in his past, but as one can see from the examples of abuse [Mai] endured during the marriage that has not turned out to be the case.”

Mai’s response also sparked renewed concern over Jeezy’s firearms and alleged lack of safekeeping, which has caused tension in their temporary co-parenting arrangement. Denying the rapper’s previous claims he has “always made sure that his firearms are secured and safely away,” Mai alleged that her estranged ex-husband “frequently” walks around his Atlanta home with an AK-47 in hand and leaves bullets, “an obvious choking hazard,” lying around his home “unsecured.”

Photos included in Mai’s response show the rapper walking down a stairwell in his home with a firearm. Mai also said she turned over a handgun she discovered in their Los Angeles home to police before she and Monaco moved to Boston earlier this month for work.

In a motion to vacate their mediated agreement filed earlier this month, Jeezy claimed that their child would have “stability” if he was granted “primary physical custody.” Mai countered the “All There” rapper’s claim with accusations of child neglect. Mai alleges Jeezy left their child unattended on multiple occasions, including during a December 2023 visit when she learned that Monaco “had been locked in her room overnight,” which allegedly resulted in a “health-related toxic and biohazardous situation.”

Mai also alleged that Jeezy refused to keep Monaco on his health insurance policy, despite her requests.

“For [Jeezy] to now try [to] create a false narrative wherein he attempts to villainize the mother of his child because he didn’t do what he agreed to do to effectuate his parenting time with his daughter is disingenuous,” she said in her response.

 

Mai’s filing cited her estranged husband’s 2014 arrest, detailed his alleged drinking habits and drunk driving accidents, and accused him of domestic violence toward his eldest son. Mai also included proof of email correspondences between the spouses’ respective attorneys, photos of Mai’s bruised limbs after an alleged golf cart crash, and text-message exchanges allegedly between the former couple.

“Babbbby...I. have a lot of dresses to wear this week,” reads a message from Mai. She sent several photos of her injuries from the alleged golf art accident to the “Adversity for Sale” author.

“I’m so sorry babe. Haven’t forgiven myself fo puttin you indanger [sic]. I’ve been un easy and sad about it,” Jeezy allegedly said, according to the screenshot.

In Thursday’s filing, Mai responded to Jeezy’s most recent allegations about their daughter’s whereabouts and the care that she has received under her mother. Mai is also open to undergoing a parental fitness evaluation, as previously requested by Jeezy.

Mai asked the court to enforce the terms of her and Jeezy’s mediated agreement and accused the rapper of “cherry-picking” which aspects of the agreement he follows. She also requested that the court throw out Jeezy’s motion to vacate their mediated agreement, deny requests to change the agreement and that the court awards her legal fees.
