Last week, Nick Gordon dodged a major bullet in his domestic violence case with his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Laura Leal. Since then though, TMZ has obtained footage of the incident that led to his most recent legal troubles.

In the incident, Gordon reportedly phoned officials to report that he’d been a victim of domestic violence at the hands of his girlfriend. However, upon arrival, officials noticed Leal’s apparent injuries and turned to Gordon as the assailant.

Gordon then attempted to plead his case, on camera.

In the footage, as the officer questions Gordon about the incident, he begins to cry hysterically, as he blames Leal’s craziness for the incident.

“Do you see what happened?” he asked, as he cried and showed the officer his torn-up shirt. “She flipped out like I can’t do this anymore. I can’t.”

“She called the cops on me for this before. I’m tired of this. I’m a famous person, she’s done this to me,” he continued, as the officer continued to ask for his side of the story. “She scratched me, she beat me,” he said, just before denying ever putting hands on Leal. “Never, I would never. She accused me of this before. I called you guys. I’m tired of it.”

“He punched me, he slapped me a couple times in my face,” she said, adding that he had a few drinks prior to the incident. “He wanted to be with his angels and I can’t handle it. He wants to be with his angels,” allegedly Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina.

However, Gordon denied that he was suicidal.
