Ceaser Emanuel has been fired from VH1's "Black Ink Crew" after footage of him abusing a dog surfaced online.
In a report by TMZ, producers found the video revolting, leading to his immediate firing. The clip showed Emanuel hitting a dog with a chair several times and locking it in a cage. "We have made the decision to cut ties with Ceaser Emanuel from 'Black Ink Crew New York.' Since next season was close to finishing production, this decision will not impact the upcoming season," a spokesperson for the network told the outlet. They also said that the ordeal will play out on the show.
Meanwhile, Walter Mosley, Emanuel's attorney, told People that the footage making rounds was an "old video" and that his client only did it to prevent rabid dogs from hurting other animals. "Ceaser is an avid dog lover and has many dogs and has had in his lifetime, many dogs and other pets," Mosley said. "This was an unfortunate situation as I understand it, where there were a number of other aggressive dogs attacking smaller dogs and probably was a lapse of judgment as to how to appropriately ... break up that interaction."
