Ne-Yo asks for privacy after 'heartbroken' wife Crystal Renay accuses him of cheating

Ne-Yo is asking people to respect his and his family's privacy after his wife publicly accused him of cheating.

Ne-Yo's wife, Crystal Renay Smith, shared an emotional statement Saturday evening, accusing her husband — whose given name is Shaffer Chimere Smith — of sleeping with other women throughout their eight years of marriage.

"8 years of lies and deception," she wrote on Instagram. "8 years of unknowingly sharing my life and husband who sell their bodies to him unprotected. .. every last one of them! To say I'm heartbroken and disgusted is an understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane."
