The daughter of 43-year-old Blackstreet singer Teddy Riley (http://kotaku.com/tag/teddyriley/) has been granted a temporary restraining order against her dad after he allegedly abused his two daughters with a Rock Band (http://kotaku.com/tag/rockband/) guitar.
See, Rock Band is all about bringing people together, not tearing families apart. According to documents filed in LA County Superior Court and reported by TMZ, Teddy's 18-year-old daughter Taja claims that he spent a major portion of December 23rd "stomping, punching, and bashing" she and her older sister. Taja stated that at one point the singer "lifted a Rock Band guitar and threatened to kill person(s) w/ it." I think we can all agree that's not how a Rock Band controller is supposed to be used.
Domestic violence is a terrible thing, and shouldn't be treated lightly, so I don't want to hear anyone in the comments section suggesting the singer should learn how to swing a real guitar instead of screwing around with a plastic one.
