Ray J’s Ex-Girlfriend Addresses Domestic Violence Incident And Offers Apology
The woman at the center of the domestic violence incident involving Ray J, Shila Hasanoff, took to social media just days after the LAPD swarmed Ray J’s home to detail what happened.
Per TMZ, Hasanoff admitted to being the person who got physical, as she revealed that she “slapped the dog sh— out of him” in reference to Ray J. She said she did so because Ray J has been spiraling emotionally due to all the recent drama he’s been involved in.
Hasanoff specifically pointed out his current legal issues, health struggles, and rumors that he is involved with Suge Knight and Sean “Diddy” Combs. She then apologized, but stressed that she was trying to help him because he’s “suicidal.”
Ray J Refutes ‘Suicidal’ Claims And Speaks On Details Of Physical Altercation
Following the posting of her video confession, Ray J released a statement to TMZ and stressed that the claims that he is suicidal are not true.
"I'm feeling good right now -- I'm not suicidal at this moment -- I don't need to call a hotline -- I'm perfectly stable," he told the outlet in an official statement on Thursday, February 26.
The singer then went on to explain what happened during the domestic violence incident between them.
"On the night of the incident ... She was very aggressive with all the stuff going on ... she put her hands on me, and I literally got up out of there,” Ray J said. “[In a] situation like that, you get out of there to settle down the situation. Was I suicidal in that moment? I don't know what I was feeling.”
“She slapped me out of control. I didn't know if it was March or April; my back tooth is loose. It was a massive blow,” he added. “Hell yeah, I called 911 because I left the hotel and she followed me."
However, the reality star shared that despite the altercation, there are no hard feelings between them. "Her apology was sincere and weird at the same time, but we're on good terms."
LAPD Recently Swarmed Ray J’s Home After A Domestic Violence Call Was Placed
According to TMZ, Los Angeles police swarmed Ray J’s home after a call was placed to authorities regarding an alleged domestic violence incident.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) reportedly told the outlet that law enforcement received a call from Ray J’s residence on Saturday, February 21, at 2 a.m. local time for a report of battery domestic violence.
The call was said to be placed from inside Ray J’s residence, but it’s unclear who made the call. The suspect was believed to be an ex-girlfriend of Ray J’s, described as a 30-year-old Persian woman, although the details of what allegedly occurred were not made clear at the time.
Per TMZ, once the LAPD arrived at Ray J’s home, neither he nor the suspected woman was willing to speak to the police.
Since no statements from either party were made, the police cleared the scene, made no arrests, and filed no police report. It's unclear who initially contacted cops or what prompted the domestic violence call.
The Singer Was At The Center Of A Previous Domestic Violence Situation Involving His Estranged Wife
On Thanksgiving 2025, Ray J reportedly got into an altercation with his estranged wife and the mother of his two children, Princess Love, which resulted in him pulling a gun on her as he captured the incident on livestream.
Per TMZ, at one point during the livestream, Ray J could be seen snatching a gun off the table and loading it. He was also heard yelling at someone off-screen, ordering them to leave the house and accusing them of "trespassing."
The incident continued to escalate, as Princess, through tears, accused Ray J of pointing a gun at her before she told him that she was taking their children and leaving.
Ray J also threatened a man during the livestreamed altercation, specifically telling the man, "I'll shoot the f-ck out of you."
More threats followed off-camera, with the singer saying, "I'll kill you," and "Get out of my house before I shoot you right now. I got a gun on me."
Authorities arrived at the scene around 4 a.m. local time, and Princess spoke with one of the officers about the incident. Ray J was arrested shortly after.
Ray J’s Claims Of Severe Health Issues Have Left Fans Skeptical Due To His Increasingly Bizarre Behavior
Ray J's video announcing his alleged health issues quickly circulated online and sparked a range of opinions, as he claimed that he didn’t have long to live and likely would not be around to see 2027.
However, many believe that the singer was exaggerating or flat-out lying to gain sympathy and attention.
On Instagram, one user theorized that Ray J was "high" when he shared the news, calling him "diabolical." Another user argued Ray J's video was a "cry out for help."
On Reddit, users voiced similar reactions, with one asking whether the father of two's confession was a "sympathy ploy since he was arrested on Thanksgiving, I think for threatening his kids' mom with a gun?"
One user showed genuine concern for the singer, asking, "How much was he abusing?" They added, "It takes a lot of alcohol, like top-tier, to affect your heart."
There was also an incident during a Valentine’s Day performance where he had blood coming from his eyes and revealed an exposed heart monitor. However, the blood was revealed to be a stunt, and it was exposed by a photographer working the event.
