This week the woman who welcomed two kids with Ne-Yo during his marriage and amid his divorce from Crystal Renay opened up online about their collective business.
Sade Bagnerise took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday (June 28). She revealed an alleged private apology to Crystal, detailed her family court case with Ne-Yo, and requested kindness and prayers on the singer’s behalf.
Sade’s paragraph-packed posts came alongside a post-birth collage video. The clip included shots of Ne-Yo holding one of their sons and posing alongside Sade. In the clip, she wrote, “This is the side I wish he’d show y’all more of…Be kind.”
Elsewhere on her IG Story, Sade wrote:
“I’ve privately apologized profusely to Crystal for my role and she is such a strong, beautiful, FORGIVING woman….but I spoke to a woman who was so confused and broken. BETRAYED & misunderstood. She is hurting and healing and as hard as he tries to play tough guy he know he’s hurting deep down inside too. He needs help (love, support). It takes a village.”
The former pair hasn’t responded to Sade’s online revelations. However, Ne-Yo recently lashed out at reports about their court case, initially published by Radar Online.
“Why is this a story? We had kids. We’re not together. Imma support my kids. Like any other baby daddy with any kind of care for the well-being of his kids. Y’all thirsty,” he wrote before name-dropping The Shade Room.
In May, the singer filed a motion to establish paternity of their sons and to have “joint legal and physical custody.” At the time, Sade Bagnerise responded by publishing a DNA test result that showed Shaffer C. Smith, the singer’s real name, is the biological father.
This week’s report by Radar says Sade agreed to “joint legal custody” after initially requesting “primary custody” of their sons, Brixton and Braiden. She also asked for “immediate monthly child support,” weekend visitation “every other weekend,” and alternate holidays. There was also a request for reimbursement for “medical, educational, extracurricular, insurance, or other expenses” for the boys.
Sade’s Instagram Story spill came after Ne-Yo’s comment section outburst.
Sade prefaced the details about their family court decisions by suggesting Ne-Yo’s feelings are hurt by reports on the case. She added that she doubts the singer’s “I don’t care” demeanor. As her posts continued, Bagnerise clarified Ne-Yo’s involvement with their sons.
“In fairness to him, IN THAT REGARD, he has ALWAYS bee physically, emotionally and FINANCIALLY responsible for both Braiden and Brixton from the moment he’s known about the first pregnancy,” she said. “He’s never denied or questioned either child, and we also have DNA tests for both.”
Bagnerise added:
“This man is and has always been a proud pappy. He be scandalous affff lmao but he does right by ALL his kids.”
In addition to two kids with Sade, Ne-Yo is also father to three children with Crystal and two with his ex-fiancée Monyetta Shaw. As for his children with Renay, the singer is forking over $12,000 in monthly child support, per a February divorce settlement.
Sade clarified on Wednesday that their court case isn’t “some nasty battle” due to money. She says Ne-Yo wanted legal rights to his sons so they could have his last name.
“Our financial and parenting plan is also being put in place ONLY FOR THE RECORD! Not bc we both don’t got sense. Healthy co-parenting is everything to us, and the common goal is to support and shower our kids with LOVE,” she wrote.
Amid clarifying their court case, Sade claimed she spilled online to “hold the first ever INTERNET INTERVENTION!!!”
She asked people to “be kind” and “find compassion” for the singer while alleging he’s going through “a midlife crisis.”
“…I genuinely wholeheartedly believe that he is going through a midlife crisis, and he won’t listen to the FEW OF US who keep trying to help him with accountability nad his addition (s),” she said.
She added that while everyone, including her, Crystal, Ne-Yo’s family, and associates, keeps pointing fingers at each other, the singer needs a cleansing.
Bagnerise blamed “the company [Ne-Yo] keeps” for his “demise and divorce”–though she also took some accountability for her part. She added that his surrounding associates are encouraging “erratic and embarrassing behavior” and a “risky promiscuous lifestyle.”
“Please send him some support and words of encouragement today. I know we like to laugh and tear each other down on here but also learn to recognize when ppl are breaking down right in front of your face. Ppl hide a lot behind a smile.”
