While we await further updates on Jonathan Majors' surprising arrest, TMZ has come through with word of more celebrity drama that ended in a Love & Hip-Hop: New York star being put behind bars. Earlier this month, Brittney Taylor was arrested after allegedly assaulting her baby daddy with a baseball bat. According to law enforcement sources, the reality starlet and her ex, Afeez, were fighting recently. At the time, she aggressively struck him with the weapon.
The pair share a 2-year-old and an 8-month-old. At the time of the alleged fight, the children's father was flying into NYX to see his children. Due to past issues between him and Taylor, Afeez notably planned to maintain his distance. He and his mother were reportedly leaving his baby mama's apartment. The young ones in tow, but when he ignored a comment from her, she blew it. It remains unclear exactly what was said. However, it upset the east coaster enough for her to punch Afeez in the face.

The accompanying criminal complaint notes that the children were present at the time. Afeez opted to leave the residence after being hit. Unfortunately, Taylor decided to continue the altercation by following him outside with a bat. She used it to strike him, which resulted in a laceration and significant facial bleeding. The social media personality's ex went to the hospital for treatment, where he received stitches for the cut above his eye. TMZ says that Brittney Taylor is now facing two charges of assault, one count of endangering the welfare of a child, and one count of criminal possession of a weapon.
A few weeks back, Afeez seemingly posted about being assaulted online, causing speculation to bubble about the possibility of his baby mama's involvement. While nothing was initially confirmed, it sounds as though internet sleuths who pieced the puzzle together earlier were right. A few years back, Taylor's L&HH co-star Remy Ma was arrested for allegedly punching her at a concert, though those charges were ultimately dropped. Check out graphic photos of Afeez's injuries here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
