Jarell Damonte Houston (also known as "J-Boog") has finally broken his silence about the nasty domestic violence allegations he is facing. The artist, formerly of the group B2K, has been arrested for "corporal punishment of a spouse," and outstanding traffic violations. In his statement, Houston had this to say:

"I wanted to reach out to my fans right away to clear up the allegations circulating the web. I did not get charged with any form of domestic violence against the mother of my children. I love and respect all of the women in my life and would never harm any of them. Domestic violence is a very serious matter and one that should be treated that way, however this was not a case of domestic abuse. I was taken into custody due to outstanding traffic violations. I took care of the situation, no charges were filed, and I was released Tuesday evening. Thank you to my fans who stood by me regardless of any circulating rumors. I am looking forward to a great year in 2010 for Fizz & Boog and hope that you will continue to support. Thank you." -Jarell "Boog" Houston
