Filed Under: Is it me or is Pep built like a dude?
On her second foray into the industry Sand y “Pepa” Denton is making sure she milks this 15 minutes for all it’s worth. In her new book, she has come forth and speaks honestly about her abusive relationships, her temper and her rise from poverty. Denton was once married to Naughty by Nature front man Treach (Anthony Criss). She also had a child with rapper Tyran (Tah-Tah) Moore, a rapper accused by 50 Cent of having a role in Fitty’s 2002 shooting. (Tah-Tah was never charged.) She tells the story of the most abuse relationships, that lasted for a decade, with a man she will only call “Brad” During one of their fights, she writes, “I had the hot iron in my hand and he had a hand ful of my hair. He grabbed the hand with the ironin it and was pushing [it] toward my face. … He ended up pressingthat hot iron against my other arm. I heard my flesh sizzling, and the smell was sickening. I started screaming from the pain. He dropped the iron and I turned to run, and his nail swiped across my eyeball and shredded my cornea.” The incident left her with deep scars and an eyepatch. On another occasion she writes they had another brawl at actor Omar Epps’ house, where, she says, “Brad” threw her through a glass coffee table and tried to push her down the stairs. Denton will be signing her book, which has an intro by Queen Latifah and an epilogue by Missy Elliott, today at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square. [source]
