Jill Scott wants you to know drunken episode was not about her divorce
Jill Scott says her drunken video that recently went viral this past weekend had nothing to do with her ongoing divorce.
Many fans expressed concern for the singer after she posted the video on Saturday, in which her eyes are glazed and she is seen slurring her words.
After already assuring fans she was fine the day after, Scott took to Instagram again on Wednesday to quell whispers that she was somehow on the deep end over her pending divorce.
“Ya’ll got to stop assuming EVERYTHING is about my divorce. Shit’s dumb. I’ve NEVER fit a box; no matter how big it is,” Scott wrote. “Let that thing go out cha mind because IT’S OUT OF MINE. #Bahleedat #heme???? Ok.”
A very bizarre video
In the video that went viral on Saturday the singer’s eyes are glazed and she’s heard slurring her words throughout. “It started off so good and then Fu Fe gave me some more to drink and I drank it,” Scott says. “Ooh, Saturday night.”
Naturally, the video caused quite the stir online with many users on Instagram expressing concern for the beloved singer. Some may also be concerned about her well-being since she’s currently engulfed in a bitter divorce.
“Just hope she has some genuine loving and supportive people in her corner. Love you @missjillscott hope you are fine, this is usually not you,” wrote one user, according to Atlanta Black Star.
“Stay off the Gram when you’re drunk Jill you’re too famous for this Cardi b shit you’re pulling,” said another.
On Sunday, Scott decided to clear the air on the drunken fiasco and posted an obligatory ‘morning after’ picture of herself. She also assured fans that she’s OK and that there’s no need to worry.
“The morning after. I’m blaming FU FE for another GREAT party. Relax sweethearts. I’m fine. Had too much of a great time,” the singer captioned along with crying emojis.
And there you have it, folks. Glad to know our girl Jill is doing just fine.
The divorce filing
Scott, 45, filed for divorce on Sept. 5 after only 14 months of marriage.
The singer cited “irreconcilable differences” and “inappropriate marital conduct that such further cohabitation would be unsafe and improper.”
At the time of the divorce filing, her estranged husband Mike Dobson called Scott an “evil woman.”
“I’m telling you. It’s like what Jill Scott wants, Jill Scott gets,” he said. “People are in her ear, and if someone comes in to challenge the dumb sh-t, they made me be the bad guy and that got me outta there.”
“She’s got issues,” Dobson added. “There’s no men in that family, there’s only women. And when a man comes in, it’s like a challenge. She’s made other men look bad, but I’m not the one. I said (to her) ‘you’ve met your match.’ She likes to have men that she can control. You’re not gonna control me. What’s right is right, and what’s wrong is wrong.”
