Kehlani Gets Temporary Restraining Order After Accusing Ex Javaughn Young-White Of Abuse Amid Custody Battle

by

As a dedicated follower of Kehlani’s journey, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of concern and sadness over the recent developments in her life. Having witnessed her rise to fame and the beautiful music she has created, it’s heart-wrenching to see her dealing with such difficult times off-stage.

On a Friday, artist Kehlani obtained a short-term protective order from her former partner, Javaughn Young-White. This action follows accusations of both physical, verbal, and emotional mistreatment. Kehlani, who identifies with the she/they pronouns, requested this order for their safety as well as that of their 5-year-old child, Adeya, due to Young-White’s unpredictable actions being a primary worry.

As reported by Page Six, citing court documents, Kehlani submitted a petition in Los Angeles’ Superior Court last week. The petition outlines a series of alleged abusive incidents, one of which took place around mid-June. In this incident, Young-White is accused of flying into a rage and forcefully entering Kehlani’s locked bedroom. Kehlani characterized the event as an outburst of anger, alleging that Young-White insulted her and falsely accused them of entrapment.

According to court papers filed by Kehlani, she claimed that Young-White had been physically abusive towards her for many years, even during her pregnancy. The artist alleged that he frequently lost control and was negligent in their relationship. Furthermore, Kehlani disclosed that Young-White resided on her property and spent much of his time smoking marijuana regularly and using psychedelic substances.

In addition to her comments, Kehlani expressed worry about Young-White’s poor hygiene. She mentioned that when he looked after their daughter, she would return dirty and smelling strongly of marijuana. Furthermore, Kehlani portrayed his behavior as erratic, alleging that he would suddenly flail his arms while shouting and swearing, and frequently throw items and hurled insults at her.

In response to the accusations, Young-White posted alleged text messages from Kehlani on social media, claiming she begged him to call her in June. He denied the abuse allegations, claiming, “She busted through her own door and is framing her abuse as mine.”

Shortly following Kehlani’s restraining order, Young-White submitted a request for complete custody of Adeya. In his petition, he stated that Kehlani is part of a group that has an impact on her actions and parenting. He argued that this supposed group was the cause behind Kehlani omitting him from Adeya’s birth certificate and denying him access to their daughter for several months.

Kehlani countered Young-White’s allegations on social media, labeling them as “extremely painful, incorrect, inappropriate, and completely false.” She unequivocally stated that she never endangered her child nor left Adeya with an unsafe individual.

After the hearing on September 3 at 8:30 a.m., the temporary protective order will no longer be in effect. Kehlani and Young-White, who were romantically involved between 2018 and 2019, had their daughter in March 2019. The ongoing custody dispute and accusations of abuse persist, as both parties argue their cases in court.
