: MediaTakeOut.com just got some EXPLOSIVE new details on the whole Alicia Keys-Swizz Beatz drama. One of Mashonda's EXTREMELY CLOSE pals reached out to MediaTakeOut.com to give us details on exactly how foul Alicia is. Here's what Mashonda's friend told us:
Mashonda has heard and seen a couple of things to make her feel like [Alicia Keys is carrying on an affair with her husband]. She always believed the rumors that Alicia Keys was gay so it didn't seem real to her. However unbeknownst to media and press, Mashonda did reach out to Alicia on Swizz's blackberry in response to a suggestive and totally inappropriate email Alicia Keys sent him.And there's more. MediaTakeOut.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that Mashonda and her husband Swizz Beatz were in the process of working out their marital problems when all of a sudden he picks up and flew half way across the world to join Alicia Keys on her tour.She very calmly, and maturely made Alicia Keys aware that they are married. Of course Alicia never responded to Mashonda. It's like she's ignoring the fact that Swizz has a family.
What's even worse, is that Mashonda was a fan of Alicia's and her music and really, as many MTO readers hated to believe that a revered artist as Alicia Keys would be the cause or attributer to another broken family, especially a family where there is a young black man being raised. There's no doubt that Alicia knows EXACTLY who Mashonda is having been introduced as his wife a few years back, not to mention both were signed to the same label, J Records. Alicia sings about Karma, and being a Superwoman, but wouldn't gallivanting around the globe with a married man go against all that?
Alicia is a home wrecker who has truly wrecked a very intact black home, destroyed a family for no reason but her own personal satisfaction, contributed to another young black man growing up through a broken home, as well as seeing the disrespect one black woman has for another.
And MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a member of Alicia's tour who is furious with Alicia for blatantly flaunting her man-stealing ways. The tour member, who claims that they're ready to QUIT THE TOUR if Alicia doesn't behave with dignity told MediaTakeOut.com the following:
Swizz Beatz not only showed up in Italy with Alicia Keys, he tagged along to Monaco as well. I'm [a member of the tour], and to see this sickens me. I have a [female family member] who just went through a divorce due to another woman plotting on her husband and going to no end to end their marriage.Ladies and gentlemen this story is about to EXPLODE. MediaTakeOut.com is being told that if Alicia keeps up what she's doing - the divorce between Swizz and Mashonda is gonna get EXTRA MESSY. Remember where you heard it first.She's now single with 2 kids and he's living a great life with this new woman. As a woman, Alicia Keys has no regard for another sister. I've witnessed her for the past week almost acting as if this is HER man, meanwhile he's got a family at home that mediatakeout readers dog on a daily basis. Its just very classless, and tasteless

DO YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS STORY?????? WASN'T SHE SUPPOSE TO HAVE GOTTEN MARRIED TO HER LONGTIME BOYFRIEND IN JULY IN EUROPE? AND WASN'T SHE SUPPOSE TO BE A ***?...MTO NEED TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND...YOU ALL ARE PATHETIC AND RIDICULOUS AND CONTINUE TO BRING BLACK PEOPLE DOWN...WE DON'T NEED THE WHITE MEDIA TO BRING US DOWN...MTO IS DOING IT FOR THEM
The first half of this story is from a "friend of Mashonda's" so of course, she or he has nothing but bad things to say about the situation.
The second half of the story is someone looking for more than 15 minutes of fame. If you are going to quit, then just quit...I'm sure you threats don't mean a *** to Ms. Keys!!!!!
If Mashonda really wants to put her man on blast, show us the inappropriate email!!!!!
It's funny how everybody wants to keep jumping on Alicia's case, but f*ck that. She was single, Swizzy was the one with an obligation to his family and took vows to his wife to be faithful. He decided to step out on his priority, and Alicia getting blamed for that. They both wrong as hell, but of course no body seems to think Swizzy did anything wrong here....go figure!
*** THAT IS FOUL.......BUT IT TOOK 2 SO SWIZZ IS TO BLAME AS WELL......I WONDER WHO GOT IT POPPIN WIT WHO 1ST.......LIKE WHO INITIATED IT 1ST? YEA SWIZZY IS UGLY BUT MASHONDA WAS WIT HIM & IS IN LOVE WIT HIM AND THEY HAVE A CHILD.......SO HE MUST NOT B THAT BAD. BUT WIT ALL THE MEN ALICIA COULD HAVE...Y DID SHE HAVE 2 GO AFTER THIS WOMAN'S MAN?
Boooo. I mean really who is married to who? As xInLife said Swizz was the one who said the vows to Mashonda. So therefore Mashonda needs to take the infidelities up with her husband. If Alicia is messing with Swizz knowing that he is married yes she is wrong but she doesnt owe Mashonda or anyone one else anything. I dont agree with any infidelities within marriages but Swizz plays more of a role in this than Alicia because he is the one who took and made the vows. He should be the one to take it seriously before anyone else.
Ms Mashona stay a strong devoted black women please dont get caught up in this media drama...f*ck SWIZZ BONEY AZZ AND ALCIA TOO...LET GOD DEAL WITH THEM MAMA...STAY STRONG AND DEVOTED TO YOUR CHILDREN. STAY POSITIVE MAMA. ALOT OF MEN NOWADAYS ESPECIALLY IN THE MEDIA ARE LOST AND CORRUPT SOULS...REAL TALK.
ITS A NO WONDER THIS WORLD IS SO *** BACKWARDS AND CONFUSED...YALL SUPPORTIN A MAN WHO ALLEDGALLY RAN OUT ON HIS FAMILY AND WIFE FOR A WOMAN AKA ALICIA WHO IS SUPPORTIN THE FACT THAT HE WOULD DO THAT....IF WOMEN GAVE NO RECOGNITION TO MEN THAT DO DUMB *** LIKE THAT....SITUATIONS LIKE THESE WOULD PROBABLY CEASE TO NO EXISTENT. U WOMEN AND MEN NEED TO WAKE AND GET WISE.
I WOULD NEVER ALLOW A MARRIED FAMILY MAN TO WANT OR DESIRE ME ESPECIALLY IF HES STILL SUPPOSE TO BE MARRIED AND A FATHER. STOP SUPPORTING IGNORANCE AND WANT CONTINUE TO ELEVATE. WHY WOULD U WANT TO BE WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT KNOWING THAT THEY CAN START A FAMILY WITH YOU GIVE U A RING AND THEN DUMP U BECUZ THERE SO CALLED NOT SATISFIED????? THATS WRONG AND EVIL ON ALL LEVELS.
ALSO, BULLSHH*T! AND FOR U LAMEZ SUPPORTIN THE IDEA AND FACT ARE UNFORTUNATELY LOST ON REALITY, KARMA AND LOVE. U DONT MAKE VOWS TO SOMEONE AND THEN DITCHED THEM. BUT KARMA IS REAL AND MASHONDA SHOULD JUST LEAVE THIS SITUATION IN GOD HANDS.
OK LET'S SAY THIS STORY IS TRUE, ALL I HEAR IS ALICIA'S NAME BEING SLAMED IN THIS ARTICAL BUT REMEMBER IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO. MAYBE SWIZZ SHOULD HAVE TAKING INTO CONCIDERATION HIS WIFE AND KID. ALSO THERE IS TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY . AS FAR AS SOMEONE SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO QUIT THE TOUR I'M PRETTY SURE SHE REPLACEABLE GET A GRIP.
WHY IS EVERYONE COMING DOWN ON ALICIA KEYS...SHE DID NOT PUT A GUN TO SWIZZ BEATZ HEAD AND SAID COME BE WITH ME.....ALL I AM SAYING IT IS A 2 WAY STREET .... AND THE HOME WAS SOOOOO HAPPY AND PUT TOGETHER HE WOULD NOT BE OUT WITH MS KEYS
SO F YALL HATIN ON MY GIRL
LIKE YOU ALL ARE SUCH ANGELS...EAT A D!CK
Messing with someone's husband is not a good look does not matter who it is, if he was going to leave his wife for any other woman the decent thing to do is - not let her hang and read about it but tell her and give her a chance to deal with it privately before it hit the media. If this is true F*ck AK just because she got talent doesn't make it right.
1. This is only ONE side of the story. 2. Alicia didn't wreck anyone's home. Swizz did that. If he was concerned with homelife and his wife, this wouldn't be an issue. 3. Get off that "respect for another sister" bs. You don't hear white women saying that *** when another white woman cheats with their husband.
There's no loyalty in adultery dummy!
I love AK Music and still stand up for it.
However if this story is true AK and Swizz Beatz are both foul. Him even more so because he made vows and obviously chooses to ignore them.
Alicia I hope for your sake you are not in any way shape or form participating in the demise of another marriage because karma is a B*%ch and like Uncle Sam she always collects.
I love Alicia but girl u disappoint me. Leave di ppl dem man alone...u wil feel a hard blow 2 ur head because this will come back at u a dozen time worse. A married man disgusting...u don't have a man of ur own thats the reason but wait until u get one some chick is going to steal him away , then u will know Karma is a b*tch and u should have kept ur legs closed. And this goes for all u nasty man stealing hoes out there.
BIG UPS TO WHOMEVER IT IS NOT SUPPORTIN ALICIA AZZ ON EVEN FLIRTIN OR CONSIDERIN A REALTIONSHIP WITH A MARRIED MAN AND FATHER. uS BLKS FACE THESE SITUATIONS ALL THE TIME MORE SO THEN ANY OTHER RACE.
Blacks are known for BROKEN FAMILIES. WE must stand up for this my people and stop supprtin the triflen husband and men and sneaky chick and dirty females who not only knows the situaiton but consider it okay to date a married man and a father.
Mashonda keep God by your side ma and u want have to worry about nothing...he may even send u BETTER MAN/FATHER FOR NOT ONLY YOU BUT YOUR CHILDREN. A STRONG DEVOTED MAN THAT WILL BY YOUR SIDE FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END.
PS. nO HOW TO CHOOSE A STRONG MAN OVER A WEAK MAN. EYES LIE BUT YOUR HEART IS THE TRUTH.
I dont know how true this is however, SWIZZ Beats is the one that has the family. He is the man of his house so you can't go blaming Alicia. However, she do play a part of contributing to breaking up a marriage. But at the end of the day HE is responsible for breaking up his own marriage, that is his wife and his son.
I thought Alicia mess with Krucial?? Well she aint that innocent huh. Oh well....
people are saying' that alicia *** get the blame , and i think she should . It's really sad because me being young i actually looked up to her , but now im like wtf .
I think they both should get the blame , because it always take's two for a situation . I think swizzy's action to fly all across the world to be with her rather than his family is crazy !! and i don't care who you are , but if you are messsing around with a married man , especially with kids !!! you are a hoe ! how you gonna ruin someone's family ? that's way disrespectful and so classless . woww .
mayday and Ilovedc, u two took the words outta my mouth. i completely agree... married or not, alicia doesnt have a thing to do with Swizz beat and his infidelities. and no matter how many friends of mashondas wanna write to MTO, it doesnt change the fact that Swizz is the one that went thru with cheating... if anything is to be said about alicia, it's the fact that doesnt she supposedly have a boyfriend? i remember MTO reporting they were getting married in some castle this summer. or were u wrong about that too MTO?
It takes two... Alicia *** get all the heat.. nobody is addressing the fact that Swizz made those vows to Mashonda, if anyone is the devil here it's Swizz... Alicia can't be a homewrecker if Swizz didn't allow his home to be wrecked...ya dig! They are both wrong point blank... Mashonda keep ya head up!
UMMMM ALICA KEYS ISNT TAKIN ALL THE HELL THEY BOTH ARE
BECAUSE IT TAKES TWO PEOPLE TO CHEAT.
STUPID AZZES...*** HOW MANY BOOKS DID SOME OF U GOSSIPAZ READ IN YA *** LIFE AND HOW CLOSE ARE YALL TRULY TO GOD TO NOT BE ABLE COMPREHEND A FOUL SITUTAION...??
AND TO THE PERSON WHO SAID SISTERS NEED TO STICK TOGETHER...THATS IN REGARD FOR ALL SISTERS....BLCK WHITE BLUE OR GREEN WE ALL NEED TO STICK TOGETHER BECUASE WERE ALL GOD BLOOD RELATED. COLOR ISNT A *** FACTOR THATS WHAT WRONG WITH THIS *** COUNTRY.
IF ALCIA KNEW THAT SWIZZ WAS A FAMILY MAN AND MARRIED SHE SHOULD HAD NEVER GOTTEN TO CLOSE WITH HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE...
SO IF ITS TRUE THAT SHE KNEW AND SWIZZ COULD CARELESS ABOUT HIS WIFE FEELING AND HIS CHILDREN FUTURE HAVIN TO DEAL WITH A FATHER WHOM DECIDED TO WALK OUT ON HIS WIFE FOR SELFISH REASONS IS DESTRUCTIVE...U HAVE TO CONSIDER THE EMOTIONS AND CHILDREN HAVING TO DEAL WITH SH*T LIKE THIS THAT HAPPENS ALL THE *** TIME....
SO BASICALLY IF MS KEYS KNEW HELL YEAH SHE IS F'*** WRONG AND SHE IS JUST MORE SORRY AZZ THE SWIZZ BEATZ RAGEDY AZZ.
THEY BOTH DESERVE AZZ WHOOPINZ AND NO *** RESPECT.
MsLAC70 I agree. It's the NORM for black men to go out and cheat and leave their kids. Its sickening. Nobody believes in keeping the family together. WHY THE H*LL did you get married? why get married knowning you aint finish cheating or sleeping around. at the end of the day the kids is the ones who suffer from not having a father in the home to raise them.
Black women need to look in the mirror too for allowing yourself to be the "other" woman! If he left his wife believe he will leave you too. I hate sneaky woman that messes with men knowing they married. Its low class and cold hearted. more than likely the woman got low self esteem. I guess they get caught up in the fun or the heat of the moment. They feel special when that man comes to them and talk about their wife or girlfriend like dogs. It happens all the time. You dont have to dog your significant other out to the other woman to get some ***. I hate men like that and I seen it happen all the time. And those *** sitting back enjoying all of it thinking she special. *** you special for that moment until he run into the next *** that make his *** hard. wake up!
My sister don't be foolish, disobedient, & misled. Turn away from this misunderstanding and be wise. God has shown you favor in your life. This illicit love affair may only last for a moment, then fade away in the wind. God is greater than our heart and knows all things. If you continue down this path, you could end up w/ a black veil over your eyes, debased, only to make awful decisions, filled w/ envy, jealousy, on drugs, not inspired to make anymore hits, seminal injectional fluid in the spine erodes at a faster rate so you age faster...so many more curses...don't let your heart deceive you. Leave it alone! and be blessed w/ financial, spiritual, & mental riches. God's portion is forever. A man's lust is temporary and leads to death.
*** I am trully blowed by this *** here.... I really dont want to believe this story....I kno we got to blame him to but its so hard to not blame "the other woman". I feel bad for Swiss wife its not easy being there for someone for a long time and then all of a sudden they choose to be wit someone else.......hope she pulls through....i hate to think of alicia as a home wrecker tho
Wanna blame someone??.
BLAME SWIZZ BEATS. He's the one with a family. He's the one who possibly initiated pursuing Alicia. If that's the case, why would she be held to a higher standard of what people believe is right or wrong?.
He on the other hand made a commitment to GOD and to his wife to hold, cherish, etc..etc. FOR BETTER OR WORST.
Whatever! WE keep getting Mashonda's side of the story on this site. 1st and foremost, a couple needs to take responsibility for there actions. Swiss didn't (if he did) go to another woman (whoever she is) for no reason. Maybe Mashonda wasn't fulling her wifey duties. We DON'T know.
There is another side to this story that we, the public, have not heard. So therefore, I will NOT judge. Who am is to judge? Who are any of you?
##@@@%^&)() ALICIA IS A *** all yall *** blame swizz blame mashonda thats cause yall are just groupies. now if it was ya moms or sister loosing they family for some next bitc# then yall would be *** as hell at her too. stop idolizing this *** she knew he was married and we all know how women are when they want something! SHE PROBLY PUSHING HIM TO LEAVE HIS FAMILY SO SHE DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING CALLED A HOMEWRECKER,she dont care about that wife the kid or even swizz cause when she donE. wit him she gonna move rite on to the next and he will be lost. DIRTY HOE BEEN ONE SINCE HARLEM WORLD
SOO BASICALLY YALL LADIES ARE SUPPORTIN THE FACT THAT:
IF U MARRY A MAN...AND HE DECIDES HE DOESNT WANT U BECAUSE HE WANTS THAT CHICK AND THAT CHCIK KNOWS HE MARRIED THAT ITS NOT HER FAULT WHAT SO EVER BUT ONLY THE MANS FAULT>??
WOW HOW F'*** STUPID.
First off the woman is wrong for wanting a man whom is already supposely one with another women and second off that man is wrong from wanting to break a spiritual bond and God given gift just for his selfish pleasure.
That it is why it is very crucial that whomever u decide to become one with THATS ITS God chosen because if u go by your own fate its a possiblity ur step was the wrong one to take with God there are no mistakes. In this world basically u cant trust no man or woman, to many snakes liers cheaters and foul azz lost mentally and spiritually people that swarm this earth u have to keep God in front of you. OR ESLE.
Mashonda dont sweat your EX OR THE WOMAN WHO CAN CARELESS ABOUT U OR YOUR FAMILY. MOVE ON AND CONTINUE TO BE A GOOD EXAMPLE TO YOUR CHILDREN AND TO YOUNG AND OLD WOMEN(especially blk) THAT FACE SITUATIONS LIKE YOURS EVERY MINTUTE.
IF NOBODY IN THIS WORLD HAS YOUR BACK THE GREATEST DOES(GOD).
Soulie, why so angry? He was never Mashonda' man in the first place. If he was then he would have rebuffed her advances. In reality the industry is full people are not shall we say in the norm. I'm not surprised by much in the Sports/Entertainment industry. Who knows what he may have been telling her they are both to blame not just she.
lol soulie
Thank you mama...what in the hell is wrong with some of these sisters....
im pretty sure Mashonda is *** at her man and the trick who basically is sayin "F your family and marriage stay with me u dont neeed them"...I mean come on ladies I can see if ALICIA HAD NO CLUE ABOUT HIS PERSONAL LIFE BUT SHE DOES SO THATS WHAT MAKES IT BAD.
not only would some of u sisters be heartbroken at your man but u would hate the trick who decided to stick and support a foolish azz man like that in the first place...if women supported they sisters and be like hell naw to a man whom is still married with kids situations like these would probably have no life.
omggg yall are the dumbest people i've ever came across . YES IT IS TRUE SWIZZ BEATZ DID TAKE VOWS AND IT IS HIS FAULT , but lets be forreal .
It dont matter who you are , what women would insist on taking part of inturrupting a family ! a marriage ! thats ridiculous . yess it is swizz fault as well . he is a DOG ! he needs to be put in the pound . and guess what , alicia is a hoe ! any woman messing w/ a married man with KIDS is a dirty a$$ hoe ! point blank . its so classless . c'mon .
now if any of yall man married you and you had his kids , but he decides to go off with a coworker wtf you gonna do , yeahhh thats right . sit there and boohoo all *** day . yall women are crazy .
1st off, no one can "STEAL" another person's spouse..it takes 2 ppl and nobody is forced to cheat..secondly, mashonda have so F*ckin respect for you and your child...have some dignity, some pride and get rid of that trash, cause in the end, he'll regret it..3rd, all of you defending this woman just bc she's "Beautiful" cut it the f*ck out..the b!tch is settling for sloppy seconds anyway, Alicia should have some *** pride herself! she's messing with someone else's man..so sad that even with her LOOKS, she still has to settle for being the sidepiece.. LOOKS FADE PPL, so hop off her *** already..karma's a b!tch
I wish more men had a better understanding of what it means to be a man and stand up and be repsonsible to the family unit that they formed. not sure why men are marrying women they dont want to be loyal to? A commitment is a serious thing and many fail to realize God honors that. With so many broken, hurt women out here that are so happy "this time it is not me, getting dogged" they dont care if someone elses home is torn up just because they are thirsty, misery loves company.I cant respect a woman that would deal with a married man nor can i listen to a married man brag about his jumpoffs. All this is one more example to show another young boy how to give up and walk away when he is tired. F*ck what white people do we need to be responsible for preserving our own race and what we pass on generation to generation when YT do sh*t the last thing they do is compare themselves to us.
people just look at her image and thinks ' "oh she'd never do that" .
little do yall know , all these artist's put on an image , they are way different behind closed doors , and this is comming from someone who knows for a fact . That's not saying that they are bad and mean but they're not what you think
@mrnotiq:
if thats the case, i hope u wldnt mind if ur wife felt the same way about 4 men she'd like to be with lol
as for alcia she's my grl and maybe she got caught up or maybe this post is bogus. either way mashonda is angry at the wrong person. and i doubt this is the first time her man stepped out on her. she needs to be focusing all her anger on the person who blatantly broke his vows.
ugh.... why blame alicia swiss is the one that messed up the "strong black family" and why do people always gotta play the race card that why the racism still lingers cuz it's always gotta be thrown into the situations. we know ya'll are black.... ya'll weren't that strong of a family oviously cuz where he's at ain't where he wanna be.... and thats why these young females think it's cool to be *** because these dirty d*i*c*k men can't keep it in their pants and it's too many STD's out there to be sleeping around these days... you know Herpes is more common then you think more people have it then you know and they don't even know it.... GET CHECKED AND WRAP IT UP!
YOU KNOW WHAT'S AMAZING TO ME..HOW QUICKLY EVERYONE IS TO BLAME ALICIA FOR BREAKING UP THEIR MARRIAGE AND HOW SHE'S DESTROYING THEIR KIDS LIFE! AWWW...NO...WHO IS DESTROYING THE MARRIAGE AND THE KIDS LIFE IS SWIZZ BEATS, THE *** FATHER. SHE DIDN'T MAKE SWIZZ BEATS DO ANYTHING HE DIDN'T WANT TO DO. SO WHILE YA'LL DUMB-*** OUT THEIR BLAMING ALICIA, YOU NEED TO BE BLAMING HIM. BLAME YOUR HUSBAND MASHONDA!
Some of y'all have a "too-holy" view of Miss Keys, forgetting that she is a person just like y'all just with more money. The rumors may or may not be true but you shoul never think so HIGHLY of some one that they are above f*cking up in life. She aint Jesus.
I really hope it's untrue though, cause it's very unfortunate and is gonna ruin her rep... =/ *sigh* life.
TskTsk264 - who say's that mashonda isn't giving him the blame ? c'mon she has his kid , she has to be doing SOMETHING and it dosn't take a brain to realize that . Just because alicia is your "girl" dosn't mean she isn't a hoe because she's my girl too but im not going to stick up for ignorance .
one question tho ? if she was with your man and she knew about yall relationship would she still be your girl ?
It dont have nothing to do with Mashonda not doing what she got to do in her marriage. Its about us and black men not appreciating what they have. You can be the pretties, fattest ***, good head, *** and believe me 95% of men will still cheat. Its always gonna be somebody else that will make you smile in different ways than your partner. but you dont leave your family.
The woman thats condoning his cheating is just pitiful. They look at as.. "so what it aint my family". *** is selfish. Everybody is about self. Nobody care about the other person. Well If i was Mashonda I will move on with my life and take his big nose azz straight to the bank for disrespecting me and my son. I know she is hurt. but hey it happens to the best of us.
And these rumors been flying around now for months and Alicia has not released a statement denying this.
if women would hold these men accountable for their actions, we wouldn't have so many irresponsible man *** in our community. if leopards could change their spots, they'd be chameleons! AND stop thinking you can change people. if they aren't marriage material when you're dating, vows won't change a thing.
I'm so sick of pitiful women going after the other woman when their man'sbeing unfaithful. What happened to holding your husband accountable for his actions. I hear everybody bashing Alicia but what about Swiss? He's the one who's married, why isn't she leavin' his *** for being unfaithful.
It ain't gonna do you any good to bash the other woman when you're sittin' there accepting it from your own husband.
Grow a backbone and leave his *** already.
I have a hard time believing this story. Alicia can do 10x's better than that Rat Face boy Swizz Beats so I don't buy it! Mashonda needs to realize that her marriage probably ended a long time ago when he checked out of the relationship and that she is using A.Keys as a scapegoat because she needs to blame someone. She should move on with her life and focus on raising her child. If Swizz was indeed cheating on his wife and Alicia had any part in it, Karma will surely catch up to them both eventually. Mashonda should have known from the beginning that when you lie down with dirty dogs you'll get fleas!!!!!!
Now i see Kim *** is just being hated...when her story was she texted someone's hubby y'all were up her @ss now Keys emailed Swizz its his fault why doing this???Y'all need to come outta ya Hate shell and admit...
Well i Blame Keys for all has happened...
Tanzania Rocks Y'all,come visit Kilimanjaro the African peak....
Well maybe if she was being a calm and mature woman at home she would be confronting Swizz too. Why is she expecting so much from an outsider? If he is the cheating type, she must decide to put up with or leave him alone, because there are probably alot more "homewreckers" around to take Alicia place. I am so tired of all these weak women putting the blame on the "other woman" because their so-called "man" does not respect them. Get some self-esteem and kick his @ss out!
@MISSANN - lmao wow how ignorant . i can tell your personality from that one statement .
its a shame what you women stand for , because if it was you it would be a different story . Both are at fault . End of story . I can say one thing , if i was mashonda i woulda been on the news for killing both them bxtches
IF THIS IS TRUE ALICIA YOU ARE A DIRTY GRIMEY ***. THAT IS SO AGAINST THE RULES YOU JUST DONT DO THAT. THEN AGAIN MASHONDA SHOULD BE HANDLING HER BUSINESS AT HOME AND WHUP ALICIA *** AND SWIZZ BEATS *** IN THE PROCESS. REALLY ALL THIS *** IS HIS FAULT CAUSE HE HAS CONTROL OVER WHAT HE DOES. HE OBVIOUSLY WANT TO BE WITH ALICIA... IF THAT IS THE CASE GET A *** DIVORCE AND MASHONDA HER HALF.
I understand completely where Mashonda is coming from, however, Alicia Keys didn't destroy her home. A woman can't make a man cheat. If he's gonna cheat, he's gonna cheat. simple as that. If it weren't alicia then, it would someone else later. But Alicia did play a factor in that, and for her role, she is wrong.
If this is true. A Keys is classless and tri-fling to the max. I despise women who cheat with married men. Now it is not her fault all the way. SHE has no loyalty to the wife. Swizz is the one who is the cheater. He is the one who made vows to his wife and family so it is his cross to bear...but as a woman Alicia should not have even gotten involved.
If all this lovin between Alicia and Swizz happened AFTER an official separation with the wife then that is one thing but if it was when they were reconciling or together then again I say. A Keys is a trifling kinda female. Just messy.
Yes, Alicia deserves some of the blame, but I don't hear the media blaming him!! Mashonda is HIS wife, not Alicia's. Ms. Keys is dead *** wrong...but you can't steal a man who is not willing to be stolen.
We don't cherish anything these days...not sisterhood, not marriage and definitely not one another.
I wish I could move to Mars.
IF THIS STORY IS TRUE ETC AND IF ALICIA KEYS HAS BEEN CREEPING WITH SWISS IT JUST SHOWS HOW IMPERFECT WE ALL ARE
THE FUNNY THING ABOUT ALICIA IS THAT SHE MAKES CERTAIN SONGS ,BUT IN HER PERSONAL LIFE HER TRAITS TOATALLY OPPOSITE
YES I UNDERSTAND WE ARE ALL HUMAN AND AN ARTIST SHOW PERSONNA AND REAL LIFE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT
IS THIS THE NEW ERA ALL ENTERTAINERS GET EXPOSED ::
YOUNG BUCK RICK ROSS ALICIA KEYS ...??
-SCIENCE 205
Alicia is wrong, but I blame b!tcha$$ Swizz Beatz! If he wasn't truly in love with Mashonda why marry her? That is whats wrong with these b!thcha$$ boys running around here marrying the first thing that bend over and then cheating with the second thing that bend over. Get it together and know what a true committed marriage means! All these diseases in the world and you still cheating?
I understand some of you saying he isn't happy with Mashonda - ok, but at least wait until they are really separated and divorced to hook up. Not right after Mashonda has a baby....
Alicia Keys fine as hell though... she must got that Good Good because what man will turn down someone as fine and sexy and alicia keys? one thing makes me laugh when sistas go back to africa on yo *** saying,,,sistas trying to break up black homes and etc... that *** kills me. Who knows, Swizz probably was going to drop his wife anyway, and alicia keys just probably came into his life on time. who knows theres 2 sides to every story. folks just jealous of alicia keys.

MTO with another half assed story and a misleading headline."All the juicy details"...but no word from Alicia, no word from Mashonda and no word from Swizz....hmm right. But you manage to get word from someone who claims to be friends with Mashonda and someone who claims to be on tour with Alicia but ready to quit because Alicia is a homewrecker.....right
And some of you'll kill me with this whole Alicia wouldn't do that, she's classy and that doesn't sound like her, I love her music..... You'll don't know that woman lol
Swizz and Alicia may have something going on if so it's foul but it is what it is
And finally "Members of the press who use information in this article are REQUIRED to credit MediaTakeOut.com for its original reporting"....bwahhhh that is funny

Swizz = grown a$$ man Mashonda = grown a$$ woman Keys= grown a$$ woman
It happens in the hood, it happens in Hollywood. If Shonda want's to fight for her cheating spouse, then so be it. If Alicia wants the challengeof luring him away from his wife, tha's on her soul. He is capable of making choices like anyone else. He just chose to do dirt.
Apple-Pie a La Mode- call me ignorant all you want but I wont end up in Jail for a man who's going to cheat regardless, then she’s really going to have your man because your going to be in jail looking stupid. You’re the wife sitting at home stressing your man about his every move because you’re afraid he's going to cheat Being a nag... When a man is going to be a man.
Agree with most of the bloggers that say it is a 2 way street. This is something Mashonda has to take up with her husband. Alicia can't take nothing that was already gone, and it seem like he wants to be gone. And if that is the case, all that matters is he continue his relationship with his child. And honestly if I was Swizz, I wouldn't deal with Mashonda anyway, with the way she handling it (real hood), broadcasting their marital troubles to the media (MTO at that), and then got her girlfriends speaking for her. That's even worse (you know how girlfriends are)! Don't no man want no woman like that. You see Bey kept her mouth close for a long time. We never knew if Jay and B were on the ins or outs.
@Pepper U have got a point there cuz i swear in this past year I have come across more moral-less people than ever in all my 24 yrs of living (lmao like im sooo old) anyway, by no means am I perfect but *** when does the *** stop? you cant just go on doing people wrong and expect for nothing to happen to u? come on now, thts not how life works.....
hey drc lol, the place he wanted me to go to the interview at was in the woodlands. he wanted me to have the job so he xferred my stuff to their galleria office, so im goin today at 12. the place that i would actually be workin at is just right around the corner from where im at now. so *** hell yea ima take it. 18/hr, hold my purse lol
hey pepp bbfan lol
@MISSANN - personally i would take my *** and bounce , but you say a man is going to be a man , like that's *** is in the bible .
When he said his vows , did the preacher claim "mashonda , you are now wedded husband and wife blah blah blah , but just remember , a man will be a man" . c'mon that makes no *** sense . It's no excuse for such childish actions . If he wanted to be with alicia , then GET A FCKIN DIVORCE then do your dirt .
Classless, Tasteless, Home Wrecker, no respect for fellow Black WOmen! Come on now people let's not pretend that for one matters of the heart know no color lines men have been leaving their wives for other women since the beggining of time, Black, White, Asian, Mexican whatever. Secondly why is A Keys the homwrecker she didnt take any vows, she didnt make any babies, It is Swizz resposibility to break this down to his wife. Lastly Let's not get i twisted for a minute please stop putting the emphasis on Meshonda raising another Black man in a broken home. There are plenty of young black men being raised in split housholds, and they come out just fine, all that takes is commitment from both parents to put that child first. There was obviously something wrong in that marriage, a perfectly happy home cannot be destroyed over ***. Raising a child in an unhappy home does more damage than raising one in a happy split family home. But like most women instead of taking the L, and getting her mind right for her son this will be all about Meshonda and her loss. You cant make a man love u if he dont and u cant make him stay if he wants to go!! Grow the *** up, trust me I've been called a home wrecker, and in all honesty I was just the go to girl when she wasnt on her job!
That's *** up Alicia! both her and Swizz are wrong and if i was Mashonda, i'd cut his ***! Mm Hmm, sure would! then take all that money and leave the country and get me a sexy French man that dont speak english, but'll do ANYTHING i want! ( i got a imagination, don't i?) lol
www.myspace.com/GA_Thyckness
Is this her way of dispelling the *** rumors? ***, Alicia must be the bomb b/w the *** in order for Swizz to fly halfway across the *** planet just to be with her. Can't put it all on Alicia; Swizz is the one that has a family to loose. He's willing to leave his family over this woman? Alicia's beautiful, but she ain't worth breaking up a "happy" home. I'll loose total respect for Alicia & Swizz if this *** is true. And we get on Rick Ross for being phony?
No one can STEAL a person away. No offense, but leave Alicia alone. If Swizz was so happy with his wife...he would have stayed with her.
Stop blaming the female when the man made his choice to leave.
I'm so over women doing this to each other; the constantly blaming each other and the man is out free and clear. Give me a break.
Here is the deal!
Period Point Blank, there are many men and women out here that will settle to be a side kick....they will date a married person and think it is ok...but at the end of the day, you have to blame Swizz if this is all true. He MARRIED Mashonda, he vowed under GOD to be with her....he is obligated to respect and love her...not AK, so lets not blame her....even if she knew he was married and continued to carry on with this rumored madness, all Swizz had to do was say I am married and it's not cool like that....and it would have never gotten this far. He needs to accept responsibility, as HE chose to break his happy home over some ***....so get mad at him....he is married to Mashonda not AK! Let's stop getting mad at the women and check our dudes. If he really loved his wife, this would have never happened!
first off i would like to say that no one on this site knows if this story is legit. Second, the only side of the story that we are hearing about it Mashonda's (or her friends)so we're not getting all of the facts. People are so quick to put blame on certain ones in this situation, why not look at it from ALL angles. how do we know that they have not been having martial problems for a while now?, how do we know that Swizz hasn't moved out of his home a long time ago?, how do we know if his flight to AK's tour wasn't pure business related? we don't, so why go assuming about someone's personal business that we DO NOT KNOW ON A PERSONAL LEVEL? it's so funny how people keep commenting on black men and single homes, so what many of you are trying to say is that ONLY two parenting homes turn out "normal" get over it, i would rather for someone to walk away from a bad situation, than to say that we are doing it for the kids just to turn around and have the kids growning up disfunctional. get a grip. LIFE ISN'T AND DOES NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ABOUT A WHITE PICKETT FENCE ANYMORE. for those who have/want it that way, i'm not knocking your hustle, but don't put a lable on what you feel everyone's life should be.
AMEN@Kaylajoy21 you nailed it!
we attack each other like the man isn't at fault..its his dirty *** that went into someone else....I mean, its so unlady like to wanna be someone's side kick, but hey, it's even worst for a MARRIED man to cheat...so who is really to blame????? The married person who cant control their ***'s and ***!
*COUGH *** COUGH*
THIS SEEMS LIKE A PLOT TO *** A ARTIST NAME WHILE TRYING TO BUILD HER OWN..DONT HOMEGIRL GOT A ALBUM COMING OUT SOON?? SUSPECT!!
JUST READ SOME OF THE STATEMENTS..
i DONT BELIEVE IT!..HER FRIEND LIKE MOSHAUNDA DIDNT WANT TO BELIEVE IT BECAUSE THEY HEARD RUMORS ALICIA WAS ***....SUSPECT!!
as many MTO readers hated to believe that a revered artist as Alicia Keys would be the cause or attributer to another broken family, especially a family where there is a young black man being raised. ....SUSPECT!!
She very calmly, and maturely made Alicia Keys aware that they are married. Of course Alicia never responded to Mashonda. It's like she's ignoring the fact that Swizz has a family.....SUSPECT!!!
MOSHAUNDA CAMP LAST DESPITE ATTEMPT....
Alicia is a home wrecker who has truly wrecked a very intact black home, destroyed a family for no reason but her own personal satisfaction, contributed to another young black man growing up through a broken home, as well as seeing the disrespect one black woman has for another..........SUSPECT AS HELL!!!
BUT MY OPINION IS JUST THAT!
OF COURSE NO ONE CAN TRULY STEAL ANOTHER PURPOSE, AND SWIZZ IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS, HOWEVER, THIS STANK *** *** DON'T HAVE TO STEP INTO A ALREADY BAD SITUATION. IT'S CALLED "RESPECT." PROBLEM NOWADAYS PEOPLE USE ANY EXCUSE TO DISRESPECT THE THINGS FORMALLY "UNTOUCHABLE." WHY TALK TO, DATE, OR SEE A MARRIED MAN PERIOD? NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS, WHATEVER LIES HE MAY OR MAY NOT BE TELLIN HER, ALICIA IS WRONG. SHE *** HAVE EVEN ENTERTAINED ANY KIND OF ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT MAN UNTIL HE WAS TOTALLY FREE "DIVORCED." LET HIM WORK OUT HIS SITUATION WITHOUT HER JUMPIN INTO IT. AND PEOPLE CAN SAY WELL HE WAS STRAYING, OR HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN STOLEN, I AGREE. HOWEVER, LIKE I SAID, IT TAKES TWO COMMIT ADULTERY..LOVE TO SEE HOW SHE GONE EXPLAIN THIS ONE TO GOD, CAUSE HE DON'T TAKE EXCUSES LIKE "WELL HE TALKED TO ME FIRST." LOL
P.S. I DON'T SEE WHERE SHE'S SO CUTE..SHE LOOKS LIKE A BIG STRETCH COOCHIE PIG LIKE *** TO ME. IT LOOKS LIKE HER STUFF GETS NO AIR, AND IT PROBABLY SMELLS LIKE PORK RINDS. MASHONDA'S BODY LOOKS WAY BETTER THAN ALICIA'S. ALICIA IS BORDERLINE FAT, AND HER PANTS ALWAYS BE TOO TIGHT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HER STUFF BE STANKIN IN THEM PANTS. AND HER LEGS LOOK LIKE POLES.
@IknowIknow: u said the smartest sh!t up here.
First of all, any dude would cheat if Alicia approached him like that, i know i would lol...and i've never cheated before
Secondly, who cares? That marriage was already on the way out the door, which is why he felt the need to cheat in the first place. So Alicia didn't break up a "happy family," he already wanted out! lol
@MTO: NO CREDIBLE NEWS SOURCE WOULD EVEN STEAL THIS ***!T A$$ STORY, YOUR UN-NAMED NOBODY SOURCE SAYS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. IT WOULD MAKE THEM LOOK STUPID LOL...AND NOBODY ON TOUR WITH ALICIA KEYS OR ANYONE OTHER ARTIST WOULD "THREATEN" TO QUIT CUZ SOME ***!T LIKE THIS LOL
Why is everyone blaming Alicia??? Ummm, doesn't Swizz have the right to say 'NO'? Is he not a consenting adult, who can make his own decisions? No one can 'steal' anyone - they have to want to leave on their own.
If this story is true, then it is true do to the fact that they want to be together - not because Alicia took him away from his wife.
Really - for real, for real, he was probably open to cheating, and just happened to have found someone open to allowing him.
Don't blame Alicia. Blame Swizz. Unless he is mentally retarted and unstable, then he knew exactly what he was doing...
1st off I don't believe this. 2nd, IF it is true, let's get one thing straight...
"Alicia is a home wrecker who has truly wrecked a very intact black home, destroyed a family for no reason"
Ummm no boo. That would be Swizz. He broke the home up. He is the one who is married. I'm tired of stupid females blaming the other chick when it's their man to blame. If my husband cheated on me, he would be the first to get his skull cracked.
Wow! Reading most of the comments on here definately explains why there's soo many black single parent mothers. Alicia Keys carry's herself very well in the publics eye, but nobody except God know's how she is behind closed doors. People act like this story can't be true or that's she's soo above behavior like this. Don't get it twisted she is imperfect and human just like anyone else and is capable of the same immoral crimes like anyone else. The only difference is she just may have more money in her pockets doing it.
ALICIA???!! say it aint so??!!! U know what..I don't put anything past any one but DAYUM girl! *smFh* VERY DISAPPOINTED! & w/ Tucan Sam on top of that??!! WHOA!
Hello hello...
What it doooooo?
Blax SEXY mr cbr ..I like the new avi..OWWW grrr! ATL...folk! hehe Sharies
My tag today and OUT to Mi Jakey..AKA MY angel eyes DJ...GRRRR!
MTO yall crack me up with yall's little pitiful little threat to other major media outlets who come on here and jack yall's stories on the regular. RLMAO. They ain't givin yall credit for a dang thing! Fred sit cho arse down. IF THIS IS TRUE, IFFFFF. . .we must all remember it takes two to tango. If Alicia did send for Swizz to be with her in Italy he could have said no I want to be at home with my wife and son. But apparantly he wanted to be with her too. Mashonda's friend needs to stop villifying ALicia only. Swizz did his dirt too!
@ApplePieaLaMode exactly...I blame him too! he is 100% wrong....and Im actually not pointing fingers at Alicia either.....cause i dont know where she stands with all of this or even if any of this is true.....who I am speaking to is the ones tht know tht someone is in a relationship and then they leave tht person for u.....then these crazy folks are like "o well I got ur man/girl now" wtf r u serious? u both are wrong and u both will have to pay...there is no avoiding Karma Boo!!!
wow! i am in complete awe right now. ms.keyes seems such a lovely young lady,i'd hate to think for even a second that this could be true.hopefully, this is just another one of mto's typically "made up" stories.if this story is true,then i say shame on both alicia and swizz.this is the very problem that has destroyed so many black families already.where is their dignity and respect for wedding vows and marriages? well,hopefully this isn't true.if so, i will never be able to appreciate or respect alicia again. swizz,i could care less about.
A man will always be a man, Alicia Keys cross the line. She should have known her place and if she was a side piece she should have stayed in her position. I am very disgusted with Alicia Keys. And regardless how much a man loves his wife temptation is all around what alicia did sinful and she had to know that she will not keep him under those pretense.
Alicia is a "HOE", thats what hoes do pry on other men. that Bit(h should have known her place, the back burner.
BISH BABEE!!! *HUGS AND KISSES*
WHATS UP!?!?! LIKE I AINT ALREADY TALK TO YOU...LOL.... wHERE THE HELL IS CD AT?? i MISS HIM...LOL

WUSUP ANT BABY... YOU GOOD TODAY?? ;p
HEY SHARIES!!! *HUGS*
*TAKING BOTTLE OF MIDOL FROM PEPP* SWOLLOWING THE WHOLE BOTTLE* LOL
2 SIDES TO EVERYTHING YA KNOW THAT!!! as in the case with my auntie (now going thru divorce)! found out my she got lazy and basically cut off the *** in the marriage w/ my unc (b4 there was any other chic on the side!!!!) at 1st we fell bad for HER then it was like hmmm, i would do that! speaking of what men would do: DO YA SEE ALICIA KEYS??? lets say Mashonda did start slipping in stuff she normally did, A Keys walks in ya life, all gorgeous, fat ***, fat kat (u could tell from EVERY set of jeans she wears mmm...lol), talented *** all that --- anyone would do that!!!
Whatever. Alicia can't break up that home. Swizz owes her the respect of her and their child together.Some people don't care if you're in a relationship or not. Her music has nothing to do with it. Mashonda you sound like a scorn women and you need to chill.This happens to everyone at some point, but to put he on blast isn't cool. Who am I to judge?
Why are people blaming Alicia? Swizz is married to Mashonda and HE is the one cheating. Mashonda should check his A** and not Alicia. I hate it when woman jump all over the other woman. She is not your friend (hopefully). She did not make a commitment to you. Blame that no good man for breaking up your happy home and if it were that happy, he probably would still be there.
HTOWN - I hope you get it baby girl... You so deserve it.. I'll keep my fingers crossed.. do they drug test? LMAO
sharies12 - Hey girl, you good today.. I am so ready for Friday..

JESSrabbit232 - I dont share!!
I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS BUT IF THIS IS TRUE. LICIA REMMBER WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND. EVEN IF SHE ENDS UP WITH A CHICK THE CHICK MIGHT END UP CREEPING ON HER. WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD OLD FASHION MORALS? THAT **** WENT OUT OF THE WINDOW A LONG TIME AGO. THE OLE' SAYING GOES YOU CAN NOT TURN A H** INTO A COMMITTED PERSON. MY TAKE LET HIM GO AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END.
"She always believed the rumors that Alicia Keys was ***"
this site lie and put out silly stories, but this post is too in depth and well prepared for them to come up with. The email came directly from Alicia's team because they made sure to include the *** rumors only to dispel them with this affair mess. They need to stop being so obvious, but they will do anything to keep something hidden. Even at the expense of people being DUPED.
Aiight so whats the problem because i dont see one!
What do you women think?....because your girlfriends and yaself are *** ya man is gonna come back! If homie doesnt wanna be with mashonda guess what...HE WONT! its a wrap! she should just take comfort in the fact that her son will be taken care of and bounce!
And what does the chick in Alicia's camp think she's doing?! If she wanna bounce then bounce n*gga im certain there are Thoooooousands of replacements for you.
Mashonda looks good but Alicia looks even BETTER! and who knows what MASHONDA wasnt doing to make her lose her husband! yall chicks stop thinking its always the mans fault!
Oh puh lease! That is a bunch of ***!t!! How can you blame the other woman? Give me a break! Men never get heat for anything! Swizz Beatz took vows and got married not Alicia Keys!!! Stop with the "broke up a black family" *** too! Always gotta pull the race card for sympathy! This tops one of the most ridiculous stories MTO has ever posted about! In that whole article not once did this "insider/source" blame Swizz and hold him responsible. Sour grapes! Mashonda is just mad that her lavish lifestyle is about to end! *** get a job! And stop blaming some woman who you don't even know really is sleeping with your husband! He is a producer/rapper you should know what comes with that! And you know *** WELL that is not the first time he has cheated on you if he even is with A.Keys! But because she is A.Keys you want to blab to the media! Just like with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie everyone blamed her instead of him! Complete utter sexist ***!t! We were a black family... blah blah blah *** up!
I'm still not sold on if this story is true or not actually I hope it's not bc Alicia seems like such a positive person, however if it is it's crazy how so many of you are holding up for Alicia bc she's your favorite artist or you think she's beautiful does talent and beauty give you the right to go after a married man???
No a woman can not make a man leave his wife and kids if he really loves them and wants to be there however that is not an excuse to step into someone's marriage I don't care if they were already having problems you just stepped in and created more of a problem!
As I said before I don't know if this story is true but if it is Mashonda's problem is with Swizz and Alica neither one of them is excused!!!
@broken I understand what you're saying about men needing to blamed too that is definitely true he is not off the hook however it sounds like you are saying that a woman that messes with a married man is not at fault thats CRAZY bc she is just as wrong for wanting someone that belongs to someone else and to say she's just mad about that her lavish life is about to end and she needs to get a job well thats even CRAZIER lol Swizz is her husband he's supposed to help take care of her and their child!!!
This is a special situation because everyone knew Swizzy was married to Mashonda, but what happens when the man is completely deceptive about his family life by conveniently omitting that he married his "baby's mother"??
My friend found out that her man was married only when his wife called her cell 3 months into their dating. Men are not innocent!
I am not saying that she isn't at fault! I am simply saying that the one who is married should be held accountable! It's sounds like Mashonda is all fine and dandy with Swizz because he is the source of her $$$ but is upset with a woman who owes nothing to her! Yes a man should support his family but that wasn't my point either. The point is now she will have to get up and actually make money other than the child support and alimony is she gets because she is accustomed to him just giving her money to spend without a second thought.
I said what I said because whenever a man cheats with another woman the other woman gets blamed ALWAYS! Yet no one seems to care that it was the man who was married! And that they are lying deceitful ***! He could have told Alicia Keys that they were separated and heading for divorce- which they were! Which MTO reported and everything, weren't they in the process of getting divorced?
@TheBrokenSilence: Don't waste ya time tryna spit some knowledge at these dumb a$$ tricks. Most of them are so plain stupid that they wouldn't know common sense if it smacked them in the face.
Swizz is the one who was married, not Alicia. His marriage was in the trash can already lol...And now his bitter, soon-to-be ex wife's freeloadin a$$ is tryna get media attention and come out as the bigger person. When it was her naggin ways that lead him to stray in the first place. OR, she was a good wife, and Swizz is jus a plain cheater...either way, he don't want to be with her a$$ lol
Alicia and Swizz are both adults. Just like other marriages, people can grow apart. Swizz doesn't have to be in an unhappy marriage to raise his children. Alicia has no obligations to his wife or family. I'm sure Swizz has made it clear to his wife, the relationship is over. Mashonda is desperate to keep a man who don't want her. Get over it.
HERE IS THE THING...
HOW CAN A WOMAN "STEAL" ANOTHER WOMANS HUSBAND? IT AINT F*CKIN POSSIBLE..THE MAN LEFT WILLINGLY!!
YEP ALICIA MAY BE WRONG ON HER PART, BUT SHE DIDNT TAKE THOSE VOWS BEFORE GOD..HE DID!!!
IF MY HUSBAND CHEATED, UNLESS SHE IS A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER (THEN I WOULD KILL THE BYTCH!!) I AM GOING AFTER THAT ***, NOT THE OTHER WOMAN, REGARDLESS OF IF SHE KNEW HE WAS MARRIED.
SWIZZ WRECKED HIS MARRIAGE BY F*CKIN ALICIA, NOT ALICIA...YALL ACT LIKE MEN CANT THINK OR MAKE DESICIONS FOR THEMSEVES WHEN IT COMES TO P*SSY!!
BULLSH*T!!!!
<BLAXICAN> *** u very much. thrice.
<BIG_BOOTY> no expolding booty cherry poppers?
<JAKEY> u keep on and u gonna make me divorce our child.
<***> wut dey do folk (*** u BISH)? the dog days of summer have officially arrived. *** makes no *** sense. u gotta make ur way to the A sometime soon cuzzo.
<PEPPER> i deserve better.
I don't know if the story is true or not. But if it is Alicia is snake. you don't mess with a married man Period. If you want him, wait til his divorce is done. If its true Swizz Beats is hella snake. if you don't want ole girl get a divorce. dont step out. mashonda is not at fault, she not stepping out. I can't believe people here taking up Alicia Keys. You don't mess with someone else's husband/wife period. I mean that's basic. If people dont know that, then some missing in their head. And yes everyone is right, you can't take a man who doesn't want to go. However, if there are problems another woman will do nothing but strain those issues even more. It's disgusting how women are taking up for Alicia Keys. It explains the state of some many black people and families today.
@ FALIZZLE,
I REALLY DONT BELIEVE ITS THAT PEOPLE ARE NECESSARILY TAKING UP FOR ALICIA, BUT THE MARRIED PERSON IS THE ONE THAT CAN DESTROY HIS/HER FAMILY, NOT AN OUTSIDER.
I GET HIT ON ALL THE TIME BY MEN BOTH MARRIED AND SINGLE (AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT THERE ARE MANY MEN THAT PREFER TO GET DOWN W/ A MARRIED WOMAN) BUT.. IT IS UP TO ME BEING THE FAITHFUL PERSON THAT I AM TO SAY..HELL NO! I AM NOT DOING THIS TO MY HUSBAND, TO MY FAMILY!!! I CANT BLAME ANOTHER MAN IF I CHOOSE TO STRAY I DONT CARE IF MY HUSBAND AND I ARE HAVING PROBLEMS ARE NOT
I CAN CONTROL WHO I GIVE MY P*SSY TO!!! ITS ABOUT CHOICE..
NOW AS FAR AS ALICIA IS CONCERNED, SHE WILL GET HERS WHEN SWIZZ DOES THE SAME THING TO HER..IT WONT BE A SURPRISE!

@alicia-has-workers: you're way too fu(kin stupid and crazy too even address me. the fu(*** outta here wit ya "proof" lol...until u send in a pic of swizz and keys doing anything remotely indicative of an affair, *** the fu(*** up...o *** i never defended ms keys actions (if this bs is even true), i said she's the one who isn't married, so swizz is the one to blame, point blank. talkin bout u got pics LOL, yea the fu(*** right. a real photographer would've been sold those sh!ts b4 this ***!t story runs it's course. KICK ROCKS HOE! AHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Excuse me but it takes two to tango so dont be blaming Alicia Keys for wrecking his family. If Swizz Beats had any respect for his family, he wouldnt be stepping out on his wife. Its not right to have an affair with a married man, but she doesnt know his family so her heart strings might not be as attached to them as his should be. if he loved and cared about his wife and kids he would be home with them and not running around on them. so dont be blaming Alicia for being a home wrecker. Swizz Beats wrecked his own home. If he wasnt stepping out with Alica he'd be stepping out with someone else..and probably already is anyway.
ROCK ON ALICIA! AND GET YOU A SINGLE MAN, (OR WOMAN HAHA), IDIOT!
alright, first of all no man gets "stolen" if they don't want to be "taken" obviously swizz beats was encouraging her behavior too, because if he didnt want to get with Alicia then he would have told her to leave him alone. and lets stop putting Alicia on a pedistool becuase she's an artist and makes songs...just because she makes songs called Karma and superwoman doesnt mean anything...it's a song, she could be speaking on someone else's situation, not to mention the fact, maybe she didnt even write the song...none of us know Alicia's character, none of us are her mother, friend or her man to know her personality to even say, "i can't imagine her doing that" how can you not imagine that when you dont know her just becuase she acts a certain way on a video or song??!!! yea, acts a certain way...these artists sleep and *** and f**k just like we do...so who cares, that is there business, if it wasn't Alicia it would be some other girl...Alicia is the only one who has to live with herself for this, so let her live!
MTO is full of $hit! Are we really to believe that one of Mashonda's "closest friends" would dish out the dirt on Mashonda's marriage to MTO of all places, especially after Mashonda has come out more than once and stated that wanted to kill the rumors that were flying around the media (via her interview with vibe.com)?
What speaks volumes to me is that NO ONE has come out with a pic of Alicia and Swizz all coupled up. MTO claimed to have spies that saw Alicia and Swiss together in ATL. If so, why didn't they snap a picture to prove it?
The paps can come up with pictures of Alicia in Asia, Europe, etc. and as explosive and PROFITABLE as those types of pictures would be, why is it that the paps (or anyone for that matter) have yet to catch these two in the act? This chick from Alicia's tour who claimed that Alicia was sporting Swizz all around Italy could have easily snapped a pic herself and anonymously released it to MTO, especially since she is supposedly dishing out the goodies on this story.
I don't doubt that this story may be true BUT MTO needs to cut the BS and come out with some real proof instead of bragging about how they copped some "exclusive story" that's really nothing new. This may be an entertaining read but it is NOTHING that MTO hasn't posted before. If this so called news is so explosive, why is MTO the only one jumping on this "exclusive?" Could it be that MTO is not "credible?"
Please get some REAL evidence before you recycle the same tired story MTO!!
Y IS ALL THIS FALLING ON HER YES SHES WRONG I HATE WOMEN LIKE THAT WHO WILL MESS WITH A MAN KNOWING HE ALREADY HAS A WOMAN BUT AT THE SAME TIME SWIZZ IS THE ONE WHO IS WRONG HE KNOWS HE HAS A WIFE AND CHILE ALSO AND HE IS THE ONE MAKING THE DECISION TO LEAVE THEM AND GO MESS WIT HER SHE CANT MAKE HIS *** DO NOTHING IM NOT EVEN SURE IF THIS WHOLE THING IS TRUE BUT IF IT IS ITS NOT JUST HER FAULT YOU DONT KNO WUT HE COULD BE TELLING HER MAYBE HES TELLING HER THEY ARE SEPERATED OR ANYTHING BUT LIKE I SAID SHE CANT MAKE HIM DO NOTHING IN THE END HE HAS THE CHOICE
U know what, I've been a woman scorned and played, but i dont understand why these females arent putting any responsibility on Swizz.
A man doesnt go anywhere he dont want to and he doesnt do anything he doesnt want to do, if any of this is tru. You cant steal somoenes man if he wants to go with the next. I dont see him kicking & screaming, and if it wasnt Alicia it would probably be another chick.
But if she did continue pursuing after all that *** she is wrong but make no mistake, the real choice was Swizz's to make.
oh kill this *** already MTO! why is it constantly Mashonda's side being reported? What is this, her DESPERATE attempt to get some hype before her irrelevant *** album drops?
Maybe this mess will be a little more believable once Alicia or someone in her IMMEDIATE camp speaks on her behalf. If that day never comes, I can't even be mad because unlike Mashonda, Alicia has a REAL career to focus on, and feeding into some D-listed singer's drama ain't worth the time of day.
And I have yet to figure out when men choose to get married if they dont want to commit to one person? God im 31 yrs old and i see soo much ***. I have so many male friends who have gotten married only to go out and have one *** stands and jump offs. Why? isnt the whole purpose of getting married is to be SURE you will forsake all others? WTF! Dont even put yourself in a position of having to break up your family just for the stroke of new/strange puzzy! Dont play yourself and LIE to God if you dont intend on disciplining yourself!

What most people fail to realize is that the man who made the wedding vows and broke them should be held accountable. The other woman didn’t promise anything to anyone. All y’all on here judging the wrong person get on my last nerve. There had to be a problem in the relationship before the supposed affair started. Like Keyshia Cole says, “You need to get if he don’t wanna/love you the right way he ain’t gonna/it ain’t where he’s at it’s where he/where he wants to be!” Nobody put a gun to his head and made him fly around the world to be with her if that’s the case. The ignorance just annoys me! I hate it when people exclusively blame only the other woman like she stood at the altar and made vows. Hypocrites!
@JeanGrey: How is this contrary to her image? I'd like to know. She's an intelligent, talented, sexy female who puts out great music and does tons of non-profit volunteer work for charities...so explain to me how a personal matter (if this is even true) reflects upon her image as a "strong black sista?" Who she's fu(kin is her business, point blank period. If she's fu(kin swizz, good for her. If she's fu(kin chicks, good for her. If she wants to come fu(*** Romaine, good for me! lol
I think both are wrong. Anyway we would you want to sleep with a man thats already married. That shows you have no respect for yourself. At anytime he can go back to his wife. Imagine you were the wife and she was the mistress. Wouldn't you real hurt too? Karma is a ***. I would never in my life sleep with a man that is married. Its his fault as well for seeking someone outside his wife. If hes not happy then get a divorce then do whatever. But Alicia may find herself alone and hurt if he decides to get back with his wife. He should be ashame of himself. Adultery is a sin and could be your ticket to hell. Any woman with any decency and respect would not carry on an affair with a married man. I could see if he was separeted and getting a divorce that's different. But him going home to his wife,after he *** you. LMAO! then go *** his wife. That's nasty and you getting cheated too while he has his cake and ice cream with xtra toppings,lol
The saddest part about the “reporting” of this story is how it assigns “all blame” to Alicia…I mean come on, lets “reexamine” what was stated in the so called “insiders” statement. The person “claims” that Alicia sent an inappropriate message to Swizz’s blackberry…well WHO gave her his number (Swizz of course)…and WHAT was his part of the conversation? Then the informant goes onto complain about him “leaving” his wife in the middle of a reconciliation to join Alicia on tour. So let’s get this straight Alicia was “on tour,” over seas, Swizz decided to leave and run after her. So where is HIS accountability? Bottom line…the story is big because of the name “Alicia Keyes” not the philandering double dealing cheating hubby Swizz Beats…the individual who chose to leave “his” son and “his” wife. It’s clear that the informant on behalf of the wife doesn’t want to admit what is obvious…IF it wasn’t Alicia Keyes it would have been some one else. Ignoring the fact that “he” is unfaithful, and attacking the “other woman” is not going to change “who he is” and what “he wants to do.” Yes there will be another young black child raised in a broken home and another disrespected black woman…but Swizz Beat could have chosen to NOT make (yes make as in his doing) his family another statistic.
Life comes with choices, and swizz Beat made a decision to step out on wifey. He made the commitment and vow to his wife not Alicia, on the other hand, Alicia's choice were to mess with a married man, most married men doesn't leave the wifey, the woman they're seeing will most likely be the one getting the heart break, because Swizz Beat will go back to wifey. A piece of azz, is just what it is, a piece of azz. If given the opportunity, of course a man will hit, a hard d/i/c/*** has no conscience (awareness of right or wrong.) So wifey should speak with her hubby, because he is the one sleeping with wifey.
@honey_do- how do u know she was not on her job? Is that what he told you? I have a friend in this situation and she's always talking about how his wife don't do this, she don't do that but how do you know? Women kill me using that as an excuse. He will sneak around with you but of course he's telling YOU the truth about everything. I've had plenty of guys step to me with that oh what my girl/wife aint doing for me and i tell them if they are not happy then leave but don't look at me like i'm about to do what she should be doing. That's because I respect females, any female. I don't do things to people that I don't want done to me point blank.
@Romaine LMAO
i was chillin and ole boi just try to ride ma CL!T- but little do that *** "duceconstant" knows that you try to get on ma ride I will neva fall back ..t we FINNA ride dis *** till da wheels fall off

am gonna go Postal on this SWEET CAKES ***!gga
SUP YA'LL IM HAPPY TO INTRODUCE MYSELF... IM NEW ON HERE!!! TO BE HONEST I JUST GOT A REAL MEMBERSHIP BUT I STOP'D IN EVERY NOW, AND THEN TO SEE WHAT THIS IS ABOUT! AND HONESTLY, ALOT OF THESE "STORYS" ARE JUST THAT.. "STORYS"! PURE FICTION....
BUT IM INCLINED TO KINDA THINK THIS ISN'T TRUE, BECAUSE ALICA RECENTLY MADE IT PUBLIC THAT HER AND HER CREATIVE PARTNER, KRUCIAL KEYS HAVE BEEN TOGETHER ON THE LOW SINCE SHE CAME INTO THE GAME.
IDK... BUT I SAW THIS ONE PICTURE AWHILE BACK THAT ALICIA TOOK AT SOME BIG EVENT AWHILE AGO... AND I SWEAR IT LOOK LIKE SHE PACK'***!
I will out both of them at fault. Especially Alicia because she knew that man was married and she still plotted. It's one thing if she had no idea. I can't stand *** azz plotting azzz btches. That chick is going to get what she deserves with her non singing azz. Never brought none of her cds her voice is garbage.
I UNDERSTAND THE WIFE WHY? SHE MIGHT BE MAD AT ALICIA KEYS BUT WHAT WOMEN IN GENERAL FAIL TO REALIZE ALICIA DID NOT HOLD A GUN TO SWIZZ BEATZ HEAD AND MADE HIM MESS WITH HER AROUND HIS WIFE BACK AND YES AT THE SAME TIME ALICIA SHOULD RESPECT THEIR MARIAGE. IN MY OPIONION AS LONG AS THE WORLD GOES ROUND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE WHO WILL WANT YA MAN OR YA GURL ITS UP TO THEM NOT TO GIVE IN. SO TO THE WIFE CHECK SWIZZ BEATZ HE MADE THE VOWS TO YOU.
It doesn't matter if he told her he was separated to heading towards divorce or not the key word is headed which means he's still married wait til the divorce is final before trying to pursue a relationship, do you know how many ppl that were once separated work things out and got back together??? But I'm not disagreeing with you totally bc you're definitely right when you say the man gets off easy, the woman should be checking her man/husband more than anybody!
@pepper Lmao I don't know about that we haven't taken our E-relationship that far yet!
and Mto pls fix these servers I've been locked out of this thread for hours which is really ridiculous!!!
Mashonda needs to be a real woman and face up to why her marriage is really ending. I believe that her marriage has been in jeopardy for a while. Alicia keys is not the first woman to be linked to Swizz. But b/c Alicia is a *** Mashonda choose her to put on blast. Mashonda got pregnant to try to save her marriage and it back fired on her. Now she is embarassed that she will be a single parent and her husband is publicly dating Alicia when they are not even divorced yet. I think the only reason Swizz was even considering saving his marriage to Mashonda was b/c of his son. Alicia is not the one who is married to Mashonda, so she needs to stop bad mouthing her and take her problems up with Swizz.
Pepper SPOONISHA CHRIS MAY HAVE GONE IN STRAIGHT

hahahahaha!!!! have fun!! last time i checked pep we were cool!! what happened i dont know or give a ***!! lmaoo! but its good though!
This story is just BS. Like seriously,why do the women always get called home wreckers? In diff situations? Alicia doesn't owe Mashonda a *** thing, she ain't married to her swizz is. She needs to be mad at him. There is no such thing as ruining a marriage, or even stealing someones man. He's w/ her cuz he wants to be she ain't forcing him no matter what a chick does, if a man wants to be with you he'd stay.
