Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty’s Sexual Assault Victim Speaks Out, Claiming A $20,000 Bounty Was Placed On Her Head
Nick Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty sexual assault victim Jenifer Hough has spoken out during a recent interview. On Wednesday, Hough was an guest on the talk show The Real for her first televised interview about the traumatic experience along with the harassment lawsuit she launched against Minaj and her husband. Hough sitting next to her lawyer, Tyrone A. Blackburn, Hough says she was “tired of being afraid.”
“I feel like the actions that were taken in regards to this whole situation put me in a different type of fear at my age, and it was wrong,” Hough said. “The only way not to be afraid is to continue to speak up.”
Petty was convicted of the 1994 assault in April of 1995, according to New York’s sex offender’s registry.
In the interview Hough said how she had been contacted to get the charges removed in the past couple of years. Hough said an associate of the couple came to her house and gave her $20,000 but after she refused the money she was allegedly told she “should’ve taken the money because they are going to put that money on my head.”
As the couple marriage became public, the case resurfaced on social media and the rapper seemed to downplay the assault saying her husband was dating Hough at the time. When she was asked about how Nicki commented on her sexual assault case, Hough said she felt hurt.
“It was like reliving it again because it was a lie, it wasn’t true, we both were 16, we never in a relationship. I just felt woman to woman that was wrong of (Minaj),” Hough said.
