According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Karen was arrested in Las Vegas on June 17 and charged with misdemeanor harassment, violation of a temporary order for protection against domestic violence, preventing or dissuading a witness from testifying or producing evidence with immediate threat or use of physical force, and aggravated stalking constituting domestic violence. She was released from jail on June 21 and arraigned on June 23.
Per the complaint, she allegedly sent Deon messages, threatening to harm him and their children.
“I want you dead,” she allegedly wrote in a message. “I could kill you, and it won’t even bother me to go to jail and I’ll kill any of my kids if they take your side.”
The documents added that Karen’s alleged comments indicated “that she has a gun and making threats to kill him and/or his new girlfriend and/or his children and/or telling him there are lots of cousins and killing him would be easy and/or she will see to it that he dies a slow death.”
Deon also discussed the claims in an interview with Us Weekly, sharing, “She didn’t specify which one. It was a brawl. Like, ‘I’ll kill y’all. I’ll go to jail for it. I’ll gladly go to jail for it.’ That was said several times.”
Meanwhile, Karen’s lawyer called the charges “total nonsense and fabricated by Mr. Derrico” in a statement.
“This has everything to do with him being spiteful and malicious and nothing to do with him being frightened or harassed,” the lawyer added.
