The first white man of rap, Vanilla Ice, was arrested earlier tonight in Palm Beach County, Florida. He wasn't arrested for drunk driving or drugs- he was arrested for beating his wife!
Any respect you had for Vanilla Ice, and come on, that's not much, has now completely disappeared.

Physically abusing your wife???? That is beyond low. That is beyond unacceptable!

Vanilla's wife called deputies to say her husband was hitting and kicking her.

Police arrived at their Wellington home around 7:15 p.m. to find Ice on his motorcycle, two blocks from their home.

Back at the couple's home, Laura Van Winkle appeared uninjured and was less forthcoming, saying she did not want to deal with media attention, but wants a divorce, according to a deputy's report. She said her husband had not hit or kicked her, but had pushed her.

Okay, lying about your husband beating you is not cool either!!!!

"He started yelling at me for going out to buy a bedroom set. In front of my daughter," she told a deputy, according to the arrest report. "I'm sorry I can't say any more until I talk to an attorney."

Vanilla told deputies that he and his wife had been arguing since the previous day, leading him to tell her "You're nuts!" He said his wife is bipolar and takes medication but still has irrational and argumentative episodes. He denied pushing his wife, according to the report.

He said he left on his motorcycle so they could cool down.
