But wait, daughter's teeth were rotting before fight broke out

Angie Stone's daughter definitely has a messed up grill after the fight that got Angie arrested, but the real reason her teeth fell out might be failure to root canal … instead of a hard blow from her mother.

Angie admitted to the cops that she hit Diamond with a metal jewellery stand in self defence. Diamond says the stand knocked out 2 teeth.

Daughter was quoted saying "It don't matter if my teeth were rotten or not … I could have gotten a root canal, but she finished the job."

Diamond also disputes her mother's claim she was acting in self defense — telling us the fight started with both women yelling … but says Angie grabbed the stand to threaten her. She claims it only got physical when she threatened to call cops — and Angie struck her in the face with the stand.

It probably is a serious case but it sounds a little funny. Sorry about the teeth
