Producers on the show were appalled by the clip, a source told the outlet.

In the clip, which was circulating online Wednesday, Emanuel was purportedly seen being physically abusive with canines.

The show’s Donna Lombardi posted the clip, according to the outlet, writing, ‘I don’t even get into the life of this man, but this video made me so upset.’

She added, ‘I pray the people see you, @ceaserblackink, as the monster you are.’

Emanuel’s attorney Walter Mosley told TMZ Thursday afternoon that ‘there is no police involvement’ in the case, as ‘the video is old’ and ‘was shot at his residence in Atlanta during COVID’ lockdown.

Emanuel had been featured on the series since its 2013 debut, as it chronicled business at his Harlem-based shop Black Ink Tattoo.
