Teddy Riley has spoken out about his dispute with his daughter of which has led to a temporary restraining order being placed on the Blackstreet founder by his daughter Taja.
It was alleged that Teddy had attacked his daughter, stomping and punching her and threatening to ‘Kill someone’ with a ‘Rock Band’ guitar leaving Taja with injuries.
Teddy has since spoken out on the allegations and has denied assaulting Taja and claims that the situation has arisen out of a financial dispute, and the fact he has spoiled his children over the years .
“I love my daughters, but I will not allow my children to disrespect me in my home. Contrary to what I have been accused of, I would never beat my children,” Riley stated to TMZ.com. “Perhaps, I should have been a stronger disciplinarian as they were growing up. I worked very hard so that my children would want for nothing. In hindsight, I see that it was a mistake to give them everything they wanted so that they could have the childhood I never had. Unfortunately, they have taken me, and the privileged life I have given them, completely for granted.”
Whilst being fairly vague about the details Teddy did edge towards what he felt was the cause of the allegation :-
“Instead of being appreciative and realizing how fortunate they are, my children have an inflated sense of entitlement and expectation without having to work or earn their way,” Riley said. “However, my ‘children’ are no longer children, they are adults and I am trying to instill in them values and a work ethic of their own. I am not an uptight Dad, I am as hip as they come but I will not tolerate being taken advantage of or disrespected, especially in my home… I’m asking everyone to let this one go… I’m only being a good parent. I’m a great father and everyone who knows me, knows this is true.”
At this time Riley is still to remain at least 100 yards away from his daughter at all times untill the hearing.
