Kehlani’s Custody Battle and ‘Cult’ Allegations, Explained
Published By admin with Comments 0
It’s a confusing time to be a Kehlani fan who isn’t super online. Since early August, claims and statements have been made by or about the singer on a near-daily basis, oftentimes via temporary Instagram Stories or social-media accounts that are now private or deactivated. At the center of the mess is Kehlani’s ongoing custody battle with Javaughn Young-White, the father of their 5-year-old daughter, Adeya. In a July 24 filing in the Los Angeles County Superior Court asking for full custody, Young-White accused Kehlani of leaving Adeya in the care of members of a “cult” including a leader he claimed “has numerous accusations of committing sexual assault against women and young girls.” After TMZ reported on this initial court filing in August, Young-White stated that he never said the group “was a sex cult” and walked back his allegations against the leader. However, he maintained that he is concerned about Adeya’s well-being, and said he plans to file an amended legal complaint. Young-White has also accused Kehlani of “framing her abuse” as his; Kehlani has alleged that Young-White had been abusive, and was granted a temporary restraining order against him on August 9. Meanwhile, the legal drama has also been accompanied by increased attention on Kehlani’s behavior in other relationships and friendships.
