KINGSTON,
JAMAICA - After news broke yesterday that former
Miss Jamaica
Universe, Yendi Phillipps, has filed for full custody of her child
with dancehall entertainer, Chino, the artiste has hit back with allegations
that he has been prevented from seeing his child for several months.
CHINO AND YENDI |
In a statement sent to THE STAR Chino said Yendi's action
has left him in shock. "It is unfortunate that when relationships fail the
child is often used as a pawn ... I won't bash or give my opinions on the
matter, I will only share facts. Firstly, and most importantly, I have not been
able to see my daughter for almost five months," the deejay said.
The deejay further stated; "Calls and texts have
gone unanswered; suitcases of toys and clothing have remained unopened because
neither I nor my family have been able to gain access to my daughter. Secondly,
my attorneys have tried on numerous occasions to reach an amicable resolution
to the matter, particularly my visiting rights, all of which have been declined
by her."
Baffled
The deejay said that he is baffled, as most people are,
about this situation.
"Neither myself, nor my lawyer, nor any member of my
team has been provided with the documents people keep talking about. Everyone
definitely knows I am an extremely private person so I had hoped that in the
interest of the child the matter would have been handled with
sensitivity," he said.
Yesterday, The Gleaner's website broke the story that an
application was filed in the Supreme Court this week by the law firm
Nelson-Brown, Guy and Francis, in which Phillipps is asking the court to grant
her custody, care and control of the child. She is also seeking $60,000 per
month in maintenance.
Educational expenses
Phillipps is further asking the court to order Chino to
pay half of the child's medical and educational expenses.
As part of the custody arrangement, Phillipps is seeking
to ask the court to only grant the dancehall entertainer access to the child
twice during the week for three hours and once every weekend for seven hours.
She has been ordered to serve the application on the
defendant. No date has been set for the matter to be heard.
Yesterday evening, Phillipps posted on her Instagram page
a release accusing The Gleaner Company of leaking information about her pending
court proceedings stating that her privacy was invaded.
"It has come to my attention that without permission
or consultation with me or my legal representative private information was
leaked and an online article was uploaded by The Gleaner Jamaica in relation to
my matter pending before the court."
She went on to state, "I was not given the privilege
of privacy ... this is a pending legal matter which is before the court and as
such, I am not able to comment."
The former couple made headlines in 2012 after it was
revealed that the 2010 Miss Jamaica Universe winner was pregnant with the
artiste's child. In 2014, however, several media entities published stories
that the relationship was over.
