Emanuel has been accused of being abusive by his daughter, Cheyenne, claiming her father has physically assaulted her. Now, Emanuel has a lawyer to defend him against his daughter’s abuse allegations. Following the release of the dog abuse video, his former castmate Donna Lombardi went to Instagram to call out Emanuel.

“If you can treat a dog like this, it shows how sick of a person you truly are,” Lombardi wrote in the Instagram caption box. “I don’t even get into the life of this man, but this video made me so upset. Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE animals. Especially dogs.”
“Even after he beat his daughter up, @vh1 @viacom_intl & the new black @blackinkcrew producers tried to protect Ceaser, even made up fake conflicting storylines about my relationship to do it! Now, this, cannot be undone,” she continued. “I pray the people see you, @ceaserblackink, as the monster you are. Your karma has been adding up for years, but to do this to two innocent dogs!?! This is crazy. CHARGES NEED TO BE PRESSED, and CANCELLATIONS NEED TO BE MADE! THE WORLD IS WATCHING! EVERYONE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! CANT CHANGE THIS NARRATIVE!”
