Jazmine Sullivan recalls chilling details of past abusive relationship on Instagram

Singer Jazmine Sullivan turned to Instagram to open up about her past abusive relationship...

Jazmine Sullivan opened up last winter about a previous relationship in which she suffered under an abusive ex. Now, she has taken to Instagram to tell another story about her past, this time about how she once used the department store Pier 1 as a place refuge.

“I have an interesting story [about] Pier1. The last time I was in this store was during my abusive relationship [with] my ex 3-4 years ago. I used to come and walk around this store for hours just to get away from him and the house. I would cry in here,” she shared on Instagram.

“The workers never bothered me. I guess they could tell a sad girl when they saw her. But today I was joyful, laughing and feeling the love from my bestfraan. So I’d like to take the time to thank God for who and where I am today. Walking around this store [with] this happy attitude today may be small to anyone else, but I know fromwhere God brought me. So I just wanted to share. Take a minute and thank God that ur not where u used to be!!!”

Previously, Sullivan had said during a concert in New York that she had taken a break from the music industry because of that same relationship.

“It got to be abusive. And I stayed in the relationship because I loved him. Love can make you do some really crazy things,” she said. “It can make you accept some really, really crazy things. And I thought I was doing what was right. I was trying to stay and be the down chick. Ride for my man: ‘He gon’ get it together! He ain’t gon’ do it again, ya’ll.’ But I had to realize that I had to love myself more than I loved him. Because real love doesn’t do that.”
