Mary J. Blige Dad Stabbed In The Neck, Woman Sentenced Today In Court! [Watch]

The 50-year-old woman named Cheryl White who 

stabbed legendary R&B songstress Mary J. Blige’s 

father has been sentenced to 365 days in prison. The 

two were reportedly in a relationship when things 

turned sour and violence ensued last January in Battle 

Field, Michigan.

After popping all of her ex’s tires, the women then 

proceeded to stab Blige’s father in the neck with a 

kitchen knife. However, 50-year-old Thomas Blige has 

dealt with a bunch of other domestic abuse 

encounters with White, with this being the latest 

addition to the saga. Luckily Blige is in stable condition 

and the injuries were not fatal. “She’ssssss 

goiinnnngggg doooowwwwwwwn *Mary J Voice.*

Cheryl White (pictured), who was arrested last 

January and charged with the stabbing of Thomas 

Blige, the Father of songstress Mary J. Blige, was 

handed down a sentence of 365 days in the Calhoun 

County, Mich., jail, according to the Detroit Free Press.

The 50-year-old woman, who was Blige’s girlfriend, 

has already served 270 days since being charged with 

assault with intent to commit great bodily harm and will 

reportedly be given credit toward her new sentence.

White and Blige had allegedly duked it out several 

times previously before police were summoned to their 

last domestic violence episode. When officers arrived 

on the scene, Blige reportedly told them how he 

witnessed White cutting his car tires, but when he tried 

to stop her, she fled. When Blige, however, caught up 

with White, she stabbed him with a kitchen knife.

As part of a plea deal last September, White chose not 

to contest the facts of the case and instead 

prosecutors agreed to a year’s jail sentence for her. In 

addition to being behind bars, White received five 

years’ probation and a restitution of $17,290 that she 

must fork over to Mary Jane Productions for nursing 

services that were paid by Blige’s famous daughter.

The judge who presided over White’s case mandated 

that she not have any contact with Blige during her 

probation period and follow through with her court-

ordered counseling and mental health services.
