Mary J. Blige’s father, Thomas Blige, is in critical condition following a domestic dispute with his estranged girlfriend. According to reports, the incident occurred in Battle Creek, Mich., where Thomas suffered from three stab wounds, including one severe stab wound to his neck.


USA Today reports: “The father of R&B singer Mary J. Blige was critically injured Thursday morning on this city’s south side, stabbed in the neck in what police said was a domestic dispute with his former girlfriend.”


“Thomas Blige, 63, remained in critical condition Thursday afternoon, Battle Creek police said. Police arrested his former girlfriend on a charge of assault with intent to murder.

“He was taken to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo, Mich., where he underwent surgery. The hospital said Thursday afternoon it had no information on his condition.”


Authorities say that when officers went to the former girlfriend’s nearby apartment at the Arbors she was found in blood-spattered clothing and was quickly taken into custody and placed in the Calhoun County Jail. She will be arraigned this morning.

According to local police, this brutal attack is just one of seven domestic violence disputes reported between Blige and his 50-year-old former girlfriend since August.
