Okay family, before we dig into this story, we’d like to state that here, at ILoveOldSchoolMusic, we do not care if a person -celebs included- is gay, straight, bi-sexual, or try-sexual (not really sure what that means, but that’s a term Tevin Campbell hipped us to a while back.) Like we always say, it is the content of a person’s character we choose to judge them by- not their sexual preference.
With that said, let us fill y’all in on the current court drama that is about to go down between “Slow Down” singer, Bobby Valentino, and the transgender woman who made some serious allegations against him recently.
The Allegations
In case you’ve been outta the loop regrading the many trending stories about Bobby V. and the transgender woman, who goes by the name of Reima Houston, here’s a quick breakdown: On July 29, 2017, Houston broke the internet when she filmed a man appearing to be Bobby V. partly dressed and hustling to cover his face as Houston repeatedly called out Bobby V.’s name and blasted him after they’d reportedly had some type of sexual interaction.
Bobby V. then told media outlets that Houston was “a prostitute” (but later recanted that claim) who was trying to “extort” him for $2,000. Houston denied both clams, but instead stated that Bobby V. owed her money and tried to play her by not giving it to her, so that’s why she says she made the video.
Their Upcoming Court Showdown
Fast forward to today and Bobby is following through on the arrest warrant he filed against Houston with a Fulton County deputy clerk on Aug. 8th. He’s now reportedly hired attorney Gregory Griggs to face off with Houston in an Atlanta courthouse over that now viral incident. See details below…
Via Eurweb: We’ve just been informed that transgender woman Reima Houston and singer Bobby V will face each other for the first time…before a judge in a Fulton County courtroom this Friday, August 25. EURweb received the information via a press release from from She L. Robinson at Robinson Squared LLC, a public relations agency in Atlanta. Ms. Houston will also present to the court her warrant application accusing [Bobby Valentino] of assault, aggravated assault, battery and stalking for his actions that occurred that night. … The hearing will take place at 9am on 08/25/2017 at the Fulton County Courthouse in downtown Atlanta located at 185 Central Avenue SW, Atlanta, GA 30303 in courtroom 1B.
Ah well…another day, another legal problem for an award winning R&B singer. Who will be next? We don’t know, but maybe the other singers will use what’s been happening with the plethora of accusations against R. Kelly, Usher, and even rapper, Mystikal, as a reminder to stay on top of their P’s and Q’s and watch who they hang around.
