Teairra Mari Releases Statement; Regrets Drunk-Driving

Published: Sunday 21st Aug 2011 by Sam

It’d been a hot minute since Teairra Mari made headlines, yet the R&B vixen did so this week for all the wrong reasons.

Following her widely-publicized arrest this week for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), the 23 year old has released an official statement.

Check out what Division 1‘s latest signee had to say after the jump…

Let me start by saying that this is a very embarrassing moment for me, I know that I’ve disappointed so many people including myself. I take full responsibility for my actions, but I absolutely did NOT “attack” a Beverly Hills police officer and I’m very confused by those allegations. I did have drinks and I misjudged the situation by driving myself home. I want to apologize to those that I endangered that night and also to the people that I’ve let down. I hope that this situation can save someone from making the dumb decision to drink and drive!

Teairra Mari

And there, folks, you have it…

    At least she released a statement clearing up about the ‘attacking’. Let this be a lesson for other artists.

    She must have been frustrated because her mix tapes ain’t selling worth a dime

    At least it was just drinking and I’m glad the attack rumours were false.It’s easy for someone to misjudge a situation and when someone drinks, then they may not feel weak and dizzy from the start, but it will finally take a toll on them.Maybe she had already got in the car when she started feeling the effects of drinking.

  17. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 21, 2011

    @DANCE Everyone that generalizes is ignorant.It seems that in your opinion, whoever listens to r n b music and not dance music is a hoodrat.Hell, you were insulting people who were listening to Kelly’s urban stuff and not the dance material and she was your fave.Go figure…Teairra has a lot of poorly constructed songs, but that’s because she is releasing mixtapes and not albums.Not everyone that likes r n b music is a hoodrat/ lives in the hood.Would you like anyone to say that WHOEVER listens to dance music is a party freak that only cares about drinking???NO, you wouldn’t.Because it’s a pointless generalization AND untrue.

    Whatever, did the deed so do the time.

    If she doesn’t matter then why did you come in here and post……..

    @ASAP
    Now you are the one who is generalizing me ……I LOVE ALL KINDS OF MUSIC AND I NEVER GENERALIZED PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO A CERTAIN STYLE OF MUSIC…..

    For your information, I don’t only listen to Dance music.

    Look at yourself in the mirror before calling insinuating me to be ignorant because you might as well be more ignorant than you think.

  23. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 21, 2011

    Seriously, that DANCE person has some obsession with ghetto and hood.If anything, this proves you’re just a hoodrat that tries to hide…Obsessions…Obsessions…Obsessions…

    @ASAP…..You must be unaware of the number of people drunk drivers have killed………

    THE MOST STUPID THING IS GIVING EXCUSES OVER STUPIDITY.

    You call yourself as sincere as possible but my friend, you are far away from reality.

    @ASAP

    Is that all you could come up with…….I am very proud of my origins and if I was a hoodrat, I would have screamed out loud with pride……but sorry honey,….I am not one

    There are many more relevant things I could be obsessed with and hoodrat culture ain’t one of them………sorry 🙁

  26. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 21, 2011

    I know exactly how many are killed but I know that they are far less than the people killed by any other factor.Teairra did something foolish and she could have killed someone.All I said to you is that you cannot churn the word ‘hoodrat’ in every r n b post.I don’t know why you brought the ‘killing’ argument up.It’s valid, but I never doubted that.

  27. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 21, 2011

    I am not a ‘hoodrat’ either but I can’t see why you have to bring hoodrats up everytime an r n b post is there.You are obsessed with bashing hoodrats and that’s not a good thing.You called ME a hoodrat for liking your ex-fave’s urban stuff, remember???I called ‘Commander’ a not-so-big-hit and suddenly you came at my neck calling me a hoodrat.Obsessed much??

    @ASAP Please change your name to (As Stupid as Possible)

    I do not bring the word “hoodrat” in every R&B post on TGJ……Here comes another generalization from you…..I love Beyonce, Mary J blige, Amerie and other female R&B singers ….so, stop accusing me of generalizing meanwhile you haven’t taken a look at the mirror to actually realize that you are the instigator.

  29. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 21, 2011

    “As Stupid As Possible”.DEAD!!!!Guess who would say that???A HOODRAT!Someone has been unveiled…Oops!

    Anyway, I don’t need to go look at the mirror (that’s another hoodrat argument of yours right there), all I need to look at is your comments.All I said was that you need to stop calling people ‘hoodrats’ all the time and you wanted to take it that far.Interesting.At least you are giving comments to the Teairra post; comments on the post of a person that you call a hoodrat and a stupid fool…

  30. Dance August 21, 2011

    I won’t even waste my precious time with mentally challenged IQs………..Keep it moving

  31. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 21, 2011

    LOL.Hoodrat statement again.I’m out of here.Too tiring to talk to people with obsessions…Sigh…

    JOKES FOR DAYS!

    Are you really that stupid? Where do you get off making a statement like that?

    I have never lived in the “hood” (We don’t even use that US American terminology in the Bahamas) but what I can tell you is that I would be able to walk in and out in one piece.

    Keep flipping that hair though!

    You might wanna ask yourself if you are really stupid because nowhere did I mention that you were from the hood nor lived in the hood…….

    If reading comprehension is a task for you, then you might wanna stop trying to act smart and read twice before making yourself look foolish.

    @Dance

    Trying to act smart? LOL. Not all 17 year olds are stupid.

    I assumed you were implying that I would know those facts based on a preconceived notion that someone (that someone who I thought you meant to be me) from the hood would know the in and outs of a mix tape, whilst others of your “status” would not. The flips hair part is what got me.That said, I apologize for my assumption. As far as reading comprehension goes, that is a simple task not a challenge. So I’ll make sure I don’t read too far into it next time.
