ASHANTI’S MOM TESTIFIES IN COURT AGAINST STALKER…
Earlier this month, we reported that R&B singer Ashanti was being stalked by a crazy and deranged man who resides in Indiana. Well, yesterday the singer’s momager Tina Douglas had her day in Manhattan Supreme Court with Devon Hurd, the man accused of harassing and sending threats to her family. Ashanti’s mom told jurors that she doesn’t have the slightest idea of how Hurd got her contact information, but did mention that managing Ashanti means dealing with a lot of people—which is too many contacts to just simply change her number. She explained to jurors,
“My job is to be her manager. But she’s my daughter, first.”
According to Tina, she tried to ignore him and even tried telling him to stop bothering her which eventually led her to curse him out on the phone. But that didn’t phase his crazy ass one bit, as he persisted and the situation eventually got ugly. This past summer while Ashanti played Dorothy in a revival of The Wiz at City Center, Hurd sent lewd text messages indicating he knew where Ashanti worked, her home, and her plans for the night. Apparently, Hurd began calling Ashanti in 2006 and according to MaMa Tina, the first year of messages were just annoying.
“He’d be going on about her music and Ashanti, and who she is and what’ she’s doing,” Tina Douglas told jurors. “It was just rhetoric and garbage. He wrote that ‘I want to f— her; I want to do this to her; I want to marry her; I might f—you.
