Joseph McVey, known professionally as Z-Ro, is accused of beating Brittany Bullock during an April incident in Katy.

After McVey arrived at Bullock’s residence, he reportedly proceeded to beat her for over an hour – and authorities say there’s video to corroborate the attack.

Bullock shot footage, in which police said they could hear McVey say “you’re dead,” along with slapping sounds.

Police also heard Bullock ask, “Why did you just push me?” and, “Get your fucking hands from around my neck,” in addition to her crying and asking McVey to stop.

Brittany, known as Just Brittany, appeared with her then-boyfriend in a music video last December, featured above.
