<p>Last week, we reported that Rihanna’s new boo L.A. Dodger Matt Kemp has a shady past. Apparently, the Chris Brown look-a-like has a few things in common with the pop star aside from dating his superstar ex-girlfriend of course. Rumor spread like wildfire that Matt was involved in a domestic violence dispute with ex-girlfriend actress Felisha Terrell in which a restraining order was filed against him; however Matt’s mouthpiece Dave Stewart tells E! that he’s nothing but a “Midwestern gentleman”. He says,</p><p>“Matt dated Felisha about two years ago and decided to end their relationship. She chose to file a complaint and shortly thereafter, on her own accord, decided to drop it based on the fact that the statements made within were false. She has very recently said that she has no issue whatsoever with Matt and that she and Matt consider this to be a nonissue. Adding, “Matt Kemp is a consummate Midwestern gentleman who has never displayed any act of violence towards a woman.”</p><p>“During the course of the relationship there was a restraining order filed by Felisha but it had nothing to do with domestic violence…to be clear, Matt was NEVER physically abusive to Felisha, nor did she fear for her life. The restraining order was subsequently vacated. They both have moved on separately but remain amicable.”</p><p>“Matt has never, would never, put his hands on a woman. His mother and grandmother are the most important people in his life. This rumor is more painful to him because of those relationships.”</p><p>Either way, RiRi and Matt’s relationship will soon bite the dust. In a few months the media will be saying, “Matt who?”.</p>
