“To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is a understatement,” she continued. “To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely like insane. This will be The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t like. I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my self respect.”
A day after Renay shared her post via social media, NE-YO penned a response in a message on Twitter.
“For the sake of our children, my family and I will work through our challenges behind the closed doors. Personal matters are not meant to be addressed and dissected in public forums,” he sshared. “I simply ask that you please respect me and my family’s privacy at this moment.”
Renay and NE-YO tied the knot in February 2016 and share three children: 19-month-old daughter Isabella Rose, as well as sons Roman Alexander-Raj, 4½, and Shaffer Chimere Jr of, 6.
