Rap-Up.com || Mario Arrested for Allegedly Attacking Mother

Mario made headlines this morning for his out-of-character behavior. According to TMZ, the 24-year-old R&B singer was arrested and released on $50,000 bond for 2nd degree assault following an altercation with his mother earlier this week at their shared apartment in Baltimore, Md.

Mario’s mother Shawntia Hardaway told police that her son had gone on a rampage, breaking a mirror, shattering a china cabinet, and putting a hole in the closet door. Following his outburst, Mario allegedly pushed his mother “eight feet into a living room wall, where [she] hit her head on the wall.”

Their mother-son relationship has a history of trouble. The “Dancing with the Stars” contestant confronted his mother’s heroin addiction by staging an intervention in 2007 on MTV’s documentary “I Won’t Love You to Death,” where he allowed cameras to film him trying to get her clean. “I want to give you the gift of life, like you gave me,” he told her.

I’m not saying it justifies what he did, but after years of trying his hardest to help his mother get clean, if she was back on drugs again, he might have snapped… & I almost don’t blame him…

Mario need to let his mother go as a man with a parent who’s a heavy addict i know this situation all too well he probably caught her getting high and threw out her stash and they started scuffuling addicts will say and do anything when the #1 thing in there life (drugs) is taken away from them

mario probably dont have the heart to let her go but it’s best…addicts like this will do you super dirty and not think twice

Don’t be so quick to judge. Domestic violence IS wrong but we don’t know what really caused this to happen, and what triggered the situation. His mother probably got back on the drugs and something she did probably got out of line to cause him to become angry. Like, Ive said before we don’t know the full details but hopefully everything will get better!

domestic violence is wrong, regardless of what “triggers” someone. if you have something that triggers you into touching someone, get yourself into therapy because you have serious issues. you cannot live your life hitting people and pushing people. thank god he doesn’t have children.

THIS REPORT ON MARIO SOUNDS LIKE HE JUST SNAPPED. YOU CAN ALWAYS CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS, BUT U CANT CHOOSE YOUR FAMILY. AND UNFORTUNATELY HIS MOTHER, SOMEONE HE LOOKS TO, HAS STEADILY BEEN ABUSING DRUGS. AND AS A WOMAN WHO SHARES THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM, I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW HURT AND ANGRY YOU FEEL WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE DESTROY THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF A SUBSTANCE!
