Vonshae Taylor Provides More Details Through Social Media
Shortly after the news broke, Vonshae acknowledged the matter in an Instagram post.
The upload consisted of a screenshotted message from her Notes app, and she confirmed that she and her daughter are “safe.”
Vonshae also attributed the overall issue to Gunplay allegedly “using again,” and she specified that he “developed a very bad drinking problem.”
While she acknowledged trying “everything” to help Gunplay, Vonshae declared, “At this point, I really believe it’s too late.”
She went on to confirm that the ordeal unfolded after she requested that Gunplay “quiet down” while playing Call of Duty. Although Vonshae said she wanted to take their baby to another room, Gunplay objected, and “things went left fast.”
As a result, she called the authorities. Vonshae also secured a restraining order and is “filing for divorce.”
“He was arrested last night, the weapon is in police custody. I have a restraining order, my daughter is in my custody and I am filing for divorce. He will never get the chance to disrespect us again.”
