My thing is you should pretty much be appreciative that somebody's calling, right? So it may not be what it is, but somebody's calling because they're worried about you. A female officer gets here very fast for you and separates you. So, it's not that it's not that she's being petty. No, if it was Listen, I understand, but if it was about my safety and if I told her that he didn't touch me, >> what are you going to say here and still? >> Okay, but the thing is, but we also have dispatchers that are watching y'all on camera the entire time that he grabbed you and everything. Okay. >> He didn't though. Did he grab me >> on camera? Apparently, he did. I didn't watch the cameras. >> No, he didn't though. He didn't grab me. He threw us.

That's when I was like, "Hey, >> stop." And I went over there and I tried to, you know, stop them. Not in the middle of it by any means, but um >> I was like, I'm going to call the airport police. And the guy said, you just need to mind your business. >> Are you mobile? >> Did you um did you see anything else as far as physical? >> Uh not physical.

Okay. >> Um, did it appear in any Did you hear anything like she couldn't breathe like she was being strangled type of thing? >> Screaming profusely. That's why I went over there and I was like, I'm going to call the airport police and >> Yeah. >> Okay. All right. Did you run? Yeah. >> All right.

Has he ever been arrested for any domestic or >> No. >> Has it ever happened where he has put his hands on you before? >> Yes. But it's not here, so it doesn't matter. We don't live here to tell you guys, so it doesn't matter. >> Do y'all live together? >> Sadly. >> Well, the thing is, I mean, if if he is at the house putting his hands on you, I mean, especially being in front of your child, too. Do you have y'all ever had DCF involved? >> Yeah. I mean, when y'all aren't, do y'all argue and fight a lot or? >> Um, recently we have, but usually no. >> What does it normally boil down to? Like what what starts it? >> Um, well, >> the situation we're in now, >> I mean, okay, it's kind of like not nobody's business, but he [ __ ] my cousin. and then lied to me a month for months about it. So did she. >> Mhm. >> And then [ __ ] multiple other females in the time being and he wanted to clear his late last month about it.

That's just me though. >> So, >> are y'all just trying to make it work for Eli or >> Correct? >> That's understandable. >> But I wasn't resisting or doing anything. I told you there was nothing happened. She told you the same thing. So, you guys >> I was just asking you to go and sit over there. Actually, I wasn't asking. I was telling you so that I could separate the find out what happened to you.
