WARNING: Contains extremely graphic accounts and descriptions of alleged violence
Disturbing details have emerged in rapper XXXTentacion's charges of alleged domestic abuse by strangulation, false imprisonment, aggravated battery of a pregnant woman charges and witness-tampering. Obtained by Pitchfork, the 142-page transcript recounts in horrifying specifics the repeated abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of the Florida rapper.
According to the documents, XXXTentacion, real name is Jahseh Onfroy, began living with the woman in Miami in May 2016. Two weeks later, the woman says Onfroy slapped an iPhone out of her hands after she complimented another male's jewelry. The alleged violence continued from there according to the documents via Pitchfork:
Later that day, XXXTentacion left the room and returned with two grilling implements—a “barbecue pitchfork” and a “barbecue cleaner,” she said—and told her to pick between them, because he was going to put one of them in her vagina. She chose the fork. He told her to undress. He was lightly dragging the tool against her inner thigh when she passed out. He did not penetrate her with it.
Violence continued and the alleged victim said the rapper threatened to kill her "literally like every day.” In another incident, Onfroy abused her for singing along to a different artist's feature on one of his songs.
Then, XXXTentacion head-butted her, punched her, stomped on her, and put her in the bathtub, where he continued hitting and kicking her. “He also wanted to cut out my tongue because I was singing the song,” she said. She tried to run away down the street. He tackled her, causing her head to hit the pavement. She suffered black eyes, a lump on the back of her head, scratch marks, and bruises, including a large bruise on her ankle where he stomped her.
While Onfroy served time in jail for a separate aggravated battery case, the woman had sex with another a man. The two got back together after his release and the violence continued.
In early October 2016, she found out that she was pregnant by XXXTentacion. The pregnancy was planned by both of them. On the afternoon of October 6, he told her to move from the bed they were lying on. He then went out onto the balcony, where she could still hear him, and called up the person she had slept with while XXXTentacion was in jail, demanding to know everything. When XXXTentacion returned inside, he told her, “You need to tell me the truth right now or I’ll kill you and this jit.” She said that “jit” was slang for the unborn child.
He then started elbowing, head-butting, and punching her. He strangled her until she almost passed out. He took her to the bathroom and demanded one last time that she tell him everything or he would kill her in the bathtub. She couldn’t even recognize her face in the mirror—it looked “distorted”—and her left eye was completely shut and “leaking blood.” She was losing vision. She vomited.
XXXTentacion has pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness-tampering. If found guilty during his trial scheduled for October 5th, he could face a lengthy stay in prison.
