Rapper Real Boston Richey has been hit with felony charges following serious allegations of domestic violence against his pregnant girlfriend, Tatiana Chanell. According to documents obtained by The Neighborhood Talk, Chanell claims that Richey choked her at least 20 times during an incident that occurred on March 30 at the Houston nightclub Sekai.
The incident reportedly escalated after a viral video surfaced showing Richey forcibly taking Chanell’s phone. In her newly filed charges, Chanell describes a harrowing situation where Richey allegedly forced her into the back of a vehicle and choked her repeatedly over a two-hour period, all while being aware that she was approximately two months pregnant. She claims that the choking was so severe it caused her to lose consciousness multiple times and stop breathing at intervals, leading to vomiting. The assault reportedly continued until a mutual friend intervened.
These allegations come after previous controversies surrounding Richey’s relationship with Chanell, particularly regarding her age. Last year, Richey faced accusations of being a pedophile when rumors circulated that Chanell had only recently turned 18. Richey defended himself in a livestream, claiming that she was actually 23, though he provided no proof to support his statement.
Despite the backlash, Chanell celebrated her 18th birthday with a lingerie shoot that included a cake adorned with the word “legal,” suggesting the controversy around their relationship had merit. Chanell’s mother also publicly defended the relationship on social media, criticizing those who questioned it and asserting that outsiders were uninformed about their lives.
As the legal situation develops, Real Boston Richey’s future in the music industry remains uncertain, particularly as he faces serious allegations that could have significant repercussions. The gravity of the charges against him highlights ongoing concerns about domestic violence and the responsibilities of public figures in their personal relationships. As the hip-hop community watches closely, Richey’s next steps will be critical in determining his career trajectory amid these serious claims.
