MIKE EPPS’ TEENAGE DAUGHTER FILES POLICE REPORT

Another story that popped off over the weekend is comedian/actor Mike Epps and his current family problems. The 40 year-old got into a heated argument wit his 18 year-old daughter Bria Epps.

Bria, who Mike fathered during a previous relationship, told TMZ that the fight all started after Mike appeared on The Wendy Williams show and only shouted out two of his kids. She then called her father to “express her feelings” and that’s when the drama popped off.

“According to the police report, Mike flipped at the threat — claiming he’d “f**k her up” and “cause her and her mom and grandmother problems.” So, Bria filed the report. But sources close to Mike tell us, the tension started before the WW show — because Bria asked for Mike to give her lump sums of cash to pay for her college tuition. We’re told Mike refused, insisting on paying the school directly … and that’s when Bria snapped and made the threat. According to sources close to Mike, the Wendy Williams fight was secondary.” [ SOURCE: TMZ ]

Bria has officially filed a police report with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and Mike spoke to TMZ about the incident.

CHECK OUT THE AUDIO OF THE CALL BELOW *NSFW* & MIKE’S STATEMENT..

Here is what Mike said to TMZ on Saturday (March 3):

“It’s hard being a dad, especially a dad of a teenager. I love my daughter, but sometimes father and daughter have disagreements.” [ VIEW VIDEO ]

Sounds to me like she is too grown and there is obviously some underlying issues between the two of them. What’s your take?

      @WakeUp.. She is not acting like a teen. She’s acting like a spoiled selfigh Bitch. What teen do you know ask for oollege tuition to be paid to them personally in cash? Like she is some type of mobster. Who in the hell do she think she is making such a demand of a parent as if she is the adult goiing out stressing and making money.

      I gurantee you her bitter ass mother and grand mother had plenty to do with her mental condtioning to make such an demand and them file a report against someone who is financially sustaining your education.

      You don’t know what other financial obligations and worldly pressures that he is under or what made him snap. I’m sure tons of people are begging him for money then you get an ungrateful child, that you are supporting going against you while you are helping them will piss anybody off.

      Comedians are just that comdians. Theres no morality to be a goddam comedian dumabass.

    It is a little too soon…. there are more private ways to deal with a passing of a parent than on an Oprah show…. if it’s just to clear up matters about her death issue a statement
    what Bria Epps want to do with the money because he could pay my school directly anytime…

    It’s definitely too soon to for Bobbi Kris to talk about Whitney and Oprah knows that..she also knows her ratings are gonna go through the roof. Whitney ain’t even been gone a month yet. This child hasn’t even had time to deal with the loss of her mother and get her self together yet and here come Oprah wanting an interview to save her sinking network…smh.

    Why are yall defending Mike? Yes, that’s her “father” and she should be more respectful… BUT maybe her disrespect has a reason. Has he even been in her life? Clearly he hasn’t. If he had, perhaps she wouldn’t be as he claims she is. Perhaps if he would of stepped in and stepped up to be a true father in her life she wouldn’t feel as spiteful towards him. He was dead wrong talking to her like that. She has a reason to be upset for not being claimed.

    I didn’t know Mike Epps was that ignorant…

    I heard this Mike Epps audio online smdh…..my sympathies go out to the man. The spirit jumped on him and he called his daughter what she is, which is the devil. I have no idea why there is so much drama between him and her about her education. Based on her buffoonish actions and selfish behavior, she is clearly already being schooled by her mother and grandmother on how to “work the system”. If his daughter was doing this, and she had been the product of an interracial affair, I have little doubt that a good number of bitter black females would be on this thread claiming that he gets what he deserves for dealing with a non-black woman lol. Back to the topic though, I guess his genius of a daughter believes that by sabotaging his career, that will help her get her “tuition money” (a.k.a. shopping money for herself and the two previous generations of devils that put her up to this nonsense). This is one of the many ways that many of these black females chop off their nose to spite their face. This should be viewed as a cautionary tale for black men that pay attention.

      Black women do pass down some messy ways to their daughters. You would think the girls would be frilly and feminine but they pride themselves on being nasty and quick tongue and fighting more than womanhood and thats why most are undesireable, putting pride in the wrong things. But in these black hoods most have to conform to that black mess. White women pride themselves on being more feminine, soft, yet assertive without a nasty attitude and that attracts more men period, no matter what color. They dress up more, do their real hair, make up, into fitness and have a better attitude than most black american culturalized women. Even single white women raise their daughters to be nicer and softer than many black single women so being single is not it. Being poor aint it either becuse Africans immigrants dont act like American Black women unless they been here too long. It mostly the American black women that keep up this ratchedness. They hate other soft feminine black women until they give into peer pressure and begin acting like nappy headed thugs and then they cool or keeping it real when they stop being soft and girly and thats why black women keep black women single with this mess. So this child had no chance, a typical nappyheaded nasty attitude fighting black momma and a filty mouth so called hard black daddy. No wonder she is not worse with that kind of culturalized black american mess. Black men are learning new people skills from interacting with white women and other races and black women still last again and only less than half act like feminine women if they are not mixed race and exposed to another mentality. All this mess is learned behavior from being around the same kind of attitudes and behaviors day in and day out. Black kids adopted and raised by most whites dont act that way so its learned. The hood need to be burned down and black folk especially black american women dispersed into other races to learn how to act.

      a black woman like Stacy Dash will have tons of black women enemies instantly and have tons of white women friends. The sour evil black women will hate on her hard and claim this and tha about a black chic like that and say she not keeping it real which is an admission that black women are not soft and girly and if you act outside of that then you not keeping it real. But white women will have no problem with her type. Its balck women that beat down and keep other black women single from that same crap. The Stacy Dashes type black women have to hang with mostly men or gays or other like black women or live in California because country ghetto nappy headed chicken headed typical black wmen will try to beat the woman out of you until you one of them. Cockroaches. American black women the main ones.

    I don’t think its too soon for the Bobbi Kris interview. There are many things that are coming out about her mother. This interview may help help her with the healing process and clear up the misconceptions. I’m also sure she could use the money to help clear some of her mothers debt cause you know shes not doing the interview for free.

    Good for Krissy. All of these reports and tabloids..I dont blame her for corrrecting all of the hear say. The family trust Oprah because they know she is not going to go into attack mode, and that is everything. FOR US BY US. Who else Fox?

    Its sad how people on here going hard on Mike Epps daughter. I understand she was disrepectful but to call a child a bitch is uncalled for. It makes matters worse because he’s speaking to his daughter this way. This is why so many women end up with men that talk to them like crap and beat them, because that’s how they are treated in the home. I just can’t w/ some of these comments. Ask yourself, would you allow someone to speak to your child this way?

    I don’t agree with Mike calling his daughter out of her name or the way he spoke to her, but there is a lot more to this relationship than what we hear here. The manish little girl knew she was recording him, therefore she knew not to say anything crazy. However, she has obviously talked to him crazy before because he keeps saying that she is disrespectful and that he doesn’t know what possessed her to talk to him like that and yet we don’t hear what it is that she said. She makes sure to record once she’s gotten him to the breaking pointing because I’m sure she knows how to take him there and then suddenly we just hear the backlash of him going off. What got him to that point? Even in her responses to him, her nonchalant attitude even in trying to be sneaky with recording him are telling of her character. It’s much more to this than we hear though I do not agree with the way he spoke to her as we all had our mo ments maybe not as extreme as this but, I’m not buying her woe is me.

      I agree. Clearly, a loss of respect for each other is evident. Especially with the duaghter. The family unit and the institution of the individual family roles have sadly been in a decline. This is a sign of the times people, wake up!

    They were both wrong.
    My dad would NEVER speak to me like this and I would never even give him a reason to think about it. It’s obvious that Mike Epps shouldn’t be speaking to his daughter this way but his daughter obviously lost her mind too, I know she had to have been disrespectful and recording your dad and then releasing it to the public? Horrible. And if it is about college money then Mike is right to pay directly to the school. Obviously there’s some other issues though, my parents pay my tuition and trust me enough to give me the money to pay it myself.

    plz it wasn’t to soon for many of these tabloids/media to blast her mother Whitney Houston way before she was even buried. Especially CNN’s piers Morgan, TMZ, National Enquirer, Nancy Grace. I would have done the same thing and only trust Oprah With the interview since so many others news anchors choose to highlight only her drug abuse not her legacy. She just remembering her mother in a positive way instead of how all these Jokers in the media what us to remember her. Defend your mama Gurl!

    Know one on here knows how Bobbi Kristina feels. Only she knows if the time is right for this interview and not even Oprah could make her do it. I think she should address the all of the comments and rumors that have surfaced since Whitney passed and let this be her one and only interview.

    Wow!!! Really Mike??? Smh! This is no way to talk to your child! Regardless of what his daughter said or did, speaking to her in such a manner is beyond disrespectful! I would be devastated if my father ever spoke to me like that. I cant think of anything in this world that his daughter could have done to deserve to be cursed out like that! Pumps talk to their hoes better that that!! Smh! Mike needs to take an anger management class and get some special counseling ASAP!! UGHHHH!!!! Just when I was gonna allow him to leave his wife for me so we could start a family of our own he wants to pull this mess! Lol straight foolishness!!

    Is he sure she’s his daughter. Guess she looks like her momma. He shouldnt be cursing his child out and making threats, she probably thought he would do it with him having money and knowing black folk barely witness for each other. She did the right thing, tell it so if anything do happen they know who to go to.

    IT IS WHAT IT IS

    In my opinion it is clearly WAY 2 EARLY FOR Bobbi Chris to be interviewing with anyone about her mom but I guess its all about the $$$$$. I am sure Oprah broke some serious bread to them for this interview. So everyone is getting what they want Oprah is helping her failing network get ratings and Whitney family is cashing in BIG TIME. So I guess they are helping each other sort of. But yes this is way too early for someone as young as Bobbi to be in the camera talking about her mom I feel like she needs to be in therapy for a bit first and in rehab if the drug stories are true(which they are I believe) b4 she ends up like her mom no pun intended. But hey everybody is all about $$$ so this is just the beginning of the interviews to come they have just begum with the charades about Whitney way more to come for quite a while. I still can’t BELIEVE SHE IS DEAD RIP WHITNEY. Let continue to keep her family in PRAYER
