AceShowbiz - Macy Gray has denied her daughter's claims that her son hit her. The 56-year-old singer, who has son Tracy, 28, and 29-year-old daughter Aanisah, was shocked to discover that her eldest had filed a restraining order against her brother because he has "never" caused her any physical harm and insisted that they are dealing with any other "issues" they may have like any other family.

A representative told People, "Me and my son love each other and he would never think of causing me any physical harm. Outside of that, like any family, we have our issues and we're dealing with it!"

Aanisah says in the document, which was filed in Los Angeles on 31 January but which only came to light on Tuesday, February 6, "Tracy got into a physical altercation with my mom. He followed her and harassed her as he always does when he drinks."

Aanisah added in the court documents her boyfriend Cornel Pearson attempted to step in during the alleged bust-up, but said Tracy retaliated by hitting him. She alleged, "We waited for the cops to come while he continued to bang on the doors of our rooms looking for confrontation."

Graphic designer Aanisah said her brother continued to "harass" his relatives and at one point "pushed" her. She also said when police arrived she was advised to file a restraining order because there was no video of the incident.

The alleged fight broke out the weekend before last, and Aanisah said in her filing Tracy is abusive "every time he drinks, normally monthly." Aanisah also stated she does not want Tracy to be able to access her home as she is expecting her first child in September. Her filing also said that the "I Try" singer, whose real name is Natalie Renee McIntyre, wants Tracy "gone" and "will confirm" her feelings.
