Funny man Mike Epps is currently under investigation after allegedly assaulting a young woman at the premiere of A Haunted House 2, late Thursday night.
After hitting the red carpet for A Haunted House 2 premiere last night, Epps, along with his wife Mechelle, hit the after party at Lucky Strike in Downtown L.A.
According to reports, a young woman, Simone Shepherd, who claims she was in a previous relationship with Epps, had a confrontation with his wife, resulting in Epps punching her in the face and demanding security escort her out of the club.
TMZ reports that “sources say the woman walked up on the Sparkle actor while he was with his wife (he asked security earlier for extra privacy). The woman apparently became hostile and threw at drink at them. Mike allegedly hit the woman and she promptly called the cops.”
Fortunately for Epps, authorities were unable to find any sign that Shepherd was assaulted.
Since Shepherd claims that she was previously in a romantic relationship with Epps, the case has been transferred to the domestic violence division.
As for Epps, he claims that he didn’t lay a finger on Shepherd and just wants to move forward from the incident.
