Music mogul Chris Lighty unfortunately passed away last week, in what cops ruled a suicide until further investigation. Reports surfaced after that he’d just gotten in a fight with his ex-wife Veronica, who’d filed for divorce from Chris in late 2011. There were also reports that he was currently in millions of dollars of debt to the IRS. Apparently, both reports aren’t completely true. We later found out that his debt was only a couple hundred thousand, chump change to the man that helped broker 50 Cent’s $100 million Vitamin Water deal, amongst SO many other things. Now Veronica has spoken out for the first time, and guess what…their divorce was OFF as of Father’s Day! So they were together! It’s seeming more and more unlikely it was the “suicide” the cops are claiming. See what Mrs. Lighty had to say to the NY Daily News below.

“My husband was too smart of a man. He was a genius. No smart man is going to leave his children for fighting with his wife. That makes absolutely no sense.

We had a passionate relationship. We fought all the time.

I had filed for divorce last year, but retracted it” two days before Father’s Day, she said. “That was my gift to him.

My husband was obsessed and adored me. He was one of the most beautiful people that I have ever met in my life.

Let him die proud, at peace because that’s what he needed and that’s what he wanted. He just wanted peace and he wanted to relieve all that stress.”
