News broke yesterday that rapper Webbie had been arrested on charges of assault and robbery after the Louisiana emcee reportedly kicked a woman down a flight of stairs and took her money. Now, in a recent statement from the victim, new details emerge in the case that paint a different picture.

Speaking through her lawyer, it turns out that the woman had been involved in an 18-month relationship with Webbie. She indicated that the reports of the assault were greatly exaggerated by the media and has no plans on pursuing any such charges in a legal setting. Furthermore, she added that Webbie did not rob her, but had attempted to non-maliciously withhold funds he had given her to travel out of the state.

Check out the full statement below.

off and on, for more than 18 months. Though a rocky relationship, my client and Mr. Gradney spent 
the evening together after being separated briefly. The early morning assault is domestic related and 
should be treated as such.

While neither my client nor I condone acts of violence, especially domestic, we will not conspire

Both parties want nothing more than to move beyond this matter. It’s an unfortunate situation and my
client will, however, cooperate with officials as required by law.
