Mary J. Blige and ex accused of leaving LA mansion with $58K in damages and missing assets
Mary J. Blige has been named in a lawsuit for $58,000 from an ex-landlord who claims she was delinquent in payment on a Beverly Hills mansion, and left the property with $16,000 damages and $30,000 in missing assets.
The 47-year-old entertainer and her now ex-husband, Martin 'Kendu' Isaacs began renting the property for $25,500 a month in May of 2015, the landlord, Golden Venus LLC., said in court docs filed in Los Angeles, according to The Blast.
The Runaway Love singer and Isaacs plunked down a $51,000 security deposit for the home, and sought to extend their lease in April 2016 for $27,000 monthly, according to the outlet.

The landlord said the then-couple went delinquent on their payment from August to November.
Blige and Isaacs did not pay an $85,050 tab that was due by August 5, 2016, the landlord said, leading to their departure from the property.
After they departed, Golden Venus LLC. told the court that there were holes in the walls, and the garage doors were broken, leading to damages totaling $16,058.78.
Audio entertainment worth in excess of $31,052.52 was missing from the home, the landlord said.

The Grammy-winning vocalist and Isaacs eventually settled on a deal in which they forfeited the $51,000 security deposit, and agreed to pay an additional $27,000, but did not make good on the payment, the landlord said.
Blige, who received an Oscar nomination for her role in Mudbound earlier this year, finalized her split from Isaacs in June after they had reached a confidential settlement three months before.
The duo, who tied the knot in 2003, separated in 2016 and had a contentious split marked by allegations of financial impropriety and infidelity aimed at Isaacs.
