Rock Band:Seasons Beatings Edition

Written by Richard Bailey

With the holiday season well behind us, it now appears not everyone may have enjoyed Christmas quite as much as the next. In a bizarre twist of fate Blackstreet Singer and Producer, Teddy Riley, shocked and amazed many by attacking and threatening his 18 year old daughter with a Rock Band Guitar. Kotaku is reporting that as a result of the injuries sustained in the altercation, Taja Riley is now filing a restraining order against her father. The grave details below go into further detail as to what has happened…

Teddy’s 18-year-old daughter Taja Riley was granted a temporary restraining order against her dad — claiming 43-year-old Teddy abused her and her older sister by “stomping, punching and bashing them” in his L.A. home on December 23.

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.”

Taja claims she suffered several injuries in the alleged altercation — including “bashes to temple, contusion on face” and “pain in knee.”

Teddy has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Taja. The next hearing is set for January.

As if this news wasn’t crazy enough, further controversy ensued when Teddy jumped on his twitter page to comment on the matter and offer a stern warning to his daughter…

Since then Teddy’s twitter page has been taken down, but the comments are still visible upon using the search bar. While it’s easy to argue that 2009 has been the year for celebrity meltdowns, the idea of introducing domestic violence into the equation takes things way too far. While it’s debatable that every kid deserves a good old fashioned whopping nowadays, I hardly doubt that death is necessary to teach a lesson. Hopefully these celebrities will realize they are in the spotlight 24-7 and as a result should be careful about how there actions are being perceived. In the meantime, at least Rock Band: Blackstreet is one title I don’t have to look forward to dropping anytime soon.
