Teddy Riley Attacked Daughters With “Rock Band” Guitar
Teddy Riley, formerly of the ’90s supergroups Guy & Blackstreet, is accused of attacking his daughters with a guitar from the video game Rock Band. According to documents filed by his 18 year old daughter Taja, Riley — a pioneering producer of the New Jack Swing-era of R&B — beat her with a guitar from the video game.
The young woman also claims her famous father, now 43, punched, kicked and bashed her and her older sister before kicking them out of the family’s Los Angeles home on Dec. 23. She suffered injuries to the temple, bruises on her knee and contusions on her face and has been granted a temporary restraining order.
In the documents, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Taja claims at one point Teddy, “lifted a Rock Band guitar and threatened to kill person(s) w/ it.”
