LISA WU-HARTWELL’S FAMILY DRAMA WITH EX KEITH SWEAT
Her name is Lisa Wu-Hartwell. She is the ex-wife of singer Keith Sweat and the current wife of NFL player Ed Hartwell.Lisa currently stars in the reality television show “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” on Bravo,but don’t you call her a “desperate housewife.” The budding actress owns her own real estate firm, Hartwell & Associates, a jewelry line called Wu Girls, a children’s clothing line, Hart 2 Hart Baby;she is also a model and a mother to 13-year-old Jordan, 10-year-old Justin and 1-year-old EJ.It is Jordan and Justin,however, who won’t be starring in the Bravo series because their dad,Keith Sweat,won’t allow it.
VIA E!:
The drama on Bravo’s new The Real Housewives of Atlanta series began long before the cameras ever started rolling.Lisa Wu Hartwell, one of the five women showcased in Bravo’s latest Real Housewives incarnation, tells me she was hoping to have all three of her children on the show, but her ex-husband, late-’80s R&B hitmaker Keith Sweat, has gotten in the way.Hartwell and Sweat have two sons together, 13-year-old Jordan and 11-year-old Justin. “He didn’t sign a waiver,” Hartwell complains. “He’s like, ‘Lisa, it’s nothing personal. I just really don’t know how they’re going to edit and if they’re going to make you look crazy. I just don’t want the kids to be, you know, overexposed or anything.’ “
Hartwell doesn’t buy it. “They asked their dad if could they be involved, and he [said] no,” she says. “It could have been a Disney show and I don’t think he would have signed it.”
An email sent to Sweat through his official website has not been returned.For now, Hartwell appears on the show as if she only has one child, one-year-old E.J., her son with her current husband, NFL player Ed Hartwell.

Maryamb-I did not tune in to DL’s show this week I did however tune in to The Larry King show and DL was on there again this week speaking on Obama. But I was just so turned off by DL’s show last week .I just could’nt mustard up the time to watch his show this week I must admit.
I am so into this Presidential Election right now I must admit that I probably want look at DL’s show again until the election is over.
Maryamb-I agree with you in regards to most of your comments because our opinions on alot of matters are very simular. So keep doing you.

I still think it’s embarassing that all they could find in Atlanta were 3 women who are married to (or divorced from) professional ahteletes, and a white woman with a bad weave who has a sugar daddy who wants to remain anonymous (obviously he’s married). Lisa here went from being married to a famous R&B singer, to an NFL player. Just kind of scerams opportunist!

Lisa does not look like an unfit mother whatsoever we all know that if you have alot of money you can win a custody case if you choose to fight for custody. And Keith Sweat has alot of money and I’m sure he had alot more money than Lisa did at that time.
It doesn’t mean she was an unfit mother and it doesn’t make him the perfect Father either.
Look at the R. Kelly situation he was found not guilty when the court had all that over whelming evidence against him. And anyone that seen that tape could clearly see that it was in fact R. Kelly. But he bought his way out. He was guilty but he’s filthy rich and he was able to pay the underage girl off as well as her Family. It did’nt make him innocent. When you got money you can make alot of things possible. The same with O.J. Simpson he killed those people but his dream team of lawyers got him off. He was far from innocent. Keith Sweat got alot of money people.
Lisa Wu Hartwell has not shown America no signs of being an unfit Parent. She appears to be a good mom. She has to abide by the law and her hands are tied in regards to her 2 Son’s with Keith Sweat. Go to her website she explains it all in great detail.
Keith Sweat is getting way too much credit in my opinion.

I just got around to watching the real housewives of atlanta.
Kim is a joke she has no talent in singing. I mean is she for real. Dallas need to find a way in telling this woman that she can not sing. Oh my God and I’m with you bigpapa she smoke and drink she’s not even taking it seriously. And Sheree is faking with her that’s not being a friend.
And I don’t blame NeNe for making fun of her because she turned on NeNe in the worst way so down NeNe is acting out because she’s hurt. I think NeNe is halarious. I like her.
But NeNe do seem like she may drink a little too much in my opinion.
And did you all take notice of how Sheree looked at Dallas Austin when Kim mis-spelled CAT. She spelled cat (kat)how embarassing is that. I’m still trying to figure out what Kim have to offer because at this point its nothing as far as I can see. And she’s not even a house wife. No wonder bigpoppa is hiding his identity because this woman is a joke.
Lisa did not have to throw fuel to fire by going back and telling Sheree something that NeNe said about Kim when she was a little tipsy that’s what you call getting some unnecessar mess started.

Lisa you talk a good game you said you wanted all the ladies to get along but you went to Sheree who was not invited to Deshawn birthday dinner and told her what happen what happened at the dinner should have stayed at the dinner you was a dog that carried a bone and i was disappointed in you because i liked you until you did that immature move Since you want to run your mouth tell us why Keith has custody of the boys RUN TELL THAT!!!

CATHY I agree Lisa started some unnecessary crap she should’ve kept her mouth shut.

Wow, I stumbled across this board while trying to find Wu Girl jewelry. I still haven’t found pictures of it yet, need to search harder!
I agree with much that has been said here already.
Lisa is a strong and capable woman. Had she not spilled the beans about NeNe’s song, I wouldn’t see any faults in her television persona.
I can’t stand Kim. I don’t know how she survives, but she does so I have to chalk it up to my old-fashioned values. Shimmying, rocking the limo with her daughter and her friends left me speechless. Vulgar language. No panties. People speak to her honestly about her lack of singing ability and for whatever reason, she’s not smart enough to listen to them. She’s obsessed with “beauty” which I find her lacking. And she can’t spell!
My heart goes out to Nene because she doesn’t have a strong sense of self. She’s haunted by an unresolved past when her present and her future are no less than enchanted. She is drinking more, I think, as her past is starting to take over and as her “friends” see her as weak and turn their backs on her. She’s right about Kim, but she doesn’t have to say this out loud. It’s not a sin to keep your opinions to yourself.
I admire Sheree’s strength. She’s the opposite of NeNe which is why NeNe would be my friend and not Sheree. Sheree is fierce. Kim is fierce in an ignorant kind of way. For some reason, that works. Sheree would not have time for me. NeNe would smells the roses and even see the ladybug on the leaf.
I see Deshawn as naive, but compassionate.

first of all i love the show. second, i see “not buying it” made some comments about this being the ‘first housewives show w/ any black people besides the 5 seconds of a waiter’ but u cant make comments like this then turn on BET and not see a white person ever, never, no shows, not even any awards will be given out to ANY sort of white people. practice what you preach. i have a lot of white people in my family , but obviously black too. its not only up to white people to stop being so raciest. look at this website! blackcelebritykids! if it was white celeb. kids people would be all over it saying it was discriminating. its 2008, we have a black president, its time to give up on all the judging – black or white we are all people.
Flag this
tanika, BET was spearheaded to cater to an underrepresented group of people, which is the same reason sites like this exist and thrive. Having a black president alone will, unfortunately, not change this sad reality. Further, even if there was no discrimination in the world (which there will always be) there is nothing wrong with celebrating a distinct culture or group of people, provided it’s done in a way that does not belittle the glory of other groups. This site does not engender hate for others, like some other sites (see KKK websites for example). Instead it celebrates black and brown beauty. Nothing wrong with that!

Sad reality being that minorities are still underrepresented and misrepresented in the media. (Sorry, I’m at work and doing too many things to express with clarity.)

Am I the only person think that Kim has no future in singing. Did you all hear this woman sing.

Carlita, I was telling my husband about that yesterday. The look on Dallas’ face was priceless. You could tell he wanted to laugh; but, he played nice. That seen was very reminiscent of the latina on Flava of Love who wanted to get a record deal. They both need to reevaluate their strengths because singing clearly isn’t one of them.

Lisa was a 19 year old back-up dancer when Keith swept her off her feet.She stayed with Keith for years while he beat her, and had children by other women. Lisa didn’t like it, but Keith had the money and was control freak. Lisa couldn’t go anywhere by herself, Keiths mother went everywhere with her thanks to Keith.
He kept her there by telling her if she left, he’d take the kids, because he was KS, and Atlantans love him. Lisa’s from California, so she had no pull in Atlanta.
she finally divorced him. He cut her off from the kids and the $$.
My nephew heard she wasn’t with KS, and brought her to Cali. She fougt KS in court til her funds ran out. He paid people to testify in court that she was a bad mother, when all along, he was the bad father. Lisa was engaged to my nephew (also in the nfl), he chased her til she moved in with him. She’s no gold digger, just a pretty woman who many men would like to get with. Lisa has modeled, wrote a movie that I’ve seen, and it’s good. KS tried to get royalties from the movie. He’s a low down scum bag yall. It’s not Lisa, she’s a good girl. I hung out with her and her brothers and sisters for close to 4 years. Lisa is very ambitious, and I’m so glad Ed has her back. Now she’s free to pursue her careers with no jealous man holding her back. I hope
she may have a good prosperous life. You see, she’s not afraid of work. As for KS not letting the boys be on the show, he’s just being mean. He only let her bring her boys to Calif. once in the 304 years she lived here. Other than that, she had to fly to Atlanta twice a month to see them (KS doing) Lisa’s parents live in L.A., and can’t see their grandkids thanks to KS. The boys hardly ever see KS, they live with his mother. The boys will probably run away when they get older to be with Lisa. They love their mom, and she loves them dearly. As for my nephew, he wanted a woman who had her own $$$$$. Lisa was broke, but look at her now. So all you haters, leave the girl alone. She’s an actress, and se’s acting.
ps: Lisa, If you read this, I’ll be in Atlanta August 2009. I’ll try to hook up with you. Tina E. (Reggies mom)

Let’s say all you said is true?
Ok ?? you say look at her now ?? what about her ?? I lived in Long beach CA for years and Hawaii for years I seen girls that look like Lisa working at 7/11 or at the gas station they came a dime a doz.
What it is you have country gold tooth dumb jocks that haven’t been anywhere and go nuts over a woman that has her real long hair and she has her REAL HAIR lol
Look IF Keith Sweat did do those things shame on him, BUT he isn’t here to tell his side either, BUT why on earth would she marry a guy she ONLY knew for 1 1/2 month ?? wouldn’t she be a little more careful about getting marry to a clown she just met IF she just came out of a marriage were she was getting her tail whip all the time ?? and lost her kids ?? either she is a fool or dumb or she is a gold digger and found some clown to save her !!
You even said, your nephew wanted someone with their own $$, so maybe he didn’t trust her or thought she was up to no good, BECAUSE if he really loved and cared about and dated her that long $$ wouldn’t have matter.
All the stuff Lisa got came from Ed Hartwell $15 millon contract a few years ago he got with the Falcons since then he been cut by two other teams, WHAT he doing now ?? ( I notice Lisa dance on that stripper pole like that wasn’t her 1st time).
I also heard Kim know her way around a stripper pole too, ( more to come later on that after I gather more intel).
Eric Snow wife is a joke she should be trying to find ways to save $$ not spend it on mess she bored and throwing $$ around giving Eddie Long $15,000 for what ?? to fill up his private jet ??
This is WHY 70% of NBA players are broke 3-4 years after they finish playing ball, most buy condo’s,houses, SUV’s,cars for their wives family and theirs and they marry these hood rats that can’t cook a egg and only know how to do things in bed and shop and buy $6,000 of hand bags and shoes, and keep Sally in business by buying wigs and weaves.
Kim, is trash nothing but cheap trash she going with some old black guy I think that love some white snow bunny (white chick) or he is a trick or he could have been her pimp lol lol let’s get real what does she do for a living ??
What get me is WHY these guys with money marry woman like Kim and Ne-Ne and even Lisa with two kids ?? and smoke and drink ??
Ne-Ne look like she married her husband because she was looking for a Father since she didn’t really know hers and she needed and wanted a Daddy for her goofy over size son, I hate the fact they are calling these chicks woman of Atlanta WHEN NONE OF THEM ARE FROM HERE !!!!
I was born and raise here I love this city and know many smart, fit in shape woman here that knows how to work take care of their bodies by NOT drinking,smoking so much, or been pass around all over this city.
Peace

Tina Eastern you know your talking bulls**t. If Keith was such a bad husband and beating Lisa why would she go to him to LEND her money to finance her movie (which stunk) and WHY would he lend her the money to make her film. Am I talking rubbish, NO I AM NOT, google “lisa wu sweat, keith sweat” and it will bring up court documents which prove this and the documents state that the fact that it was a loan was “undisputed facts” of the case. Again I state if things were so bad between them when they divorced or during their marriage, why would she have gone to such a person for a loan and if he was so bitter why would he have loaned her the money. The problems between the two I would say (and I am only guessing) stem from her dishonest dealings over this loan arrangement and the fact that he had to go to court to get his money back.

All I see on here is a bunch off haters!!! How can you hate on any woman that is taking care of her family despite the way she is getting the money!!! Lisa has a beautiful personality and spirit as well as Deshawn!!! Kim is trying to find herself like most women who have so much of free time!!! Nene is Nene, she appears to be like cool peeps and she just don’t take Bullsh**! She is still doing her and she has been through much and she is trying to get past that. Sheree is simply doing what most divorced women do as soon as they are divorced, get heard she’s trying to do everything without the boundaries of a husband, yes she is very strong minded and confident but as women we should all be that way. And maybe you all forgot that most realities are scripted and these characters are told to add a “little extra” so remember that the cat fight may not be real and what reality show does not have a cat fight???? It’s called acting, drama??? hello people these are women doing their thing!!! Go ahead girls!

I think all of the women on the show are special and unique in their own way. I really like Lisa and DeShawn. They seem to be very classy and always maintain a lady-like demeanor. All women have been through some bad relationships and we all are dealing with some issues of our own, so don’t be sp hard on Lisa. I mean she has her own thing going on (the baby clothing line, jewelry and real estate). DeShawn has her foundation that is very positive and she’s raising her three boys. Having her husband gone for months at a time can be rough, but she’s handling her business. Ne Ne is just plain ole real. I think we all can see a little of ourselves in her. She’s very opinionated, outspoken, honest and very funny. I watch the show and she cracks me up. Sheree comes of as very arrogant and the “B” word, but I think she’s a strong woman who has been through some things in her marriage and divorce proceedings. You can see the hurt on her face at times when she speaks of her soon to be ex, and going through that can be very draining on anyone, but she holding her head up and moving on with her life. I wish her the best as well as all of the women on the show. Kim. Well exactly who is she???? I don’t want to make any negative comments, but what is her purpose? Everyone else is a housewife and you see their husband. Big Poppa! What? On a different note she loves and adores her children. Can’t knock a woman for that and she is good looking. Other than that, talk to you all soon.

At least Lisa is willing to work and try different ventures and take advantage of opportunities that come her way so she can advance her family. She is in a marriage where she is “adding on” through her ability to generate money as oppose to “subtracting”. She obviously is not afraid to get out there and hone her skills and work hard. In my opinion, from what I’ve seen from the show; Lisa is not just sitting there like Deshawn, contributing nothing and cleaning her husband’s bank account out at the same time with estate managers, chefs, governess, plate washing, etc. Deshawn is home all freaking day with no JOB, no ambitions, no career plans. Running a fake, self-serving charity, which probably only consumes 4 hours, every month of out of her wasteful day and she can’t even wash a dish with her lazy tail! Every scene of RHOA I seen Lisa busy, getting up out of bed working hard, making things happen for herself and her family. The only person I’ve seen on the show providing any assistance to Lisa is a child care provider. This woman does not appear to me to be wasteful of her time or her families finances. I say kudos to her and I wish her much success.

I watch the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” (and the previous series) faithfully because it’s irresistible. However, I’m fully aware of editing and the fact that we only see what the show’s producers and editors want us to see.
Lisa Wu Hartwell comes across as bright, focused, funny, and in love. More power to her and her husband for all of the businesses and accomplishments they share! I also learned that she has written movies and I think that’s fantastic. It’s probably good that her older sons were not on the show; imagine being a teenager and having your life “edited” for reality tv. How messed up would that be, not to mention when you’re already not even living with your mother. So I think it’s healthy that they are left out of it.
Anyway it’s a fascinating show and I have to agree that the majority of the time, these Atlanta women come across as shallow, unclassy, materialistic, spoiled, and confused. Kim’s “singing career” is a perfect example of someone thinking that money can buy her anything. The woman can’t match pitches, she can’t keep a tune, how will she have a singing career that is real? No way!
The in-fighting and backstabbing is very “junior high” and I thought we grown women are beyond that. The Atlanta “housewives are horrible to each other. If that’s friendship, leave me out!

And I give Lisa and Ed credit for attending different functions that people invite them to but these 2 kisses Sheree’s butt in my opinion.

Tina Eastern – Since you know Lisa so well, shouldn’t she have your contact info? If so, she would call you from time to time. And how is it that your nephew got engaged to her but just up and decided he wants a woman with her own money? He should have known that before the proposal.
There is nothing you or anyone else can say to make me put all the blame on Keith. People always want to make women the victim. And this opinion is coming from a woman. He may have been a control freak but I’m sure Lisa wasn’t the perfect wife people are assuming she was.

DeShawn went to college!?!? Honestly, I’m surprised. What school was this, part-time at the local community college? She is a complete ditz, at least she sounds/acts it. And why does she always seem to be so nervous? Just odd.
What was priceless the other night though was when NeNe said to Deshawn: don’t worry about the lemon, I know you wouldn’t know how to cut it or you wouldn’t know where the knives were. Hilarious!! I had to rewind several times on that one.
Let’s face it, these women have money but very little, if any, talent. The guy in next episode’s preview said it how it is: these women think just because they have money they can run successful businesses. But, it takes smarts and business savvy in addition to capital. Yes, all of them claim to have foundations and businesses of their own. But, (1) they wouldn’t have them without the financial backing of their main squeezes (thus they can’t claim true independence) and (2) even with the financial help, it seems that most, if not all, of these businesses and foundations aren’t doing all that well. Cases in point: DeShawn’s “fundraiser” which resulted in a net loss, Kim’s “singing” career and Sheree’s “fashion extravaganza.” The jury’s still out on Lisa’s talent or lack thereof. Truth be told, Sheree has the most sense out of all of them if you ask me; although she’s got issues because of her childhood (but, again, who doesn’t). As for the rest of them, they’re c-l-u-e-l-e-s-s.

Pac4lyfe…we here (2 fingers to the eyes) on Lisa. The fact that she’s always trying to paint herself as the victim of a bad relationship makes her very suspect to me. I think she uses her looks to game men and women. I will say whether she has any substance beyond her looks and ability to chase paper remains to be seen. All I see right now is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Big Papa had a point when he said if she was in such a bad relationship before why would she rush right into her next relationship after only knowing this man for a month and a half…she didn’t want to let that paper go to the next woman…that’s why. For the life of me, I can’t understand why people are so malicious towards DeShawn. People kill her on the Bravo blogs. Maybe they’re jealous that she has a good man and plenty of money to go around. I don’t know, but it disturbs me because she seems genuinely kind. I don’t have the hostility that most have towards sheree. She’s going thru a divorce and I think she’s bitter and doing her best to keep her self-esteem in tact. I wouldn’t bother trying to be friends with her because I do find her to be very catty and competitive, but I don’t think she’s as bad as people think she is. I don’t pay much attention to Nene and Kim.

I look at this situation as a day in the life of real people that we all can relate to. We all can relate to being one of these personalities or having a girlfriend that is like one of these ladies.
To say all of these things that I’m reading about these women is totally wrong because we are looking at the edited-producer’s drama approved version. Its funny how we can get on the internet and judge people we don’t know, yet its people we see and deal with everyday and you can smile and laugh with them knowing that you were just hating on them too seconds before. Like the old saying goes “don’t judge a book by the cover” you don’t know these ladies backgrounds or trials and tribulations to understand what or why… another thing this is usually what happens when you put any amount of women around each other; personalities and estrogen fly. Attitudes clash and that is all a part of how you pick you close friends, associates, and enemies. Get with it people its called life so live it. If we all were the same this world we be so boring it would stop turning. That does not make a person bad, they are just not good for you. So lets not judge others because our grass has not been trimmed yet. Need a landscaper?….
Flag this
But Miss E that’s the point. You made the statement about not judging a book by its cover yet these books have been opened for all to see. I don’t care how much you edit I’m reading Golddiggers all except Ne Ne. Lisa is hard working but she has to be her husband has not been picked up my another team yet. Yea she got a phone call saying he was picked up by Oakland yet he’s not listed on the roster. The book reads to me fake. Lisa is sooooooooooo fake and if you missed her backstabbing move on Ne Ne then I don’t know how to explain it to you. She talk out the side of her mouth and then gets on TV talking about not having drama. Itch you started it. If you were such an upstanding person you wouldn’t talk behind your friends back as well, yet there she was talking behind Ne Ne’s back. How can you not see the double standard? Is it because she soooooooo pretty to most of you you are blinded by that? I think underneath her is a real con artist. Rumor has it her real estate co is busted. Power couple my azz. Power people have people coming to them not the other way around. And maybe just maybe if she put a little more effort into one thing instead of trying to be broker, fashion godess, movie mogal, then she would succeed even more.

Lisa Wu Hartwell-
After hearing some of the threats this woman has made, she should be in jail. In addition, this is great evidence to substantiate that the best interest of the older children is for them to be in the custody of their father. Clearly, she is not stable if she cannot control herself.
Flag this
To me Lisa presented herself in a very deceitful way by giving the impression that the child she had was her only kid. She didn’t come out and say it but it was how she presented herself during the show. Yes she is very pretty and she has a lot going for her–personality, smart, and she “appears” to genuinely love her husband. But she did sound kinda’ surprised when Hartwell says he was being picked up by Oakland. She seems to hang around alot of celebrities. But more power to her: work your game girl!!

Sara – I totally agree.

Keith Sweat made the right choice. If his kids were on the show questions about him would come up. The kids which are not her present husband’s kids do bring about questions & ideas like:
1.Why we never new her before now if she was married to Keith Sweat?When I learned that she is Keith Sweat’s ex-wife I began to think she is a gold digger because he has never been attractive. ALTHOUGH THE KIDS ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Her oldest son is 13 and my guess is she is about 30 (since her husband turned 30 on the show)so she had a kid around 17! She MUST have been a groupie. She IS beautiful & she used that to get the men now she’s using their money to get the so called businesses she constantly talks about and also pay her way into Hollywood.
ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS GET THE MONEY THEN IT’S EASY TO MOVE UP FROM THERE!

Funny, how people can get so excited en entwined by a smartly engineered tv show and some strangers’ experiences and choices in life. Very amusing and entertaining indeed. There is actually great material here for a follow-up new tv show. Something identical to an after party, but in this case, this would “The Real After TV Show Blog”. And the much spoken Mrs Lisa Wu-Hartwell and colleagues could actually star this new show.
What do you think, could that work?

Bad press is better than no press at all, Lisa would think. I believe this woman would show her dirty draws on TV if it would get her any air play or comments in cyber space, sad, sad, sad.
We’ve all seen what TV does to children, black and white alike so why would you want to expose your loving off spring to something so devastaing, unless of course you were a money hundry witch of a mother. A child is impressionable and when you hipe it up that he/she can be the next child star, well of course that kid is going to want to be with you and feel that the other oposing parent is hurtful and wrong for not letting them have the opportunity, but who would put on that child but someone like “Lisa”, what a rotten parent and what a manipulative !@#$@%.
If you’re going to be sucessful at all, by now you would show some type of sucess and the children wouldn’t be an issue in the sucess. THINK PEOPLE, THERE HAS TO BE A REASON THE JUDGE RULED IN HIS FAVOR for placement of the children.
One more question, why does she have to use Keith’s name at all in this whole senario, is it because his name get’s attention, the attention she so desparately seeks, Hmmm? Get your own life groupy, stop using people and your own children, all California people aren’t heartless pimps like this one, well ok, many are but not all LOL. I wonder who’s next on her list, watch out brutha’s, don’t fall into this trap.

Lookout, are your initials K.S.? I’m just sayin’… You seem so thoroughly invested in this drama. I guess you’re not alone. I’m reading all these posts. I’m bored and avoiding my workout tonight. What’s your excuse?

Well Sab, as you can see, I’ve not been on here in a while so I just noticed your reply. I would say I made an intellegent observation after reading these and other post on other sites, you can understand intellegent right? Compared to what I’ve read, I’d say my comment was intellegent. So tell me are you one of these women who need to have a man with money and fame to have a name? I see it all the time, I understand your sympathetic feelings for your sista. Keep working out, it may help you yet. Oh one more thing, my name is not KS, but I do have a brothers back.

To you Ms. Lookout I am really tired of men getting the “go ahead” from society just because of their runway status. You must not be a mother and if you are you must be either one with low class, slippery draws, or extremely dirty knees. No woman with even half of a brain would give KS a minute of “props”. He was an abusive controlling husband and probably won full custody of the kids due to making an extra gift into the judge’s “charity fund” or are you one of those naive ppl who still believe in good hearty fair American justice. Whatever the reason was it was really none of the public’s business. The issue was between KS and LH and should stay there. Who are you or anyone else to judge her merits? I don’t see the show affecting NeNe’s kids, or Sheree’s kids, or Kims’ kids! It is all in how you raise them. Have you ever heard anything bad about Will Smith’s sons? No but they are in the media. Stop hating on LH for having what you are trying to get and start praising her for overcoming her obstacles and climbing her mountain. Oh yeah and on one more note. How is it you have so much advise to tell the “brotha’s” to watch out? Is it because you are a gold digger and are just hating that someone with more class and sophistication is where YOU have yet to rise to? It is just funny how so much intelligence has caused you to have such a major lack of character!!!!

If both parents are not in agreement on the children being in a reality show then that is that, Lisa has been doing perfectly fine without exposing her older children on the show for two season so what does adding them now gain her, nothing. Keith Sweat my have been verbally abusive as Lisa claims, but she knows as well as he does that not putting the children on the show was a good decision, and the judge had every right to rule in his favor. So many children are put in these shows to help boost the parents bank account at te end of the day not all children are affected by these shows, but just as many that are not affected are those that are affected. Do you really think that throwing a camera in a childs facing for long period of time is a good idea just cause you want something entertaining to watch is a good idea, don’t think about the moment, think about the long term effect of “child stars”. Just as few names for example, Lindsay Lohan, Brittney Spears, Jamiee Foxworth (Family Matters), Mia Campbell, Danny (Patridge Family), Jon and Kate Gosselin children, Brooke and Nick Hogan.

First of all Lookout, you should really learn how to spell and collect your thoughts before you sit down and discuss someone else’s life. Secondly, I dont think that it was about her using the children for fame, she just wanted the show to represent her entire family instead of just part of it. On the show, it seems as though she only has one child instead of three children……I think that was the point. And by the way, just because a woman is ambitious, does not mean that she is money hungry (hundry as you put it). She has things that she wants to accomplish and aspirations that she wants to fulfill just as he did with that whining ass singing career he had. In short…..I completely disagree with you and you need to get a life!……..YOU GO MISS WU-HARTWELL!

I just wanted to commend you for noticing the spelling errors!!! LOL It’s always funny when someone says they are “intellegent”…
ROTFL
It doesn’t really matter to me whether Lisa’s children are put on the show or what her motivation is…I just couldn’t handle “lookout” bragging about her intelligence, all the while making so many grammatical and spelling errors!!!!
Good day to you K Markssan!!!!

Hi KMarkssan, your comment was really refreshing. Actually several comments. Ppl have to first walk in someone else’s shoes before they can accurately comment. I felt the poster ‘Lookout’ was really harsh. First of all how do we know Keith got full custody? My ex-husband & I live in separate states and our son lives with him. Ppl always assume he has custody. No we have joint custody. I just felt like Lookout was trying to insinuate that Lisa has this ‘evil past’ and that’s why her kids don’t live with her. That’s so sad how ppl try to make themselves look like a better mom by putting another mom down. Lisa obviously is not trying to hide her other kids. She obviously wanted the world to see she has two older sons who she loves just as much as EJ. I think Keith could have let her older sons be on one episode just briefly. But I understand his side too. But Lookout was talking as if she was in the court room during their divorce and she talks to Lisa’s older sons personally.

What simple silly women wrote these post? Keith had the money and therfore got the children, I bet the women who wrote these post don’t have children or have a babies daddy and not an ex-husband with assets. Lisa is a business women and seems to even have a good heart which is rare. I am a business women and have a heart. Her thought process was probably to give her children healthy expossure for the future or even just to show her beautiful kids. I don’t understand women who try to judge other women without even knowing what a sister has been through. Simple and silly is what that is. Let’s put your background in the public and see what people have to say about you!!! Educate yourself!!!!

jus because the judge granted him custody doesnt meant that she was a bad mother. i have a friend who is going throught the same thing and she is a very good mother. she is going through da situation cause her childs father lied and slandered her name. so that doesnt make her a good or bad parent. there is always 2 sides to a story.
