Dy’Zetta Brown opens up on fight at Joshua Allen’s funeral

Brown claimed that the lady who grabbed her is Allen’s maternal aunt. She explained that his family was unhappy with her presence as she had taken out a restraining order against the dancer. Brown says she returned to her seat after the incident and went back to pay her respects once the family had done so.

She also accepted that there was a restraining order obtained by her, but denies that it was due to any dislike on her part.

“I had no control over that decision. I repeatedly told police I didn’t want Joshua in jail … I just wanted him to get help. But they said it was out of my hands. The system did what it wanted … not what was best for him,” Brown told TMZ.

She added that her boyfriend was suffering from mental health issues and she was trying to persuade him to seek help.
