Taraji P. Henson is
baring it all in her new memoir, Around The Way Girl, even detailing the
violent relationship she had with her first love who happens to also be
her son’s father.
According to People,
Taraji refers to her ex as Mark in the book and talks about how she met
him when she was 17 years old. She also says Mark had a hard time
battling with his insecurities.
“You’re better than me,” she remembers him saying to her one day. “You need to leave me alone.”
The relationship apparently became unhealthy after the birth of their
son Marcell, she would eventually leave him after she says Mark had
allegedly hit her during an argument over Mark’s late night disappearing
acts.
“The next thing I knew, Mark’s balled-up fist was coming straight for
my face. I fell onto the bed crying and holding my mouth; blood seeped
off my lips and across my teeth,” Henson writes. “Droplets splashed
across my shoes slowly creeping into the fibers of my suede boots.”
She goes on to say that after the hit her she yelled, “This is over!
Get your shit and get out!”Taraji! Ironically, Mark would go on and
father two other children before being killed just three weeks after
spending Christmas with Taraji and Marcell.
Taraji also talks about being pregnant while attending Howard
University and her rise to the top. The book is slated to drop on Oct.
11th.
