A few days ago, Jennifer Hough, the alleged rape victim of Nicki Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty, spoke out, about the case. This was during a TV interview on "The Real."
It was there, where Hough confirmed that what she supposedly suffered in 1995, was true. Following that incident in Queens, NY, Petty was charged with first-degree rape, and went on to serve four years in prison.
He later had to register as a sex offender, in the state of New York.
Hough Has Been Receiving Threats From Nicki Fans Since Interview
The aftermath of Hough's The Real interview hasn't been too great to her, though. According to TMZ, she's been hit with plenty of threats by fans of Nicki, aka, "The Barbz." Hough's attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, revealed that these threats started to come in, as soon as that interview concluded.
Instagram DMs to Hough has since been leaked, and they include messages such as wishing death on her, as well as how she's a "clout chaser," and how she supposedly just wants to receive a large sum of money, from this whole situation. Hough ended up denying these accusations to one user, where she explained how she just wants to be left alone.
"That's not true, luv," Hough explained on IG. I wish they would have just left me alone and been happy. I don't want him and I wasn't trying to hurt her, but did you have this energy with her when she lied on me? When she said I falsely accused him."
Hough's Life Has Been Affected For Years, Due To This Case
Attorney Blackburn also added that Hough has had to change her phone number, change jobs, and move, over the years, due to having to live in fear. This also comes after she sued Minaj and Petty last month, for allegedly being threatened, in a move to get Hough to recant her story of what happened, in 1995.
Despite this situation, more women have supposedly been supporting Hough heavily, following her The Real interview. They believe that that gave them the courage to speak out on what they've personally gone through, as well.
Attorney Blackburn revealed that 30 women have since contacted her, to show support for Hough, and to express how brave they believe she is.
Petty Faces 10 Years In Prison
Earlier this month, Petty also entered a guilty plea, as a result of a March 2020 case, where he failed to register as a sex offender, in the state of California.
At the time, he was arrested by U.S. Marshals and went on to post a $100,000 bond. He also plead not guilty then, but that changed, over a year and a half later. He is scheduled to be sentenced on January 24, 2022. Petty is facing 10 years in prison, as well as a lifetime of supervised release.
Minaj has been very quiet regarding her husband's troubling legal woes but has been active on social media regarding other subjects, such as her controversial COVID-19 vaccine takes, and her claim of how her cousin's friend allegedly suffered swollen testicles, due to taking this vaccine.
