During a recent sit-down, Benzino opened up about injuries he says he suffered during an alleged altercation involving his ex, Althea Eaton, and her friend.
Last week, reports surfaced that Benzino was hospitalized after the incident. He claims Eaton’s friend, Diamond, struck him with her vehicle when he attempted to stop her from taking one of his children. Speaking with Real Lyfe Productions, Benzino said the situation left him seriously hurt and now facing surgery.
“I hit my head, twisted my neck up my back, f*cked my arm up because I’m gonna have to get surgery on my arm, on my shoulder, and possibly my elbow,” he said. “She made a big stink about him being in school. […] She kept him out of school in Miami. Couldn’t got kept back. I got him back in school. He’s been going to school six weeks.”
Benzino also described the moment he claims things escalated. He said he was waiting at his son’s bus stop when he allegedly saw the child being forced into Diamond’s vehicle.
“All I see is Zino getting thrown on the other side, take, take to the other side of the truck and was thrown in,” he recalled. “All I know is that I jumped on the car. I put my body on the car towards the back door. […] I think the window was open, so I put my hand in the door.”
“I just heard the car rev up and just go in and get it, took off. […] It flung me around, kind of fcked me up,” Benzino continued. “This poor kid, 10 years old, man. He’s a great kid. […] You put him through this. Awful btches. You did it in front of his whole class on the bus. You scared him, everybody.”
Diamond, however, is denying the accusation. During a livestream after news broke that the former Source figure had been hospitalized, she pushed back against his claims, saying he’s not telling the truth and that she was simply trying to assist a friend.
“Nobody hit you with no motherfcking car,” she said. “You’re weird as fck.”
