As reported by US Weekly, the accuser referred to as Jane Doe, claimed that she was called to his home in January 2023 to mediate an argument between him and his then-wife Wendy.

According to the accuser, her intention was to assist in “diffusing the situation”.

In court documents, the accuser, further claimed that however, events "escalated into a series of violent and threatening acts" carried out by Gaye which included verbal threats, physical assault of death and the retrieval of a firearm.

She alleged that the singer physically attacked her, pointed a gun at her and Wendy, and threatened to kill them.

He is being further accused of setting up "acts of intimidation", including tampering with her vehicle by cutting the brakes, and arranging for his associates to surveil her home.

The woman accused Gaye that she has suffered severe emotional distress including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, insomnia and weight loss.

She is asking the court for an undisclosed amount of damages.
