Dancing With the Stars' Jaleel White Speaks Out About Abuse Allegations

"The allegations made against me back in 2010 have suspiciously resurfaced in time to coincide with my new show on Syfy and Dancing With the Stars; Bridget Hardy has consistently shown a knack for timing throughout our child custody disputes," he tells E! News in a statement.

"When you're doing well in life it's par for the course certain individuals will try and knock you down. When the individual is also the mother of your only child it is particularly hurtful. I have co-parented in peace and compliance with the law for over two years now."

The Dancing With the Stars competitor went on to elaborate on the relationship he's had with Hardy—who, his rep tells us, he hasn't seen physically in almost six months and only contacts through emails—thus far and why he felt it took a turn for the worse.

"In the summer of 2010, my 11 month old daughter was taken to Seattle, Washington for what was supposed to have been a planned vacation and as Ms. Hardy declared herself in her recent exclusive interview, she told me emphatically, 'I'm done.'  Our relationship came to an end.
