Roody Roodboy and Rutshelle Guillaume’s once celebrated relationship has turned into a public controversy that has caught the attention of many within and outside the Haitian music industry. The couple, initially admired and even graced the cover of Ticket Magazine, saw their personal issues exposed, involving accusations of infidelity and domestic violence.
The trouble began when Rutshelle was accused of cheating, leading to heated confrontations that culminated in an explosive breakup. Rumors circulated after Rutshelle’s angry audio clip was leaked, where she denied the allegations and insisted that she and Roody were still together. However, Roody later confirmed their separation in a public statement, which intensified the scandal.
The situation took a more severe turn when photos surfaced of Rutshelle with a bruised face and bloodshot eye, which she allegedly sent to media outlets, accusing Roody of attacking her in a jealous rage. Roody, in response, not only denied the allegations but claimed that Trouble Boy, a mutual acquaintance, had played a role in releasing the images.
In a shocking twist, Roody further accused Rutshelle of having an affair with Trouble Boy, citing conversations he allegedly found on her phone. He threatened to expose more details and eventually released a song titled Pran Swen Li—which featured a voicemail from Trouble Boy—further humiliating Rutshelle. Despite releasing a public apology, it lacked sincerity, as it seemed more focused on embarrassing her further.
Rutshelle, meanwhile, remained mostly silent, posting pictures of herself in the studio, seemingly unbothered. She later spoke out, claiming that Roody had cheated on her multiple times and that she had seen his affairs listed under pseudonyms on his phone. Though she admitted to infidelity, she framed her actions as a reaction to Roody’s repeated betrayals.
In the aftermath, many in the media, along with fans, took sides, reflecting Haiti’s deep societal issues with domestic violence and infidelity. This situation has sparked a broader conversation about the mistreatment of women in relationships and the country’s inadequate response to addressing such violence.
While both Rutshelle and Roody’s actions remain controversial, their behavior, particularly in handling the public fallout, has left many questioning how the situation will impact their careers and personal lives. Both parties seem to have generated significant media attention, but as with many scandals, it raises concerns about long-term repercussions.
Ultimately, it’s a troubling saga that brings Haiti’s ongoing battle with domestic violence to the forefront, with both Roody and Rutshelle in need of healing and reflection. As the dust settles, many hope that both will seek the necessary help to move forward, both personally and professionally.
