Jeannie Mai has reportedly responded to Jeezy claiming she’s being a “gatekeeper” when it comes to him spending time with their 1-year-old daughter.
Radar Online initially made the report that Jeezy and Jeannie Mai agreed on a visitation schedule but things are not going as planned. The rapper’s lawyer reportedly wrote in the filing, “The lack of consistency, continuity, and stability inherently associated with such a haphazard and fluid parenting time schedule is stressful to the Child, and it has, as is unfortunately inevitable with all families in transition, created unnecessary tension and confusion regarding not only parenting time but also in regard to each parent’s role and rights when the Child is in their respective custody.”

Also in the filing, Jeezy reportedly stated he doesn’t believe Mai is “acting maliciously or with specific intent to harm” his relationship with their child, but he does feel she’s acting as a gatekeeper. Mai’s “interference with [Jeezy’s] relationship with the Child, again, while not generated from or with malicious intent, is nevertheless, causing confusion and tension between the parties and is working to stifle the development of [Jeezy’s] relationship with the Child,” his motion read.
He said, “As such, it is necessary at this point to separate, structure and clearly define the parties’ temporary legal and physical custody rights and set a parenting time schedule consistent with the best interests of the Child.”
In new documents obtained by TMZ, the news outlet reports that Mai isn’t being a gatekeeper but she’s more concerned about their child’s safety.
In the documents Mai reportedly stated that she has been allowing Jeezy to spend time with their daughter and she also has allowed him to have their daughter for an extended time since it’s the holidays. Her lawyer wrote a statement saying, “It is essential to clarify that Ms. Jenkins’ insistence on reasonable safety measures being put in place, such as safely securing and locking away all firearms that have been unsecured in the past, as well as having familiarity and properly trained caregivers is absolutely not gatekeeping, but rather a responsible effort to prioritize their daughter’s well-being.”

Her legal team adds, “These requests are grounded in Ms. Jenkins’ genuine concern for the parties’ daughter’s safety and security, especially when under the care of others and traveling across the country, and are reasonable protective measures, not an attempt to restrict Mr. Jenkins’ access to their daughter.”
