On June 2nd, Widow was released after paying $5,000 of her $50,000 bail – pending a further court appearance on June 7th. Before this date, Widow must stay under house arrest, isn’t allowed to contact the alleged victim and mustn’t be in possession of any firearms.

The alleged victim is said to be Widow’s boyfriend, who claims she got upset when she returned to find him sleeping in her apartment without her consent – although the alleged victim states he told Widow that he would be staying there.

The boyfriend of Widow Von’Du told Kansas police that he was dragged across the floor, pushed into a bed frame rendering him unconscious, punched in his face four or five times, and strangled by the Drag Race alum.

A video on Twitter taken of the arrest shows Widow telling the police her version of events: “You’re taking me down because I was assaulted in my own apartment as someone else would not understand that his privilege does not extend to my apartment.
