Here’s what Anthony said about the alleged attack
In a TikTok video shared by TSR, Anthony Gaskin claimed he was walking into his apartment when Alexis Skyy allegedly walked in “walking out” behind him. He said she brought two other people with her and started attacking him.
Anthony reveals that when he tried to walk away, Alexis punched him in the face, then another girl hit him and a guy kicked him in the ribs, leaving him with a “fractured rib.” In the video, he even pulls his mouth to show how they allegedly knocked out one of his teeth. Anthony keeps saying he’s scared and Alexis keeps making threats against him.
“Physically attacking me is unnecessary. I’ve been attacked. I was (hurt). And it really bothered me, guys, I just can’t do this,” says Anthony while holding back tears.
Anthony also posted several photos on Instagram revealing his two bruised black eyes and a scratch above his eyebrow. In the caption, he criticized Alexis Skyy for pretending to be family and insisted that now that she allegedly assaulted him, it’s time to put an end to it. He emphasized that his fight for justice has only just begun.
“The images you are seeing of myself are just the beginning. I was emotionally disturbed and physically beaten… when a person loves money and fame more than their own child, they hang out with random strangers in Atl and don’t tend either… I had to stop and think if she doesn’t give a shit about who cares for her child, how could she care about me, this story has twists and turns but the fight for justice has just begun, being attacked and assaulted is not okay and lying about your sexual health is not just a scam, it is very offensive and very hurtful, especially when these things are not true,” Anthony wrote.
Furthermore, Anthony stated that he is ready to defend himself and will not accept excuses for the physical attack. He also mentioned that the incident affected his self-esteem and confidence in genuine friendships.
“I am prepared to defend myself and not accept an answer, I am sorry because the verbal abuse went on for a long time and now being physically attacked has not only affected me and my business… my self-esteem has fallen and faith in good friendships and solid went away… I’m standing up for other gays in the industry who did it and for us to be mistreated, in the words of Whitney Houston, it’s not okay and it’s not okay! #fight4whatright”

During the conversation with TSR, Alexis did not provide details about what led to the alleged assault. However, she mentioned that Anthony continues to raise her daughter and suggested that he has mental health issues.
“He’s sitting there playing the victim, as if he has real mental health issues. He needs to keep his mouth shut. He is a complete man, gay or not. He hit me in the face in front of my son,” said Alexis. “Everyone in the industry knows he talks non-stop and I was the only one who even gave him a chance.”
Skyy shared that the fight left her with “bleeding fingernails,” and she recalled how he threw air freshener in her face before putting his hands on her. She also mentioned that she chose to defend herself by “hitting him with a frying pan.”
Additionally, the ‘Love and Hip Hop’ star revealed that Anthony Gaskin was her assistant and signed an NDA. The ‘Love and Hip Hop’ star said she plans to take legal action against Anthony for breaking the agreement.
Anthony hits back at Alexis
Anthony kept the shade on his Instagram Story, calling out Alexis for her so-called spirituality. He clarified that he never criticized her daughter, Alaiya Grace, but thought about her parenting.
“Alexis Skyy got her hands on the wrong 1,” Anthony wrote on his IG Story. “Nothing negative was said about layman! I love her son. Did I mention her paternity! Everyone knows she’s lacking when it comes to being a mother. I was trying to support her.”
Anthony also joined The Shade Room’s comments section to share his thoughts on Alexis’ past stance on supporting Donald Trump. He left a comment on a video shared by TSR featuring an interview she gave to KISS 104.1.
“I’m telling you this is why, as her best friend, I distanced myself from her! She will simply do anything for money, including leaving her child with strangers,” Anthony wrote.
Roommates, if you recall, Alexis claimed to be voting for Trump as he runs in the 2024 presidential election. However, shortly after she walked back the claims after learning about his plans for the Department of Education. She shared a post on her IG confirming that the radio interview was done before she learned of DOE’s plans and that she decided to do some research to find out more about it.
“The interview I did about the vote was done before Trump’s statement about the Department of Education. Initially, I wanted to vote for Trump for personal reasons. After familiarizing myself with both candidates, I will no longer vote for him,” Alexis wrote on her IG Story.
