Mary J Blige's father, Thomas Blige, is in critical condition after being stabbed by his ex-girlfriend. Police state that they were called to the Battle of Arbors Creek, an apartment complex, where they found Blige in his apartment with three stab wounds including one to the neck. The 63-year-old was transported to the Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo, Mich., where he is said to have undergone surgery. 

 

According to USA Today, Blige's former girlfriend was arrested on the charge of assault with intent to murder. She is expected to be arraigned on Friday.

 

This is not the first time cops have been called to Blige's residence. Police have handled seven domestic violence complaints involving the former couple, including an incident where Blige was reportedly hit over the head with a glass candlestick.

Update: Thomas Blige's ex-girlfriend has been identified as Cheryl Ann-White. White is being held on a $500,000 bond. She claims she acted in self-defense.
