Beginning to explain her side of the story, she said, "Unfortunately, Richard is back using and developed a very bad drinking problem. I've tried everything in my power to help him and love him. This is a demon he has to overcome on his own. At this point, I really believe it's too late."

She then narrated the incident in detail, "To summarize last night event. I asked Richard to quiet down as he scared the baby sleeping by yelling playing call of duty. He started going off on me for asking him to be quiet."

She continued, "I tried to collect a bag so my daughter and I can go to a room while he sobers up. He didn't want us to level and things went left fast. He was arrested last night, the weapon is in police custody."

She concluded, "I have a restraining order, my daughter is in my custody and I'm filing for divorce. He will never get the chance to disrespect us again. Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. This is a very traumatizing experience please keep me in your prayers."

Another expressed relief now that the baby was out of danger, saying, "I'm glad you & your baby are okay. Sending prayers your way."

One user expressed that they had no hope whatsoever of Gunplay ever mending his ways. The person wrote, "You're young and beautiful I DK how you got wrapped up with that old man he had a problem before you."

They added, "He's gonna have a problem after you because he truly has not dealt with the things that are causing him to have these types of addictions. He definitely needs rehab."

Another user was quick to react, writing, "I’m so sorry you experienced this. Proud of you for drawing the boundary quickly for you and your daughter’s safety and health. It’s so important that we model for our daughters that harm is intolerable. You’re doing a good job, mommy."
