So today I have a full day off, which is rare…..and I decided to surf the web…..to my HORROR I came across this little piece of information:

Keily Williams, who was formerly one of The Cheetah Girls and a member of girl group 3LW,  told EUR Web that when her MOTHER, was in a relationship with Joe (yes…hot,smooth voiced singer, Joe) she was a victim of DOMESTIC ABUSE! (Just want to stress the relationship was with her MOTHER…before some idiot starts calling Joe a perv!)

I nearly fell off my damn chair…Joe…..Domestic Abuse…..Get outta here!! Here’s what she had to say:

“I have had my own personal experience with domestic abuse with my mother having been in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship with the R&B singer Joe for several years.

I saw the toll it took on her and how difficult her recovery was. I wish Rihanna the best and hope that she gets through what I know is a terrible ordeal.”

OK, firstly I’m not entirely sure if I believe this…..especially because I’m not sure who she means by her ‘mother.’ Keily’s biological mother passed away when she was a child and has no connection to the music industry….thus I am assuming that she is referring to her legal guardian, Michelle Williams….who was a music artist manager, but there is not much info linking her to Joe…..

Secondly, she’s inferring that she is speaking out due to the Chrihanna incident but…… her career seems to be dwindling since 3LW broke up …….so I’m beginning to question her actual ’motivation’ for speaking out??

Finally, I think that Joe is a fab singer and even though there have been RUMORS about him being involved in domestic violence before….nothing has ever come of it….No charges, No court proceedings etc…..so before we start castrating him I think we should think about what Al Sharpton and Congresswoman, Shelia Lee Jackson,said at MJ’s memorial yesterday……people are INNOCENT until proven guilty!

Look what speculation and rumors did to THE GREATEST PERFORMER of ALL time….. they dug him an early grave and forced a genius to live a life as a condemned man!(and it breaks my heart everytime I think about it…) Anywho back to the issue at hand……

In my mind I’m not sure why she decided to randomly ’speak out’ seen as the whole Chrihanna thing is old news…..If it is true my heart goes out to her…..but I hope she doesn’t try and blow this up and attempt to ruin another Black man……we just don’t need it….and seen as he’s not in the news or the courtroom for it….he may have changed…..so maybe we should leave the past in the past on this one?

What do you guys think? I’m not excusing domestic violence, I’m actually strongly against it, but I’m not sure if this was totally called for?….I think I just question her motives…….Amours?? TRUE or FALSE? Relevant or should such things be left in the past?
