<center>So my gal pal, Georgette, from <a href="http://luxladies.com">LuxLadies</a>, hit me up asking for my response on Mashonda&#8217;s twitter letter to Alicia Keys and boy did I have some words to the soon-to-be ex-wife. <a href="http://luxladies.com/2009/10/mashondas-open-letter-the-female-perspective/">LuxLadies.com</a> asked 12 intelligent females to shed light on the Open Letter. What do they think of Mashonda? Are they turning their back on Alicia Keys? Read below for a few comments&#8230;</center><br />
<center><a rel="attachment wp-att-25915" href="http://str8nyc.com/2009/10/07/dear-mashonda/rocawear-cebwebrity-photoshoot-2-3311/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25915" title="rocawear-cebwebrity-photoshoot-2-3311" src="http://str8nyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/rocawear-cebwebrity-photoshoot-2-3311.jpg" alt="rocawear-cebwebrity-photoshoot-2-3311" width="225" height="337" /></a></center></p>
<blockquote><p><em>“It’s a well written letter, but who is Mashonda trying to reach here. Something tells me the fans and not Alicia Keys. I find it extremely hard to believe Mashonda hasn’t been able to reach Alicia Keys in the last two years. We (public) have no idea what went on behind close doors inside the marriage of Swizz and Mashonda. What is Mashonda trying to say with this letter… that “she’s hurt,” that “it’s Alicia’s fault,” that “it’s Swizz’s fault.” I just don’t understand the reason for the letter and not to mention two years later. Why now? This is only one side of the story. Yes, it’s unfortunate their marriage is over… but we don’t know the full story. Who are we to label Alicia Keys a “homewrecker,” Swizz Beats as “grimey,” Mashonda as “the victim.” We’ve never heard of any mess like this going on in either Alicia or Swizz’s past, so how are we to pass judgement on the situation when we don’t know the facts.</em></p>
<p><em>This all seems a little publicity stunt on Mashonda’s part to try to turn Alicia Keys’ fans against her, as well as Swizz Beatz’s and gain more fans on her side. At this point, I want to hear from Swizz Beatz, I want to hear from Alicia Keys. And call me a hater, but I doubt Mashonda even penned this letter herself, sounds like a good editing job by her PR rep. If she really wanted to discuss the issue, rather than putting her dirty laundry out there for all to read, why not handle it in private (a la Jay-Z and Beyonce). I’m not taking sides here, but the story just doesn’t add up, we need more information. In a court of law, “you’re innocent until proven guilty” but in this case both Alicia and Swizz are “guilty until proven innocent.” Let’s stop pointing fingers and learn the facts. That’s all I’m saying…”</em></p></blockquote>

WOW! Mark exposes mad dirt&#8230;crazy! </p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Biggie was already on his way out the door&#8230;Biggie Smalls made Bad Boy, Bad Boy is Biggie Smalls!&#8221;</em><br />
<em>“You gotta look at it like this, A person like Mase that comes to Puff that wants a record deal automatically is willing to do anything that he can do to get that deal. So you have to look at like this, you are willing to sell your soul for that deal. For example, they might say I’m gonna give you a $100 million dollars but before I do that, I want to take a couple pictures with you…with your shirt off…and your pants too. And you’ll be like “$100 million dollars…a shirt and no pants? hmmm, Okay, let’s do it!” So now, here go your $100 million. Now you sitting there with your girl, she got her diamonds and fur on and she look good. All of a sudden you got somebody in the background flashing those pictures at you in an envelope telling you “Come here. We need to talk to you”. You be like “Wow, now you got me by the balls”. When somebody come to you and say “I’m going to expose to your people everything you doing to get this money”, it’ll make you kill yourself”.</em></p></blockquote>
<p></center><center> Everything you thought was true about Diddy&#8230;according to Mark, IT&#8217;S ALL TRUE! </center><br />
<center> I wonder if Mark is concerned for his well being and safety. I&#8217;m just sayin&#8230;</center><br />

I can see it now, a lot of chicks are going to be hatin&#8217; on Necole. Mad props to Necole for baggin&#8217; up Trey!

<center> Gabrielle Union is done playing nice with these black blogs. She&#8217;s so sick and tired of the hating and the lies, she&#8217;s taking matters into her own hands by taking <a href="http://www.bossip.com">Bossip</a> to court&#8230;even if it means going BROKE!! </center><br />
<em><br />
<blockquote>&#8220;Unfortunately, blogs don’t fact check. Alot of them don’t have the man power…or when they know they made a mistake and print something that’s not true, they don’t say “you know I made a mistake, I’m sorry”. That’s all I ask. “Look you made a mistake, I’m telling you this is all false. Can you print a retraction and an apology” and they refused. I’m not little Ms. Sue Happy. I’m a black actress. I can’t afford this. And I may go broke trying to prove what’s right is right and what’s wrong is wrong.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
