I say suspicious because Chet Hanks, architect of this cursed concept, dropped a single of the same name immediately after his ex, Kiana Parker, filed a $1 million lawsuit accusing him of physical and emotional abuse.
While the merch controversy was playing out, Hanks sued Parker for theft and assault. As all of this was unfolding — in the span of like three days — details also began to emerge about the relationship between Hanks and Parker, a Black woman. The pair reportedly began seeing one another in March 2019, but split in January 2021, when Parker got a restraining order against Hanks, alleging that he had repeatedly become violent with her during arguments.
In the lawsuit, Parker points specifically to two alleged incidents in October and December of last year. In the former, she says she was with Hanks in New Orleans when they started to fight. According to court documents, Hanks “grabbed Parker by her wrist and forcefully pulled her to himself,” using “a tight and painful grip” while “demand[ing] they go back to the [hotel] room.” Later, back at the hotel, Parker claims he “became aggressive and hostile.
