“On Dating A Single Parent?? – Not Likely”

The ReadyWriter

I received an email yesterday from a loyal CEO blog reader (who shall remain anonymous) and they wrote this:

“Hey There Tracy”,

“I love your blog and have been a follower for quite sometime now. You don’t talk about dating much I’m sure this part of your private life, you keep separate from your public blog but I’m curious to know, if you would date a single divorcee with child?”

“I’m sure as a single woman like yourself, you can come and go wherever and whenever you want too and you answer to no one. You probably work overtime anytime, hit the happy hour or the gym after work, take weekend trips or long trips and sleep in on weekends. A singles lifestyles and that of married father are like night and day.”

“You clearly have a freedom that most wouldn’t want to give up.”

“So my question to you is, would you date a man with a child or children, I’m curious to know?”

“Some of my friends feel, that single folks should date other singles and single parents should date single parents.”

First off, I never hit-up “Happy Hours” because I don’t drink. I do however, agree with his friends.

Dating a man or hooking up with a man who has children is a turn off for me. Divorced men with children automatically come into the relationship with attached baggage and that’s one responsibility that is beyond my emotional scope of reasoning.

I’ve witnesses a lot of emotional and physical drama from broken relationships where children are involved, and would never wish to subject myself in parts of any of it. 

That’s my stance in this situation and on this subject…What are your thoughts, CEO fam? Please share them with me!

“Matt Barnes Arrested For Domestic Violence”

The ReadyWriter

NBA player Matt Barnes, who earlier this year signed a $3.6 million dollar contract with the LA Lakers, was arrested yesterday and charged with domestic violence, according to CNN.com.

Barnes and his baby mama Gloria Govan, who starred on the 1st season of the hit reality TV show Basketball Wives, were engaged to be married. But all of that ended when Barnes signed that lucrative contract deal with the Lakers and suddenly realized his worth.

The incident occurred at his Sacramento home Wednesday, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s department said.

Police say someone in the home dialed 911 but the call ended abruptly. When police arrived at the home that Barnes shared with Govan, both parties had “visible injuries.”

“When deputies arrived, they made contact with 30-year-old Matt Kelly Barnes and the adult female who he lived with and with whom he had a dating relationship,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement. “While both parties had visible injuries, Barnes was determined to be the primary aggressor and taken into custody.”

He was booked on felony charges of domestic violence and maliciously obstructing the use of a telephone line.
He posted a $50,000 bond and was released from jail Wednesday evening, the sheriff’s department said.

Matt Barnes will be arraignment on Monday, Sept. 13.

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

The ReadyWriter

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.

“Men Can Be Gold Diggers Too”

The ReadyWriter

And this is the sad and greedy case with Leicester Stovell’s lawsuit against NBA player, LeBron James.

Stovell filed his lawsuit in June alleging he met James’ mother, Gloria, in a Washington bar in 1984, when she would have been 15 or 16 years old. He claims he had sex with the minor child only once, and that she contacted him months later to inform him that she was pregnant.

But on Monday (Aug. 30) Gloria filed a counter suit against Stovell seeking to dismiss his ridiculous lawsuit on the grounds that a DNA test proved he is not LeBron’s father.

Stovell  is now claiming that LeBron and his mom Gloria, tampered with the DNA test to prove its negativity.

After all these years Stovell is demanding millions in compensation for the loss of a relationship with his son. What people will do for money!

“Stovell’s claims for millions of dollars from his putative son and Gloria James are based upon rank speculation,” said the court filing, “that a man who claims that as a 29-year-old lawyer he got a 15-year-old girl pregnant during a one-night stand and who never contributed a penny in child support would earn millions in commercial endorsements by crawling out of the woodwork after the child he never gave a thought to become an NBA star.” Read more…

“Tiki Barber’s Girlfriend Defends Affair”

The ReadyWriter

Traci Johnson wants the world to know that she and the ex-giants player didn’t hook up, until well after Tiki had abandoned his marriage emotionally.

“I knew that Tiki didn’t leave Ginny when she was eight months pregnant for me. I knew that his relationship had deteriorated before my relationship with him was even a thought in his mind.”

Yeah Ok! That’s why it leaked that, she and Tiki traveled together extensively, he spoke at her college her senior year and they were seen together often; months prior to Tiki leaving his wife Jinny. Ms. Traci Johnson just don’t like the title she’s been labeled of a homewrecking whore.

Traci said when she and Tiki “are not watching rented movies, you can find us at a cozy wine bar with friends or playing in a co-ed softball league.”

See this heifer want the world to know, that it’s not just about the good sex between the two of them and that they actually have a lot in common.

Mm., So while Tiki Barber is running around with his little play mate, his wife Ginny is at home raising and being a mother to the four children he left her with.

This isn’t a good look for Traci now is it? She’s better off keeping her mouth shut IMO. Read more…
