Women who accuses Pickler's Father Speaks Out

STANLY COUNTY -- The woman who is accusing Kellie Pickler's father of attacking her with a steak knife says the two were childhood friends growing up in Albemarle.

She said she got back in touch with Clyde Pickler Jr. when she started writing him while he was serving time in a Florida prison. They married last month and this week she says he came at her with a knife. But Danielle Pickler also told WCNC this wasn't the first time Clyde Pickler was violent. Arrest warrants show his new wife alleges he held a steak knife to her saying, "You know that guy I stabbed in Florida that didn't die? Well it's gonna be different this time because you are going to die."

Danielle Pickler also said her husband was intoxicated early Wednesday morning when he shoved her into their bathroom and wouldn't let her out. She said her 18-year-old daughter finally had to call the police to get help.

Police charged Clyde Pickler with three counts: assault on a female, communicating threats, and assault with a deadly weapon.

Danielle Pickler also said she she's spoken with her family and if the American Idol’s father is willing to go to counseling, she's willing to drop the charges. That, however, would be up to the district attorney.

Clyde Pickler’s next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 28.

His daughter Kellie is moving on with her signing career, and so far she isn’t commenting on her father’s latest arrest.

She is scheduled to appear in Charlotte for a concert with Brad Paisley this July.

omg i can't believe that!

Kellie is VERY strong. Her fruitcake dad won't slow her down. I am sure she is dissapointed with him but she knows she can't help him. (he must help himself). Keep in mind that Kellie has good people around her all the time for support and advice. lol

Kellie gave her dad a chance and he blew it.

If Kellie is getting good advice from professionals I am sure she is aware of the principles of tough love and how to deal with alcoholics who won't stop drinking.

I am sure Kellie has bowed out of his life. We have certainly had clues to this end in the past few months.

Maybe years from now, if he cleans up his act, she might reconsider a relationship of some type with him, but my take is that she is done with him and her mother and has moved on.

Let's do the same here on Kelliefans. This is too much of a downer to spend any time on.

The poor girl must be a wreck though

I guess we can try and look on the bright side that hopefully we'll see a sales increase next week because of the publicity :/

Kellie's a strong girl. she'll get through this. just like she did everything else and it'll only make her stronger.

I agree with Robert lets lock this and get it out of our collective mind..I think most of us knew this was coming so it should not be a shock...Kellie has her own life and she has the strong will power to go on...
