"Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star Moniece Slaughter says her life was threatened after speaking out about Dr. Dre's alleged fling with her costar, Apryl Jones.
Moniece wrote a lengthy statement explaining she will not be talking about Dre in the future. She said it was due to the threats made against her after she initially confirmed Dre’s alleged romance with her enemy Apryl Jones.
She said, “As a woman, in a time where we’re told we should be valued, exalted, and protected, “I’ve been conflicted as to how I was going to proceed or address last night’s chain of events."
She said she was, "Torn between allowing men to intimidate or bully me into being silent, or to speak up for myself and stand firm in my positions.”
Moniece continued, “Upon waking up today I was told that my life, along with my son’s life, and my family’s lives were in danger.”
She claimed, “That I was dealing with a very powerful man, and that I needed to be quiet, to disappear from social media, and even think about taking a vacation to “clear my mind.”
The “Love & Hip Hop” star said, “For no reason other than the safety of my loved ones, moving forward, I will not be speaking out publicly about all that has transpired. I will not be accepting any media or interview requests or inquiries. I will continue to live my life as I do on a day-to-day basis.”
“I will continue to care for my son, I will continue to sing and make music, I will continue to be happy. I will continue to do any and all things that contribute to my happiness and success. Thank you for the outpouring of love and support. I’ll be back in a bit.”
As The Blast previously reported, earlier this week, Moniece claimed Apryl had dating Dre for some time. Paparazzi photos were leaked showing Dre leaving BOA steakhouse in Hollywood with Lil Fizz's ex-girlfriend.
She didn't know it was a secret. She added, “I’ve known for a while. I was shocked just because of her public announcement that she’s polyamorous. I was surprised that someone as established and refined as Dre would almost wife her.”
After talking about Dre and Apryl, Moniece said she received a threatening phone call from a producer who told her to keep the music mogul out of her mouth. She spoke to Dre directly on IG live saying, “How dare you send a ngga to bang my motherfcking line and threaten me? don’t know you and you don’t know me and I didn’t say anything negative about you, sir. Don’t you send another motherfucker to this phone of mine to make one more fcking threat.”
