“We were both intoxicated that night,” Rapudo recalled how he beat up Amber Ray while drunk.

Last week, October 13, 2023, Amber Ray announced the end of her marriage to Kennedy Rapudo while hinting that she had been physically assaulted.

Amber Ray indicated that Rapudo had been violent to her for a while and she had just gotten sick tired of the toxic marriage.

“I have been in that environment for a while now, and my peace and safety have made it impossible for me to stay. The bruises and scars go beyond the physical, and for my own sake, I have to choose me,” Amber Ray wrote.

“Knowing too well about how society keeps its mouth shut on domestic violence, I won’t use my platform to sing the same song over and over again. I choose to lead with compassion, because in the end, it hurts. It hurts to have your trust shattered in ways you cannot express in words. But it hurts even more being a silent observer in your own life……” she added.

Rapudo on October 16, 2023, however, downplayed Amber Ray’s claim that she had endured domestic violence in their marriage for a while.

Amber Ray’s baby daddy claimed that he had only assaulted her once when they were both drunk.

Rapudo expressed regret for his action, stressing that it was one single isolated incident and that he has never advocated for domestic violence since he is raising two girls.

“There’s been so much activity concerning my marriage in the public domain these last couple of days. Like any other marriage, we’ve had our moments of ups and downs, and ours isn’t perfect either. Yes, we’ve separated over an event that happened while we were both intoxicated on the night of 13. It’s an event that should have never happened, and I feel very sorry and deeply regret that it happened, mostly to the person that I swore to protect and love with all that I had,” Rapudo wrote.

“What caught me by surprise is the manner in which the writer chose her words! ‘One single isolated’ incident doesn’t mean that I’m a violent person. I’ve never been and I never will be! I’m raising two beautiful girls, and I will never advocate for any domestic violence or Gender-Based Violence. I am man enough to admit when I’m on the wrong, and on this ‘1’ particular incident, I was on the wrong, but it doesn’t change who I am. To the mother of my beautiful daughter, I am deeply sorry and sincerely regret my action in that moment of weakness. XOXO,” Rapudo added.
