The blogsphere is up in arms about this letter this morning too...
You do have to blame the man, he promised you forever...[
But as a woman, I expect more for myself...I am single, have never been married...yet I would make a man wait to court me until the ink had dried on the papers.
I find it interesting that they have been separated for so long, yet they are still married.
I can't help but feel for Mashonda, how hard is it to get closure when you are going through a messy public seperation...with the public rooting for the other woman because of her celebrity.

The public power move I think was not needed. Just as much as the over the top judgment I see towards Alicia since Mashonda is doing her thing on the low too. (*fact*)
Our generation has become so used to putting private business on front street that it's like we know no other way to get results then to involve the whole world. She made attempts to reach Alicia and she hasn't replied so while the "letter" was calm and ladylike it still comes down to the fact that her and Swizz are done......been separated. Handle the legal/money issues and keep it movng.
I mean what does she expected to happen?Her and Alicia have a st down and chop it up over tea? It'd be one thing if the relationship was still active but it's really no more then legal red tape.

Well said.
Since the letter was placed into cyberspace maybe people have written how they felt about the entire situation. Unfortunately, the majority, if not all of these people have blamed AK for ending their marriage.
I applaud the stance you've taken in this situation. I agree with you. It is sad to see this drama unfold in front of the public eye and it definitely could've been handled much better, but the bottom line is that we all must accept responsibility for our mistakes or wrongdoings.

She actually told on her self, she wanted the publicity not for an album she had coming out but for just what you stated. She wants folks to start calling alicia keyes a hoe, she wants to mar her good girl image. I know it sucks when the person you are in love with does you dirty, but even with a child involved fuck the new dude. We gotta handle our business and once the ink is dried get the fuck out my face. If you wanted a more open relationship you should have been man or woman enough to come tell me that so I could either agree, or I could say not my bag and make moves to allow you the freedom you wanted.
He was selfish and deceptive, no excuse for that. She's just bitter, make an I hate that b*tch song(I don't call women out their names unless they earn it thus why you see fuck but an edited b*tch) and move on to the next relationship. I mean yes it sucks to be the less famous ex of someone who is dancing with a star, sucked when it happened with K-fed's baby mama(though seeing the wreck that brittany was afterwards was probably sweet for her) it sucks that it's happening to mashonda, but babygirl send him packin get ya alimony, child support and get gone. He ain gonna come back because you try to set up the opportunity to swing at his new love interest. Just take solace in the fact that since he cheated on you with her she can't complain when he cheats on her with somebody else. Because unlike you she know's she's fuckin a cheater

I've read the letter and it seems to me that AK wormed her way in, like she inserted herself deliberately asserting her charms are whatever until the inevitable happened. Now everyone has issues and petty little arguments in their relationships that's part of being human but if you deliberately and methodatically manipulate a situation then yes she was wrong. Then to say that she is in love with this man for all the world to see, even though he is still very legally wed is ugly. Any woman that has no problem with that has no sort of character. I know men cheat, and will cheat and will leave but if you know he is married and even know his wife but you still take up with him then you are worst then the lowest commonest hoe on the street. At least a streetwalker sends the man back to his family. This chick is flaunting her funky deed for the whole world to see how dare she even utter the word love. Love is not selfish and it is not ugly and what AK is indulging in is a very selfish and ugly kind of act but she will get hers in the end for we all reap what we sew.
As for beatz I think he is a very callous sort of man a man also without character if he is that in love that he would leave his wife, child and home then why not get a divorce why stay legally married to Mashonda and then flaunt his sidepiece all over town like he is a single man. Both of these two people are highly selfish and have no regard for the feelings of anyone but themselves. They are feasting in a selfish paradise that will eventually come to a ugly end and that will be their just deserts.
As for Mashonda she is a strong one and I don't give a shit what she did IN HER MARRIAGE bottom line is she has beatz last name and his child, she wasn't his mistress she IS STILL HIS WIFE. Whatever problems they had that needed to be worked out, should have been worked out between them but instead he stepped outside of the marriage and turned his back on it and her and she is a woman scorned. At the end of the day he needs to be a real man and right the wrongs he has done. She is really better off without him because his character sucks and if he is a man of this low of character she would be better cutting her losses and writing a book about it and coming out a champion while he remains the whorish scrub he is. I am firmly team Mashonda lol.
