He annoys me…Any man that denounces his kid is a lame.
I totally agree, he is so phony
spend time with mel b’s daughter
i wonder if being with beautiful little girl makes him want to bond with little Iris.
I wont see any of his films b/c he sucks! I won’t support a deadbeat father.
I was going to say the same thing. That’s like supporting R. Kelly after finding out he likes sleeping with minors. Eddie is funny & Kelly makes good music but wrong is wrong & I won’t support crazyness.
I lost a lot of respect for him. What type of fling/relationship they had, doesn’t concern me. They made that child (together), so both need to deal with her. I feel once he found out she was pregnant, he quickly jumped into a relationship with Tracy. That mess looked so staged. Sorry sweetie, jumping ship doesn’t make a baby go away.
I don’t want to hear crap about we all make mistakes (which we do). But I expect this from a 20 something year old, still wet behind the ears. Not a seasoned individual, that I’m sure has made plenty of mistakes to know better.
Eddie should be ashamed of himself and what studio investor that it was a good idea to cast an actor who has made it public knowledge that he wants nothing to do with his little girl make a movie about a father and daughter. Maybe Mel B should put Angle in a movie and then she can meet her father.
Boo Eddie, how you gonna do your youngest daughter like that, I hope he makes and effort to form a relationship with her when she’s old enough to understand and start asking questions.
I liked him better in the 80″s, now he just comes off like a pompous jerk in interviews.
I will never support Eddie until he steps up and acts like a father in REAL LIFE. Has he ever seen his youngest daughter? What a Loser! It’s a shame because he’s a talented guy.
yara is sooo sweet, i love her, i’m gonna watch it for her i think shes so talented an he’s right wen he says look out for her in years to come. i do agree with all the comments already posted about him though, its a damn shame cos he is funny an i used to like him a lot.
This dude is so wack, I wonder why the film company would hire an actor who doesnt acknowledge his own daughter for a movie like this. I just dont get it…..
Its good to know he can “act” like a good father.
I agree with all the comments posted before me. I was in a similar situation myself so I know exactly how Mel B. feels…f*ck him years from now he’ll regret it.
This post is about Yara not Eddie
But he is right, Yara “is the future of showbiz” lol
She’s too cute!
Yara is a cute little girl, Eddie is to !!!! for me. He needs to go back to the hood and learn how to be a MAN again. Hollweired has gotten into him.
How come nobody comments on how Mel B Caught Eddie. She basically made her self pregnant to keep him and his money. I will agree that if a girl does trick you and has your child, you already lost, so might as well make the best of it instead playing sore loser.
I can imagine **rolls eyes**
Eddie - ‘Mel baby, I know I’m stark naked and about to get busy with you, but can I ask you a question?’
Mel B - ‘Ofcourse Eddie, what is it?’
Eddie - ‘Are you on some kinda birth control? I don’t do condoms, they don’t make them small…um.. I mean big enough… for me. Plus I’m allergic to plastic.’
Mel B ‘You’re allergic to plastic??’
Eddie - ‘Yes. It’s an allergy I musta caught from Johnnie… er.. I mean Tracy. It’s a contagious allergy to condoms I got and they make me break out down there.’
Mel B - ‘Well don’t worry Eddie. I have a diaphram. We are good.’
7 months later…..
Mel B - ‘Eddie I’m pregnant!’
Eddie - ‘what the F…? It ain’t mine! You know you wasn’t nuthin but a ho! Why you tryna trap me Mel? You cain’t have none of my money B!
Mel B’ - That’s OK! If you weren’t allergic to the condoms you got from JOHNNIE or that tranny, we wouldn’t be in this situation! It’s yours and I’m taking you on Maury!’
MAURY, MAURY, MAURY, MAURY, MAURY!
Eddie is a gay bird. He’s completely changed.
Does anybody know what happened to between him and Baby Face’ X?
I aint heard nothing on why they abruptly broke up. People keep saying it’s because he’s really gay and he was using her as a cover up.
Apparently Mel B ain’t found this out yet.
Dang Nappykat you think everybody is a “ho.” Eddie, Denzel, and Diddy. What man is not in your opinion?
agreed!
