“Nicole Paultre Bell Running For City Council”


Her  fiancé’s Sean Bell was killed in a hail of bullets four years ago on their wedding day, and now she’s running for Queen’s City Council.

With absolutely no experience under her belt, Nicole Paultre Bell, pictured with the good ole Rev. Al Sharpton, said her platform centers on education reform, elderly care and improving police and community relations.

“What happened to me four years ago – I didn’t expect that to happen,” Bell said in an exclusive interview with the Daily News officially announcing her candidacy.

The one obstacle facing Nicole Paultre is that she doesn’t reside in the Jamaica, Queens, district she wants to represent. She lives in Far Rockaway with her father, who provides an extra set of hands for her two girls, Jada, 7, and Jordyn, 4.

Nicole plans to move back to the Jamaica area in the next few weeks, the deadline to move into the district is Election Day.

The 899 signatures from registered voters on her nominating petitions are due by Monday to enter the nonpartisan race and Paultre insists she’s already surpassed the requirement.

No experience or not, I’m impressed by the fact that, Nicole Paultre Bell wants to get involved in order to ignite change!

She’s looking to turn her negative into a positive and that alone, demonstrates her strength and courage in the wake of such a horrible tragedy.

My hope is that she wins!!!!

“Is It Ever OK To Call The Other Woman Mommy?”


Not according to Swizz Beatz ex-wife Mashonda.

In the October issue of Sister2Sister magazine, Mashonda is still making it very clear that, Alicia Keys was her husband’s mistress.

“We were married. Sleeping in the same bed and having sex every night while he was seeing Alicia. Okay? It was an affair. 100 percent. I don’t know why people want to change that rule so much. We had just had a kid, for crying out loud. Our child was 8 months. I found out about Alicia two days before my son turned 1. They had been doing their thing for months before that.”

And although Swizz and Alicia have since moved on, are happily married and expecting their first child together, people continue to ask Mashonda; why is she still speaking out about them?

“My story is a universal thing. This is not just something that only happened to me: This happens to women every day. Mine was just ugly. If I can help the next woman get through and be positive, then I’m going to talk about it.”

Mashonda then added, how Alicia Keys wanted her son (Kasseem Jr.) to call her mommy and how she addressed her in an email.

“Yeah. I sent her an email and asked her to please respect what I am to him and it’s not right for her to think that is okay. She never replied. She doesn’t reply to me. She has never given me that respect.” 

“It is so unfair to the child. I have been in contact with the little girls mother (the woman in England who has Swizz’s baby). She’s a young girl. She’s a spiritual girl. She apologized to me… I don’t even judge her. I can’t. She’s totally different than the other one. This other one knew. Alicia knew about me 100 percent. Swizz introduced me at prior events. They were signed to the same record company. She knew. And I emailed her and asked her to stop doing what she was doing and she disregarded me. Just like she disregarded me when I asked her to not have my son thinking it was okay to call her “umi.” You’re not his umi. You just met my son.”

“Umi” means “mommy” in Arabic. I’m like no. And then after I spoke to the lady in London, she told me that she tried to get her daughter to call her “umi” as well.

Mashonda should have addressed her child’s father Swizz regarding this issue, not Alicia.
