Everybody, yes even Christians, have their breaking points when continually being kept away from their children. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I imagine that since Mr. Winans was at his ex-wife’s house arguing about custody, it had something to do with her playing the typical game that some ex-wives play. I’m not condoning anybody putting his or her hands on anyone else, but everyone has an ‘enough is enough’ breaking point. I know there have been plenty of times when my husband has had the desire to hit his ex-wife in the mouth (again, not condoning it…desire and actually following through are two totally different things). Women when your child(ren)’s fathers desire to be a part of their child(ren)’s lives, let them…geeze!

Grammy-winning gospel singer Bebe Winans was arrested and booked on a misdemeanor assault charge on March 11 for allegedly pushing his ex-wife Debra to the ground in front of their two children over Valentine’s Day weekend, according to NBC’s local WSMV in Nashville.

The purported assault took place during a visit by Winans to his former wife’s home in Nashville on February 13. The former couple was arguing over issues related to the custody of their 13-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son, when Winans, 46, became irate and pushed his ex-wife to the ground, according to the report.

“When you’re married to someone known all over the world it has serious challenges,” Debra Winans told NBC, adding that many Christians do not ask for help when faced with domestic abuse because they feel they should be held to a higher standard.

After being held for a short time at Davidson County Jail in Tennessee, Bebe Winans posted $1000 bond and was released, according to the website, The Smoking Gun.

Winans, who is a judge on the BET reality show “Sunday Best,” is best known for performing with his sister Cece.

Bebe and Debra Winans were married for 16 years before divorcing in 2003.
