The former wife of gospel singer BeBe Winans says she’s pleased with the decision of Oprah Winfrey to remove him from her “Karaoke Challenge” until his domestic violence case is resolved.

Debra Winans made headlines last week when she questioned O’ss stance against domestic violence in light of her ex-husband’s continued appearances on her talk show despite a pending case for domestic violence. In February, BeBe was arrested for allegedly shoving Debra to the pavement outside of her home during an argument over child custody. He is due back in court on Jan. 20.

“It further demonstrates the fact that Oprah continues to be a strong voice against domestic violence and that she’s willing to take the steps necessary to defend the defenseless,” Debra said in a statement last week.

Earlier in this year, Oprah devoted an entire hour to domestic violence after Rihanna was beaten by Chris Brown.
