Bad Wolves frontman Tommy Vext (Tommy Cummings) is due in court tomorrow, December 9th, on accusations from his former girlfriend of assault. He is being accused by fitness model and personal trainer Whitney Johns.
MetalSucks has a full report on documents obtained from the Superior Court of California that alleged Vext assaulted Johns multiple times during and after their relationship.
Among the accusations is that Vext cut her open after a shot to the face, she was once dragged by the hair, and choked nearly unconscious with her head slammed against the floor.
Johns alleges that in early January, Vext “struck [her] in the face… hard enough that [she] cut the inside of her lip and her nose and [her] lips were bleeding profusely.” She claims that Vext then took her to her home, “refused to leave her residence, then choked her as he verbally threatened to kill her.” Johns’ “lips were swollen and bruised for the next three days and she was forced to cancel all Client meetings as a result.” She claims he did it again two weeks later.
On February 29th, she claims she got into an argument with Vext that resulted in him tackling her to the ground, putting his hands around her neck and choking her, while slamming her head into the ground. She canceled all her appointments for the week and went to stay with her mother in Utah for fear of her life.
She ended her relationship with Vext, but then saw him again in April, when Vext said he wanted to kill himself and begged her to come to his place. According to the filing,
[Johns] attempted to leave [Vext’s] residence but he blocked the door and stated he wanted to finish the conversation with her. [Vext] is 6’ 1” tall and approximately 260 pounds.
“When [Johns] attempted to calm [Vext], he mentioned a male friend of [Johns’] and lunged at her. She fell off the couch where she was sitting as [Vext] began to choke her. [Johns] screamed as the windows were open and she hoped that the neighbors would hear her. [Vext] then grabbed [Johns] by the hair and dragged her into his bedroom where he placed her in a chokehold. [Johns] almost lost consciousness when [Vext] appeared to realize what he was doing and let her go. [Johns] quickly collected her belongings and left the residence. [Vext] left visible finger marks on [Johns’] neck, and bruises on her chin and neck. [Johns] suffered from swollen knots on her head and had neck pain for several days after the incident."
She called the police, but by the time they had arrived to Vext's residence, he had left. She filed a Emergency Protective Order on April 11th but was unable to serve Vext. She claims Vext has since made threats on her life.
MetalSucks writes that the court filing includes "time-stamped photographs of Johns’ injuries" as well as threatning emails from Vext. You can read more details about the story on MetalSucks. Vext did not respond to their requests for comment.
Update: Vext released an official statement saying “The allegations made against me by my former girlfriend are not true. Given the ongoing civil dispute between us, I am not at liberty to say any more at this time. I look forward to resolving this matter in court.”
