Black Ink Crew‘s Ceaser Emanuel has a lot of explaining to do. The soon to be former reality star is under investigation by the cops and by animal services for his alleged abuse of dogs, which was caught on film.
As previously reported, Ceaser was unceremoniously booted by VH1 from his reality TV show when footage of the tattoo shop owner and artist allegedly abusing dogs went viral. The incident occurred in Atlanta during the pandemic, and the authorities are looking for the receipts.
TMZ reports that Fulton County Animal Services are working with South Fulton PD to figure out exactly what was happening in Ceaser’s home. As seen in the reality show, Ceaser relocated to Atlanta amidst the pandemic.
However, Ceaser claims that the video shows him separating his dogs that were attacking each other. According to the Bronx native, it was all a setup thanks to a bitter ex-girlfriend.
Says TMZ:
Ceasar’s rep tells us the Fulton County police have already questioned Ceasar, and the rep claims cops found nothing wrong and that his dogs are safe, healthy and show no signs of abuse.
Further, Ceaser’s team claims it was an ex-girlfriend who reported him to cops, and leaked his surveillance video online … all for revenge because he broke up with her and cut her off financially.
The rep adds, “Although his actions were not appropriate at all, [Ceasar] is sincerely apologetic and feels extremely bad. He is dealing with death threats which is causing him fear and depression. His only goal was to build an empire to help build jobs and bring the black community in the tattoo industry successful given that the community is limited there.”
