What CeeLo Green's Ex Christina Johnson Blames For Their Divorce

Despite the love they had for one another, Christina Johnson and CeeLo Green had fallen into some toxic patterns in their marriage, and that’s what led to their divorce.

Speaking to “Smitty and Dee,” Johnson shared that both she and Green had faced some serious trials and tribulations growing up, which began taking a toll on their marriage. For Johnson, one of the things that had been particularly pervasive throughout her childhood was domestic violence. As for Green, he’d been bullied and hadn’t yet realized he could channel his feelings and eccentricities into music. Neither of them had healed from everything they’d been through, so they had come into the marriage with heavy baggage — so much so that in the “Smitty and Dee” interview, Johnson explained, “We were trauma bonding.” 

Of course, trauma bonding refers to toxic patterns within a relationship, and it certainly seems as though that was the case with Johnson and Green. In fact, in 2018, Star reported that over a decade prior, Green had been arrested after an argument between the then-couple escalated to the point of him smashing their car’s windows (via Daily Mail). What’s more, Johnson told “Smitty and Dee” that it was the toxicity that led to her ending the marriage. Even so, she never stopped loving Green despite his shady behavior. 

If you or someone you know is dealing with domestic abuse, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1−800−799−7233. You can also find more information, resources, and support at their website.
