LOS ANGELES: Drama unfolded early Thanksgiving morning as singer and TV star Ray J was taken into custody following a chaotic domestic incident at his Los Angeles home.
The incident involved allegations of a firearm threat during a live-streamed confrontation. Law enforcement sources confirmed that Ray J was booked on a charge of making a criminal threat, with bail set at $50,000.
According to reports, the incident was captured on a live stream posted online, showing Ray J handling a handgun and threatening anyone who tried to approach his property.
Audio from the stream included raised voices, children crying, and approaching police sirens before the feed abruptly ended.
Police were called to the residence around 4 a.m., responding to a possible domestic violence situation, and subsequently took Ray J into custody. Princess Love addressed the incident publicly for the first time, rejecting claims that alcohol played a role.
She explained that Ray J had not contacted their children for nearly a month, prompting her to bring the kids to his home while preparing Thanksgiving dinner. She added that she had warned him any conflict would result in her leaving with the children.
Ray J disputed her account, alleging that Princess Love attempted to remove the children late at night while everyone had been drinking. He claimed that a man entered his bedroom and attempted to take the children while they slept, prompting him to act defensively. Ray J maintained that he called the police to protect his family and home.
The livestream reportedly began with Ray J calling it “the worst Thanksgiving in the world” and escalated quickly as he brandished the firearm and shouted warnings. Princess Love confronted him on-camera, accusing him of pointing the gun at her and their children, while Ray J responded by claiming intoxication and defending his actions. The incident concluded as police arrived and secured the scene.
Investigations are ongoing, and authorities have not released further details. The incident highlights the complexities of domestic disputes and the importance of legal intervention in ensuring family safety
