American rapper, Gunplay faced domestic violence charges last month for allegedly aiming a rifle at his estranged wife, Vonshae Taylor-Morales, while she held their infant daughter. On Friday, September 1, Taylor-Morales shared a video clip of another troubling incident in their tumultuous relationship. In the undated video, Gunplay repeatedly asks her if she threw out his belongings, and when she doesn’t respond, he smashes their television with a frying pan.
In her detailed caption, Vonshae explained her actions during the incident, including hitting him with a bottle to protect their daughter.
“I was trying my hardest to just let his little story slide, but I can’t. Yes, I hit him with a bottle. I did anything possible to make him let go of our daughter, and the police know that. Furthermore, my grandmother has been dead for SIX years. I didn’t know I could call the dead. This was back when I found out I was pregnant before we moved to Brickell.”
“All of this because I poured out HIS Hennessy AFTER he kept buying liquor, trippin’ (notice in his statement, he said it was me with Hennessy, and he broke the TV over a game once before). He almost assaulted a fan in the parking lot just for saying, ‘I went to high school with you.’ She then called the police. That man can go from 1,000 to 2 as soon as he sees the police.
Taylor-Morales shared her frustration, highlighting the ongoing problems in their relationship, especially after the birth of their daughter Osanna.
“This BEEN an issue. I thought during my pregnancy since things were better he will be ok. After Osanna came and got sick he went back to all his old ways. I have plenty of recordings of incidents like this and how his aggression, drinking and using progressed over time.”
She concludes, “Now here we are present day all the drama has transpired and he says the very next day on a recorded jail call he don’t remember anything to MULTIPLE people. This is his cycle. At some point enough is enough. Once again I tried my very best to help him and change him and I failed. We all just want to move on and heal from this situation. So let’s stop playing Nancy Drew and judging people. This situation is very serious. Let’s pray for ALL parties involved.”
Gunplay, whose real name is Richard Morales Jr., was arrested in Miami last month for allegedly pointing an AK-47 at Taylor-Morales while she was holding their 6-month-old daughter. According to Fox Sports journalist Andy Slater, the incident occurred after she told him to quiet down while playing Xbox.
The rapper was taken into custody on multiple charges, including assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, and child abuse, despite denying the allegations.
