Former ‘Love & Hip-Hop Star’ Benzino Arrested For Property Damage After “Jealous Rage”
Benzino found himself sitting in slammer last week after getting into an altercation with his ex-girl’s new man. According to TMZ, the reality star, who has been in an ongoing battle with the mother of his child, Althea Eaton for years, was arrested on Friday after confronting a guy who has been seeing his ex.

The new guy told cops that he and Althea had been going for a walk Friday morning in Braselton, GA when they came to his truck as saw Benzino. The cop said the 55-year-old “approached him in a threatening and harassing manner” adding that the man didn’t know Benzino or had any idea Althea was involved with someone else.
The guy tried getting into his 2018 Chevy Silverado but apparently, Benzino wasn’t having it. He allegedly hit the truck multiple times with his fist, leaving 2 dents in the driver’s side door, according to the police report obtained by the news site. However, Benzino has a completely different story…
Now, he claims he was in the area watching his son play tennis when “a male came up to him and told him he was going to shoot him.”
Although Benzino denied Benzino damaging the man’s vehicle, there were witnesses to back up the guy’s claims.
From there, Benzino was arrested and taken in on 1 count of criminal damage 2nd degree and 1 count of disorderly conduct, TMZ reports. He was taken to Gwinnett County Jail where his bail was set at $8,450, and he reportedly remains behind bars.
