Recording artist and judge on “The Voice,” Cee Lo Green is being investigated over charges of sexual battery that allegedly took place at a Los Angeles restaurant. Cee Lo is denying all charges and has told celebrity gossip site TMZ that he hasn’t been to the restaurant in months and that “Nothing ever happened there or anywhere else.” Police are currently interviewing employees but have yet to file any charges against the “Forget You” singer.
Unfortunately for Green, this is not his first run in with the law when it comes to abuse toward women. Cee Lo spent two days in jail back in 2001 after an arrest for threatening his wife and smashing their car windows.
It’s not all bad news for Cee Lo Green these days however. The singer, who took the world by storm with his band Gnarles Barkley with Danger Mouse, is so busy these days that he will be taking time off from his popular television series “The Voice” to pursue his many other projects. First up will be a new television show executive produced by Green and loosely based on the 38 year olds life. The series will air on NBC and be written by Ali Leroi who helped create “Everybody Hates Chris” and “Are We There Yet?” The show will follow a big music star, based on Green, as he tries to find a balance between his career and his home life. Green can now add a movie credit to his long list of accomplishments; the singer appeared in the recent film “Sparkle” playing the role of a soul musician named Blue.
Also in the works for the multi-talented artist, a Las Vegas show set to open sometime in 2013 and the creation of a new environmental education nonprofit organization called the GreenHouse Foundation that will be co-run by Green’s sister Shedonna Alexander.
