Comment: On a serious note, these two adults have children and this stuff is in the paper. I know they're being teased and ridiculed at school because kids are cruel. I just feel so sorry for the innocent kids. They didn't break no rules.

Comment: I read the whole text transcript. The reason why this is all in public is that the texts/palm pilots were city goverment property. The lesson is if you are going to carry on an affair, use your own palm pilot/computer instead of government issued ones. Kwame is so busted.

Comment: I am sooo tired of these greedy, needy, ungrateful, tired men disrespecting their wives, disregarding their children and just saying fu** it to vows and promises they made in front of God and family. This is why I will never get married again. Don't only feel sorry for the kids.. these wives are embarrassed, humiliated, hurt..damned if they stay with these lying pieces of dirt and damned if they leave!!

Comment: I don't know why wives cheat..that's a totally different topic. I just want to understand your theory of Christine's role in this matter. In your opinion, what role did she play in her husband's decision to lie to her, destroy their family and publicly humiliate her? What is your basis for labelling her complicit, willing, self-absorbed and star-struck? What do you mean when you say it takes two to tango?

Comment: coco - What do you mean Christine's role? She isn't the one who carried on the affair. Yes, some women continued to stay in a marriage with a man (for whatever reason) and know he's cheating, but you can't say that she knew. Do you know her? Did she tell you she was aware of the affair? Most men/women who cheat will go to great lengths to conceal their affairs. I remember reading a story about a man (a doctor I think) who was married to two women, both with children who lived just six miles apart and neither one had any inkling of what was going on. I do believe that a woman's intuition kicks in a lot of times and she knows SOMETHING is not right, but may not know exactly what. Sometimes we try to find out. Sometimes we let it go. But sometimes, you just don't know.

Comment: >vincent…Christine Beatty (sp?) is the woman Kwame cheated with. She was just as married as Kwame still is. And how is it a "totally different" topic when we speak of cheating wives? Cheating is cheating, right? Since when is cheating gender-specific? I'm man enough to own how trifling some of us guys can be. Can you acknowledge that women can be jerks too?

Comment: Contrary to popular belief, women know Vincent. Some choose to look the other way, but when you are in a relationship with someone, you know when they are acting different, doing things out of the ordinary, etc. Whether she decided to confront him is a different matter, maybe she didn't want to give up the brand new escalade.

Comment: Okay, it appears that while I was writing specifically about Kwame's wife, the name of Christine (Kwame's girlfriend) somehow was thrown in the mix. I am writing specifically about Kwame's wife. Ms. Vanese, I understand your comment that perhaps being the mayor's wife made her overlook his affair. But does it seem to you that this 'overlooking' has become the norm? She's not the only wife to have to deal with a husband's public affair and still stand by his side during all the media circus. Why do you think she did this.. is it out of love or out of necessity?

Comment: I just know that the family is the backbone of society. And the family structure - esp. the black family structure - is under serious attack. It just hurts us as a people to continue to excuse and validate this type of behavior - whether it be cheating by a male or female. Once we make that commitment - and by commitment I mean a marriage - as a people we have to take it seriously. We are evolving into a society of baby's mamas, babies daddies, ex's and "others". It's just so sad cause the main victims are our children.

Comment: Unbelievable. This exposes Kwame Kilpatrick as a hypocrite for using the n-word when he took part in the mock burial of the n-word with the NAACP last July. It exposes him as an unfaithful womanizer who is willing to throw his marriage vows in the garbage and get involved with another woman. And, it exposes him as a horrible mayor who wasted the tax money of the Detroit citizens. This guy won't retire, so he should be fired or impeached. He is not good for the city of Detroit.

Comment: Get your popcorn ready then Chazziebaby. Everyone's favorite Urban Knight is here. Here's my take on this. Now, since there is no justification for cheating, when ones' "unfaithful" spouse gives you an "excuse" for cheating, it is simply a way to personally justify the behavior and to feel more at ease with the decision to cheat. For instance, I look at my wife. Here's what I would call "the" perfect woman. Intelligent, works hard (a little too hard if you ask me, but that's besides the point) giving, humorous (wasn't always like that, but hey I rub off on folks) very selfless, looks out for her loved ones, deeply spiritual and unbelievably committed. There's barely a dent in her armor. Now, she travels alot because of the job and the question has been posed to me do I think she's doing things besides working (hey, you fill in the blanks) to which I always say "No." Anything is possible, but she doesn't have that in her to cheat. Usually, that's enough for some folks sometimes it's not. But hey, I believe this is the case. I say this to say, with all of those things in mind that she does for me, for herself and for others, but mostly for me, if she were to catch me cheating, I couldn't use ANY excuse in the world, but it would boil down to this one common thing that is prevalent in most cases of infidelity. Regardless of the reason for doing it, cheating comes down to Greed. If she cheated on me it wouldn't be because of a lack of anything that I'm not doing. It would be what she has said before about me. She knows that I would not go out and actively look to cheat, but I'm still a man. And like most men, if that man is in a compromising position where opportunity knocks, he's going to seize the moment. This whole mess with Kwame may have started out as flirting and reminiscing. And then it took a drastically crazy turn. And this is the result.

Comment: Cocobuff, sorry I misunderstood Christine to be Kwame's wife. Oh no, that woman was the key player in this scenario. I don't want to sound sexist but it's been my experience that in instances involving high-profile men, the "other woman" is often the initiator. You know money and power are the ultimate afrodisiacs. Let's be honest here... Kwame isn't exactly the cutest thang on the block :)

Comment: This brotha is bringing disgrace to his family (wife and mother) and the city of Detroit. Just resign and get out of the spotlight. Maybe mommy can save your career and get you a job somewhere out of sight out of mind..if you don't go to jail. Beatty is a fool if she ever thought this dude was gonna leave his wife, while in office, to be with an aide on his staff... How ridiculous is that? Now she's lost her husband, job, and probably gonna do jail time all while cheating with a friend of her husband's..wow..

Comment: What Kwame did behind his wife's back is between the two of them. It's her stupidity if she stays with him but his triflin, deceitful, low-down, ghetto azz needs to step down now. I read the transcripts and besides all the back and forth between him and Christine, he did some corrupt shyt and should be held accountable. Is his ego really that big where he would rather be brought down to the lowest level or just bow out now? It's only gonna get worse you stupid S.O.B.!!

Comment: Ms. Vanese, if she was the initiator he should have said no. But from the transcripts, it does appear that she was much more in the relationship mode than he was. Kwame's responses sound like they were copied from the pages of "How to respond to your mistress' steamy test messages' manual.

Comment: It seems like both are equally at fault, as both of these married adults seemed to revel in their affair. As to the larger question of how this reflects on the current state of affairs of Black relationships, the dynamics of the "Me" generation (selfishness, self-centeredness, my way or the highway, non-compromise, greed, etc.) have been in place for awhile, and where we are now (low marriage rate, high percentage of single moms) is the fruit of that mindset. C'est la vie.

Comment: Well my question is what was going on between them from 2003 until 2007, or when they realized they'd been found out? He'd been bulls.hit.ting her about leaving his wife, and that was in 2003. She just recently left the job. So that to me implies that their affair was likely still going on for years after those text messages. They probably just decided to get their own personal blackberry's or something. Kwame is a straight pimp-azz dog. And he will suffer double what Christine Beatty has suffered. I believe that. He used the chick. Yes, she was complicit in this too. But she wanted a relationship with him. He just played her along for the booty. And I FIRMLY believe the only reason Carlita is staying married to this fat S.O.B. is one, because of the lifestyle, two, there are rumors about her being involved in the disappearance of some hooker/stripper who was at their mansion for some party; and three--she ain't divorcing him out of spite. She'll be d.amned if she lets him go and run over to his mistress; because that's exactly what he'll do. And though she hates that n.igga, she'll keep him close make hi

Comment: This situation is so sad and such an embarrassment to the city. Christine had a reputation of being mean and nasty to folks that worked for her. Her errogance gets her no sympathy in this city.
I read the text of most of transcript. She 'Christine' seemed to spend more time texting Kwame. It appears he didn't respond as much as she texted.
But let's go back even further to the alleged party at the mansion. The catalyst was Carlita showed up and beat the crap out of a dancer.
Folks round here said when Carlita fronted the dancer she "dancer" didn't back down and the fight was on where Carlita beat her with a bat.
Did all of this stuff start because the Mayor is trying to protect Carlita? The dancer let folks know she was going to sue the Mayor and wife for the %*$ault. Then the dancer is killed and the investigation starts.
All of the text messages surface during the course of the whistle blowers court case and the wrongful discharge of Gary Brown.
This mess started with an alleged party - gained momentum because a few good investigators tried to do their job-- caught fire because Mayors bodyguards were taking/misusing city resources and power -- escalated because Chirstine and the Mayor arrogantly flaunted their power and relationship in plain sight -- and stupidly communicated by text messages -- has embarrassed the city because they got caught and refuse to go away.
sigh - I still love Detroit but hate the politics

Comment: And every picture I've seen of Christine Beatty, she just looks sad and rough. Just, like, she's unhappy. She was screwing a man who didn't love her, while her husband at home was probably doing his best to make their marriage work. For real, her ex-husband is the ultimate winner in all of this. He's free and clear of all of this shyt. Yes, there will be humiliation when his friends and family read those texts, especially since his kids referred to Kwame as their uncle. Soooo messed up. But he's free of it now. She did him a huge favor by leaving.

Comment: Yeah, this is a popcorn and Twizzler kind of article. I'll put my self out there and say this - I've been in both positions. I've been "the other woman" and I've been the one cheated on AFTER I was the one who helped a guy cheat. Karma/"You reap what you sow" kicked me straight in the azz. To be honest, I can't say I didn't deserve it. When you put negative energy out there, you get it back two-fold and you have nobody to blame but yourself. That said, I know what it's like to be Christine. I was stupid and deluded myself and kept doing something I KNEW would result in nothing and to this day I can't even explain to myself why I kept doing something I knew was futile. And I can't explain to myself why I KNEW I was hurting another woman I'd never met, who'd never done anything to me but kept doing it. I got caught up and til this day don't fully forgive myself for that. I knew it was wrong but kept doing it - there is no excuse for that. When I was the one cheated on and I felt all of the pain and humiliation Kilpatrick's wife is probably feeling, it hit me how badly I hurt another woman and made me feel even worse for doing that to another woman. Christine got played as I did. In my case, he did eventually leave but not because of me. He and I stopped dealing long before his divorce. And I'm glad it ended because even if he had left his wife and I "won" so to speak, I still would've lost because it's true. If he'll do it with you, he'll do it to you. On the other side of it, in my case, as the offended party, it hurt so badly that I couldn't eat and lost 12lbs in a week, but I did forgive him because hadn't I made the same mistake of being in an affair? Could I call him the devil when I'd done something similar? Could I fairly call the other one a whore when I was her in another relationship? I'm not one. She probably isn't either. I understand the other woman in my case and I understand Christine to an extnet. I know she got caught up as I did. It happens - it's not right and there's no excuse/justification but it happens. The key is do you keep doing it or do you learn from such a huge mistake? I learned A LOT from both experiences. What it all taught me was that people make HUGE mistakes and yeah, there are consequences but one mistake doesn't make a person a horrible human being. God does forgive you even if you can't yet forgive yourself. It taught me forgiveness. And it taught me how painful what I did was to the offended party such that I'll never ever even think about doing that again. And as I already said, it taught me that when you put negative energy out there, it comes back on you big time. The price is too high for me to ever do that again to anyone. I just hope Christine learns something from this as I did.

It's all about him and what he can get from those around him. The fact that he refuses to step down after all of this says SO much about the type of person he is.

Comment: Vincent2for2 there is no way in this world or the next Mrs. Kwame didn't know what was going on. She's had plenty of time to make sure she and the kids aren't set out on the curb. It's difficult to sympathize with her because the wife is the first to know regardless of what is in print. She like so many women chose to stay until the last possible minute when he didn't give her that much consideration. Now if she is a sister worth her mettle - she has secured a place and is waiting for the voters (and security) to escort his as.s out - she will follow but will get in the cab she called for her and the kids to take them to the residence in a quiet cul de sac in Detroit that she secured months ago.lmao

Comment: Queeniebunz I've never been in that position but had a few friends who thought nothing of sleeping with married men - one tried to justify it until I pointed out the sister she didn't know but was stepping on the toes of. I just can't tolerate the way we disrespect each other and then will say something stupid like 'if you was doin' him he wouldn't be in my bed' like that makes it okay. It doesn't! Both Kwame and Beatty will get theirs and it's one time I wouldn't want to be the fly on the wall.

Comment: --->mcnasty the crazy thing is is that man will cheat even if his wife is giving him sex regularly and doing everything right....they just try to find an excuse to blame the wife for the affair even though they would do it no matter what.....men that do that are cowards and try to shift the blame on the wife and the women who mess with married me are just jealous because no one has ever married them so they try to mess up another woman's home.

Comment: whynotme--that is not true. Christine Beatty was married. There are many of women who are married, involved with married men. Typically, when a married woman cheats, there is something she is missing emotionally in her marriage. For men, I have read and heard many reasons. Wife not giving them physical intimacy, always arguging; messing with his ego by not making him feel like a man. And then they go and have an affair to pump their egos, among other things. What guy doesn't want a woman falling all over them...especially when his wife at home may not be.

Comment: In the initial legal paperwork, the officers that were fired stated that it was routine for Kwame to mess around with women and all the supervisors of his detail were fully aware and protected him while he did so. He used a local barbershop back room to meet up with a couple of chicks and it seems he always had some booty set up or set up some booty wherever he went. They also mentioned a story about going to DC and how the mayor wanted to go to Club Dream (now Love from what I understand) and even the DC Police that offer protective service when important peopld come to town, told him that they would not recommend he go there and they have been told to steer clear. Kwame forced his detail to take him there anyway. He picked up a chick there and took her back to the hotel. Cheating is obviously in his nature. I seriously doubt this was the first time he did this and it probably won't be his last, although it should. Christine thought she could play the game, but ended up getting caught up as you can tell that she was waaaaayyyyy more interested in him than he was in her. She even left her husband during the time the affair was taking place. Kwame just strung her along. Also, their texts were juvenile as hell, calling one another niggah and niggette. WTF?

Yeah, I kinda figured as much. But after all, she was sleeping with a married man. No need to play Ms Innocent. If she wants to rap on the mike then she should just grab it and say microphone checka 1-2 .

Comment: BlkATLTop--you are hilarious. Remember now, she was trying to work her way into being the new wife. So she couldn't just act like a straight up 'ho; regardless of how she kicked it when they were face-to-face. She was trying to do a balancing act. Nice and nasty. Classy and skanky. Coy yet raw. A 'Ho-Wife if you will. *snort*

Comment: Looking through my cristal ball- the united front that Christine and Kwame are displaying will soon fade. Christine will testify hard against Kwame. When threatend with the prospect of doing serious jail time, Christine will sing like a canary on the wrongful termination suit for two reasons: 1)Prosecutor Kim K will show her evidence that she wasn't the only "other" woman and that Kwame had groupies in almost every state; will be much egg in Christine's face and 2)the thought of being locked up for years away from her kids will be enough for her to turn his hindpots in.

Comment: MsVanese - I think she has no choice but to learn from this. She lost (gave up) her family, she lost her job, she lost the man she gave it all up for when he publicly claimed his wife and not her, she lost the respect/prestige that comes with her job, she lost the respect of people around her now that she is now forever and publicly "the other woman" and she may even lose her freedom if she goes to jail for perjury - lying like a rug on the stand. If she doesn't learn from this she's damaged/an idiot on a whole n'other level that cannot be articulated. What must her children think of her at this point? If she doesn't learn from that alone she is lost completely.

Queenie is right; she gave everything all up for this clown who sho'nuff held his wife's hand and asked her forgiveness on national television. And that look on his wife Carlita's face was like, "That's right bytch; *I* got the man. Not you." Even though he is absolutely nothing worth having, and he will likely go to jail. That'll be Christine's retribution. Man, this is some jacked up stuff.

Comment: This is so sad and so embarrassing. I feel sorry for ALL of them. There's no telling when all of this madness will end. So much healing to take place for everyone involved. Dyck & puzzy will make folk do some crazy things. Sex is powerful and when it's good its hard to turn down. Kwame made that child fall in love and she lost her d.amn mind (not to mention her job and family). And in the end all that is said is "I'm sorry". That shyt don't work.

Comment: Hold up now I went to college in Michigan and know people who graduated HS with Beatty and Kwame. They were an item in HS. At least he has had a long intimate connection to her. My sources illuded to the fact that Mama Kilpatrick did not care for her and that is why she ended up hooking up with Lou and he with Carlita. However on the D town grapevine people feel that they never stopped hooking up. Okay next thing my husband knows people who this cat parties with when he comes to Chicago and he is known to have garden tools in different area codes. Like 312, 773, 630, 847, 815 ya'll know what I am saying. Just adding to the Detroit and DC hookups described. Also women might not know when a dude is cheating but they know that something is WRONG. Been there and it is sad but it is never the same again. The trust is broken - gone. So if you haven't done it don't. Unless you want your wife/husband to know all your passwords and to check all your junk..... I trust completely but if you mess it up you can kiss that azz good bye.

Comment: Deb70, the idea is he offers to leave office if he's guaranteed a deal. That's the leverage. If he just leaves now on his own accord, he loses the leverage and the District Attorney can go full blast on him. If the city wants him out, they'll make sure he gets a deal before leaving office.

Comment: >SBI - a few questions...Why can't he be impeached, or can he? And, if he is, can't they throw the book at him on top of ejecting him from office? And, if he is put out, can't they demand repayment for his legal expenses? And, why the hell are they paying his legal fees for a private matter anyway? If I were the DA, I wouldn't take a deal at all? Why should he/she? The evidence is laid out before us all. He denied the affair and denied having it on company time/dime. The texts prove otherwise. What else is there to prove/disprove? It's a slam-dunk case. Right?...

Comment: StopBeingIgnant, that was the exact same strategy used by our ex-Governor of New York State, Eliot Spitzer, when he was caught on a wiretap a little over a month ago arranging for prostitution services. He did not jump up and IMMEDIATELY resign. He used the resignation of his office as a bargaining chip. Still, it remains to be seen exactly what the DEAL was. The investigation is continuing.

Comment: But Spitzer resigned a couple of days after his scandal became public. It's been what, a couple/few months now since Kilpatrick's issue became public, and his big, corrupt behind is still going to work every day. Plus, he is being indignant about the whole situation, which is the worst part. That's crazy to me. He should get rolled out on his azz.

Comment: Deb70, Spitzer didn't really have a choice. The politicians in Albany demanded that he either resign IMMEDIATELY or his as s would be impeached. Word was that the wife wanted him to stick it out. If true, she was really a silly woman for trying to make her children go through more than was necessary.

Not justifying, but these text messages are from 2002/2003. Remember the 'burial' was recent. Just getting the facts straight.

Comment: queeniebunz, I'm not sure I can answer your questions but I will try. I'm not sure about what the impeachment rules are in Michigan....and unfortunately, I got to get to a meeting. But read others comments and maybe that will help shed light - especially Grace12_34 comments regarding Spitzer. FiveMore, no one will do his time; he'll probably settle for probation. Remember, he/she have not gone to trial yet, just indicted at this time. Still alot of time to work out a deal.

Comment: Several folks have asked why the mayor hasn't be impeached. Well, although in my opinion he is guilty - he does have "due process" on his side.
The Govenor - God Bless her as she had emergency surgery yesterday for a bowel obstruction - is reveiwing the case. At this time, there have only been charges - no convictions.
I'm glad the officers in the whistle blower and wrongful discharge suits got paid.
The Detroit City Council known as our "Clown Troupe" are too busy fighting each other to continue in the process of investigating the mayor.
I am sure the Beaty family is embarrased. Christine started this mess -- Lou and other members are getting unnecessary press.
As I stated about 100 posts back in this string of comments all this mess hit the fan after the party. The arrogance of Kwame denying the party escalated all of this.
I must admit as a politician he has some good ideas about moving our cash strapped city forward. Word on the street is his mom, the Congresswoman didn't think he was ready to be the mayor when he first explored the question of running for mayor.
Now as we endure this media firestorm, everyone knows he wasn't mature enough for the absolute power that public office brings. I could never understand why he has a large security team of folks assigned to him. Outside of Detroit no one knows him. In Detroit no one cares.
