In recent news, Macy Gray's daughter, Aanisah Hinds, has filed for a restraining order against her brother, Tracy Melvin Hinds. According to legal documents obtained by Page Six, Aanisah alleges that Tracy threatened her and physically assaulted their famous mother.
Aanisah stated in the court filing that Tracy has a history of aggression whenever he consumes alcohol, and this incident occurred during one of his episodes. She claims that Tracy followed and harassed their mother after the altercation, as he typically does when he drinks. Aanisah's boyfriend, Cornel Pearson, attempted to intervene, but allegedly ended up being struck by Tracy in retaliation.
The altercation escalated further, with Tracy banging on the doors of their rooms, searching for confrontation while the family waited for the police to arrive. Aanisah even asserted that Tracy continued harassing them, even pushing her at one point.
Ultimately, the police advised Aanisah to file a restraining order due to the lack of video evidence of the incident. This incident occurred on Saturday, preceding the filing of the legal request.
Additionally, Aanisah expressed fear of her brother and her desire to prevent his access to her home, particularly because she is expecting her first child in September. She recounted Tracy's recurring behavior of becoming abusive whenever he consumes alcohol, emphasizing that this is a monthly occurrence.
Currently, Macy Gray's representatives have not responded to Page Six for comment regarding this matter. However, Aanisah's report gives some insight into how her mother feels, as it is noted that Gray wants Tracy removed from their lives and is willing to confirm this sentiment.
The Los Angeles Superior Court granted a temporary restraining order until the next court hearing, which is scheduled for February 27th.
Macy Gray, whose birth name is Natalie McIntyre, shares three children, Aanisah, Tracy, and Happy Hinds, with her ex-husband, Tracy Hinds. The couple was married for a brief period from 1996 to 1998.
In a previous interview with People magazine in February 2022, Gray expressed her astonishment when she discovered that her children were fans of her music. She recounted a moment in the car when one of her songs played, and her kids sang along, knowing every word. It appears that despite the current family situation, there was a time when they shared a mutual appreciation for her music.
