Veronica Lighty Says They Were Not Getting A Divorce, Denies Debt
Today, the memorial service for 44-year-old music executive, Chris Lighty, will take place today at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel on Madison Avenue. Many of Chris’ close family and friends continue to speculate over what may have taken him over the edge, triggering a suicide. A number reports indicate that an argument with his estranged wife, Veronica Light, and serious debt, may have been the cause. However, in her first interview since his death, Veronica suggests that what has been reported about Chris’ life is untrue. She told the Daily News:
“My husband was too smart of a man. He was a genius. No smart man is going to leave his children for fighting with his wife. That makes absolutely no sense.”
And reports about them arguing before his death and the two heading towards divorce? Absolutely false.
“We had a passionate relationship. We fought all the time. I had filed for divorce last year, but retracted it” [two days before Father’s Day]. That was my gift to him.”
She also noted that they had sold their Chelsea apartment for $5.6 million and moved to an equally luxurious Riverdale townhouse.
“We were not in debt $5 million.”
Chris leaves behind six children, along with Veronica.

Lol, I know right, Dudes in the music industry be gettin em on… Wife says it wasnt debt and it wasnt the argument. So, what would make a smart man leave his children behind and commit suicide.
What makes a smart person believe her ? The real gift would be to get a damn divorce.
It could be suicide or a murder which has the appearance of a suicide.
People should have a critical view on things that are abnormal.
Like a depressed rich smart man choosing the bullet as the smartest choice to make.
Come on, this man knows the recipy to organised the right platform to build-up and pushing simple individuals to become and stay Stars in a competitive industry.
Chris Lighty got killed, by someone he knows well, which also has a lot of money to transform the scene, as it was a suicide…
Professional work only; Did some neighbor hear any gunshot: Nah!!!
Do you believe he put a silencer, shot his head, remove the silencer, throw it out the window, come back where he shot himself, positionned the gun next to his body, and die…
Professionnal work; Police have no other clues…
Do you believe his wife on the divorce issues; Does she still wear the wedding ring: Nah!!!
Anyway, she’s right on 1 thing:
“My husband was too smart of a man. He was a genius. No smart man is going to leave his children for fighting with his wife. That makes absolutely no sense.”
*Bingo: It’s a murder
