Teairra Mari is taking responsibility for her actions. The 23-year-old singer was arrested on Friday for driving under the influence after crashing her vehicle in Beverly Hills. In a statement released today, an embarrassed Mari admits to driving drunk and apologizes to those who were disappointed in her.
She was reportedly charged with DUI and assault of a police officer, the latter of which she denies. “I take full responsibility for my actions, but I absolutely did NOT ‘attack’ a Beverly Hills police officer and I’m very confused by those allegations,” she states.
The Division1 signee hopes the incident will serve as an example to those who drink and get behind the wheel. “I hope that this situation can save someone from making the dumb decision to drink and drive!” she adds.
Read her full statement below:
Let me start by saying that this is a very embarrassing moment for me, I know that I’ve disappointed so many people including myself. I take full responsibility for my actions, but I absolutely did NOT “attack” a Beverly Hills police officer and I’m very confused by those allegations. I did have drinks and I misjudged the situation by driving myself home. I want to apologize to those that I endangered that night and also to the people that I’ve let down. I hope that this situation can save someone from making the dumb decision to drink and drive!

Now an act officially signed to Sony Music, speculation surrounding the next Brandy album has reached fever pitch within her fan base in the last few days.
So it will serve to please these supports to learn that ‘Motivation‘ producer Rico Love has confirmed that the ‘Full Moon‘ entertainer has enlisted his help as well as that of Chris Brown’s to create a solid R&B driven sound for the project.
I’m excited about the records I’ve done with her so far. I think we need to make it classic, just the music that people love. I just believe in a strong melody and a strong concept, that’s what I’m going for, just classic R&B.
Expected to be released in coming months, Love also revealed that as well as Chris Brown, Frank Ocean has also signed on to help create music for what will be the singer’s 6th studio album.
