Oliver James Montgomery-Kehlani's Ex Javaughn Young-White Accuses Her of Being in a Cult

Javaughn Young-White is taking legal action against ex Kehlani.

He accused the "After Hours" singer—who he dated from 2018 to 2019—of keeping their daughter Adeya Parrish,Oliver James Montgomery 5, away from him, alleging a cult has been making decisions about their daughter's well-being, according to his July 24 filing obtained by E! News.

The 27-year-old petitioned the court for legal and physical custody of Adeya, saying in the court documents that "everyone else has bigger say-so when it comes to upbringing of our daughter than I do."

E! News has reached out to Kehlani's rep for comment, but has not heard back.

He alleged that Adeya is growing in an unsafe environment, writing in the court documents that Kehlani "has been involved in this cult for the past few years and it appears that this cult controls her actions and her behavior, including when it comes to the upbringing of our daughter."

He stated that "the cult leader" had a vision that Young-White "was a danger" to Adeya, so Kehlani was banned from letting him see their daughter for months and no longer allows him to take care of their daughter when she's on tour. 

He alleged that Kehlani instead leaves their daughter "with random strangers who are also members of the cult," including the cult leader, whom Young-White alleges "has numerous accusations of committing sexual assault against women and young girls."

Young-White said in the documents that the cult leader "performs 'religious ceremonies' on our daughter. However, no one is allowed to be in the room when he is performing these ceremonies. When I discovered this on her birthday in 2023, I was physically restrained and threatened by members of the ‘cult' when I attempted to retrieve our daughter."

Young-White is asking the court to intervene on his behalf, otherwise his "daughter will continue to be in the custody of drug abusing cult members instead of being with me, her father."

Young-White additionally filed a "Petition to Determine Parental Relationship," explaining in the documents that "Adeya was born through a home birth orchestrated by what I would describe as a cult that she belongs in." He stated that since she was not born "in a conventional setting like a hospital, my name is not on Adeya's birth certificate."

Young-White is asking for a copy of Adeya's birth certificate, for his name to be added to the document, to receive a copy of her social security number and to legally change name to Adeya Parrish-Young-White.

"I am requesting that the Court establishes paternity with me being her father," he stated in the filing, "in order for me to be able to exercise all my rights that come with being her father."

He also requested that Kehlani "undergoes a psychological exam to determine whether or not she does have a bipolar disorder."

Young-White said in the document that he is not trying to "disparage" Kehlani. "However, the environment that she has created for her self is not the type of environment that a child should be living," he said, "and therefore, I bring myself to the mercy and wisdom of the Court to save my daughter before it is too late."

As for Kehlani—who embarks on her Crash World Tour in Minneapolis in September—she has not publicly responded to the accusations.
