"One of the pictures she posted was from that incident," he added.


J Blessing also stated that the two had another dispute yesterday night, but was not a battering event as previously reported.

"I want everyone to know that I did not beat her, that I am not an abuser, and that I do not support violence." "I am a person who has made mistakes in my life."

He said they had agreed to go their separate ways despite being together for over seven years and having a son.

"Avril and I have agreed that is best for both of us to stay away from each other to prevent such incidents from happening again," he said.
