Stevie J is standing by his wife Joseline Hernandez after claims of the reality starlet using heavy drugs prior to her brawl at the Love and Hip Hop reunion.

It was previously reported that Althea Hart, Benzino's partner, is taking Joseline to court over the brawl. In addition to the scratches, hair pulling, and punches she endured during the fight, Hart claims Joseline was smoking crack from a pipe backstage.

Stevie J reached out to TMZ to debunk the claims and says that his wife wasn't under the influences of any drugs. He also says that Joseline had no choice to unleash on the cast after Benzino reportedly punched her.

Benzino, who also spoke to TMZ doesn't confirm Stevie J's claims, but did acknowledge them in the following statement:

"It's clear that him and his whore jumped off the couch and attacked us and whatever happened from there was merely self-defense." he said.

Stevie J also says that Benzino was the one who started the entire fight.

Part 2 of the reunion will air on Labor Day on VH1.
