#JusticeForThePettys has been a trending topic on Twitter since last night after an old video of Nicki Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty's accuser Jennifer Hough, resurfaced online.
In the clip, Hough, who had publicly reaffirmed that Kenneth Petty attempted to assault her when she was 16 years old sexually, is seen on the video saying the other way around.
Jennifer Hough's video has reaffirmed many Nicki Minaj fans' sentiment in clearing the rapper's husband of his wrongdoing despite the court's decision.
Jennifer Hough Old Video Says She's Pressured to Lie in Court
Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty have been the subject of an online trending topic, #JusticeForThePettys, since last night on Twitter.
Barbz is calling for social media to apologize to the two, who had been the subject of many attacks because of Petty's past as a convicted sex offender.
In her explosive revelations, Jennifer Hough, who filed and won a first-degree attempted sexual assault charge on Petty in 1995, confessed that she did try to recant her statements in court.
"I stood up and said, 'Your Honor, I'm the person who pressed the charges, I would like to drop the charges, I made a huge mistake," Hough said in the video, recalling what she said in court in front of Petty's family and friends.
However, it seemed like the judge did not bat an eye at her admission and instead asked her to take it to the District Attorney.
Elsewhere in the interviews, when asked if Hough was advised that if she recanted her statements, she would be put in jail, she said a swift no.
Hough also mentioned that she wrote a letter to the DA, possibly about the recantation, indicating that she was pressured to press charges against Petty, and she wanted to drop the charges and did not want him to go to jail.
But despite the telling letter, Hough said that the DA ignored it.
"Cause they didn't want you to court because you recanted your story. You told them it didn't happened, XYZ, you was young, you was pressured. Correct, right?," the person in the other line asks, and Jennifer Hough says yes.
Kenneth Petty was convicted in April 1995 and served until 1999. Last July, Kenneth was sentenced to probation, home detention, and penalty for failing to register as a sex offender when he moved from New York to California.
