Death of the Sitter
This is the sitter. This is the deadbeat Dad who thinks babysitting his child qualifies him as a Father. He pays no child support, only buys a handful of clothing at the Good Will or Salvation Army from time to time and thinks he's Father of the Year. Throughout my blog I have kept the identity of the sitter - Andre Tyrone Williams- a secret but no more. He has been free of shame for too long already. Our son is nearly 4 and he still has not stepped up to the plate of being a Father. There was a time shortly after my child was born that I fell on hard times and had no gas in our home during the winter. The Sitter at the time was making thousands of dollars per week and told me the gas in my house was my problem. When my mother paid to get the gas on and confronted him about it his response to her was "It's not my fault if your daughter can't handle her finances". His child was living in this gas free home and he was paying no child support and had no concern. He is a selfish boy who epitomizes the dead beat dad syndrome that plagues the black community. It gets better. The women he dates are just as trifling as he is. They are so desperate to have a man they all condone his deadbeat behavior to appease him. They have all admittedly told him he is not responsible for his son's well being when he is in my care because he babysits. He is currently dating his other child's mother LaKeisha Coleman, while living with his girlfriend Kaneatra and still seeing his ex Leah who travels to GA from KY to see him. He also has a few randoms like Commolita that he sees when time permits. He has no job and is a wanted felon. Now you may be asking yourself as a Mega Mogul Momma how did you end up with this loser? Good Question. The man he has become is not the man he was when I met him. He has always been a womanizer but the looser criminal in him occurred after he had a series of bad luck. When I met him he was a trainer at a gym, college student and operating his own playball business. He was well kept and took care of me financially and emotionally. Then he stole some computers from his job, which I warned him not to do, and went to jail. From there it was hard to get a job and he took over his deceased fathers boot leg liqueur business. His Dad's basement was built out to be an actual bar and that's when he changed. The womanizing got disrespectful but unfortunately it was around that time that I discovered I was pregnant. LaKeisha became pregnant four months after I did and his crime sprees got more and more consistent. Drug dealing, theft and cons to name a few. It all came to a head when he went on a high speed chase from the police with my then 2 year old in the car, not in a car seat, and flipped the truck over and fleeing on foot with my son in tow. That's when I realized the Andre I knew was dead. The final straw was him offering to let me borrow a car knowing it was un-insured and that it had non-functioning windshield wipers, then later admitting it was unsafe driving the car in the rain yet refusing to repair it. Ended up having it repaired myself. Now my hustle is so much harder because I know the only way for Drake to maintain his charmed life is that I keep giving it to him. Help from his Father is not on the way.
Now, Re-Birth Of The Mogul
I was working in development on a huge celebrity reality show when I met him and then for Tyler Perry. Due to my turbulent relationship with Andre and the birth of my son my movie career was put on hold causing me to down spiral financially. About a year ago I decided to get it back. I took a job as the production secretary on the Tyler Perry film I Can Do Bad All By Myself but prior to that I began working with a young, upcoming director/writer/producer Henderson "Mr. 23" Maddox. I produced a film for him entitled "5 Days In the A". Now I'm working full time in development for Henderson's company Atlanta Dream Team Productions and have two projects with my company Lot 404 Productions (Alvin Aggarat is my partner) "Statistically Speaking" and "Around The House" slated for release next year. I also have a web series "Secret Passion" that I'm directing to be released early 2010. Not to mention my latest creation the first annual Southern Hollywood yearbook highlighting all the indie players in the ATL. The mogul is back, blessed and highly favored.
Sounds of Poetry Premiere is on it's way. This Tuesday people will finally get to see the amazing acting jobs done by Robin Givens and Jerome Cheatham. This photo taking from the film can't begin to showcase the depth of her performance. I'm so proud of Henderson Maddox he is growing as a writer/director and building toward greatness. I worked with him in the past and enjoyed it and look forward to working with him in the future. I haven't seen the entire film yet but the scenes I have been privileged to preview have been mind blowing. I am getting ready for Tuesday because I can't wait. Henderson you do have my VIP seat ready right?
