Ne-Yo’s wife, Crystal Renay Smith is accusing the actor of cheating. In an Instagram post, she wrote, “8 years. 8 years of lies and deception. 8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and my husband with numerous women who sell their bodies to him unprotected…every last one of them! To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is an understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t.” I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect I gained 3 beautiful children out of this but nothing else but wasted years and heartache. She went on to make a request of fans, “I ask that you all please stop sending me videos and information of him cheating because what he does is no longer my concern. I am not a victim. I’m choosing to stand tall with my head held high. If someone can’t love you the way you deserve then it’s up to you to love yourself. With no hate in my heart, I wish him nothing but the best.”

They have been married since 2016 and share three kids – sons Shaffer, 6, and Roman, 4, along with daughter Isabella, 13 months. They briefly split in early 2020 but reconciled a few months later. Ne-Yo is yet to respond to the accusations.
