Pryor, Briston altercation details revealed in court docs

According to a TMZ report, they obtained court documents regarding the altercation which led to Pryor being stabbed. Allegedly, the fighting started as Pryor and Briston went out for dinner and drinks with some friends.

Per TMZ, the court documents indicate that Briston left for the club with her friends and Pryor went home. However, when Briston and her friends returned to the house later, an angry Pryor was said to be waiting in a hallway.

According to a female witness who was a friend of Briston’s, Pryor knocked her (the friend) to the ground. After that, the witness said Pryor and Briston “locked up” and “began to tussle” with the fight going farther into the apartment, including the kitchen. The witness said the next thing she saw was Pryor holding his chest and bleeding.

From there, Briston and her three female friends brought Pryor to the hospital for emergency medical treatment. It was during that time that an officer overheard the female witness voice texting into her watch saying, “She was just defending herself and had to do it.”

That’s also when the witness said, “The only reason I’m here was to make sure that he didn’t die,” and “We should have just let him die.”

In a report from Heavy, they indicate that Shalaya Briston sustained “a bruise on her nose and two broken fake nails.” Pryor went to the hospital in critical condition after being stabbed in the chest and shoulder. He underwent surgery and was expected to survive the attack.

Another tweet from WPXI reporter Amy Hudak indicated that Pryor and Briston had a “very volatile relationship” and Pryor “always had his hands all over her.”
