Bebe Winans Wife Talks About Assault

By Deborah Bennett, Senior Editor March 13, 2009 11:29 am

Debra Winans said her former husband BeBe Winans pushed her to the ground in front of their children. The two were married for 16 years before divorcing in 2003.

The alleged assault happened when BeBe Winans showed up at his ex-wife’s Nashville home and the two began arguing about custody issues. The couple have a 13-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son.  According to the affidavit, what started out as a “verbal altercation” turned into assault when Debra Winans was “pushed to the ground.”

“When you’re married to someone known all over the world it has serious challenges,” said Debra Winans.

Debra said people of faith are held to an even higher standard, and many Christians suffer through abuse rather than reaching out for help

    THIS IS A ONE SIDED STORY BECAUSE SHE HIT THE MAN AND THE MAN PUSHED HER. NOW DONOT GET ME WRONG I AM NOT SAYING THAT HE SHOULD HAVE SHOVED HER BUT YOU SEE THAT IS THE SAME THING WOMEN LOVE TO CREATE DRAMA. OKAY YOU ARE HAVING AN AGRUMENT ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND HE WANTS TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THE CHILDREN, TRY AND WORK SOMETHING OUT BUT NO MAYBE SOMETHING WAS SAID AND SHE DIDNOT LIKE IT SO SHE SLAPPED HIM AND HE PUSHED HER AND SHE FELL . THEY HAVE A SAYING SOFT ANSWER TURNS AWAY WRATH BUT GREVIOUS WORDS STIR UP ANGER. THE NEXT THING IS THAT HE IS PAYING HIS CHILD SUPPORT MONEY SO THE MAN WANTS TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIS CHILDREN SO WHAT GO TO YOUR LAWYER AND WORK IT OUT SO THE MAN CAN SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIS CHILDREN. SHE JUST HAD TO BE HOT HEADED. AT LEAST THE MAN IS THERE FOR HIS CHILDREN AND SHE NEEDS TO STOP FROM TRYING TO MAKE THE MAN LOOK BAD.

    There is no where in the Bible that Jesus Hit A Woman!! Let the facts come out first before we rush to judgement! Amen
    The problem is a man does not understand his role in life! A man must Sumit to God to have a understand of himself then he can understand others!! Watch the Bible!! 1st Corinthians chapter 7

    People of faith are human to. We as a people put them up there and we as a people can bring them down. Why is she trying to bring him down and tarnish his image. Mean spirited, that’s all. What are their 13 and 10 year old going to think. Sometime women can/will be their own worst enemy. “He pushed me down in front of my children”, well they are his children to. If you can’t get what you want them make him pay. That’s how some women think. Look at the music industry …….. this is not the first nor will it be the last. Just as BeBE said, the truth will come out in the end.

    Stay strong.

    Once again a black woman trying to make news, she should be ashamed just like that woman whom is with chris brown. Ladies please stop this you are making it worst on yourselves stop lying just because the court won’t give you the edge you want you you are using the rope to hang your own sevles My ex tried that on me and I recieved full custody and she got 6 months jail time for perjury oh and by the way I had a female black judge.

    From a man’s point of view, he should have never put his hands on her in the first place. Right now it seems like its a one-sided story. No one knows exactly what took place on that day. Now, she’s wrong for takin it this far. Its not a Chrihanna incident. He didnt beat the livin day lights out of her and left her face all bruised and blooded up. He just pushed her. Now she may have went to the extreme of fallin just cuz she felt she could get away with it. But look at her, she looks like a drama Queen. I wonder what did she do to make him push her? They have been married for 16 yrs and he never put his hands on her, so why now? BeBe Winans is a wonder person. His career and his image will not be damaged or destroyed. Its not even big on the news like Chris Brown’s hit story. LOL He will be just fine. I do have faith in God that he will make everything right! Its seems like when you have everything you need in God, the devil always try to steal it away… It aint workin though!! Keep your head up BeBe!!!

    I agree that domestic violence doesn’t happen overnight, I’m saying they were married for 16 years. She isn’t saying that he abused her during that time. She took advantage of current awareness around domestic violence due to Chris B.(Chris Beat’em) incident. Miss Debra knows that BeBe’s image would be very damaged by this. I’m sure she is getting some child support and alimony from him; by hurting his image/pockets she is really hurting herself. Sometimes as women we can be so dirty when we react to things in the heat of the moment and without thinking.

    What I don’t understand is, “why are some women so determined to keep their children father out of their life?” I can understand if the kids were being mistreated by their father but a man has as much right as a woman to be in their child(ren) live. One thing is for sure, abuse doesn’t happen over night and for her to say now that he is abusive, seems like a fabrication to help her case in the custody battle. The sad thing is that in all of this confusion and mess, the kids are the one that end up hurt. So before passing judgment let’s wait to see where this case ends up because no one can say for sure whether or not he ever hit or pushed her because we weren’t there. May God continue to watch over their kids and cover them from the media overplay as well as the negative comments of the public viewpoints.

    May God be with them all!!!

    THE bible tells us as christian how we suppose to carry ourselves when things like this get out of control..where peace doesnt abide dust your feet means to leave and wait un til we have better control,,no one is a winner but the one that keeps the peace and thats what god told us to do, be humble ,to love to be long suffering and keep peace,,and he will take care of the rest,just wait on him we have a problem letting Gods spirit guide us and lead us,,he will tell you to leave.. now is not the time,,if you wait i will make away for you..so we have to obey and then we want loose control..i gave mines to their father he brought them right back..so i kept the peace and i won..so thats just the way God works..

    Domestic violence is a horrible thing and it does not matter race, creed, rich or poor. I don’t know if BeBe meant to push her down because I was not there. But any way it goes,this is going to have an effect on their children and their relationship. i have learned that when you feel yourelf letting someone push your buttons, it is best if you can to walk away and deal with it another day.All of this craziness…Juanita Bynum,Rihanna and now this.I tell you God is not pleased and we as sisters have got to learn to evaluate situations before they get to the point of someone thinking they can just put their hands on you and treat you anykind of way.But a person will only doi to you what you allow them to.

    i don’t condomned abuse/domestic violence, but when i was married and much younger i talked to much. i almost got hit because the man couldn’t take anymore. it was like i could feel the wind change. i closed my mouth. the bible speaks so much about our tongues. they where married for 16 yrs. and no mention of any other abuse/she is not afraid of him…why not??? i not sure about being a victim, but i would think victims would be afraid of their abusers. i wonder is the report because of the custody battle. we will see

    i’m sorry to say ..it is the economy..the stress levels of oppression in our society and the anger which plays a part in our lifestyles where love is a 4 letter word..but…contains no solutions to problems we have no control of..but..it’s no excuse..to use it as a way to beat up on profit or humanity as a whole…shocked..winans has a reputation for being the best in gospel..everyone has this going on in their lives ..idf they say ..they don’t have it in their lives..their in denial..create.Sheila

    I do not condone ANY type of abuse against our or any women.. but if you’ve gone through it, survived it, and recovered from it.. why tell now? Seems a little oppotunistic to me…time will tell..

    There is three sides to a story, his, hers and the truth is in the middle. Let it play out before passing judgment

    No one is perfect. Its never right to put your hands on a woman. However, there is only one side of this story being told right now. And its definitely not right to pass judgment on anyone when only half of the facts are present.
