Macy Grayis speaking out about her daughter Aanisah Hinds' recent allegations against the singer’s son, Tracy Melvin Hinds.

“Me and my son love each other and he would never think of causing me any physical harm. Outside of that, like any family, we have our issues and we’re dealing with it,” Gray, 56, said in a statement via her rep to PEOPLE Tuesday.

In the court filing, Aanisah alleged that her brother “followed” and “harassed” their mom, claiming that it is something “he always does when he drinks.” She said he “pushed” their mom during the alleged incident and also “fought” her fiancé Cornel Pearson.

“We waited for the cops to come while he continued to bang on the doors of our rooms looking for confrontation. After he was out of the house, we locked the doors, but he came back through a window and began harassing again. Later he pushed me and has done so many times," the document reads.

“He constantly abuses and fights with all of us, no one has a problem except him,” Aanisah wrote as the reason for her filing.

Aanisah also asked the court to grant a move-out order, no-contact order, and a stay-away order that would require Tracy to keep 100 yards away from her home, workplace, vehicle, her fiancé and herself, and their mother.
