Yesterday Williams reneged on his admissions

Yesterday Williams reneged on his admissions

J. Williams is a successful R&B singer and hip hop dancer.

Last year his song I Got You featuring Scribe, reached platinum, and was the number one selling single in New Zealand for 2010.

His rise to fame has come at a price. After admitting abuse towards his former partner Larissa Brown, he recently resigned from his roles as the Rugby World Cup ambassador and the anti-smoking campaign.

But yesterday he reneged on his admissions and publicly claimed he didn't abuse his former partner and that his Larissa had trust issues.

Larissa Brown tells her story to reporter Mihingarangi Forbes.

J Williams dad was a hard man raising his kids and towards his mother so it was sad to see some of the negative things from his dad has rubbed off on him but he is a nice guy so I hope he can get his career back on track and treat women better in future. Larissa be strong and all that matters is you and your baby and God will always be there for you. All the best to the both of them.

i dont understand how you leo can be an inspiration for other woman??? im only 26yrs old and iv had 2 baby girls to a guy thats got similar traits as josh. i took 4yrs of emotional and hard core physical abuse,even while i was hapu, and tryed to hide it from friends and family..they all said i was sexy and he was hot and we suited each other. but no matter what anyone else said, i loved this dude. in other words i didnt hear the compliments because i was so indrenched in him that when he said nasty thinmgs i believed it..it canceled out every1 elses comps. im a strong, hot, and well opinionated young woman that decided although i love this guy, iv had enough! this guy i loved and still love was overly protective, stopped me from seeing my girlfriends, family even though i never seen it out my own eyes. leo your not breaking cycles unless you've had some kind of influence on his behaviour.all it sounds like to me is that he doesnt want you nymore but your going on telly to some how drag out whats already gone.(thats his love for you). your just as weak as he is AT THE MOMENT. i took so long to charge my ex and when i did i hated myself fo it.i still love him to the max but needed him to know that i was worth more than what he put his stamp on me as, and didnt want my kids to ask me in their later years why i let daddy do those crazy and mean things to me.. i dont ever want my kids to think its ok for a man to lay a hand, or strike them!!! im not saying be a mean bitch, and i dont mean to dis josh, but unless someone takes responsibility for the downgrading actions then you will always be the "not the same sexy leo" as he said you are. i hope you and bubs r ok and i wish you the best..peace

Leo you are a beautiful and strong woman for speaking up about the abuse received by J Williams. There is no excuse for what he did to you and as a role model for New Zealand he needs to face the consequences of his actions. For all the people that are putting Leo down for speaking publicly about this 'shame on you'! As a rolemodel of New Zealand J Williams needed fulfill that reputation of a rolemodel!! Which he didn't and is now suffering the consequences which should have been expected! I think that J William's actions were extremely cowardly. It is no suprise to me and typical New Zealand men to be abusive; in particular South Auckland dudes. I don't believe Leo is a gold digger for 5 dollars a week c'mon!! Leo is a model and earns her own income, so no need for J Williams pathetic income. It's not as if NZ rnb artists in NZ earn a ridiculous amount anyway. Good on you girl! Keep you head up and don't listen to the critics dissing you.
