Singer Kehlani was granted a temporary restraining order against their ex Javaughn Young-White Friday after they accused him of physical, verbal and emotional abuse.

The “After Hours” singer, using she/they pronouns, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last week to protect themselves and their daughter, Adeya, from Young-White’s erratic behavior, Page Six reports.

In their filing, they reported years of abuse from Young-White, including during their pregnancy. 

They decided to seek a restraining order after he allegedly became “enraged” and “smashed through [their] locked bedroom doors” in mid-June.

Kehlani, 29, said Young-White called them a “bitch” and “liar” and accused them of trapping him by having their child.

They claimed their ex became furious after they learned he had applied for public assistance and asked him about it. At the time, he was allegedly living on their property and doing nothing but “smoking marijuana every day and all day” as well as taking psychedelics.

In their filing, Kehlani also accused Young-White of disappearing for months at a time and lacking “personal hygiene and self-care.”

“If he has our daughter in his care, she is returned filthy and reeking of marijuana,” they complained.

Further describing his alleged turbulent behavior, Kehlani wrote, “He is not emotionally well and appears to suffer from periods of despair and often tirades of uncontrollable anger and rage.”

“When he is agitated, he cannot stop moving and throws his arms in the air while yelling and screaming at me, often throwing items and calling me horrible names.”

The two-time Grammy nominee said his behavior “scares” them and “can imagine it is very upsetting to a small child.”

They said they only allowed him to stay on their property at times because he continuously “promised to be a better parent” and they wanted to try their best to allow him to have a relationship with their child.

However, after five years of “chaos and abuse,” they no longer believe he can change and wants to protect their peace as well as Adeya’s.

The restraining order expires at the end of a Sept. 3 hearing, which will take place at 8:30 a.m.

Kehlani’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment. Young-White, however, responded to the abuse claims by sharing alleged text messages from Kehlani on social media that seemingly show they were begging him to call them in June.

He further wrote, “she busted through her own door and is framing her abuse as mine.”
