Melle Mel Charged W/ Domestic Violence

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five member Melle Mel was detained on domestic violence charges after allegedly hitting a woman in the face.
The rap legend was detained in Los Angeles on Monday, after attending the 2023 BET Awards, and charged with felony domestic assault.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Melle Mel (actual name Melvin Glover) was freed from police custody after posting a $50,000 bond.
Jori Jordon, the alleged victim, claimed in a video that the 62-year-old had struck her in the left eye.
She said in the video, "I’m just sitting there, chillin. Next thing you know, this man just goes 'whack' with four rings on his finger and hits me in my eye."
She added, "He popped one of my stitches, so there’s a hole in my eye."
He verified that after they attended a BET Awards after party together, she walked up to his hotel room, and she refused to leave when he asked her to leave.
Melle Mel said and denied the accusations, "It’s very simple. She said I punched her in the eye. She also said she had eye surgery a month ago. Had I punched her in the eye, especially with rings on, she would have had a cut eye. It would have been way worse."
