"When 'Nigga' Met 'Niggette': A Detroit 'Love' Story"---More Kwame Kilpatrick and Christine Beatty Texts Released

File this under too much time on my hands. I just got through reading an 18 page legal brief that contains MORE text messages between Christin Beatty and Kwame Kilpatrick that Detroit Free Press held back(ie, the most embarrassing ones). I suffered a bout of insomnia so I transcribed a couple of pages for y'all. You can read the entire thing here courtesy of the Detroit Free Press.


Excerpts from "When 'Nigga' met 'Niggette'"
---
My thoughts are in red


Page 9 -- Why Don't You Smile at Me like that?

Christine Beatty to Kwame Kilpatrick: "Are you on a date with your wife? Oooo I'm jealous. I'm a little too into you these past few days.

Lou Beatty to Christine Beatty:"How is your day? It's amazing how you can go out of town, come back refreshed and I immediately piss you off...You had an attitude until KK came over. Then you were smiling. Wish you smiled at me like that." [Poor Lou- He knew]

Page 10 -- One Day I'm Going to be Their Stepdad
Then Christine wants Kwame to see her baby before she takes the child to the dentist and Kwame later says "I may be their stepdad one day." -- They brought the kids into the foolishness.

CB:"My baby wanted to see you. I was just trying to make it happen before we went to the dentist"
KK:"Come on Momma"
CB: "Thanks for that"
KK: I enjoy that. I might be their stepdad one day
CB:Why might? What happened to "not yet"?
KK: The "might is on you"
CB: LOL Nigga, I already claimed it! KCK 2010. You told me that you would be my boyfriend everyday until I was your wife. Are you renigging?
KK:Hell no! Don't start none. Won't be none niggette! LOL
He later signs off with "My nigga! I love you, you know that."

Page 11- Christine becomes clingy.

This is actually kinda sad to read... but I will force myself to trudge on Page 12, more of Christine getting played

CB: Thinking about how hard you diss me, I still want to be in your arms, kiss you, hug you, love you. Listening to you speak and wishing you were my husband. No response needed to this[girl like he ever responds to your long winded text messages], but when [you] held me in your arms and looked me in the eyes and said I was your woman. All was right with the world. I love you.
KK: Damn! Thank you [Oh come on! she said all that and all he said was thanks!-]
CB: Can you promise me that I will always be that? [ Um "no" he can't seeing as how he already promised that to his wife, Carlita]
KK: You were my girl for as long as I can remember. I was too young and stupid to know [still stupid] I promise for the rest of my life you will be my girl. [as he goes home to his wife.]

Page 13
The following takes place during/after Christine divorces her husband. Note Kwame's respone at the end of her soliloquy

CB: Ahh. I'm about to cry. Thank you for that. You need to know that you are the man in my life that I depend on most [warning Christine, you are beginning to sound like a wife and not a mistress] Or should I have jut stopped at ' the man in my life'? I have an insecure thing going on with you right not and I know where it came from. Kind of started when you got back from your trip and I couldn't see you. TBc(to be continued)... Then we the separation thing with Lou and it really kicked in, and we had our conversation at Tom's it kind of escalated. When i told you started singing 'A Stranger's love," and I told you that you seemed that kind of man who be married to your wife forever, you kinda nodded like "yep". TBC.. I was really kind of trippin after that because of two reasons. I can't see living this way with us being 'secret' forever. [sound of Christine sealing her fate as the nonfuture Mrs. Kilpatrick] I love you so much and i want to tell somebody, someday![you just did]. (Smile). Secondly, this separation is really real and it kind of slapped 'lonely' in my mind... when you didn't some on Saturday until 3 hours later, that kind of just topped it off for me. So I'm sorry if I've been trippin. I could only two way this! I couldn't have said it to you personally! [and boy did you say it]

But wait y'all. Wait. Read Kwame's response to her five paragraph message..

KK: In this important and somewhat confusing time in your life, please know with all our hearts and soul that I love you and you will never, never be alon. TBC[to be continued]

Did that sound like a greeting card to y'all?

Page 14 - Reason and Necessity
The texts are not in chronological order in the document compare them about six months earlier cutting up.

KK to CB: Everything is cool. Did you get busted? You were kind of ___[I just couldn't force myself to type it. Fill in the blank] last night. inside and out. LOL
CB to KK: Oh, you got jokes? Actually I did get busted, which I was checking with you. I wanted to see if you had room on Leslie for me! LOL [she is talking about moving in with him in case she gets kicked out.]
KK: LOL LOL LOL! Not on Leslie but anywhere els eyou want to stay. LOL
CB: LOL, LOL! Dang, you wouldn't take me into your home? You told me the other day that you would do anything for me. What happened? [you actually might need something is what happened]
KK: LOL LOL LOL! Not the famous flip again. It's still anything! I should be with reason, necessity. If you really need to stay with me, it's on. In this case, we could find somewhere else.

Page 15- Why lord Why? -- The infamous DC Trip
CB to KK: I really wanted to give you some good ___ [again, unlike Christine I couldn't make myself type it- fill in the blank]this morning and I didn't know how to ask you to let me do it I have wanted to since Friday night when you asked me at the club.

Page 18- Till Death Do Us Part
CB to KK: I am madly in love with you too! More and more everyday! I can't believe how much more it grows. Is there a limit?
KK: not til death do us part.
CB to KK: Wow! I'll buy that. [boy did she ever]

I actually feel kinda sorry for them now. She almost had me cracking open my check book to contribute money to the Christine L. Beatty Legal Defense Trust. But instead I'll save my money to buy her a copy of "They Never Leave the Wife: The Memoir of a Mistress " or "Some Things Are Best Left Unsaid: Love in the Age of Texting."

I see two people living in a dream world. A fairytale. This was definitely fantasy land for Kwame and he never had any intention of leaving Carlita for Christine. In the back of her mind, she had to know that, but she still had hope in here eyes. Don't act like y'all didn't scrawl y'alls initials on a notebook combining you name with some boy you had a crush on... Most of us haven't done that as fully grown women, but you see my point. I would actually believe them if they said it was over in 2003 because she started to be more clingy and more of an emotional burden.. less fun.

Wake me when the criminal trial is over. The prosecutors will take care of any lying on the witness stand that took place. The voters, should he run, will issue their decision on whether they want this man to continue as their mayor. Beatty is already divorced. I hit my limit after this last batch. I have officially had enough. There will be no more LOL-ing or TBC about this here. ...SMH and LFOL -TTYL - if you don't know what I just said, you are a bad parent. GTG

I had to stop at page 18. I can't take it anymore. Maybe later.

How embarassing this whole mess must be for Carlita, Lou and their respective children.

April 30, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterravengal

You can take someone out of the ghetto but the stereotyped ghetto behavior will remain, if allowed to. May Ms. Kilpatrick eventually have more money than she could ever spend on her children, herself and on whatever she finds to help ease her years of pain and suffering.

April 30, 2008 | Unregistered Commentercinco

This is just one BIG mess and I am embarrassed for ALL parties caught up in this "atrocity"! Especially Christine, I imagine she is looking from the outside in and realizing how foolish she was (I hope!)... I also wonder if her and Kwame still interact w/ each other.

April 30, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterWes

Gina, thanks for doing all this hard work, I now have something to read on the train today. But I can't believe you did all this work.

April 30, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterbrotherkomrade

I feel bad for their ex/spouses. This is embarrassing. And at some point Christine should have gotten a clue. He was not trying to leave his wife for her. I bet Lou is looking pretty good right about now - or maybe she's still in love with KK. Messy!! Now I have to go find that youtube clip of his Momma. LOL

Every time I see this guy I think about 'Textual Healing' and I just die laughing. I feel sorry for this woman, but I swear these two sound more juvenile than any teenager I've ever dealt with!

April 30, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterroslynholcomb

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.. Amazing madness folks get themselves into. Thanks for taking the time to share it all Gina.

Politics here in Detroit are getting more and more out of order. Take a look at this link of our City Council President Pro Tem Monica Conyers' outburst, and her interaction with some 8th grade students while trying to explain it.

Wow.

I think my favorite "chitlin' eatin' negro" moment related to this garbage was the council woman who wore a tiara for the Kwame Brown "shut the hell up about the budget" session.

I cried because I laughed so hard! Day-twat is a WRETCHED GHETTO MESS. Nothing will convince me otherwise.

Wow, lada... mad props to the little girl in that video. I'm tempted to blog about it.

Somebody just won the WAOD Wagging Finger of Shame Award!!! I wonder who it could be???

April 30, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterg-e-m2001

lol. It is funny, but I feel kind of sad for Christine and Mrs. Fitzpatrick.

LaDa replied: Thanks. I was proud of her too! Actually when I saw it, I immediately thought of BlackWomenVote and WAOD. It's a shame when the children have to put you in your place. But you know, I think Mrs. Conyers really thinks she did the right thing.

April 30, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterLaDa

I really feel bad for the children in all of this. Mayor Kilpatrick has 3 sons, and Ms. Beatty has 2 (or 3) daughters. When I think about what these kids are going through, what they have all lost, and how confusing it must be for them, the selfishness of their parents makes me that much more angry and disappointed.

I would hate to think that they might grow up thinking this type of behavior is 'normal'.

April 30, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterLaDa

And, the rumor going around Detroit is that what has been released is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the lewdness and the insulting comments about local officials and business leaders. I'm still tripping that they thought this was all OK to transmit on city owned equipment! And, that those transmissions on city owned equipment were personal property!

April 30, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterLaDa

hi all-

i couldn't read anymore. i felt bad for the women. all of them. i include the dead dancer as well.

i would feel sorry for mr. man, however, he has public support despite it all.

since i have been ridiculously stupid in my journey, in retrospect, i am incapable of not feeling for Beatty. when one reads the details of most public cases there is always an element of stupidity and poor judgement, even those we go to bat and fight for. furthermore, it doesn't escape me that the church likes to support wayward men while there is nary a peep of support for wayward women; all of this while teaching none of us are without sin.

Beatty was naive enough to divorce her husband. she lost her job well before her boss did. she gets the additional humiliation of this being public. remember mr. man has just become "the man" for a lot of people. if it were not so, many of us would not blog--at least about the topics we do. and women with strong self worth and self respect do not engage in relationships with other people's husbands.

looking at the bigger picture, this public fall damages us all. the black collective has never been judged by our shining black queens and kings. i hope they get right soon. we, are definitely only as strong as our weakest link. i pray Beatty comes through this wiser and ready to move forward powerfully...all women are someone's daughter. even those that are exercising poor judgment.

thanks for allowing me to share.

blessings,

I am not going to lie.
When I was reading/ typing this, I felt a great deal of sympathy for Christine Beatty. I know she violated her marriage vows, was arrogant, and slept with another woman's husband, but I still felt bad watching this one-sided relationship.

I think there are a lot of us with a whole lot of book learnin' who would raise our hands if asked the question "have you ever done anything stupid" in the name of "love"- or whatever.

So I would have to give this last round of texts to Christine. I think it humanized her in a way.

I am sure my sympathy will go out the window with the release of the next round... and there will be a next round.

May 1, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterg-e-m2001

I respect you for doing this. I've taken the stance that I can't blog about Kilpatrick...I find him trifling. But, thank you for doing it. Proves my point, but I think it's worth having out there, for all to see.

May 2, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterrikyrah

Hi there! {waves}

This entire exchange is very, very sad because it seems that Christine was TRULY in love with Kindergarten Kwame and willing to do ANYTHING at all to be with him....

I am sure she is completely humiliated that all of these text messages are floating everywhere....

I am sure she will pick up the pieces - it's been reported that she plans to move away from Detroit when this is all over with. Well...after her prison sentence is over...

{sigh} My sisters just fall head over heels in love and lose ALL.....

Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!
Lisa
