"Verbally and emotionally, he’s abusive. He told me I’m not working; I have no money; I’m white trash. None of it was true. He hit me across the chest area, He pushed me into the toilet, and it broke. Water went everywhere, through the walls and even to the kitchen downstairs”

 

Jaleel's violent behavior wasn't the first time he did it when they were arguing, according to Bridget. What really matters is: were Bridget's claims true? Then White came with clarification; “I Have No History of Violence.”
