Keke Wyatt’s representatives are disputing reports about the charges following her September 20 arrest in Henry County, Georgia. CBS News Atlanta reported that county booking information under Wyatt’s legal name listed aggravated assault, terroristic threats and acts, and third-degree cruelty to children. TMZ, citing a sheriff’s office representative, reported that Wyatt was released September 22 after posting a $1,050 bond.

In a statement posted to Wyatt’s Instagram account, her representatives said the court documentation reflects one charge: simple assault. They denied that she was charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats and acts, or cruelty to children. The statement did not include the court document it referenced or explain why it differs from the booking information described by CBS and Complex.

The available accounts therefore remain in conflict. Authorities have not publicly described what allegedly led to the arrest, and a booking entry is not a finding of guilt. Wyatt’s representatives said she will address the matter through the legal process and that her performance schedule remains unchanged.

CBS News Atlanta reported reviewing Henry County booking information and published Wyatt’s representatives’ conflicting statement. The Black Angle did not independently obtain the booking entry or the court document her team referenced, so the unresolved difference is stated explicitly and no allegation is presented as proven.
