'Next' group member Raphael Brown defends himself--"I never hit my wife"

Remember the 90s group, "Next" and their hit song, "Too Close?" Well MStars is now learning the details swirling around of allegations that group member, Raphael Brown abused his wife.

Brown denies the allegations that were made by his estranged wife, and says he never laid one finger on her. The soon-to-be ex-wife of the singer was granted a temporary restraining order against Brown, after claiming that he was abusive to her.

The group member's wife said that Brown has knocked her the stomach while she was pregnant. But Brown is denying that story and says, that although he has been verbally abusive to his estranged wife, Juliette, he has never been physical with her.

"I never kicked her in her stomach when she was pregnant with our son, who's now 10 years of age, nor when she wasn't with child. I never punched my ex-wife in the face, I've never grabbed my ex-wife by her neck or pushed her to the floor."

Brown insisted that his soon-to-be ex-wife harasses him on the web going to Twitter, throwing out racial comments. Juliette who is not black says she is not a racist and says that the account has been deleted.

The "Too Close" singer says all he wants is for the divorce to be finalized and to move on with his life.

"I have peace in my life and I have moved on. That chapter is closed and I want her to respect my position and do what's best for our children."
