VIDEO: Kyle Norman & Wife on ‘The Steve Harvey Show’In January 2015, Kyle was arrested for assaulting his wife Marrika (click HERE if you missed that).

Marrika says in the video above that the violent incident cost her a career, friends and even the relationship with her father, who she refuses to deal with her after she took Kyle back (and subsequently married him).

I just knew it was not him. Kyle has always provided for me… always cared for me. I just think he was out of his mind.

You know… sometimes drinking and drugs and stuff like that… you’re not yourself.

Marrika was also a foster parent at the time and she lost custody of the little girl that she was keeping at the time because of the incident.

As for the fallout with Marrika’s father, Kyle admits that he understands her dad’s position. He even sends a message to his former foster daughter, stating:

I would let her know how deeply sorry that I am and that I’ma be the best father with every breath that’s in me.

That monster that night, you will never see him… and if you see that in any relationship that you’re involved in… move away from that.

Kyle also sends a message to Jagged Edge fans, stating:

I just want my fans to know that I’m Kyle… Kyle made a mistake. But I’ve got to continue to be a better person.

We all sin and fall short of the glory of God… but I’m human. Whatever I have to do, I’ma do it… whatever I have to say, I’ma say it… to speak out against domestic violence.
