(AllHipHop News) Earlier today, reports surfaced asserting Dave East and an unnamed woman were cited for misdemeanor battery for an encounter in Las Vegas over the weekend. Details about the situation, which supposedly took place during or after a three-way sexual encounter, are still murky.
The female accuser claimed East punched her in the arm after an argument. However, the “Everyday” rapper insisted he was the victim of a champagne bottle-throwing attack by the woman who was supposedly upset because she was not getting enough attention. East’s attorney, Stacey Richman, provided a statement to AllHipHop about the matter.
“The woman threw a soap dispenser and bottles of champagne at Dave. One of the bottles shattered on the wall, sending glass flying and cutting Dave. Another bottle hit Dave with force in the head. The woman sought to continue her assault,” says Richman.
The lawyer continues, “Dave did not respond with violence. Instead, Dave was concerned for everyone’s safety. Dave justifiably took the woman by the arm and put her out of the room. Dave did not assault anyone. He was ordered by his doctor to get CAT scan after the incident. We are waiting on the results. It was later learned that the woman had secreted Dave’s phones in her handbag.”
Reportedly, police did not arrest anyone involved in the alleged violent episode inside a Delano Las Vegas hotel room. Both Dave East and the woman were taken to different hospitals for treatment.
