Blackstreet’s Teddy Riley made a statement in regards to assulting his daughter.
“Due to recent events, I am compelled to respond in detail to accusations made against me, by my daughters,” Riley wrote in a statement. “I love my Daughters, but I will not allow my children to disrespect me in my home. Contrary to what I have been accused of, I would never beat my children. Perhaps, I should have been a stronger disciplinarian as they were growing up. I worked very hard so that my children would want for nothing. In hindsight, I see that it was a mistake to give them everything they wanted so that they could have the childhood I never had. Unfortunately, they have taken me, and the privileged life I have given them, completely for granted…However, my ‘children’ are no longer children, they are adults and I am trying to instill in them values and a work ethic of their own…I’ve been working since the age of 14, I bought my first car by myself. Nobody gave me a car. My kids don’t even remember their first car. I grew up with 6 of us in an apartment fighting over one bathroom. My kids have never had to share a bathroom, let alone a bedroom. I’m asking everyone to let this one go… I’m only being a good parent. I’m a great father and everyone who knows me, knows this is true.” (TMZ)
Thats deep.
