Actor, Wood Harris, who is known for his iconic role as Avon Barksdale on the hit HBO series The Wire, is in the hot seat again. One of his alleged mistresses released a video tape of a phone call with Harris going in on a woman who claims that she was being manhandled by him.
Wood Harris Was Taped By An Alleged Mistresses Who Claimed He Beat Her:
Actor Wood Harris normally is not in the spotlight for drama. However, two women have come forward painting the actor as a cheater. One of his mistresses even went so far to say that Harris is a woman beater. Wood Harris, who’s best known for his role as crime boss Avon Barksdale on the classic HBO series The Wire has been trending lately as a woman came forward with claims of domestic violence.
According to Bossip, a woman contacted them with footage from a phone call between her and actor Wood Harris. The woman claims to be a girlfriend of his and she made strong allegations of abuse. On the phone call, Harris can be allegedly heard telling the woman that she is a “dumb *ss b*tch” and that she is reportedly upset that she is skinny. The woman responds by reportedly telling Harris that she loves him but she doesn’t want to be with anyway who lies about their marital status. As their conversation continued, the woman tells Harris that he’s not allowed to just take sex from her and that physical abuse is ok. Harris reportedly calls her a “stupid b*tch” and that he did not physically abuse her. At the end of the phone call, Harris tells the woman to take care of her kid and that he’s going to block her number.
You can listen to the alleged phone call between Harris and the woman below:
Bossip never released the name of the woman who recorded the phone call. However, given the recent chain of events, it’s quite possible that the woman on the phone call could be Anya Richardson…but again, that hasn’t been confirmed.
Second Mistress Alleges That Wood Harris Gave Her The Beat Down For No Reason:
Anya Richardson contacted TMZ stating that she had been abused by her married boyfriend, Wood Harris. Richardson had allegedly been dating for 2 years despite the fact that Harris has been married to a woman named Rebekah for 17 years. Harris has 2 children with Rebekah as they got married in 2001. According to TMZ, Richardson was allegedly asked to come to Philly by Harris as he is filming Creed II. To her surprise, Richardson was physically attacked by Harris for no reason.
According to a police report, obtained by TMZ, Richardson claimed he struck her multiple times in the stomach, neck and ribs. Richardson also alleged he spat on her face and choked her.
Richardson claims that her wounds required her to go to the hospital. In addition to a hospital visit, she also made a police report with the Philadelphia police department as she plan to press charges. However, because the Philadelphia police could not prove that the attack occurred, the charges were dismissed.
