Addressing the resurgence of the domestic violence allegations that ex-girlfriend Bridget Hardy had made against him in 2010, actor Jaleel White explained to “Entertainment Tonight” (via Daily Mail), “There was no verbal abuse. Couples argue, that’s normal. I’m not going to pretend like we didn’t have any arguments, obviously we broke up. But to say verbal abuse, and to come out with that during ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ when this is an old child custody case matter that was settled in 2010, this is not a new story. It was an attack on my joy.”

White remained consistent with his version of events and his reiteration of the fact that his conflict with Hardy was in relation to the custody of their child together. In a statement originally published by People and reposted via ET, he said in part, “The allegations made against me back in 2010 have suspiciously resurfaced in time to coincide with my new show on Syfy and Dancing With The Stars … Bridget Hardy has consistently shown a knack for timing throughout our child custody disputes.”
