YBF Exclusive: NBA Baller Josh Powell In A Bitter Custody Battle
NBA star Joshua (Josh) Powell of the Los Angeles Clippers is allegedly in a nasty custody battle with his ex-fiance’ Emily Perich over their daughter Patience. Josh is alleged to be keeping Patience from her mother and keeping her in the care of his multiple jump-offs, different men and ill family members. The custody battle is in Dallas, Texas (where they previously lived) even though both parties live in Los Angeles, California. According to court recordings, Joshua doesn’t even know the last names of the individuals that he has caring for his daughter in his absence. A source who is one of Emily’s closest confidante’s gave The YBF insight into what has been really going on. Her statement and more when you read the rest…
JOSH AND EMILY WERE TOGETHER SINCE 2005 BEFORE HE WAS DRAFTED TO THE DALLAS MAVERICKS. JOSH AND EMILY WERE SCHEDULED TO BE MARRIED IN AUG 2008. THEIR DAUGHTER WAS BORN JULY OF 2006. JOSH WAS TRADED FROM THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS TO LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS IN AUGUST OF 2007. SHORTLY AFTER MOVING TO LOS ANGELES WITH FIANCE AND THEIR CHILD HIS ATTITUDE BEGAN TO CHANGE. IN OCT OF 2007 JOSH KICKED HIS FIANCE AND DAUGHTER OUT OF THEIR HOME KNOWING THEY HAD NO WHERE TO GO. WEEKS ENSUING BEFORE THIS INCIDENT JOSH’S ATTORNEY CONTACTED EMILY TO SET UP CHILD SUPPORT WHEN EMILY SAID SHE WAS GOING TO SEEK COUNSEL THEN THEY FILED CUSTODY PAPERS BEHIND HER BACK IN DALLAS TX. JOSH IN RETURN RECEIVED A DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND PLACED A RESTRAINING ORDER ON EMILY SO SHE CANNOT HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH HER CHILD. FROM THE DAY THEIR DAUGHTER WAS BORN EMILY HAS TAKEN CARE OF ALL THEIR DAUGHTERS NEEDS WITH NO HELP FROM ANYONE, JOSH WAS EITHER ON THE ROAD MOST OF THE TIME OR AT BASKETBALL CAMPS. EMILY HAS NOT SEEN HER DAUGHTER SINCE NOV. OF 2007 AND JOSH IS KEEPING THEIR DAUGHTER IN THE CARE OF HIS CURRENT JUMP OFFS AND MALE FRIENDS, HE IS ACTING AS IF EMILY IS BRITNEY SPEARS OR IN CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF HER CHILD. JOSH POWELL NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED FOR THE FRAUD THAT HE IS. THERE ARE SO MANY TWIST AND TURNS TO THIS STORY, BUT AT MOST JUST VERY HEART BREAKING.
According to the source, Josh, up until several months ago, was still physically involved with Emily and even snuck out of their bed together to go to a court proceeding that Emily had no knowledge of since she was told by him it was cancelled. This was all after she thought they were on better terms. And he proceeded to tell the judge that Emily was nowhere to be found. Sources close to Emily are very upset by this turn of events and wants the world to know just how conniving Josh is. And according to the source, even though he’s making her out to be a horrible parent, he is doing all of this out of bitterness and hatefulness. Here’s the court documented letter Emily allegedly sent to the judge in the case:

this is sad and equally disgusting. to leave your child in the care of strangers is deplorable & to try to take her from her mother simply out of spite is just sick. i hope this story is more rumor than truth because that poor baby will be the one to lose in this.

You know his lawyer told him to do that. He’s not even with the child majority of the time. Why is he being so mean to the child’s mother???? I can understand if she was being a bad mother, but he’s doing this out of spite!!!! That’s just cold blooded…. I hope she gets her child back..

It would seem that she would be the bitter one…at any rate, I can’t wait to hear of the WHOLE story. SAD…because in the end, its the child that suffers!

I hope this isn’t true, but if it is these parents need to step up and be mothers and fathers and not baby daddy/mama. This child has probably been shuttled back and forth so much that she’s confused and already has issues. If Emily is really trying to be a good mother than I pray whatever judge is presiding over this case will see the truth and award her custody– and in turn for that blessing Emily should allow Josh to see his child regularly— that is if he isn’t a detriment to the health and well-being of his daughter– b/c leaving her with randoms is dangerous, selfish and irresponsible to say the least. This is he say/she say at this point, but whatever is going on, it doesn’t appear that the baby is being taken care of the way she should be. A shame.

This is clearly one of the reasons why men and women need to be careful who they sleep-and procreate with…it is not always what it seams(Not saying that is exactly the case here since it was three years),but you can usually start to spot certain characteristics in a person, if you wait a few months. Nowadays a happy meal is satisfactory.
It is sad when alot of men does not excersice chivalry,or practice being a gentleman…whatever happened to dating and getting to know someone before you offer them that part of you…are people that desperate?

If this is all true, I feel what he is doing is horrible. But from a legal standpoint, chick needs to get on her game. I do not understand how he got a restraining order placed on her without any substantial evidence to back it up and her not fighting it. A default judgment can only be filed if chick never showed up to court. Either you never retained counsel to keep up with your court proceedings, or your just some dumb hood chick who would take the word of this ignorant brother just because he made it seem like he was getting back together with you. Girlfriend, grow up and get some representation. I think there is more to this story than meets the eye.

well the truth will prevail… emily is a good hearted person who only wants her daughter back. she was with josh before he was in the league and when he started feeling himself this is what happened. i know that she will get her daughter… emily is a great mother and she only had good intensions, and josh should care about the well being of his child instead of himself. but emily and patience will be back together asap… i have faith and trust in god and the justice system…

I hope this is not true. If it is I hope the mother is trying to get herself financially independent so that she can prove that she can provide a home for her child. I hope she was not just chilling while he was ploting. I hope she has a plan or at least a family that will hold her down in the mean while. This is why a woman must always be in the driver’s seat. You can never let a man provide your only source of income 100%. People change over time. Before the money she was hot but after the money well his options changed he is in a position to upgrade her. What separates her from all the other women he meets on the road. What makes him say damn that’s my baby? Does she have a life outside of him? It’s sad but anybody can push out a baby. Now what have you done lately? Don’t sleep on a man with a plan. She slept on him thinking a little make up loving with smooth things over according to the report. For him it was game on.
Ladies take this as a lesson, we often wonder what life would be like if we got with a baller well this is what could happen to you.

The letter sayd her lawyers are working on contingency. Contingency means that they will get a portion of whatever the final judgement is. This is a custody case. If Emily wins, what will the lawyers take…the baby’s toe?

Good. I wish her the best. My sister went through a similar situation with her daughter, but justice prevailed. The legal system is very slow. I can’t imagine how I would feel if I didn’t know where my child was, or who she was with.

Thank you for your posting. So many people only see the sweet side of love and never see the bitter side. We never imagine our loved ones acting like this Josh guy. Money makes people feel powerful. What we Josh say to his daughter if one of his friends were to touch his daughter or even worst rape her. All for the love of money right. He could have left her with her mom and limited the amount of money he gave her but no he wanted to hurt the mom. For the next woman in his life take a look this is how he is treating the mom of his kid and the woman he almost married. I hope he goes on the YBF wall of shame for this.

I can’t say that I know the true story because obviously I don’t know either of these individuals personally. But if her allegations are correct then it saddens me to think that Joshua would allow his ego to affect the welfare of his own daughter. Nothing should be more important than the well being of his daughter, not money, fame and certainly not revenge. Either way, it’s useless to say who is at fault when the daughter is the real victim. Hopefully things work out in favor of the child.

The statement and letter isn’t very well put together and certainly has too many errors to be presented before a judge. Get on your game, Emily.
My friend was in Texas and her ex took her to court in NY. She was also told she did not have to appear, but she did have to notify the judge as to why she was not appearing (financially unable to make the trip). How did she know? She called the court to find out what she needed to do. She didn’t need counsel to tell her that.
The fact of the matter is Miss Emily was sleeping on (and with) her situation! Lack of response is what causes default judgments and that has nothing to do with him. Josh knew just what to do to make Emily take her eye off the ball.
I hope Miss Emily and Mr. Powell can get it together for the sake of their beautiful baby girl. And ladies…take notes!

I second that, also these ladies have to keep in mind that you are the primary parent…you set the example…you would have to be really off to lose your child to someone who travels as much as an Athlete does w/out aggressive effort…and to have Joe Schmo taking care of your baby girl!!
If you do not want your children raised a cerartain way…then you need to raise them yourself or with the help of someone w/values. Alot of girls nowadays does not have any values. If you are focused on a certian profile of a particular man, then you need to be on your game. That big butt and a smile gets old and sloppy. Men are not as dumb as you think. Keep in mind anyone that’s acquired a substantial amount of cash…isn’t as dumb as you think, they did not get to that level just by being frivolous.

This type of behavior is disturbing. How does the system really work? How can this be able to go on. He is in the NBA and yet he is getting away with the worst thing a Man can ever do to a Lady. Take her Baby away. Mother’s are everything to our kids. Even if their is a Father around it is not the same as having your Mother. That beautiful Baby Girl knows what is going on around her. I have a son that is 2 years old and he knows his entire family and then some. So this precious Baby Girl knows what is happening to her.
So sad. I would never have respect for this young man if this story is true.
I wish The mother of this baby the best of luck in getting her Daughter Back and exposing the so called Baller. Sick!!!!

Also, he probably filed for custody in Texas because the cost of living is cheaper in Texas then California if things don’t go his way. Child support is determined based on where the child lives.

My point exactly. I really feel sorry for the woman, but these are your kids, so from jump she really needed to take action. It really only takes a phone call or going on the state court website to file certain documents yourself. In the beginning of the process, you do not need legal representation. I personally believe she let that man emotionally and financially blind her into thinking that he was no longer going through with the proceedings.

When any one parent attempts to keep their child away from the other parent they are being selfish. This child has a right to the love and affection of BOTH parents. They can both raise THEIR child. I would think that since HE is in the NBA and travels a lot HE would be content not having to worry about the welfare of his child while HE is working, and happy his daugher is with HER mother, a mother who seems to love her and is not endangering their child. It’s a shame. Who the heck does he think he is. The mother of the child needs to smarten up and protect her rights as a mother. A child is not a possession or pawn to be used for your own selfish motives. GROW UP JOSHUA POWELL!!! Carry yourself as an adult and not play these childish games with your child. THAT IS HER MOTHER — THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD!

I’m sorry but the first thing someone needs to do is change that little girl’s name “their daughter Patience”. Is it just me who thinks this need to be done?????????? I’m sorry but I’m not trying to make jokes but come on………. Her mother was dead wrong and this alone makes her relationship QUESTIONABLE. Was it because she was being Patience waiting for that big money deal…I’m just saying.

Well I personally know Josh and this is very out of character for him. Josh is not as irresponsible to let just ANYONE take care of his daughter. Josh is a very genuine, caring person; he has a good heart and was raised in a good home. He was not raised to treat women this way, He also loves his mother very much, therefore he doesn’t have it in his heart to do otherwise.
I met Ms. Emily once and she was very stand offish and snooty acting, so I read her story with a grain of salt. This is a woman scorn and obviously out tarnish his image. So, please do not be quick to judge him just from what she is alledging. There is Her story, His story and the Truth.

Took the words right out of my mouth. my father raised me to never depend on a man to support you no matter how much money he makes. I went to school and got my Masters degree so that I will never need a man for nothing. Me and my husband share the same account when it comes to paying bills, and that is basically it. he understands that I always save my money just in case something should happen. I’m tired of women who live off of child support checks, it’s childish and you’re bond to end on the streets if he gets tired of your ass.

A quick and true story 4 y’all….There was a guy who had a girlfriend in college (when he was broke as hell) and she got pregnant. His new little girl went everywhere with him and his family loved her. After he graduated and was signed with a pro football team he met another girl. This girl was after $$ from the start. He paid child support for his fist daughter but he kicked and screamed the whole way. In fact one day in court his daughter who hadn’t seen him in about a year tried to give him a hug and he walked by like he didn’t know her. There are plenty other horrible things he did to plenty other people who were there for him in the beginning. He bought a multi million dollar home, cars, trips, and put his wife through medical school. She never worked and lived on his dime the whole time. Then he lost it all. Including her. Now he’s on the verge of suicide while she took her kids back to Chicago where she’s opening her own practice. She won’t let him see the kids at all, and now his oldest daughter who’s 12 won’t so much as mention him. He’s burned bridges, and now he’s got nothing or no one to depend on. The point is, people like him and Josh will act an ass, but karma ALWAYS comes back. Emily, you will get your due, but only if you deserve it. You have to be smart about it though cuz nobody’s going to give it to you.

for the people that are saying “too bad she got with him for the money” how the hell do you know that?? this girl was with him before he got drafted, and yea, some might say she did it cause she knew he was going to get drafted but only she knows her motives and intentions. I’m at a top PAC-10 football school and alot of my girls are dating guys on the football team, or in the NFL now who played for our school. Most of these girls didn’t get with them because they were about to be drafted. They even tried to turn them down when they kept asking for dates. If you know how black girls that are non-athletes are in college, then you should also know that most try to stay the fuck away from athletes because of the stereotype. But their persistence finally wins them over, and one date leads to two, and then all of a sudden they’re in love, married or engaged, and rocking huge diamonds. You don’t choose who you love. So women need to stop being bitter and labeling another woman a golddigger just cause she ended up with a boyfriend who plays in the league. They are normal people, like you and I. Pro ballers fall in love too. His love (in this case, at the time) shouldn’t be labeled a golddigger just cause of what he does.

Bottom line is a baby needs her mother. Especially when the father is a globe trotter and a team jumper. I guess he a bad father and player. I hope they throw the book at him. This story is so sad. I met josh at a game once and he seemed weird to me but i could tell that he was a player. He slept with a friend of mine in the back seat of his truck. I hope she wins. Hes a weirdo!!!!!!

I remember a few years ago when I was in school, a guy I was seeing at the time bought me a bracelet. My Dad had a FIT. I thought her was going to kick my ass - LOL! He said first he’ll buy me a bracelet, then an engagement ring and the next time I look up I’ll be married in a filthy ass house full of bad assed kids while he’s kicking my ass and sleeping with other women. He told me to get a job and buy my own damn bracelet if I wanted one. A bit extreme, but I got the point.

PERIOD! how did he know this, cause i told him so. and i stuck to my guns. girlfriend, uprooted her life to chase after this man who wasn’t thinking about her or his baby. and i don’t mean to come down hard on her, but her #1 priority should have been that child and protecting her child. not chasing after a man. ladies GET IT IN WRITING! that is the only thing that will hold up in court.

What a horrible situation. I feel so sorry for this poor woman. How evil must one man be to want to take a child away from its mother just to spite her. I noticed someone suggested that she “get on her game” but you fail to realize that if she was living with this man, engaged to him and having his baby, she, I’m sure, was under the assumption that she was financially secure. And, mind you, the story says that they were together BEFORE he joined the NBA. Now that they have separated, she has no legal access to his money. So, let’s not be surprised that she can not afford to hire the high end attorneys that he can, nor can she afford to just jump on a plane and attend court hearings in Texas. No, we don’t know the full story, but if he is willing to leave his not even 2 year old daughter with a couple of dudes for who knows how long while he is on the road… give me break!!! Take his rights away as well. Who does that? Consider the feelings of the child. “Where is Mommy? Who are these men and where is Daddy going?” The thought of leaving my small child with some dudes brings me to tears. IF they did something to here, she is too young to tell. Am I the only person disturbed & outraged by this????

I too know josh from college…in fact we dated for 2 years….i dont see this being him, unless hes changed a hella lot from then…from knowing his family, i dont believe his mother would let him just shuttle the baby around to random people…as a single mother, his mom raised him right and taught him to respect women and to hear allegations like what i just read, annoys me because it is one-sided…josh has helped me take care of my cousins, nieces and nephews on numerous occasions and he has never been anything but a good father figure to them (especially his little brother and my godson).
im not saying he is right for keeping Emily away from her baby, but if i know josh, there is another reason unstated in this article as to why she can’t see the baby. If he is wrong for what he did, the justice system will prevail but until then, i would take one-sided accounts like these with a grain of salt until all the facts are presented.

You guys are just adding to the double standard, making her the bad guy and victimizing the NBA star (who is not even a starter). If Josh was just some blank from around the way, you guys would not be so hard on her. Was she stupid for not insisting that they be married before they had a child? Yes. But we have all, yes ladies all, been dumb and in love at some point in our life. DON’T FRONT!!! And let’s not forget that he broke off the relationship. Not something a “Gold Digger” would do. Come on people - Think!

Man, some parents are worse than the things we try to protect our kids from in the first place. I am too confused as to why he is still hitting it?

If the Dallas judge ruled in his favor, then the authorities would’ve come to pick up the child and the mother would have to relinquish the child. If the mother tried to run with the child, that would be considered “kidnap” I know its sounds messed up but its all a bunch of legal bureaucratic stuff. So its not a matter of her just handing the child over to the father its deeper than that

I have a problem with the fact that she rarely capitalized her daughter’s name in the letter, but she always capitalized Josh’s name. I think this subliminaly says that she’s not too concerned about Patience? And then, chick is way hood-dumb.

Sad. But this is what happens when you have kids with somebody before getting to know them. They got together in 05 and had the baby in July 06? Thats not that long.

My main question on this would be why would this woman or her supporters take this situation to a blog? If the idea is to get your child back, then a good lawyer is what you need. It is certainly possible for a man with the kind of money an NBA player is making to file and to win, especially if the mother does not show up in court. As a dependent woman with less education and access to money than the man, it certainly could have. But it’s not THAT easy to remove a child from a custodial mother altogether. Both parents do have say-so in court, but many are now favoring the parent that files first. Fathers do have a lot more rights in custody cases than ever before. I’ve seen quite a few women fighting ex-boyfriends and husbands in court, so it’s not a given now that the woman automatically gets custody.
But for him to get full custody without visitation…hmmm…I don’t know. His side has yet to be told. Could he be a bitter baby daddy…absolutely that shit goes on on BOTH sides, irregardless of gender. But she say HE threw her out, so it doesn’t sound like she left and he’s mad. There could be good reason for him to have removed the child the way he did. Or she could just be a young uninformed woman who got taken advantage of by a vindictive father with access to money. But still and all, the fact that all this ended up on a gossip blob is indicative that she’s got some growing up to do. This is hardly helping her situation.

SOMETHING ALOT OF WOMEN ASSUME IS THAT THEY GAVE BIRTH TO A CHILD LEGALLY THEY HAVE CUSTODY. NOT! I KNOW FIRST HAND THAT IS SO NOT TRUE. MY PARENTS WERE MARRIED, THEY DIVORCED WITH NO STIPULATION IN REGARDS OF LEGAL CUSTOD OF ME AND MT SIBLINGS. MY AUNT PASSED, MY FATHER USED THE OPPURTUNITY TO COME GET US FROM MY MOTHER ONLY NEVER TO RETURN US TO HER. SHE MOVED OUT OF TOWN BEFORE THE DIVORCE, SHE WORKED AND WAS BUILDING A LIFE FOR HERSELF AND CHILDREN. SHE GOT THE BIGGEST BLOW WHEN SHE WENT TO COURT TO GET HER CHILDREN. THE JUDGE KINDLY TOLD HER BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF STIPULATION IN THE DIVORCE DECREE, HE COULDN’T TAKE US FROM ONE AND GIVE TO THE OTHER. UNBEKNOWNST TO HER MY FATHER HAD ALREADY OBTAINED LEGAL CUSTODY IN HIS JURISDICTION. WHAT COULD SHE DO? NOTHING! SO IF THIS STORY IS TRUE, WHOM EVER MADE IT INFRONT OF THE JUDGE FIRST IS THE LUCKY PERSON.
SOME MEN PLAY DIRTY WHEN THEY ARE RERJECTED BY BABY MOTHERS OR WIVES. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE IT WAS DONE WHEN I WANTED TO SEPERAT FROM MY DAUGHTER’S FATHER, HE TOLD ME I DIDN’T WANT HIM SO I COULDN’T HAVE HER, IN A HEATED ARGUMENT, HE SNATCHED HER AND LEFT, I SAW HER A MONTH LATER. DID I CALL THE POLICE? WELL HELL YEA! ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT HE HAS AS MUCH RIGHT TO HER AS I DO. THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO COURT AND OBTAIN LEGAL CUSTODY AND THEN THEY COULD PURSUE THE ISSUE LEGALLY!

She needs to avail herself of a very good attorney. Even is she doesn’t have the money for a high-power lawyer, legal-aid attorneys are quite good and can handle power-suit mouth-pieces.
I can’t speculate on his character or her character, but I suspect she was sucked in by the promise of a wealthy life, good sex, and she worshipped him like some sort of hero. I was once in this situation myself. But I managed to get out with my children. If he’s anything like my ex-husband, he was always manipulative, sneaky, and arrogant. Once those type of people get money and/or power, watch out! My ex-husband was so arrogant it bordered on psychosis. I don’t know if he did something or said something or what exactly it was that snapped me out of my hero worship, but I know I applied to college, got a part-time job, and circled my wagons because I knew the day was coming soon that I would leave or he would ask me to leave.
Whether you have the best husband/significant other on the planet or you have psychotic dildo like I did it’s always best to be self-sufficient should push come to shove and to make sure your rights as a parent are always protected. If he gets offended by you hiring a lawyer to tell you your legal rights, he’s clearly up to something shady. One of the main strategies a powerful man will use on you is to tell you…you don’t need a lawyer…we don’t need to go to court…then next time you look up, your children are gone and you got no financial settlement, while all along the man had a lawyer working behind the scenes.
My ex-husband even did the…we don’t have to go to court, because I withdrew the case…technique….all polite and loving…and smiling, but it all turned to pure rage when my a&& was sitting right in court on the day he said he withdrew the case. He was there with his lawyer and they were already celebrating a victory. Egg on his face indeed. I guess the d!ck wasn’t as magical as he thought.

Girfriend apparently you don’t know your girlfriend Emily that well cause she was not with Josh when he first got in the NBA. Unless she just lied to you like she lied in her story. Never did Ms. Hollywood say what she did. Remember you only have 1 side to the story. What happens in the darks always comes to light . You golddiggers remember that!
OnMar 31, 2008 at 10:45 pm (Quote) | Reply |
I am a dear and close friend of Emily, and I have been around her the duration of her relationship with this loser. This story is in fact true, Josh has completely flipped the script and done a 360 on Emily. Emily was indeed dating Josh before he became a Clipper, in fact when they met he was not on a team at all. Emily has never been a gold digger, anyone who knows her would know this. She is a sweet kind hearted person who has a tendency to fall for the wrong guy. When she started dating Mr. Powell I had a bad feeling about him. I have dated enough men to know when one may not be all that great. But, their relationship was good in the beginning, and even when he was signed to the Clippers he took her everywhere with him and presented her as his wife. After Patience was born, they still remained close despite the fact that he was on the road all the time. They were planning their wedding for this year, after having to push back the date several times due to his many trips, and training sessions. Emily stuck by him, even though he was out of town for much of their time together. She had no way of knowing he was going to become famous and be drafted to a major team. Money was not the issue. As long as I have known her, she has always kept a job and money in her pocket, without help from a man. After awhile I noticed she was starting to look upset and depressed all the time, even after purchasing a wedding dress. Emily wouldn’t tell me what was going on, until I kept questioning her change in demeanor. She is a very private person and had a hard time, even telling me, someone who has known her for years exactly what was going on. For all of you who said she should have been “on her game” it’s kind of hard to do that when the man who say’s he loves you is doing things behind your back. As you all know Josh has a heavy income now and can afford to hop back and forth to Dallas to pursue his fraudulent case. Mr. Powell decided he was not ready for marriage and a family after he already had his daughter. He decided that money, fame, and banging a different ho every night of the week was more important than a good women at home with his kid. It is a shame because Patience is a girl, and she will have to grow up to see how disrespectful her father was to her own mother. Josh has made it seem like Emily is the one who has started this, but in fact he was the one. With his selfish pride and spitefulness, he has even gone so far as to take back the car he had given to Emily as a gift when they broke up. He had insecurities when they decided to separate, and Emily found an apartment and moved out of their house, to move on with her life. Now he tries to make her look bad, when he is the idiot that looks bad. He has let go of a great woman, who any man would be happy to have, and he knows this.Taking their daughter was a real cowardly thing to do, and to me he is less than a man. He does not take care of this child, and I have seen her personally when he left her with his homies. The baby was dirty, unbrushed and had a rash on her behind. Emily is outraged at this, but all she says “god will take care of him,” I personally wish a drive-by would take care of him. But, as we all know anyone with money can do pretty much whatever they want, which is exactly what he is doing. Emily does not have the means to finances as Josh does, he did leave her destitute but it does not bother her. All she wants is to see her daughter and make peace.As far as the grammar, would you be able to write a completely perfect letter if you were too busy crying over your baby every day all day? Come on people give this girl a break, she has been through enough as it is, I’m sure we have all had that one or many bad relationships in our lives. AND NO, SHE IS NOT STILL SLEEPING WITH HIM!!Get your facts straight if you want to talk trash.

What a shame he can’t talk to Emily like a man & tryin come to some agreement.Instead he has set himself up to look like a terrible human being..Your Nba future had just started to improve & now this..How sad Josh!!!.

This will come back and curse him,what goes around also comes back your way.I think this Powell is a D league player and a F league parent.

as a woman I can definitely understand the pain…
HOWEVER… remember there are 3 sides to a story…his, hers, and the truth.
while I can understand many of you posting personal stories that are similar… please remember THIS IS NOT YOUR STORY!
this may not even be true and you are dragging someone’s name through the mud.
there just seems to be something big missing with this story. it doesn’t make sense. it doesn’t make sense that he just stops feeling her and is able to keep her from her child. stuff like that doesn’t happen overnight. prior history shows that judges are more prone to leave the child with the mother.. not saying it happens all the time but more often than not…
take this mess with a grain of salt. it may or may not be true and they both may have some wrongs in this to account for…

Who really cares. Most ball players have no class anyway so is this drama really a surprise-I think not. Second, there are 3 SIDES to every story. Her side, his side and the truth. I’ve known men to be spiteful against women regarding children and in every case the female has proven to be far from innocent.

I just feel sorry for her if this is True. I think it is 2 sides to the story and a Big Part that is missing.Also women do this too men all the Time. That child is not just her child it is his child too. We have to be careful who we sleep with. Whether or not we want to admit it, it is more and more women who are getting pregnant just to get a child support Check.
Their are women who do this to men on a regularly. If he is doing this because of Child support he has the money to get orders with the child support to take a look at her lifestyle. Now if girlfriend was acting like a golddigger and waiting after games in stuff like she got nothing better to do. Karma came back fast on her!Now if girlfriends intention are correct then I pray that she get her daughter back!There are women who wants Child Support but do not want that man no where near that Child and that is not Fair. IF he is paying he should have every right to her as YOU do,sometimes women forgets that. We go off on the MEN but sometimes we needs to take a look at are selves also!Their is women who wants total control over that Child and forget half of that child is part of HIM too.
I belive in Child Support but their is women who gets child support and do use it towards that Child. Their is women who use it for other intention and that is not fair.

People are only hearing one side of the story.. and comming form the girls friend is kinda biased.. she probally the ugly cock blocking friend anyways.. lol. If I were Josh I be fighting hard not to let the baby mama get custody.. it saving him probally a good $million or two a year, times 18 years.. DANG.

and also..we really need to stop taking everything we hear at face value… take the time to think outside the box for a sec…
does it really seem logical that she misses one court proceeding that he supposedly tricked her about and the judge takes away her rights? it had to be a sequence of consistent events. and what difference does it make where he filed the request for custody or how much money he has? she still got the court paper too! she could have fought it and again most judges side with the mother(especially when the father is on the road so much). it happens to these pros all the time and most of their baby mamas aint rollin in dough either without their help. judge still side with them anyway.
it has to be a piece of the story her homegirls are leaving out.
I can appreciate the friends standing tall for her but don’t state half the issue making her out to be mother teresa and him just another no good thug…we got enough media doing that to our brothers.
wait..then again if you are my friend, don’t put my business out there like this on a blog site…
and shame on all of ya’ll that have deemed this man so many ignorant things without a full story. again this is not your story so don’t brand him prematurely cause of what your no good daddy, baby daddy, husband, brother, etc did….
just my 2 cents.. hate it or luv it, I keeps it real….

As for the story above: It is very irresponsible to leave your child with random people. A lot of bad things can happen to children when they are left in the care of random individuals. What happened to children staying with their grandmothers when the parents are busy?

I know Josh is doing right by Patience and that she is in good care, and all you are getting is Emily side of the story which some parts are completely made up. I pray that Patience stays in Josh care; I do think Emily is Bipolar, and using Patience as a source of money. Her friends that are making these statements are all making false statements and are swaying this article to her side. But the thing that bothers me most is you’ll jump on this man for taking care of his daughter, and if this was true about him leaving Patience with strangers, and the baby was dirty and all that mess why didn’t she call Child Protection Services on him I’m sure they would have took a look at the accusations. I’m praying for JP keep your head up and keep doing the right thing,it will all come to the light soon..Just like Emily did..

This story is sssoooo false, It cant b to bitter since he has his beautiful daughter Patience. He has had full custody because she cant take care of a child. People; judges dont just take kids from their parents especially from their mother for just any reason. This girl is wack!!!!. If she wants to see her child she needs to do something with herself and at least attempt to see Patience. They r very happy. Patience is never left with anyone besides his fiance who takes care of Patience 24/7 with Josh. Seems to be very far form a jump off, Seems like Emily was the Jump off! Get your facts straight or dont say anything at all.

I am an unbiased party that knows both Emily and Josh. I am on Joshua’s side of the family however believe that what is right is right and what is wrong, wrong. I hate to say it but Joshua should not have that baby. Not because he is a bad father but because he never spends time with due to his travels and he does leave his baby girl with a lot of different people. Unfortunately all this is actually true. I wanted to believe all those things about Emily too but after getting to know her I can attest that she really is a sweet young lady that really loved my nephew. Sad to say but Joshua has changed a lot and not for the better. He has really let everything go to his head. Joshua is really heart broken that he and Emily didn’t work out and he wants to do the right thing but feels it’s too late because of all the things he has started. He has a lot of pride and fails to realize that he is hurting his daughter more that anything else. He has demanded that all of his family stay out of his business and will not talk to anyone unless they side with him. Like I said I know them both and I can say with all my heart that Emily should have her daughter and Josh needs to swallow his pride and apologize and fix this mess. This has gone too far and maybe this will make Josh sit and think about what he has really done. I love you Josh and hope you get it together.

Now all yall dumb ass bitches betta back the fuck off of Josh before somebody gets hurt before i have to take a trip to Cali. Now try to figure out who the fuck I am! Emily listen get your shit together, by u doing something like this, still isn’t getting your daughter back. Be a women a try to come to some type of agreement for the sake of Patience. Stop listening to your broke ass girlfriends. Just know nobody wouldn’t be able to take my child away from me and i do nothing but blast the father online. You have no life. I guess nobody has been calling you for modeling gigs,there’s always stripping they don’t discriminate. Bitch stop this shit now before I expose you.

Emily would see love to see Patience as often as humanly possible except for the fact that Josh is making her pay the mediator fees. She can not afford to do that because every dime she makes is going to her attorney fees. A sacrifice she has to make in order to pursue this in court. The most contact she has with the baby now is over the telephone & only when Josh chooses to answer her calls. Emily is not concerned with the money. All she wants is her daughter back. He wanted out of the relationship when the panties started flying at him. She was hurt but got over it. But instead of him stepping up to the plate and paying the child support that he ought to, he figures it’s easier to just take the child all together and then pull stunts like showing up for court hearings that she was not made aware of. Therefore, leaving the judge to believe Emily was less than interested and giving him custody. Not to mention whatever lies he told in court to make her out to be a bad mother. THIS IS NOT ABOUT MONEY. This is about a mother not being allowed to see her 1 1/2 year old baby girl. She has always been independent and is willing to raise her daughter without any help from Josh at all. Our family has always stuck together we (her family) all love both Emily and Patience. I wish she had never met that looser. And let’s not come down on Emily’s friends for trying to get her story told by any means necessary. Josh is no big shot player so you won’t hear about this on Access Hollywood. Put yourself in this situation. Wouldn’t you appreciate having friends that would go all out to get your story heard in the hopes of at least gaining the sympathy of other wronged black women, let alone the entire public?

The real victim here is Patience. A child needs its mother.
Especially a female child. I hope they can come to an agreement.
Josh, Have pity on the woman who carried your child for nine months and went through excruciating labor to give you the greatest gift in the world.
Put yourself in Emily’s shoes and relieve a Mother’s Agony!

It’s disgusting what these no good mutherfuckers will do to get out of paying child support. It sounds like he wanted to pay emily what he felt he should be paying, and when she wanted to legally take him to court for what’s really due to the child, then he pulls some shit like that. These dudes ain’t shit.

You just don’t get it do you by telling this story what are yall gaining. Be real friends and family give her the money she needs to get or see her daughter. Yeah that’s what I thought, none of yall have any money. Did Emily forget she came from nothing. She was trying to buy her mom and them a house. I know you know who you told that to Emily. The fact of the matter is you should have just signed the papers. Opps! did you tell your family and girlfriends that. If you wasn’t in it for the money you would have signed the papers dummy. Don’t any of you have a job or do yall do the trickin I mean MODELING thing like Emily does.

I think everyone on here is chosing sides without knowing what’s really going on. Emily why are you letting friends put your business on a blog? Even more so why would you allow someone to put your daughters picture on a blog or if you’re not the bitter party in this situation why did you put a picture of you and Josh? Everyone is missing what this is about, Patience. It’s not about what Josh wants or what Emily wants. I’m sure they’ve been to court mulitple times. Everything doesn’t end after one court appearence. The judge feels to be with Josh is in the best interest of Patience. After reading over these comments, it seems to have been made about Emily being this poor mother who lost custody of her child, but the real fact of the matter is she’s trying to get the support of the public (like her family memeber mentioned above). You can’t just listen to one side of a story. Emily you are wrong on so many levels, and the main wrong you’ve made is placing your daughter’s picture on here. Second trying to get the support of the public by lying. People remember when there is a court date or hearing both party’s are served with papers! Both parties are informed about everything. No one is left in the DARK! If you can’t make it, all it takes is a phone call. So let’s analize this outside of the box. Maybe you guys should be thankful a man is finally stepping up to the plate, and taking a stand. A man has to show eviedince to back himself, all a mother has to do is say I’M HER MOTHER. It’s sad but it’s society. Trust me if Josh has custody, JOSH HAD TO HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH EVIDENCE SHE WASN’T DOING WHAT SHE SHOULD BE DOING AS A MOTHER. This is a sad story, but the sadest part is that she tried to get support on a gossip web sight. If this was really true she wouldn’t have to come on here. No one else will obviously support her, because everything sounds so untrue.

Why would we be mad if she gets her daughter. That’s on them. And so what if you think Josh is a D list player. He must be a damn good player he played the hell out of Emily’s dumb ass. Even if he goes oversees he will still be gettin money. But if money isn’t the issue here why do you keep bringing it up Goldiggers. Why don’t she just get a job! And who cares about Josh credit. Good credit bad credit you still need money.Emily you should wish the best for him. The less money he gets the less you get if you get custody dummy.

Im not an expert on relations, nor am I an expert on women, but I am an expert on manhood. My father was a man, my uncles were men, my grandfather is a man. Having a penis doesnt make you a man mentally maybe physically. Alot of times when a male is making large amounts of money as the case with Josh, that male gets a huge ego. He feels like theres no woman he cant have, etc. The simple fact of that matter is that sometimes us men we DO realize a good woman when we see one, BUT were just not ready for that type of relationship because we want to go out and do our thing with no limitation. Josh just wanted to be single, thats why he left Emily. It wasn’t nothing she did, its just he has money and a little bit of fame and he wants to enjoy that. The bad thing is, its that you tear up a family in the process. Listen the only reason I can possibly see a man fighting this hard and taking the incredible steps he’s taking is to simply avoid paying the high child support that he would have to pay. I’m a man, I know men, so Josh cant fool me, I know the real. I was raised around celebrities, I was raised around that type of lifestyle, and I definitely know what money can do to a person, and how it can tear a family up. I know the truth will come out eventually and Patience will go home to her mother where she belongs. Remember one key thing everyone. According to the reports Josh left Emily and the baby. If Emily was a gold digger like some one of you said she was dont you think she would have left him along time ago and got him for child support..Come on now people think about it…Im out

A judge would never give full custody to a father over a mother unless there is strong evidence that a mother isn’t doing her job…especially with Josh being a professional basketball player that travels 70% out of the year that just should never happen…but it did so that says a lot about your parental skills EMILY!!!
