Singer Ray J (legal name Willie Norwood Jr.) was spotted for the first time after his arrest early Thanksgiving morning. The 44‑year‑old left jail and immediately visited a bail bonds office to post his $50,000 bond.
What Happened
- Ray J was arrested by Los Angeles Police just after 4 a.m. on November 27, 2025, following a livestreamed altercation during which he allegedly pulled a gun and made threats.
- He was booked on a charge of “making a criminal threat.” Bail was set at $50,000.
- Later the same day, Ray J walked out of jail with his head down, flanked by his team. He reportedly went straight to a bail‑bonds office, posted the bail, then was seen outside — cigarette in hand — possibly regrouping after the chaotic events.
Context Behind the Arrest
- The arrest stems from an alleged domestic dispute and gun‑related threats involving his estranged wife Princess Love during a Thanksgiving Day livestream. The incident reportedly involved gun‑point threats and accusations from Princess Love that Ray had endangered their children.
- Police responded to a 911 call reporting the dispute and an armed individual. The singer was taken into custody without public comment.
Why This Matters
- This marks a widely publicized fall from grace for Ray J — once a mainstream R&B star; now facing serious legal issues that could impact his personal life, public image, and career prospects.
- The arrest and livestreamed confrontation—captured on video shortly before police arrival—have drawn public attention to domestic disputes involving celebrities, social‑media responsibility, and gun‑related legal consequences.
- Ray J’s quick bond posting and release show he remains free while the case plays out — but legal and reputational challenges are just beginning.
What to Watch Next
- Whether prosecutors file additional charges beyond the criminal‑threat allegation, especially given the livestreamed gun incident and claims from Princess Love.
- The scheduled court date (reports cite December 19), which will clarify charges, bail conditions, and any courtroom motions.
- Any public statements from Ray J, Princess Love, or their legal teams — and how this affects custody proceedings for their children.
- Potential fallout for Ray J’s business ventures, public image, and future in entertainment.
