Keith Sweat’s ex and presently Mrs. Ed Hartwell, Lisa Wu Hartwell with husband, Ed Hartwell… so SH is a big fan of Keith Sweat… but Cheyenne Jackson will always be ma boo!
According to MTO, another “reality show casualty” as ex-Housewife on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Lisa Wu Hartwell and husband Ed Hartwell are separated… here. MTO reports that Lisa Wu wasn’t gonna get used to the downgrade in pay that Ed Hartwell was bringin’ in. That’s too bad, as Lisa Wu and Ed made a great couple…
Honestly, the news re Lisa Wu and Ed Hartwell is not surprising at all.
HERE’S the REAL big story over at MediaTakeOut.com… here:
August 20, 2011. MediaTakeOut.com got some very DISTURBING news. A baby sitter named Keyona Davis was arrested for child neglect. She was being PAID to babysit for friends, an AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILY. Apparently this hick thought it was OK to have her BOYFRIEND drive her and the baby in THE BED OF THE TRUCK!!!
Luckily, motorists called 911 and police CAUGHT HER. Her boyfriend was cited for RECKLESS operation of a vehicle, and she was ARRESTED for child neglect!!
NOTE: Keyona was only transporting the kid in the back of a pickup… strapped securely in his stroller! It’s not like the kid was strapped in a stroller and the stroller with the kid in it “accidentally” drifted off by itself and ended up in a swimming pool ala Alexis and Jimbo’s kids!
Really, what the hell is so “disturbing” about this??? And why was the babysitter arrested?? Hell, we all used to jump in the back of a pickup and drive all over the place… standing up, holding on to the cab of the truck!!! If you are one of the people who did NOT get to do all this fun stuff, then you missed out! Geez, how many people would be arrested back then for doin’ this kinda stuff???
Geez, hope no one calls the ‘auth-or-ah-tays’ for havin’ the kid sprawl out on the hood of the car!
Especially used to love it when an older sister and her boyfriend would make us hide under blankets on the floor of the backseat of the boyfriend’s car to sneak us into drive-ins! Often wonder if those drive-in employees ever noticed a huge lump in the back seat… LOL!!!
Here’s what SH thinks about all these “quick to arrest” stories… and the police who, before someone can get a single word out, knocks the person down to the ground, sticks their knee in their back of the person, cuffs ‘em, then drags them to a standing position. This type of gung-ho police work is especially difficult to watch on shows such as “To Catch A Predator” where the guy is not running away, not resisting arrest, etc. Now, please, SH is NOT saying that these people should not be arrested, as they are clearly breaking the law. It is the method in which the police arrests them… it’s simply not necessary in such cases as the “To Catch A Predator” series…
Yep, I’d arrest all those pervs, but they’d all come quietly and lock themselves up in my jail… and they wouldn’t even think of escapin’!
So, here’s what all these gung-ho, prepare to taser, throw ‘em down on the ground police oughta be askin’ themselves before they use unnecessary arresting (Example: in the “Catch a Predator” series) methods: WWAD???
Barney, there ain’t no need for gas masks and all those modern techniques… we just gonna go and arrest these pervs. Got your handcuffs? OK, let’s go…
YES, “WWAD” or “What Would Andy Do?” How would Andy Taylor have approached the adult men who have been ‘lured’ to an underage girl’s home via the internet and promised cookies and ‘sweet tea?’
Here’s what Andy woulda done: ”Sir, you know that you bin caught breakin’ the law now, don’t ya?” ”You done a really, really bad thing… oh, you know that, do ya?” “Weeeellll… now you know that you done wrong and you know that we gotta take you in.” ”I ‘preciate you putting your hands out in front of ya, but put your hands behind your back so’s I can put these handcuffs on you.” ”Now, how are you gonna tell your wife and kids what you did?” ”Now stop cryin’, sir.” “You’ll be spendin’ time with Otis and the other pervs in the jail cell.” ”Barney, put him in the car and get the cuffs… we gotta use them on the next perv that comes outta that house.”
Now don’t be gettin’ all over SH… these are bad guys and deserve the punishment that is given to them by the judge in each case. It’s just that IMO only, there’s no need (especially in the “To Catch a Predator” series ONLY) for all the police using such force… especially when the guy is just about peeing himself when he first spots a police officer.
So, just think about it… WWAD???
NOTE: Oh Lord, I can just hear some of the comments to be made re this. SH realizes that these are different times, the police have different things to look out for (communicable diseases, etc…) when they are arresting someone. SH is only saying that some of the police actions shown on TV are totally unnecessary… and sometimes a little interaction between the police and the perp are all it takes for the situation to be solved.
You’re 100% on target…..thank you!!!
well Ms SH I love me some Andy Griffin just as much as the next person but you knowd I was gonna disagree with this mamby pamby method of handling these child molesters with kid gloves. I love LOVE to watch the cops stomp mud holes into wackadoo pervs on to catch a predator. Love it. I know its vile of me to take pleasure in watching a grown man get his neck crushed but.. hey least I am woman enuff to admit it.
But in one way I will have to agree with ya, officers taking a chance on really hurting these sub-human child molesters and thus opening themselves up to a unnecessary lawsuit and sticking the county for medical bills is a wee bit troubling… but just a wee bit.
p.s. I am just now getting over my crush on Chris Hanson and now ya done gone an had to brang him up again.
MP: Youz missin’ the point… just as I suspected some readers would. But, honestly, Iz very surprised that I’m writing to ma MP about this!!! The post was about unnecessary police actions… using “To Catch A Predator” as the example. Personally, SH couldn’t care less what they do with those guys on TCAP.
And… hate to break this to you, but Chris Hansen was recently caught cheatin’ on his wifey. Turns out he’s a multiple cheater. Now that the wifey has found out via the old “hidden camera” technique, it’s over for the Hansens: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/29/chris-hansen-caught-cheating-on-wife-camera_n_887289.html He’s all yours!! As always, TFC!!!! Iz missin’ cc/mc, too… SH
Oh wow. That was messed up about ole Chris-sy poo. Thanks for cluing me in.
But seriously though, you cant be thinkin what that baby sitter did was ok can ya? I mean aint there laws about cartin younguns around in the bed of trucks these days?
MP: Had to let you know this, but had to let the first news of his cheating ways set in for a bit. Not only was your guy, Chris Hansen, cheating on his wife, but he was caught cheating on his mistress with a stripper!!! Don’t ya just love it!!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/03/to-catch-a-predator-host-chris-hansen-cheated-on-his-mistress-with-stripper_n_917491.html
TFC!!! SH
And the stripper thought she was his one and only!! The cad!! OMG can Gloria Allred be far behind???
lol Who. There i a special place in hell for that woman. Gloria Allred.
I am so dismayed over this info. What the hell is this world coming too???? He looked so trustworthy and knight -n-shining-armor-like. just goes ta show ya…
I gotcha Ms. SH. I have been aggressively man-handled by a cop for a traffic violation. I think lack of anger management is actually a criteria in some police stations
Check out this example of excessive police action. i
MP: Very funny!!! However, I’m more in the mood for this type of grammar policing today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4vf8N6GpdM TFC!! SH
OMG I love it. sooooo funny. Thanks for the laffs Ms SH.
Ms. SH – Niiice
My parents owned a Brat when i was little (hideous I know but I didn’t know no better at the time) Anyways whilst being transported back home from a swimming party on day a piece of sand flew in my eye ball and scratched my cornea and the doctor had to use a laser or sumpin (cant remember exactly… was a bit traumatized) to take out the grain of sand that was imbedded in my eyeball. To this day images of eyeball mutilation on scary movies and stuff creeps me out.
Anyways my parents must have thought we were safer back there seat belted into the Brat as opposed to floppin around free style in the bed of a pick up truck.
MP – What is a Brat?
its one of these awful thangs.
I always crack up when I see Joy and crabman rollin around in one on My Name is Earl
I’m so jealous! That car is just pure awesomeness!
lol well my step daddy was awfully proud of himself when he brought it home all brand spankin new and stuff. As a kid I thought it was cool too. However after the eyeball incident I didn’t think it was too awesome. I think we have pictures floating around somewhere of me and my brother in that thing all tow headed and sunburt to a crisp… fun times.
SFTA was originally the one who posted the Lisa/ Ed story, but MediaFake** stole it as usual. They even added some lies for dramatic effect.
http://straightfromthea.com/2011/08/19/fanmail-did-lisa-wu-ed-hartwell-split-up/
Lisa confirmed it over Twitter btw. I feel bad for her because Ed Hartwell is FINE!
This story reminds me of how new mothers today are so different. They drive their bikes to lose the baby fat, but they put their babies in those canvas like tent things that get pulled by the bike and the mom pedeling like crazy. I have seen mothers go down hills at a rate that clocks about 6 miles an hour. She has all the saftey gear on, helmet, knee pads, ect. Yet, the 5 month old child zipped up tight in the moving tent is laying down without any thing to protect them. A car came extremely close to hitting the child after the mother slammed on her brakes for no apparent reasons. She was screaming at this guy like he had molested her child. It was her at fault.
And another thing that drives me crazy. Kids have every safty feature on their bodies when swimming, rollerblading, and other sports, yet the soccer moms of the world do not insist that the kids where helmets when playing. We have had two death in two different middle-schools due to boys banging their heads together when palying soccer.
I grew up with being on all 4 of my grandparents laps to steer the wheel when they were driving. I rode tractors when we went up to the duck farm, we used guns to shoot skeet, and when older duck/pheasant. No one hurt ever. We were allowed to drive the old army jeep if your feet touched the pedals. If someone got hurt by a branch we checked for pulse and blood, if none, we went on.. Concussions got treated approp.
We were pushed into the lagoon or the swimming pool and you learned to dog paddle real quick.
Everyone got thrown into the swimming pool. Age was not a factor. I think wheel chairs were off limits though. And driving in the back of a truck was not a crime, it was an activity. YOu got your hands smacked with a loud NO and you didn’t do it again. You got spanked, you went to your room, came out and apoligized to all and by the end of the day, one by one you got a hug, and grandma gave you an extra cookie with a wink and the unspoken word that you do not tell anyone.
There were no time outs, you were polite to strangers and elders. But I guess we were lucky, we trusted our neighbors and relatives. No one thought of sexual abuse. ANd again we were lucky, no one was abused. We were loved.
I come to this site becasue it is funny and you mock, ridicule, and laugh at the disfranchise of the Housewives then I read along and I have read how you share your stories and garner strength from each other. I would think that there are at least 6 or 8 people on this board who many would like to see on a reality show.
I have come here and gotten myself ripped by personal e-mails. But I think I have learned from them a bit.Since I am not a regular reader I have seen this site grow to be more than a place to talk about a bunch of rich (?) women. I have seen tears , laughter, and growth.
I have read somethings that I so disagree with, I have seen people reaching out to make another poster feel better. Very few times have I seen trolling and bad behavior. But it happens. I would like Bravo to do a show about people like you., I think it should be a season of people like you, meeting through a website catered to talking about The BRAVO HOUSEWIVES.You have lost boyfriends and husbands. You have had domistic problems in your life. What did you think when Taylor said she was beaten up and needed recontructive surgery? Were you suspious, or did you think that Taylor had work done and used battery for an excuse ?
To the lady who started this site,, Did you know that you would have a site that people would share their personal stories as the ones on any of the BRAVO shows have had?
Did you know that you would end up sharing so much of yourself on your own creation? Mocking and pointing fingers have turned into a “Villiage” of women and men that come to write on your blog/site and told real stories. No back up and we will retake that scene.
I am more interested in the bloggers lives than I am with the Bravo housewives. I don’t see anyone branding themselves. When did that happen. You use to have to reinvent yourself, now you have to brand yourself. I looked on my butt and all I saw was a butt that is getting smaller yet seems to carry more extra fat, but not one bar code did I see.
I so want to get a hold of Andy Cohen and tell him that there is a site about his housewives on Bravo and that he should think about getting you guys together to watch a season of 2 of the shows and see what you guys think. An after hours show See what you guys think will happen next week, see who will be friends at the end of the season. Share what is going on in your life.
I love Andys after show. But these are people that are already in the limelight. I want to see you ladies tell me what you thought. Your leader could be the host, and you can have 4-5 of the regular posters on. Skype it to your site or Bravos. AN After Show for the fans by the fans. That way we won’t have to hear one more housewive start up her singing career.
Even though I believe in making some money if you can, it is getting ridiculous. Clothing lines by oeople that do not even know what material they are using, can’t sew, can’t draw. I would like to see some of you BRAND your talent. But the best part would be just people meeting each other that have shared a site for awhile. I bet you guys “talk” to each other more than the friends on any given housewive show.
I know that this letter took a turn somewhere. But the more I read about your lives the sillier the Bravo Housewives seem.
I hate Bethanny Frankel for some reason, it is not because I do not want her to succed in life. I just thought she used people till she did not need them anymore. I think she is crazier than Kelly at times. I guess crazy is not the correct word would be Neurotic. I like Jill, most do not. I think she just wants to be liked, to be the one that people go to. I have watched her mom and sister a few times and they seem like they were very cruel to Jill when she was younger. I remember When Lisa was on and Jill said I don’t know why I am they way I am, and Lisa had to drag it out of her, but Jill finally confessed it was becasue she was noat popular in school. Funny I bet any amount that Lisa was the one that everyone thought would make it big (and she did), but I think Lisa wanted the world to know that she was popular and well liked and her sister was not. You know that line ” I love you, BUT.
I have had a few interruptions since I started this long long post. I am sorry.
But I wanted to tell you that you all seem more interesting than the Bravo Housewives. I really do suggest that you start your own show about the Bravo housewives, I would watch that. And I bet since I have seen people mention you in other blogs you might just get some advertising. .Ms. Stoopid Housewive and friends. Think of streamng your show. I remember awile back ago Big Brother had a show on the net. The next morning they would talk about what happened during the weekend and on Friday they sometimes had who was kicked off, I think until they got to the point that people were staying for the jury.
You could do it the next day, and talk about anything housewive, or as you also do other news stories. I hope you take this seriously, I would watch for sure. ANd I bet your reader would watch too. Bravo might even put in a few stuff since you would be able to say what they can’t . Take one look at their blogs and info, usually nice things, like LOVE LOVE LOVE, unless they do not like you. Take Jill, she does have friends, but you better not say anything good about her. And then there is Bethany, she for some reason has no bad PR from Bravo. Andy must have a hand in the brand somehow. Lets see if she can stop traveling to sell her brand long enough to be a stay at home mom. Remember she noted that her parents took her all over, but she though it was unappropiate for a child her age. Damn I almost got through a letter without pouncing on someone.
And just to clear everything up, I am not a loon. I have been kinda bedbound for awhile due to MS. I am not sick in the usual since of the word. Just walking seems to be off. BUt Im getting ready to move and have boxes everywhere, and my chair is to big to use. Plus I can walk to the bathroom and stuff like that. Walked by myself to the store on the corner (hill and all) and I made it back. Took a 3 hour nap, but walk went well.
Enough about me. Please do not think that I am that chick from the Housewives from DC. But just to mention, I saw her on a new program the other night about Mr. Armstrongs suicide and she does seem to have the speech pattern many MS people get. It sound like you might have had a few drinks, but it is more the way you say a word, than the next word. It has an iambic beat to the structure. I think it was the Joy Bahar show (which you can rewatch ON DEMAND-COMCAST)
So think about what I have to say about streaming your show. I think it would wonderful, fun, and educational with humor.
Thank you for letting me rant.
Natasha you crack me up gurl. Wheelchairs were off limits. You are a hoot. Congrats on walking to the store. Heres hoping you have many more good days.
Natasha: While SH appreciates your intent, in all honesty, I’d rather be scratchin’ ma back with a hacksaw all day than to be associated with Bravo and/or the Housewives as described in your ‘fantasy’ program. That would be breaking the fourth wall and SH has absolutely zero interest in doing such.
There is plenty that goes on at SH ‘behind the scenes’ re Housewives… and SH declines offers each and every time. So, happy to hear that you’re doing better… and that you are NOT that phony-baloney-fake-MS-victim from DC!!! TFC!!! SH
Natasha, I enjoyed reading your post. Hope you get to feeling better.
just a few comments,
1. loves me some Andy, my whole life . It is one of my all time fav shows and back in my bartending days at one pub I worked at he watched Andy during happy hour and everyone loved it.
2. My grandparents owned a farm waaaaaaay the heck out in the country in south Alabama and we spent an enormous amount of time (all the grand kids) riding around in the back of and old turquorise and white gmc pick up truck while my Grandmother drove like a speed demon on old country roads. Some of my best memories actually sometimes I still dream about that old farm and the truck.
3. I wonder if Chris Hanson’s wife or mistress caught him to catch a predetor style, I wonder if he was sitting in the kitchen at the strippers house and his wife or mistress walked out and said “no no stay seated, we need to talk, what did you expect when you came here?? Why did you bring condoms hmmm??
4. Natasha!! loved your post and I could’t agree more about Jillz and Bethany
lol. sd. yeah like she said. “sit down. have a cookie, I see you brought wine coolers and lube. what did you think would happen here today?”
and on that note could you imagine the awkward assed sexting that went on between him and his mistress? OMG like no way would I be able to carry on sumpin like that with him without laffin my tail off imagining him reading them out loud all clinical an chit.
I never liked Lisa Wu. Ed treated her like a queen. Odd how she jumped to say it’s not about money in her tweet. She could have not given any details, hmm, isn’t it tho, Lisa? Ed is so sweet. And not like this has anything to do with her 2nd failed marriage, but Keith Sweat is a wonderful, full time father. He legally is not required to allow visitation of their two sons to Lisa, but like clockwork, he does, regularly. I like to throw that in. Did I forget to say nice things about Lisa Wu? NO!
How in the sam hill did she loose custody of her own kids? You have to be a sorry excuse of a mother for that to happen. Did she give it up willingly? Obviously they didn’t address that on the show since she was casts to be the “sweetheart” or did I miss it?
I dunno, MP, but I’ve been curious about that too! I think Romo brought it up on an older post re Lisa. Maybe she didn’t have the funds? But then wouldn’t she receive child support?
I am not sure but would think K. Sweat would have enough bank to swing child support if need be. So must have been a deeper issue that turned Miss Lisa into a weekend mommy.
From what I was able to dig up, she was denied custody bc she wasn’t employed at time of divorce. There’s always that lingering drug rumor that is her Gorga switch tho… Ms SH can ya help a sista out? Why did Mr. K Sweat with the velvet voice get sole custody? Thank you ma’am!
It has to be the drug issue Romo. Lots of stay at home moms get divorced all the time and are able to maintain custody of their kids. Sheree was not employed and she kept custody. That rice crispy chick in Miami too. Even bat-chit crazy women usually get to keep custody o their kids. sumpin is def up.
Ooh right… I’m so not as good as Tara at this gumshoe game, damn! That’s what some article said and I bought it… And when Kim mentioned her being a crack addict she told her she was going to flip her over the couch. Too bad Keith Sweat is a gentleman and won’t spill it…
Bleh. That doesn’t make sense. So “stay at home moms” wouldn’t get full custody because they aren’t technically employed? Bah!
Found this website that had some info about the custody situation (never posted a link so hope it works because I’m Cher Horowitz over here) http://www.daytondailynews.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/accessatlanta/radiotalk/entries/2009/02/23/223_lisa_wu_har.html
That helps a bit, Bubbies. Thank you!
