The volatile, long-running drama between Ray J and Princess Love reached a dangerous peak on Thanksgiving Day, resulting in Ray J’s arrest for making a criminal threat after he allegedly pulled a firearm during a heated, public argument broadcast live on Instagram. The incident, which unfolded around 4:00 a.m., reignited their bitter custody battle and exposed a toxic cycle of alleged cheating and trauma involving their children.

The Thanksgiving Firearm Incident

Ray J took to Instagram Live in the early hours of Thursday morning, visibly distraught. He accused Princess Love of being drunk and “messing with other men” while around their children. The confrontation escalated sharply when Ray J grabbed a firearm from a table and allegedly threatened Princess. Police were called to the scene, and Ray J was subsequently arrested and detained at the Los Angeles Police Department’s Van Nuys jail on charges of making a criminal threat. He was later released after his bail was set at $50,000.

Princess Love’s Counter-Allegations

Princess Love quickly clapped back, also taking to Instagram Live to dispute Ray J’s narrative and expose his own alleged misconduct, calling him a liar in all caps in the comments of a Shade Room post.

The most shocking revelation Princess made was her justification for being at Ray J’s home that day: she claims she insisted on being present with the children because the last time she left them alone with him, they found him “naked in a bed with a woman.” She accused him of infidelity and of failing to parent, stating: “I take my kids to school alone, I go to parent-teacher conferences alone, I put them to bed alone while you’re out here running around the world terrorizing women.” She explicitly urged him to “take yourself into rehab because you’re more than drunk.”

A History of Volatility

This is not the first time the police have been called to their home. The video details a long pattern of domestic strife, including:

• March 2025 Incident: Police were called to their home following an argument, resulting in Ray J being detained in handcuffs, though he was released after no crime was determined to have been committed.

• Daughter’s Call to Police: An earlier incident led to their then six-year-old daughter allegedly calling the police on Ray J after he physically attacked Princess in front of them. Princess confirmed this was one of the reasons she vowed to “save my videos for the judge.”

The escalating drama is directly feeding into their ongoing divorce and custody battle, with Princess demanding joint custody and spousal support. Ray J is scheduled to appear in court on December 19th for the criminal threat charge. Observers note that his volatile behavior, especially the alleged use of a firearm in front of his children, constitutes a significant trauma that the children will not forget.
