So Gabrielle Union got the bright idea…and audacity…to publish her whole take on the public judging the Chris Henry situation and Tiger Woods scandal. Honestly, I have no clue what she’s talking about where Chris Henry is concerned as all that has been reported–and what commenters on the internets have said–are purely the facts of the fatal situation. So it sounds like she just felt like getting some attention.
But Ms. Union even speaking on the dos and don’ts about what’s “right” when speaking about relationships is laughable at best. Please check out what everyone’s favorite holier-than-thou-mistress-turned-#1- girlfriend had to say….
Today we lost another young, talented, black man. Like so many men and women in this world, Chris Henry had seen his share of trouble and adversity…and just like so many other men and women in this world, he realized it’s never too late to turn your life around. How many more lives need to be lost before we realize that as good Christians (as many of us like to call ourselves), spiritual beings or just plain old good folks we need to STOP THE JUDGEMENT and try to lift each other up when we’ve fallen off the path.
Why are we all so quick to stop looking in the mirror at our own troubled lives…bad credit, lack of education or job skills, poor choices with the opposite sex, trying to live like Diddy when our homes are getting foreclosed, gossiping, jealous ranting or hating, or even not communicating with loved ones…its soooooo much easier to be obsessed with Tiger and Elin than dealing with our own troubled relationships…why get counseling for your daddy/mama/brother sister/relationship issues when we can hunt down a distraught woman and her 2 young children like animals??!! Why worry about how to pay for healthcare when we can laugh and joke about Lindsey Lohan. Journalists COULD do their jobs and sift through fact from what’s in the National Inquirer but why when it’s sooooooo much easier to print lies/half truths or straight up fairy tales to sell newspapers or magazines…forget about journalistic integrity when you’ve got to compete with the internet…who needs truth and compassion when we can’t wait for the next senseless tragedy or starlet scandal??!!
More when you read the rest…
When will we come together and demand more from ourselves…more love and less hate…more fact finding than dirt digging…more lifting each other up and figuring out a way for life to improve than kicking people when they’re down…hold yourself to the same high standards we set for people on TV that we’ll never meet and don’t put food on our tables…be the person you always wanted to be…I’d like to think we were all born inherently good and on occasion make mistakes…stop looking in your neighbor’s backyard or Tigers’ or the girl who got the guy you liked or the dude who got the promotion you thought you deserved…we can only control ourselves…KEEP LOOKING IN THE MIRROR…that’s where the answers are that can truly change your life. In fact, lemme get off this damn blackberry and help my niece figure out how we’re gonna pay for college next year…tiger can’t help me with that…that’s all me :) peace and love and many blessings!!!

What kills me is that Ms. Union’s whole premise was about people “doing better” with their personal relationships. And how people should stop lying about others’ relationships and do their job of journalistic integrity. This so-called advice she gave is highly ironic seeing that her own current relationship came stemmed from cheating and lies. And it’s already been proven several times on this site alone. I’m honestly in shock how certain celebs have the balls to speak on the things they speak on. So this whole little rant gets a GIRL….STOP.
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:19 PM
I see where she’s coming from, but word??
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:21 PM
1st. I could care less, she can still get it
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:24 PM
Gabby BABY BYE!!!!!

2ND UR DATING A MARRIED MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
U need to do better and Keep ur legs closed untill the man is DIVORCED!!!
GOOD DAY!!!!
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:24 PM
Girl shut the hell up, and stop fucking with “separated” men Ms. Gabrielle Keys!! You got a lot of nerves telling people what they should and shouldn’t do. Is this what you do in your spare time when people are giving away acting roles to people like Beyonce??? If it is, I’ll go and tell them to stop, cause you have no room to come up in here trying to counsel folks!!! The time that you just spent giving that useless statement, is time you could have taken to look for a job!!! i don’t like talking bad about you, but I felt I had to say that!
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:26 PM
Ummm……girl please, if it wasnt for the blog sites would your ass still be relevant?? What was the last movie she was in? What is your life abbout??! NEXT!
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:27 PM
I think that that her post is pretty positive.
I won’t let her personal decisions take away from her intent, especially bc I don’t think that anyone woman can STEAL another woman’s husband. Every one is so upset because Wade is still married but I know that a divorce can take longer when lots of money or even children are involved. It’s not as easy as signing on the dotted line then. Oh wells, enough of the YBF for the day, looking forward to focusing on me and mine this weekend.
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:27 PM
I whole heartedly agree with what she said. Bump who she is, or what she’s done. I don’t really care. But I do agree that this media frenzy is meant as a distraction from the things that really matter in this world today. It’s sad to see how we’re all so dependent on it. It’s crazy… i’m just sayin………..
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:29 PM
It’s amazing that she wrote this actually. Maybe the babies that she has been gargling and swallowing from Mr. Wade are making her more educated.
Other than that here are my choice words for her if she is reading: Go back on your knees and do what you do best you thirsty bitch. You of all people have the damn nerve.
Oh yeah, Merry Christmas and I hope you figure out how to pay your niece’s tuition, maybe you can teach her how to snag, um I mean steal a baller. Dumb airheaded bald headed bitch. SMFH
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:32 PM
I see where she is coming from. Her heart is in the right place. She ain’t sayin she is perfect. And married or not you never know a person’s situation at home. Sure one may be married, but the marriage may have been over long ago, and what we see on the outside is far from whats REALLY goin on.
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:33 PM
if she were on a movie set…..she wouldn’t have the time to write this little diddty?!
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:34 PM
Everything she said was on point tho…
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:34 PM
it’s always the people who are doing wrong that are first to give advice gabrielle #hoesitdown.
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:36 PM
Though was she was saying is very truthful, it’s a wack ass diversion of getting ppl off her and onto the next whatever. Nice try Gabrielle but you failed. I’ll give you a ‘Dwayne’ oops–meant a ‘D’ for effort. This should have come from someone else. Maybe your neice should have written it and choose Journalism as her major, since we know you will support her!

I LOVE YOU NATASHA!!!! =)
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:39 PM
I agree with everything gabby said! does’nt matter who she is or what she is doing… None of us know about her and wades relationship. him and he’s wife relationship was probably over long ago. Just because their still married does’nt mean they are still “in-love”. The media distracts us from the truth which is totally true. So I dont know why people are trying to knock her Fa real.
Fri, December 18, 2009 1:44 PM
Some of you are missing Gabrielle’s point. The point is for people to live their own lives and stop judging others. Even if she is dating a married man that is her business. Not one person on this site is without sin. Anyone who spends their life judging and worring about what others are doing is a waste of space on this earth. You have no reason to even exist, so do us all a favor and take a whole bottle of sleeping pills!!!
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:22 PM
I see that at least 2 comments on this board were written by gabby herself. lmao
anywho…talk about the pot calling the kettle black, not because she’s with a married man but because she’s doing EXACTLY what she’s telling us not to do. TELLING OTHER PPL HOW TO LIVE!!! SHE GETS THE ULTIMATE FAIL 4 THIS ONE. LMAO
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:24 PM
Wow… Based off of some of the comments one would think that you know this woman personally OTHERWISE one could easily assume that you are a contakerous individual with no valid reasons.
Her blog/statement/comments are valid whether we practice what we preach. Do we need to hear this SAME comment from someone deemed “respectable”? Some of these “comments/opinions” validate her point! “Girrrlll, I heard/read so & so did this, said that, was seen with such & such, blah blah blah”. Okay, that’s when it’s time to stop, back up, and calm the hell down.
I can understand disagreeing with someone’s ideas, etc.. But why the malicious undertones? Come on people.. We can do better.
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:28 PM
Gabby is a groupie who betrays to be better than others; Ive seen her in action. She needs to sit down and take an acting class.
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:28 PM
What she said is true. Period. Regardless of what she did or is still doing, we don’t know what she has to go through at home. And it’s really not any of our business. So don’t get sidetracked on who the message came from. Take in the message.
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:29 PM
she is absolutley right but of course you gave everyone an oppinion so they would agree with you (ybf). your not real journalist (tmz didn’t report on pleasure p without fact checking)but you make money off of them like you are, you need them just like they need you.
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:32 PM
Gabby always goes on these little rants. Whatever girl please stop! Tiger is a celebrity and people are gonna gossip about his “transgressions” so save time and quit with the rants lol
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:33 PM
don’t discount the advice that comes from those who are actively doing wrong.
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:35 PM
IS THIS U GABBY.?? LOL…
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:36 PM
When a relationship is over its done !
Whether one or both parties agree its still OVER !
No one owns or controls anyone…Its a shame if children are involved but trust me over time they heal too.
Our outrage should be placed on more meaningful things.
Not what 2 consenting adults are doing.
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:37 PM
I see the point Gabrielle is stressing in her commentary. It is true that people need to worry about their own household and not judge others off of their mistakes. It is also true that the media lack journalism integrity morals…partly to distract us from our own problems and to manipulate ours minds. I don’t, however, agree with the tactics Gabrielle used to get her point acrossed. Attacking people’s inabilities on their career levels and education are just as negative as judging people. She was wrong for that and should retract her comments from the public because that will shine a BAD light on her from fans who support her and her career.
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:41 PM
VERY WELL PUT I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT GABBY WAS TRYING TO SAY. WE HAVE ALL SINNED AND ALL HAVE SKELETONS IN OUR CLOSET, HOWEVER PEOPLE DECIDE TO LIVE THEIR LIFE IS THEIR BUSINESS WHO OUR WE TO JUDGE LET THE MAN UPSTAIRS DEAL WITH THAT SITUATION, WHO FREAKING CARES THAT’S THEIR BUSINESS.
LOVE GABBY! DON’T CARE ABOUT HER PERSONAL LIFE. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED AND VERY INTELLIGENT.

THAT PART STOOD OUT TO ME TO! WHO DOES SHE THINK SUPPORTS HER CAREER??? I WONDER HOW MANY HARVARD GRADS WATCH TYLER PERRY MOVIES (NO OFFENSE TO MR PERRY AT ALL) BUT COME ON IT’S CALLED THE SPOTLIGHT FOR A REASON, IF SHE, TIGER WOODS AND WHOMEVER ELSE DON’T LIKE IT, THEY SHOULD STEP OUT OF IT.
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:44 PM
Natasha seriously, stop being so judgmental. What she is saying is very true. You make it seem like this site is not like every other blog spitting out gossip. NEWSFLASH, gossip has a way of twisting facts. Whatever the case may be her whole statement has validity points. People focus so much more on the negative than on the positive. The only thing I can commend this site on is not bombarding us with T.Wood’s news, you know being that he ain’t “black.”
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:51 PM
for the same reason, accenture and gillette have withdrawn their support of tiger is pretty much the same reason people have a problem with the gabrielle union’s message. she has lost her credibility with the audience she’s trying to reach. is it a message to uplift black america or a message to take some of the glare from her behavior?
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:52 PM
I think that Gabby meant well but this message is just hard to take coming from her. In a way she kinda of selfish to be involved with a man who is still married and has children. It’s disrespectful to them because until that man is divorced he is still married! There is no excuse for this because she could have waited until he go this stuff straight with his wife. As for D Wade if he wanted his marriage to be over he would do what needs to be done and get it over with but because he wants to fight with the mother of his children over money and other things it delays the process. But Ms. Union needs to do the right thing and leave this man alone until he handles his business.
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:53 PM
Tell the truth… I was just thinking the same thing, mediocre actress at best. I think her last movie was the Christmas movie with usual black cast doing the usual romantic comedy, go somewhere other than the king size bed she’s probably blogging from that D.Wade used to share with his current wife Siohvaughn
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:53 PM
HILARIOUS! I can’t….
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:54 PM
I agree wholeheartedly with her. We are all too obsessed with celebrity lives and what they deal with. We all are guilty of jumping to conclusions and standing behind our beliefs like we really know these people personally, because we’re fans of their work. We tend to forget that they are regular people and just because they have more money and fame, think they have it all together, so when one of them does something wrong (i.e. Britney, Chris, Tiger, Lindsay,the list goes on) we destroy them in the media to gain more publicity and to make the “everyday people” like ourselves feel better about our lives.
I feel very bad for those that have to deal with that type of publicity because no matter what they do to redeem themselves, we still hate them (i.e Chris Brown, etc) We never wanna let it go, and have no remorse because we’re all secretly jealous that they have so much, when most of us don’t. So we act like, “how dare they do stupid things, they’re rich” Being rich and wealthy doesn’t mean you’re smart or always have the right people around you who have your best interest at heart (i.e Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole, etc.) Trust me when I say, the higher up you go in any industry the more corruption you see. I just pray they all can get it together because with a great gift, that many of them posses comes a great responsible. So ask yourselves, if you were in their shoes (seriously) what would you do? How would your life really be, especially if you have people around you waiting, watching and hoping you fail and fall out of the public’s favor.
Sorry for the long note, but it’s just a thought I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
Fri, December 18, 2009 2:54 PM
I don’t agree with Gabrielle’s antics at all.
But do any of you notice that Tasha is going IN on Gabrielle yet, when you read Alicia Key’s post and she’s clearly a homewrecker too you don’t get this much animosity from Tasha?
If you are going to go IN on Gabby, go in on ALICIA too when it comes to her posts. They are both trying to preach the gospel that they clearly aren’t living with their behaviors. Don’t just limit it to one person, just because it’s “holier than though” Keys. You only say tsk tsk to her, but go OFF on Gabrielle. Go in on BOTH, because they both deserve it.

Wen i saw this yesterday…..i thought the same thing…..smh
we know she reads the blog natasha….i’m sure she’ll respond
Fri, December 18, 2009 3:09 PM
I agree with Gabby 100%. Her rant wasn’t about Tiger and doing the right things in relationships, etc. It was about people worrying less about what others are doing, and focusing more on self-improvement and taking care of our own lives.
Tasha, if you didn’t grasp that from her letter, then obviously you’re someone that needs to take heed to that message, as well as your readers and “followers.”
Fri, December 18, 2009 3:13 PM
I totally agree with her, but I think she’s being a little hypocritical. When stars are doing good things they expect us to ooo and awww, but when they’re doing bad things things they don’t want us to judge. Like someone posted earlier, you either want the spotlight or not. If you don’t then go somewhere and sit down like Tia and Tamara. They’ve managed to be good people, and I still watch The Game, repeats and all.
Fri, December 18, 2009 3:28 PM
Gossiping about celebs doesn’t indicate you are obsessed with their lives. People log onto message boards chat about it and then you know what? They STILL go pay their mortgage and pick up their kids and etc. Gossiping about things doesn’t indicate you are not dealing with your own business.
Celebs can’t have it both ways: They want to be ALL IN YOUR FACE when they have a new movie coming out, or song on the chart or effort to promote, but then when their dirty underwear get exposed it’s “let me have my privacy.” You want privacy? Leave a PUBLIC business. Otherwise shut up and continuing collecting millions off those people you are venting about.
Fri, December 18, 2009 3:29 PM
When she stop sucking off someone else husband then she can talk.
PRICE
SOMEONE GET HER A JOB….PLEASE
PRICE OF FAME.. GET OVER IT DID NOT START WITH THIS GENERATION. STOP BEING SLUTS AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM.. I HATE FAKE HOLY ROLLERS.
Fri, December 18, 2009 3:32 PM
this was her time to sit and be quiet. she should have been glad she wasn’t the one in the spotlight this time…yet she draws it back to her. not smart ms. union. not smart.
Fri, December 18, 2009 3:36 PM
I think that these celebrities, especially our people have a lot of audacity and need to grow up. First of all, the media was/is/will be a machine and that’s ok when they want the fame or attention. Like celebrities going to restaurants that are paparazi hotsopts or like Ms. Union writing a post like this. What bothers me most is that– if it were not for blogs and print– she would not be where she is– when is the last time you’ve seen Ms. Union at the Oscars. It’s just like Tyra Banks saying we all need to go natural. I do believe that people are too stuck on superficial things but lets be real. For anyone who hasn’t had a hit since 7th Heaven or makes a living off of my hard earned dollar to tell me I need to mind my own business–that’s foolish! (fanning myself with tabloid collection)

Fri, December 18, 2009 3:55 PM
OH SHUT UP, WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS????????????? blogging is all in the name of fun & money for some. some1 is getting their bread and butter from it, journalist get their money from writing that crap and its just crap. all she had to say is what most celebs do say, “not everything u read is true”. she should write a damn letter to tiger wood’s sponsers that are dropping him, not the damn normal people who just read and opinionate. no1 is denying that journalist do take it far and tell lies and ruin some of these celeb’s life, but its all about the type of person u are and how much u let it consume u. obviously she’s consumes with something!
and she must be on the sites too or reading the ENQUIRER (bitch cant spell tryna look all intelligent) to know about all the “negativity”… we all know she’s mad about wht people say about her. because she is part of the elite, the black folk that are rich and better off and different from every1 else. if there were no tabloids, gossip site/mag half (i said HALF) of these celebs wouldn’t be as relevant. i dont let celeb affairs consume my life at all, im sure no1 here does, but its fun and kind of a release to just voice ur opinion on things. even when discussions get heated, im sure we dont go away feeling upset about it.
im not 1 to throw the title “homewrecker” around, i dont know bout gabby life and 2 b honest i dont give a damn about her IMO she just ooozes arrogance. who the hell is she genralising bloggers makin out as if all of us are stuggling with bad credit, uneducated, in debt, bad relationships. im sure there are a few talented or successful people that simply like to join in on the fun.
she just gave me even more reason to dislike her
Fri, December 18, 2009 4:01 PM
I dont know much about her personal life but I dont even really give a shxt waht she is saying is 1000% true. Plus with the whole Chris Henry thing…idk what he did but he has had some personal struggles he’s had to over come according to his teammates but he had overcome most of them. I am not sure what they were exactly but I do know he had been benched like 5 times in the past 3 years for somethings he’s done…I do think they need to leave Him and Tiger alone….let them live their lives…they make mistakes just like all of yall so please just let them AND their Family’s be.
Fri, December 18, 2009 4:18 PM
One, I think people need to remember that we don’t know what was going on in the Wade marriage before he started messing with Gabby – Most, if not all, of these dudes cheat so it ain’t fair to label her a homewrecker because Dwayne is with her now – I suspect he was dipping in a whole lot of other honeypots before hers but obviously fell in love and stayed with Gabby. Two, let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater, her point was ultimately about people jumping to judgment – her statements are perfectly valid regardless of what you think you know about her personal life. Three, it’s an opinion people, everyone is entitled to offer one, some of y’all are getting riled up on this site like she called your mama out her name or something – relax and breathe!
Fri, December 18, 2009 4:18 PM
but isn’t she passing judgement on others by judging that they are judging? LOL i’m sorry but I had to. i hear what she is trying to say, but her point may be lost to others given her situation. she and a.keys put on their big girl suits and feel its ok to trollop around town and be all cheesy in pictures with a man who is still married. of course we don’t know the circumstances other than….swizz and dwade are still married. so as big girls they have to know that many would not respect their choices, and rightfully so. i see it as this, if its true love and connection, it will definitely still be there once they get those papers signed…no relationship, physical or otherwise should be had with a married man until then. they broke a real woman’s code. i really hate that a.keys did that because it made me no longer a fan…didn’t take away from her talent as a musician, but i won’t buy her music now because i don’t reward people with so many resources available to them when they are morally bankrupt
Fri, December 18, 2009 4:20 PM
I find it very ironic (if not funny) that the same people that “agree” with Gabrielle are the same people on this blog (and I’m sure this isn’t the only blog you visit) to get some celebrity gossip or find out what going on in other peoples lives. Chile please…SMDH
Fri, December 18, 2009 4:21 PM
and Gabby, Miss perfect, no1 cares that your neice is going to college, u couldve ended ur little lecture without trying to make urself sound like such a great woman coz ur gonna “figure out how 2 pay for her fees”. do u want a round of applause that ur gonna focus ur attention for an hour or 2 on that?? realising “tiger” wont help you… oh please, every1, give her a standing ovation!!!!!!
now on2 the more important things, those college fees, how tricky, now…
is her family scraping the money together?
will her neice get a loan?
are YOU gonna pay for them? cash? check? debit/credit card?
does any1 care… no
tryna make people feel less important, i applied for university and sorted out my fees whilst engaging in the fun of bloggin in my spare time, and im doing just fine bitch. she talks so much self rightous shit. cant stand her
Fri, December 18, 2009 4:24 PM
Very nice post.agree with everything you said 100%.
Fri, December 18, 2009 4:26 PM
The comments (including Natasha’s angry comments at being called out) just show that she is exactly right. Even theYBF went from being the place to read about the latest parties, fashions, see pics of beautiful people, etc. to a place where you’re reading shaq’s emails and transcriptions of tigers voicemails and somebody else’s court docs. Pointing out Gabby’s relationaship issues is doing exactly what she talked about…judging and pointing fingers like you’re perfect…and it’s doing so when you don’t even know the whole story. I liked Gabby’s statement.

Fri, December 18, 2009 4:34 PM
Yes, they want to be in your face when they have a project coming out…PROMOTING that project. It’s what they do, it’s their work. Of course they want you to see their art (music, movies, tv shows, clothing lines, etc…), does that mean they should also want you in their PERSONAL lives? No. Just cause you work the counter at walgreens doesn’t mean every customer that comes in has a right to know who you’re dating and when your baby is due and if his divorce was finalized before you met him. Their work is in the public eye, that doesn’t mean their entire lives have to be. These are not politicians…the two (work and personal life) are not directly related. They are people, flaws and all. (BTW, I say politicians because yes, we have a right to know if our senator, who’s making decisions that affect OUR lives, lacks integrity or doesn’t know how to manage money. Not the case for Usher or Tiger.)
Fri, December 18, 2009 4:43 PM
Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with what she has said and I agree wholeheartedly about the media thing. It’s amazing that people get paid to actually find out dirt on others and exploit them. If it were me who had cheated, others would know, but it would not be on a worldwide venue like it has been for Tiger Woods. Gabrielle and all of the other stars are only doing what they have been gifted by God to do – act, sing, play golf, basketball, football, etc. Society has celebritized them and put them on a pedestal. They are human and have faults, habits, vices and flaws like everyone else. I don’t see her as being hypocritical. To me, she was only expressing how it feels to be the topic of everyone’s scrutiny. Granted, she may be with a married man, but no one really knows the real deal but her and Dwayne. Yes, you can find out things from other people who may have an “inside” scoop, but really, this is still second-handed information. Only she, Dwayne and God know the real truth.
Get up off the of the girl and give her some slack. You don’t know what lessons she has learned through choices that she has made.
Fri, December 18, 2009 4:43 PM
You are buying a product…a song, a movie pass, whatever. That’s what the millions are made from. They are not selling you a seat on their sofa and shame on you for feeling like they should. You buy music or go to the movies, you get entertained, they get paid. Anything more is asking too much of these people. Celbrities were making millions before Bloggers started investigating and reporting on their personal lives. Do you feel cheated by Anita Baker or Denzel Washington if you don’t know enough about their private lives? I doubt our mothers felt that way in the days pre media excess and internet.
Fri, December 18, 2009 4:54 PM
“Chile please”. You ain’t saying nothing. Point? We’re bored. We read what’s out here. I also read ACTUAL news sites, realtionship blogs, fashion sites, etc. I mainly like seeing what folks are wearing and whatnot. I’d be fine without knowing who’s laying whom but still knowing if they’re wearing LV or DVF or when their new album comes out and where they did a show last night.

WHERE WAS ALL THE OUTRAGE IN BLACK HOLLYWOOD WHEN A TEENAGE 19 YEAR OLD BOY CHRIS BROWN WAS TRYING TO DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST A CARIBBEAN COON???
WHEN EVIL DOING FOREIGN B8TCHES LIKE SWEDE ELIN, AND AFRICAN TONGA SAW AMERICANS SO EAGER TO JUMP ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT ANY PROOF IT GAVE THEM THE COURAGE TO DO WHAT THEY BEEN WANTING TO DO.
SO EVERYONE WHO JUMPED ON THE, HANG THE BOY BANDWAGON, FOR A SLAP THAT DIDN’T EVEN RESULT IN A HOSPITAL STAY, ARE HAVING THEIR CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST.
WHEN THE SWEDE GETS AWAY WITH ATTACKING TIGER, AND THIS AFRICAN TONGA GETS AWAY WITH MURDER, THERE WILL BE MORE AND MORE ATTACKS ON RICH BLACK AMERICAN NEGROES. JUST WATCH.

Gabrielle ios saying something positive but who cares – she should be glad somebody is saying something about her on the blogs she trys to show such a great disdain for. She is ridiculous. Girl try to get hollywood to stop casting you in the same damn role every movie every three years.

I feel you. But marriage is a legal and breakable contract to many. Most folks marry in a courthouse, not a church nowadays. It has a lot to do with things that ain’t holy…like money, property, medical rights and tax breaks. Not every one is Christian…or religious at all for that matter. I mean, a lot folks feel it’s over when they say it is. Move on and let the law catch up. Sure he feels it was done when he/she moved out. I been there.
Fri, December 18, 2009 5:10 PM
Blah blah blah…at the end of the day, YOU choose to become famous…to be a celebrity. YOU choose to chase after the limelight. HOWEVER….YOU CAN CONTROL THE LEVEL OF PRIVACY IN YOUR LIVES. There are certain celebrities you will NEVER hear or read about because they KNOW HOW TO KEEP THEIR BUSINESS PRIVATE!!! It’s amazing when certain folks complain but are the first one’s posing for the camera. The media’s attention has nothing to do with Chris Henry’s unfortuante death. GIRL BYE!
Fri, December 18, 2009 5:15 PM
People do need to mind their business, but public figures’ (ie, Gabby, Tiger, A Keys, & Swizzle, etc) business is not thier own. It is OURs – the public’s. So Gabby… Go sit down on D.Wade & be glad we aren’t talking about YOU!!
Fri, December 18, 2009 5:18 PM
You need to see somebody about your situation.
Fri, December 18, 2009 5:28 PM
Half of you on here sound dumb ass hell. How many of you on here slept with a married man/woman? How many of you on here have/is cheating on you spouse/significant other? How many of you on here has been violent towards another verbally/mentally/physically/emotionally? How many have been through abuse? How many wish they were in these celebs shoes? How many are jealous of what these celebs have? I am sure a lot of you can relate. Her message was positive and I agree with her %100000000…not only did ya’ll do exactly what she said in her statement, but ya’ll proved her right. Talking dead on her relationship and the stupid person that commented on her niece going to school, she only said it to prove that she has better things to do, such as take care of her family. Duhhhhhhhhhh…..
Fri, December 18, 2009 5:31 PM
This was a woman who was runing around with a married man while his wife was preggers. Thats a big truth right there.
It almost sounds like she’s mad that folks went hard on her on blogs, so she’s telling folks to mind there business, and worry about there own lives…but using the tiger situation to do so. Nothing she says holds no credibility. This would mean more if it came from someone else…jmo
Fri, December 18, 2009 5:32 PM
And to those that constantly speaking on her personal and sex life…..ya’ll the man ones getting down and bout aint got shit to show for it. She does…..and its called a career and money. Now get a life with ya’ll negative asses.
Fri, December 18, 2009 5:34 PM
Preach Gabby! She is telling the truth and why can’t she date a separated man??? If he is in the process of a divorce that is fine…yall need to grow the EFF up…aint nobody putting romanace/love/happiness on hold for some legal technicality…stop trying to tear her down!

So what if she telling people to mind their own damn business she has every right too. Her personal life should be able to stay personal. I feel soooo sorry for these celebs because they life get put on blast for shit they do and get criticized by people thats doing worst shit then they are. We are all human and have emotions. When I get on this site it is to see the pictures/music and events, not to learn about the latest rumor that shit does not faze me and it’s getting kind of old.

And you have definitely missed the point by suggesting someone kill themself. SMDH.
Fri, December 18, 2009 5:59 PM
Gabby is speaking nothing but the truth and all of you know it. Just because someone has made a mistake doesn’t mean that every thing that comes out of their mouths can no longer be true. And just because you bought a ticket to her last movie her read about her on the blogs, doesn’t mean that you have a inside ticket to her personal life and know anything more about her than the man on the moon.
Fri, December 18, 2009 6:09 PM
Who is this byatch to dictate censorship to us.
We have ebery right to discuss whatever under the first amendment, just as she has every right not to read it.
Hollyweird needs to learn that it can’t have it both ways. If we’re not talking or discussing, they are irrelevant. And if she wants more quality and seriousness in the media, she needs to take her issues to the heads of the major networks. I mean, she is in that industry.
Fri, December 18, 2009 6:31 PM
Homewrecker or not, she’s still speaking the truth! Journalists of today’s generation have turned the business into a complete joke.Do you even NEED a degree for the trash that gets printed as “news”?!! The blogosphere is out of control because everyone is competing for the biggest and best story, whether it’s true or false. SMH
Fri, December 18, 2009 6:32 PM
I am going to say this one more again. NO ONE can steal a spouse or wreck a home. It is not possible. Only the 2 people in the marriage can cuase it to end. And yes I have been there. I was married and found out my ex was cheating 8 months into the marriage. Yet because I wanted to do what the Bible said, I stuck it out and was miserable for 6 long damn years. The God that I serve would never want me to live miserably just in the name of being married. I am all for “trying” to live by the word but when it is all said and done as long as we all get ourselves squared away with God that is all that matters.
So Gabby may have fallen in love with a DWade at the wrong time. So is she now supposed to stop being in love with him b/c the world doesn’t like it? That is STUPID. That choice is b/t her and God. Not her and the media/fans. And like I said I have been on both sides and would never blame a woman for mine or my ex’s faults. We all play a part in the demise of our marriages and it is about time that we start taking some responsibilty and stop blaming others.
Fri, December 18, 2009 6:33 PM
She said some good and positive and very true stuff and summa you fools can’t even stop judging and pointing fingers for two minutes to read and truly understand what she was trying to convey. There are way too many here who need to fuking get it together because you’re pulling the rest down and we can’t continue to keep claiming you sorry motherfukers…

She’s right, too many people are so quick to judge other people abt how they are living their lives, without stopping to look in the mirror to see how we are living our own lives. We need to stop being so judgmental, and understand these people are human too.
Fri, December 18, 2009 6:40 PM
FINALLY….someone with some damn sense on tnis site. thanks for sharing your story….and i hope you have moved on to a better situation!
Fri, December 18, 2009 6:59 PM
Just because my blog keeps me informed of all of the gossip I Need to know! doesn’t mean I will judge my celebrities harsly because of it, Sure the gossip is what it is about Gabby but Hay she is talking real and I have to say I agree I don’t look to the sites on the internet for anything other than entertainment. and it makes the grade. Relationships have systoms of disease like side lovers, loud voices, and money issues when you have those, consider your only two choices. Stay or leave, blame game means your game isn’t walking.
Fri, December 18, 2009 7:24 PM
I agree 100%!!!
Fri, December 18, 2009 7:32 PM
I COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER NICOLE….GIRL STOP!!!!! AND HAVE A SEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fri, December 18, 2009 7:51 PM
I cannot stand GABRIELLE UNION. Never have, never will. My opinions of her have always been negative; her personality alone grinds my gears. And, I must say, as someone that DOESN’T keep up with the ins and outs of celebrity life (I just started reading YBF the other day AND I still only SKIM through here), I am only now finding out about her alleged, tawdry affair with D. Wade.
I said all of that to say, as I was about to read this “scandalous” post (as the author really HYPED up the drama w/ the title), I was prepared to add another reason to the “why I hate Gabby” list. However, I didn’t read anything that was NEGATIVE or UNTRUE. My only problem is that she’s coming off WAY TOO PREACHY and condescending (but that could’ve just been her genuine anger w/ all of this). While I don’t care for her, her points are valid and TRUE–despite what you’ve THINK she’s done w/ D. Wade. Folks are so judgmental when THEIR life/actions AREN’T on every blog, website, or Twitter TT for the WORLD TO SEE. I’m sure if some of your SCANDAL was blasted you’d still want people to take you and YOUR OPINIONS seriously. Despite what you’ve done in life, you’re still entitled to OPINIONS. You either take it or leave it…
On a similar note, what is the author’s anger w/ Gabrielle Union?! You wrote this with so much animosity. Ultimately I was disappointed with you for being so negative towards something that is so true. *smh* Come on, folks.
Sincerely,
#1 Gabby Union hater
Fri, December 18, 2009 8:01 PM
GIRRRRLLLL U BETTA PREACH!
shes so right
Fri, December 18, 2009 8:03 PM
I agree wholeheartedly with Gabby-she didn’t speak out of turn with anything! AND BTW-what did she say about Chris Henry that was inappropriate?? The guy HAD been arrested five times and had just made a statement about how he was done with the extra women, the drugs and the partying and he was going to be a better man. That’s what she alluded to when she said he had just turned his life around.
Truthfully, I think this site/creator/writer is just BUTT-HURT because awhile back she said something negative against ‘black gossip sites’. Honestly, Chris Brown beat RIhann’s face like a dang Pinnata, and this site STAYS encouraging him or at least being non-judgemental. Yet you all act like Gabrielle can’t open her mouth?? WHY? I value the instution of marriage as much as anyone, but Dwayne was already SEPARATED when they were together.
Even if they weren’t, when are u all going to let that mess go?? Wasn’t Kimora Lee PREGNANT while she & Russ were still legally wed? I don’t see any judgement from this site to her & Djimon. WTH YBF?? YOU NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER.
Fri, December 18, 2009 8:30 PM
I agree!! btw what she said was vey relevant about the football player! he was always in trouble finally turned his self around.
Fri, December 18, 2009 8:36 PM
Who is you and why are you asking me this?
Fri, December 18, 2009 8:38 PM
Wait…wasn’t she suppose to be a producer of a show based on the stories of ex-wives, ex-girlfriends of superstars, athletes, and entertainers or something like that? So if people watched then wouldn’t she be profiting from people being interested in the lives of celebrities and their relationships just like the tabloids and journalists she’s complaining about? Don’t shows like that encourage people to pass judgement on celebrities and their choices?
Fri, December 18, 2009 9:15 PM
i hope that there will be a backlash when it comes to the media. I feel like the entertainment shows and mainstream media helped to destroy the marriage of tiger woods. there is an absurd amount of interest in others lives. nothing is off limit. we should feel insulted that this is what the media is feeding us. i predict the downfall of twitter. people religiously following others is ludicrous. however, i think gabby is upset because she has such a tarnished image, which has interfered with her being hired. for this reason, she has seen her movie roles decrease and she relates this to the gossip sites. for those who may ask: why are you on this site. I enjoy the beautiful pictures, but i dont want to know about every negative moment in there lives.

Fri, December 18, 2009 11:04 PM
Completely agree. Some people need to learn to comprehend before making comments. Basically she’s saying there’s more important things in life than gossip, and whether people like or hate her it makes perfect sense.
Fri, December 18, 2009 11:09 PM
What some of you including the Ms. Blogger herself need to realize is that we don’t know if Gabby or Alicia were mistresses, we don’t know what happened between Tiger and his wife and honestly its none of our buisness. We all have skeletons in our closets so none of us can judge one another.
Fri, December 18, 2009 11:16 PM
I find it very funny that a person in such a situation as she, would try to give everyone advice on living better…Girl did you not know, while writing this, that you & your “man” were the cause of a broken household. Just because you have money does not mean you are not held accountable for the choices you have made. I hope one day she or Dwyane realize that what they did/are doing is wrong on so many levels. Until then Gabby just needs to keep her home wrecking mouth shut and not try to give anyone some advice.
Fri, December 18, 2009 11:21 PM
It is true that the public thrives on celebrity gossip. It is also true that we all have problems and we all make mistakes. And I agree that if we had to deal with those issues publicly like celebrities do, we wouldn’t appreciate it either.
Still, celebrities do A LOT of dirt. And I think it’s a huge shock to their systems when they hear and read anything other than the continual praise that they receive from the countless amounts of random yes people who surround them.
So, I can understand where they are coming from, but at the same time, I don’t feel too sorry for them. Because yes, EVERY PERSON deserves their privacy, but NOBODY should feel like they are above acting right.
Unlike celebrities, when a regular person gets into trouble or does something out of pocket, NOBODY turns the other cheek and NOBODY keeps quiet about it. So, celebrities need to learn that there are no free passes in the real world. And that regardless of if they know it or not, or think that their money and status excludes them from this, they do belong to the real world too.
Fri, December 18, 2009 11:35 PM
Gabby…girl please stop the madness! Celebrities already know what time is when they pick their profession: living under a microscope, being watched/stalked by the media and hated on by the public. If you don’t like it, do something else with your life that’s not so public (or lucrative) like working at Payless.
Besides, whether or not the relationship between D-Wade and his estranged wife was over or not, he was and still is a married man and God WILL NOT give you someone’s husband.
Fri, December 18, 2009 11:45 PM
I think her whole premise is off base..From jump she assums that the reason the personal lives of people like her and others are splashed on the web and tabloids and in some cases the never ending news cycle is because “we got issues”. News flash… You get talked about is bc people like to see train wrecks…bad credit or not. Don’t blame the “normal folks” because you stars fall from grace and the entire world is watchin. You got two choices stay on your pedastal or leave the spotlight.
Sat, December 19, 2009 12:05 AM
I get what Gabby was trying to say but people will never stop fucking gossiping. And when you’re a celebrity you’ve got to accept that people talking smack about you comes with the territory of being in a position that most people covet.
What else will people do with their own miserable lives if they couldn’t talk shit about someone else’s? I think her heart is in the right place; but she’s got to learn how to roll with the punches of small minded folks and stop being so sensitive about people who talk shit on blogs. It’s mostly a bunch of nobodies who ain’t gonna ever amount to shit anyway that talk the most trash….
Sat, December 19, 2009 12:19 AM
Gabby you have self esteem issues my dear. If you didn’t you’d know that no woman in her right mind would ever leave a good man. Karma is real baby..wait your turn.
Sat, December 19, 2009 1:30 AM
Nobody, including the gossip blogs, no what’s going on in Gabs personal life. They just speculate. She’s exactly right. Some people talk about and follow the lives of celebs instead of focusing on their own lives. That’s exactly what she’s talking about. We’ve never seen anything formally from DWade’s wife; just speculation and heresay.
Sat, December 19, 2009 1:34 AM
It’s crazy how the authors of these gossip sites take sides in celeb gossip, like they’re 100% sure they’re right(when they’re wrong more than they’re right). They put their personal feelings in it and are not objective at all.
Sat, December 19, 2009 3:43 AM
I would agree with what she is saying but SKANKS/HOMEWRECKERS LIKE HERSELF ARE USUALLY THE ONES WHO CAUSE DOMESTIC DISPUTES BETWEEN COUPLES.Her type of character is the main reasons couples fight, because she can’t leave somebody else man alone. So she need to preach to herself.
Sat, December 19, 2009 8:51 AM
I agree with what she’s saying! Natasha u must not like it because u make ur life off other peoples fuck ups. But its cool cause we need that news too but I’m tired of hearing about Tiger u know more than half of those women are just tryna get in where they fit in and with the Chris Henry thing, I mean the man is dead! Yes it was from a stupid situation but have respect for his family
Sat, December 19, 2009 9:25 AM
For the scripture throwing folks out there, let’s not forget that the man who you worship, Jesus, came from a lineage of an adultier, David. There is a reason why God judges our hearts and not just our actions.
Anyway, I agree 1000% with Gabriel. When we went to see her movies, we paid for her entertaining us with her acting not her personal life. When we bought music, we paid to listen to what that artist was singing or their voices, not their personal live. When we watched an athlete play in the individual events or buy their products, we do so because of what that they did on the course, court, or stadium, not their personal lives. Even those who claim to be keeping it “real,” only tell us what they want us to know.
The media on all levels have gotten out of control because we not getting anything more than sensationalism now. Our news is now replaced by tabloid gossip and news. They are in such competition with each other and the internet and sadly, the public is caught up in their desire to be the first, the best, the most dramatic, the highest rating or the one to receive the most hits on their websites. No one wants to really inform us or tell us the truth or give us the news with a spin.
Our media is more interested in what Tiger Woods did with these women, if he indeed did anything with all of them at all, than they are with really informing us about the issues that affect our personal lives. And sadly, even those issues have been reduces to talking points to keep the talk shows and the guests going.
Some will argue… BUT we paid for these celebrities image so we derseve to know when they screw up. No, you paid for their talent and you bought into what the media’s preception of them. One minute Miley Cyrus is innocent and sweet. The next minute the media is trying to create a hoopla over what she is wearing or something she did. Just like many are now buying into the Tiger Wood’s scandal hook, line and sinker.
Seriously, before this scandal broke, what did you know about Tiger, except what he said back in 1997 that irrated a lot of blacks, You knew he was a golfer and an exceptionally great golfer; who was beating the pants off of his opponents. Did some even knew he was married? Did you really care? The media is on one had claiming how squeeky clean Tiger’s “image” was and at the same time paying women to tear his “squeeky image” apart. So who is at fault, Tiger, the guy we really don’t know and still don’t know anything about or the media for creating and destroying the image of a person none of us know personally. The only thing we know for a fact about Tiger and all these other celebrities is what we pay for or get entertained by, their TALENT.
Sat, December 19, 2009 11:03 AM
Judging by Tasha’s reaction, Gabby clearly struck a nerve. Let’s be real about what this & other sites are about, it’s a gossip site, not hard-hitting news or anything close to it. So I’m not sure why there’s all the defensiveness. We all know if we want real news go to cnn or npr or something. But don’t try to front like this site is anything more than it is. And unfortunately most of what she said is true. Don’t know enough abt her personal life to pass final judgment but obviously the message would have been better rec’d coming from a different messenger. Do I always want to read abt the latest bombing in Afghanistan? No, sometimes I want to indulge in some mindless celebrity gossip, but I’m not gonna perpetrate like there probably aren’t 100 other things I could be doing w/my time.
Sat, December 19, 2009 11:14 AM
Agreed…I don’t get where Natasha is going with HER comments…not Gabrielle. But to each it’s own.
I got exactly what she was saying. Some of us are sometimes go caught up in blogs and OTHER people’s lives and not our own. Like Natasha continually posting she is sleeping with someones husband and it is not HER husband.
Sat, December 19, 2009 11:15 AM
Well said!
Sat, December 19, 2009 1:22 PM
ARE YOU PEOPLE NOT COMPREHENDING WHAT YOU JUST READ,EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES WE ARE ALL HUMAN. SO WHILE EVERYONE KEEPS MENTIONING THAT SHE IS DATING A SEPERATED MAN THAT IS HER MISTAKE THAT SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH AND ANSWER FOR WHEN HER TIME COMES. STOP JUDGING AND DEAL WITH YOUR OWN SITUATIONS IS WHAT SHE IS TELLING YOU AND YOU PEOPLE STILL DON’T GET IT EVEN WHEN YOU JUST READ IT. WHAT SOMEONE ELSE IS DOING IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS UNLESS IT IS DIRECTLY AFFECTING YOU. MS UNION, TIGER, AND ANY OTHER CELEB PERSONAL BUSINESS IS NONE OF YOURS…STOP FUCKING JUDGING!!!
Sat, December 19, 2009 1:35 PM
Is Gabrielle insinuating she is a good moral christian, when like someone said her relationship is built on others pain, lying, cheating and sneaking around in another womans backyard. You need the biggest mirror of all GU.
Sat, December 19, 2009 1:50 PM
GU needs to sht the fck up! And really I wasn’t going to care as much after reading this but that last attention needing lines of oh it’s all me paying for my niece’s college was so giving herself too much attention vs. I’m her aunt and that’s the least I can do.
Sat, December 19, 2009 1:54 PM
No, No, No …you need to shut TFU and then go to Walmart and buy yourself a mirror.
Sat, December 19, 2009 2:50 PM
@Natasha –
So even if Gabrielle Union is, as you said her to be, a “home-wrecker,” can she NOT give her two cents on the days topics/subjects?
Did G.Union “single-handedly” with ‘Jezebel-like-graces/skills’ dismantle that eternally blissful-never-before-troubled entity that was Mr. and Mrs. D.Wade?
Or was THAT ‘couple-that-married-all-TOO-young’ – given the pressures of wealth and fame – doomed from it’s inception?
When is a marriage over: After the lawyers bicker, squabble, pick and ‘rake-over’ the ‘finances-and-properties’ to ensure said is divided without bias?
Or, is a marriage over, AFTER there are recognized “issues” and both parties seek counsel – only to THEN find said counsel suggests said union to be…irreparably damaged?
And the children: Do you attempt, after said counsel, and make ALL valiant efforts to undo the pain, hurt and damage, then to “give-it-a-try,” for the sake of the children?
Or, do you make all ‘good-effort’ at repair and then – and ONLY then – show said children – of said ‘broken-partnership’, that happiness CAN be found yet AGAIN…. albeit it with ANOTHER spouse?
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!
Sat, December 19, 2009 3:02 PM
LMAO!!!! SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sat, December 19, 2009 4:13 PM
What she said was true, but when a person is presently doing something that is considered to be morally wrong, they’re no longer in a position where people should totally respect them and take their word as the gospel. To be honest, most of us read gossip, but at the end of the day, do we really care about Gabby Union or Tiger Woods that much….I know I don’t. I think she wrote this because she’s tired of people calling her out on her shit. If you don’t want people to call you out, be the example you just wrote about. She has a right to live her life however she wants, but don’t expect people to respect your decisions…especially when you’re a public figure.
Sat, December 19, 2009 7:30 PM
“THAT PART STOOD OUT TO ME TO! WHO DOES SHE THINK SUPPORTS HER CAREER??? I WONDER HOW MANY HARVARD GRADS WATCH TYLER PERRY MOVIES (NO OFFENSE TO MR PERRY AT ALL) BUT COME ON IT’S CALLED THE SPOTLIGHT FOR A REASON, IF SHE, TIGER WOODS AND WHOMEVER ELSE DON’T LIKE IT, THEY SHOULD STEP OUT OF IT.”
Keish, I appreciate that you saw my point of views of the whole commentary by Gabrielle. I would like to add to your response that you are on point when you stated that celebrities “sign up” for the publicity once they become the superstars they are. Everything they do in life becomes magnified, and if they do not like it, then they need to choose another PROFESSION. Their wealth come from US: the viewers; the buyers; the investors; the sponsors. They just don’t make that MONEY through real EARNED INCOME but through CONSUMERS SERVICE so-to-speak, so she really needs to check herself on that! Also, the very stereotypical statement she provided to make her point shows that she doesn’t really give a darn about people who are in the lower income brackets than her. And I’m pretty sure that those people who fall in that income brackets she TRIED to blast is where MOST of her own INCOME comes from!!!!!! She should really find the nearest toilet and sit on it because she is full of B.S.
Sat, December 19, 2009 7:37 PM
To everyone: I agree with Gabrielle in the totality of the situation! I just want to make it CLEAR that it’s a way to SAY and DO things, and using other people’s inabilities to MAKE yourself look better or try and make a statement shows a LACK of ethics and morals on that person’s part! She could’ve left out the attacks against lower/restricted income people because these people are her fans and supporters TOO! IT was cruel and demeaning! She wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth and neither was I! Although I am NOT a millionaire like Gabrielle, I do make DECENT money in the $50,000-$60,0000 bracket, but I will NEVER forget where I came from or step on people that are allegedly BELOW me! That’s just crazy!
Sat, December 19, 2009 8:27 PM
It is quite obvious by some of the responses that what Ms. Union stated is quite true.
Sat, December 19, 2009 8:45 PM
I’ve never seen A. Keys called a homewrecker on here (unless I missed it) and it would appear as though they’re doing the same thing.
Sat, December 19, 2009 9:40 PM
… just when everyone was on to shaq/shaunie and tiger/elin: she had to go and remind the black community (b/c we are the only ones that give her any burn) of her own “transgressions.”
way to put the heat back on yourself, Gabby, for sleeping with Mrs. Wade’s husband!
just chill and be content that your dirt can go unscrutinized b/c white media cares nothing about waht you do on the screen or OFF.
right message/wrong person delivering it ;-)
Sun, December 20, 2009 1:34 AM
hmmm.. Natasha you just losthard a die hard daily fan. I cant believe how bias you have become. So many women have found themselves in this position. Ive been in a committed relationship for 10 years and my son calls my partner daddy in addition to his biological father. I didnt cheat. The relationship was over…we just happened to never bother getting divorced. I cant help to think how this would have been portrayed in the media if we were famous. You seem very partial to your favorite ladies yet post Gabby and Amber all the time. You dont like them yet they obviously give you the majority of your posts. So many of the girls you never bad mouth have done such worse acts of morality. Here Gabrielle said nothing that was hypocritical. She spoke from wisdom earned through experience. This is what life is all about. Here you had a chance to promote something wonderful but instead you created and led the march in a hate rant…made it a chance to breed negativity. I cant be a fan of someone who breeds hate. Guess I shouldnt have expected better from someone who makes their living over complete gossip. I think I just lost my taste for gossip as well. Disgusting!

P.S. your site if filled with errors and takes forever to load pages. Also many of your links are broken. Maybe you should stop trying to create “hype” about a story that was nothing you insinuated it to be because you had nothing better to post that was attention grabbing and work out some of these kinks so people can actually access the page. Im just saying. “Bless your heart.” I cant believe what a fan I was of yours…grrr

It’s funny how folks like Alicia Keys gets a pass for courting a married man ,but Gabby gets slammed ! Tell me,How does that work ? Alicia and Swizz gets Topiced as “Alicia and her Boo ” and Gabby gets “Homewecker” Headlines .Both men are separated but not divorced and until you are divorced you are not suppose to date anybody else ,by man-made law and GOD hisself ! and while were on the subject of Hypocrisy Why is everybody sorry of Halle Berry and mad at Rihanna and Halle wasn’t even the one who got abused !?

I have to say that I do agree with what she has said here, but she’s certainly not the person to be giving anyone any advice about “doing better”. Gabrielle, people will far often watch what you do, before they will listen to what you say. What does that mean? ACTION speaks louder than words! Cheating with a married man and breaking up his home is not hot. I can appreciate their talents, but people like Gabrielle, Alicia Keys, and Fantasia sicken me. Are we really THAT desperate in Hollywood????? Message to Gabby: Before you start preaching to the masses, make sure that you can actually practice what you preach!

@Tiffany! You are exactly right! Why does people like Alicia Keys get a pass and Gabrielle get labeled as a homewrecker?! While I’m at it, I don’t understand how Tiger Woods is losing all of his endorsements, including Gatorade, when I just saw a Hanes commercial that Michael Jordan is ENDORSED for! I’m confused: didn’t HE do the same thing Tiger did?! In addition, didn’t Michael’s wife divorce him due to his various INFIDELITIES and was awarded $150 million?! What is this world coming to? Get off of Tiger and Gabrielle UNLESS the criticism will be across the board! SMH

I think you are right. But you should cover more on this topic.
