Kendu Isaacs Accused of Verbally Abusing Mary J Blige

As we reported earlier, Mary J. Blige is in the process of divorcing Kendu Isaacs. Kendu, who used to be Mary J. Blige’s manager, is asking for an exorbitant amount of alimony.

It was also reported that Kendu stole almost $500,000 from Mary to spend on his hew girlfriend. Now it’s being released that his girlfriend is a singer that Mary J. Blige took under her wing. According to Page Six, the woman may have been involved with Kendu for some time well before the divorce.

It’s also being alleged that cheating wasn’t the only issue. Insiders are accusing Kendu of being verbally abusive to Mary.

Page Six writes:

Sources told Page Six that Isaacs cheated on Blige with Starshell, 28, an up-and-coming artist Blige signed to her Matriarch Entertainment record label.

“Everyone knew. Mary was the last to know, but it’s like, how do you not know?” a source told us.

Another source added, “It was more like one of those things where you end up believing what you want to believe. But Mary had her suspicions.” Blige, 46, often brought Starshell to red carpets, events and TV appearances to build the burgeoning artist’s profile.

“It’s really f – – ked up and low to have it done to her that way. Had it not been for Mary signing her, investing time and money . . . Because no one cared about her music,” the first source said.

Blige claims Isaacs spent more than $420,000 on his girlfriend in court papers, but didn’t mention her name. Blige and Issacs, 48, were married for nearly 13 years before she filed for divorce, and insiders buzzed about his relationship with Starshell throughout most of their marriage. “You’d see them out in the studio together, having dinner without Mary. And then Mary would be at events with her, and it was awkward because it was obvious they were sleeping together.”

Insiders also told us Isaacs was verbally abusive to Blige. “He was verbally controlling. He’d say the most negative s – – t to her five minutes before she’d hit the stage.”
