Mario Arrested For Allegedly Assaulting His Mother
R&B singer Mario was arrested early Friday morning and charged with second-degree assault after allegedly hitting his mother. His mom, Shawntia Hardaway, told Baltimore police that her son “started yelling at her and he used his hands and forearms and pushed her in the chest and shoulder area causing minor pain and discomfort,” and added that this was not the first time he had assaulted her.
The relationship between the butter-smooth “Ooh Baby” singer and his mother was previously explored in the 2007 MTV documentary, I Won’t Love You To Death: The Story Of Mario And His Mom, in which the performer confronts his mother’s heroin addiction. [MTV]
