Den Papieren zufolge habe Vext, der bürgerlich Tommy Cummings heißt, seine ehemalige Freundin mehrfach geschlagen, gewürgt und körperlich misshandelt.

„On January 1, 2020, Johns alleges, Vext ’struck [her] in the face… hard enough that [she] cut the inside of her lip and her nose and [her] lips were bleeding profusely.‘ She claims that Vext then took her to her home, ‚refused to leave her residence, then choked her as he verbally threatened to kill her.‘ Johns’ ‚lips were swollen and bruised for the next three days and she was forced to cancel all Client meetings as a result.“

[…] On February 29, Johns claims that as she was preparing for a photo shoot, she got into an argument with Vext, during which the singer threw water on her face — twice. When she ‚instinctively scratched [Vext] in self-defense,‘ he became angrier and ‚tackled her to the ground, put his hands around her neck, and choked her while slamming her head into the ground [for] ten to fifteen seconds,‘ nearly rendering her unconscious. Subsequently, Johns went to stay with her mother in Utah, ‚as she feared for her life, and missed a week’s worth of work appointments as a result.‘ This, according to Johns, marked the end of her romantic relationship with Vext.’

Nach mehreren Vorfällen habe Johns die Beziehung mit dem Bad Wolves-Sänger beendet. Er habe gedroht, sich etwas anzutun, wenn sie ihm nicht verzeihen könnte, sodass es zu erneuten Treffen kam, welche wiederum erneut eskalierten.

„On April 11, 2020, [Vext] asked [Johns] why they could not resume their dating relationship. [Johns] attempted to leave [Vext’s] residence but he blocked the door and stated he wanted to finish the conversation with her. [Vext] is 6’ 1” tall and approximately 260 pounds.

When [Johns] attempted to calm [Vext], he mentioned a male friend of [Johns’] and lunged at her. She fell off the couch where she was sitting as [Vext] began to choke her. [Johns] screamed as the windows were open and she hoped that the neighbors would hear her. [Vext] then grabbed [Johns] by the hair and dragged her into his bedroom where he placed her in a chokehold.“

Whitney Johns habe nach diesem Vorfall die Polizei informiert. Vext habe zu dem Zeitpunkt schon seinen Anwalt informiert. Wie Metalsucks weiterhin berichtet, habe Whitney Johns bereits im April eine einstweilige Verfügung gegen den Sänger erhoben, die zum Teil bewilligt wurde.
