Dizzee Rascal Found Guilty of Assaulting Ex-Fiance

Dizzee Rascal has been found guilty of assaulting his ex-fiancee during a "chaotic" row about child contact.

The 37-year-old grime star was convicted of assaulting his former partner Cassandra Jones at a property in Streatham, south London, on 8 June last year.

The court heard that the musician, whose real name is Dylan Mills, "barged" into Ms Jones's residence in June last year, "put his forehead against hers" and then "pushed her to the ground"; all while he was carrying their son in his arms during the incident.

The pair, who have two children, separated in February 2021.

Following the verdict on Monday afternoon, Dizzee smashed a camera out of a PA media photographer in rage while he tried to film him.

Announcing the guilty verdict, District Judge Polly Gledhill said: "I am satisfied so that I am sure that on 8 June that Mr Mills, on returning home with the child late, lost his temper in an argument over child contact and finances."

Mills was "abusive and aggressive" and "assaulted her as outlined by the Crown", she added.

After being alerted to the incident, the police arrived at the scene and arrested the singer. Although he said he was the "aggressor" at the time, he later denied the allegations and instead accused Ms Jones of hurting his arm.

Ms Jones told the court in tears how she feared that Mills, who she said was "out of control" during the incident, would drop their son.

"He was screaming for me and I said, "Please, just give me him," Ms Jones said.

Mills, who was made an MBE in 2020 for his contribution to the music industry, will be sentenced at Croydon Magistrates Court on 8 April.
