Macy Gray‘s daughter, Aanisah Hinds, has allegedly filed a restraining order against her brother, Tracy Melvin Hinds, who reportedly threatened to stab her and attack their famous mom.

In a legal filing obtained by Page Six, Aanisah claims that her brother started following and harassing her while intoxicated. Additionally, she stated her boyfriend, Cornel Peason, attempted to separate them during an argument, but Tracy allegedly assaulted him during the encounter. “We waited for the cops to come while he continued to bang on the doors of our rooms, looking for confrontation,” Aanisah explained.
After a dispute led to police intervention, Aanisah sought legal protection, citing an absence of video evidence to document the argument. Court filings reveal the altercation occurred on a Saturday, alleging recurrent abuse from Tracy whenever he consumes alcohol, which she claims happens about once a month. Macy Gray has not issued a statement regarding the allegations against her son.
Aanisah expressed concern for her safety, especially as she anticipates the birth of her first child in September, and requested in the legal documents that Tracy be barred from accessing her home. The situation sheds light on family dynamics, with Aanisah’s filing hinting at Gray’s stance, mentioning that her mother supports the decision to seek legal action against Tracy. The Los Angeles Superior Court has since issued a temporary restraining order against Tracy, with a follow-up hearing scheduled for February 27.
While Macy Gray’s career has garnered attention, her personal life has been largely kept private. Here’s what we know. Born Natalie McIntyre in Ohio, she grew up shy and musically inclined and briefly married fellow musician Tracy Hinds in 1996 and the couple welcomed three children – Aanisah, Tahmel, and Happy – before separating in 1998. She’s currently single and resides in Los Angeles with her two eldest children. Despite being in the spotlight, Gray maintains a certain level of privacy about her relationships and avoids publicly discussing them.
