AceShowbiz - Azealia Banks has taken legal action against Russell Crowe following an altercation during a dinner party in his hotel room on Saturday, October 15. In a since deleted Facebook post, she accused him of choking and calling her N-word.

On Monday, Azealia filed a battery report against Russell. The "212" hitmaker reportedly decided to bring the matter to the Beverly Hills Police Department because the "Gladiator" actor is refusing to apologize for his alleged part in the incident.

Following the court filing, Azealia took to Facebook to post cryptic message which read, "I have receipts. Stay tuned." Her lawyer later tweeted a statement, "Azealia is tremendously distraught and disheartened. She is shell shocked and will speak out on the incident once she has had time to process the brutality and abuse she was unjustly subjected to."

She then shared an article in which she said she wanted to stop being a "crazy girl" following Zayn Malik feud. "My mother has never reprimanded me but she reprimanded me after the thing with Zayn [Malik] happened," she told Evening Standard, "She was like, 'Azealia, you hurt a lot of people.' I was like, 'f**k.' "

"It finally reconciled these two conflicting thoughts I had about being real and being professional," she explained, "I realized you're not keeping it real by being a crazy girl. You don't lose anything by keeping your mouth shut. So maybe it's time to stop being a crazy girl."

"You know sometimes you get carried away when you're joking. There's this crude, ignorant, mixed-up New York City humor where people call each other all kinds of f**ked-up s**t. I use the N-word all the time. I was being stupid, not trying to be hurtful. But there was a point to be made about being stolen from and then having to be the black person defending your blackness. Sometimes you just lose it," she added.

Azealia announced that she's taking a day off from her online store. "Hi. I'm taking the day off from my shopify and depop because I'm really not doing well right now," she wrote, "I be back on it tomorrow I hope you understand."

Rumor has it, Azealia threatened to harm a fellow guest before she got kicked out of Russell's hotel room. She reportedly threatened to cut a woman's throat with a piece of glass after the rapper was asked to behave at the party. "You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino s**t," so she allegedly told the lady.
