Hip-hop Mayor’s Sex-text Nightmare About To Get Worse
July 11th, 2008The question is whether Kwame Kilpatrick was a frequent philanderer.
As the defense team for Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick prepares to beat back charges that he lied about his relationship with his longtime chief of staff, prosecutors are planning to roll out a whole new string of sexy text messages showing that cheating on his wife was a way of life. The so-called “Hip-hop Mayor” is currently facing a single perjury charge – that he lied under oath regarding his alleged affair with Christine Beatty. The case against Kilpatrick centers largely around the numerous sexually explicit text messages he sent to Beatty, who served as his chief of staff from 2002 until January 2008 when she resigned amid the scandal. But the bulldog-tough D.A. in the case, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, is picking through a mound of other Kilpatrick text messages – five year’s worth – hoping to find other evidence that Beatty wasn’t the only woman the married mayor was seeing on the side. “I’ll put the defense on notice, we’re about to file an amended warrant and complaint to amend the counts that relate to conspiracy as it relates to testimony about having a sexual relationship with the codefendant,” Assistant Prosecutor Robert Moran told The Detroit Free Press. “We’re going to amend to add the language ‘and others.’ We’ve uncovered other evidence.” The newspaper recently reported that a review of Kilpatrick’s trial testimony uncovered proof of additional affairs. “In addition to denying an affair with Beatty, the mayor denied having sex with an unidentified Jamaican woman at a barbershop,” it states. “One of the mayor’s former bodyguards had also accused him of meeting a woman at the Lofts apartments in Detroit for a late-night liaison. Kilpatrick was not asked directly about that allegation at trial.” As one might expect, lawyers for Kilpatrick and Beatty are perturbed. James Thomas, who represents Kilpatrick, expressed disappointment with the prosecutors’ plan of attack but would not elaborate on the revised case, according to the Free Press. Mayer Morganroth, Beatty’s attorney, call Moran’s comments “outrageous.” District Judge Ronald Giles has yet to rule on whether the content of the 14,000 text messages will become part of the public court file. “But they don’t even care,” Morganroth said of prosecutors. “They just want to get stuff out there any way they can to taint the jury. It’s outrageous but they do it anyway, whether it’s true or not, whether the information is privileged or whether it’s sealed or not.”
WOW….I just read this on a hot forum on tall dating site ____Tallmingle.com____ which is a hot dating site for all tall friends and tall singles.
I am so sick of this case. I can not wai till it is all over. I can care less about who this man slept with. Let’s get down to what really matters and that is how he runs the city and move on!
this is so dumb and kind of strange
To me if you must say this all not called for but what the mayor did was a long time ago and maybe he felt the need to cheat on his wife because she was doing something. Wrong at home but truly all this needs to stop because it again is so not called for eventhought it was wrong let the past be the past.
Dana………..What are you talking about?
It goes beyond him cheating on his wife…that in and of itself is not illegal (immoral, maybe). HE LIED UNDER OATH!! And he used his power to get people fired, and hired. He isn’t worthy of a public position.
I wish they would just leave Kwame the hell alone! Honestly folks how many other politicians have done this much and worse and it doesn’t get run into the ground like this has. If Kwame was a manager at McDonad’s and did the same thing (cheat) no one would care. If he owned a nightclub everyone would expect him to; if he was a sherriff no one would care. It’s not even thay people “care” now it’s that people love drama and love to see others persecuted.
Shanna (East side of Detroit) He’s a player who got caught up. Games over ! Eventually, over time, this will be all over. LOL!
Whats up!
I DON’T UNDERSTAND Y WHO HE SLEEPS WITH IS ANYBODIES BUSINESS AND WHY IT MATTERS SO MUCH!!!! THATS HIS PERSONAL LIFE THEY ACT LIKE PEOPLE IN CHARGE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE SAINTS BUT IN REALITY AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY R REGULAR PEOPLE JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
UUMMMMM Arighty than………..now would he be a politician if he was grimy? Come on people politicians lie to US everyday. if the man is running the city in the right direction MOVE AROUND! i dont even live in detroit but i’m sick of this.
everyone just needs to get out of this mans personal life and get llife of your own. Longly, noisy women
The issue is not who he sleeps with, it’s the fact that he used city funds in order to have these affairs. He does not have the right to use his position to threaten, intimidate, and fire people in order to cover up his shadiness.
Kwame is a young pimp with power, dum dum pimp, but a pimp all the less, he forgot 2 kiss the right ass, TV, NEWS, and The white man. Step up be a strong black man move on an make peace with his wife an God.Everyone makes mistakes
I would like to say thank you to all those who have currently posted, about Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and have not talked down on him, like so many that live in the state of Michigan, especially those in the Suburbs. Detroit has a wonderful Mayor who has done a lot for the city. Yes he has done some things wrong but how many politicians have not. They have been attacking this man since he stepped into office, and it is ridiculous. Mayor Kilpatrick is a Mayor who is not afraid to speak his mind and don’t care if you like it or not, that is why he is called so many names especially Thug, Monkey, King Kong, Pimp name it they have called him, and some people think it is so funny and cute. I could say more, but I am going to end right now, I just wanted to say thank-you to all those who have said leave him alone, and not talked down on him.
Loving Detroit, no matter what the circumstances.
oh my goodness!!!! Either your going to get rid of the man or not. Stop wasting all the beautiful trees on this earth to continue writing this BS! It’s getting old and tired.
What is the point? This is bizarre at best! The prosecutor who is a sista, might I add, seems more like a woman scorned than a prosecutor …I don’t know who did her wrong, but this is not a good look for her! She needs to calm down!

If he only lied under oath about cheating on his wife, I wouldn’t even care much about that, because they shouldn’t have been asking him about that. (Just like with Bill and Monica.) What’s sad is that the s-e-x is all the media coverage focuses on. There are no details in this story (or most others) about the REAL issues: possible misuse of city funds, the personnel issues you mention, and whatever else is the real problem with his governance.
“IT’S SIMPLE,…….. YOUR AN IDIOT! AND I FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR FAMILY NOT YOU! MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEM!”
What alot of you are forgetting is this: whenever a black person–especially a black MAN is in a power position, people will do ANYTHING to bring him down. No, I’m not from Detroit but I’m a black woman-and we should all know that we have to work EXTRA hard to keep our noses clean if we want to accomplish anything in life. Ok, so he may have done some good things for the city: noone disputes that. But he WAS busy texting inappropriate msgs to a woman OTHER than his wife, often when he SHOULD have been working, on the taxpayers’ dime. Anything he has done that even APPEARS to be wrong is going to be blown out of proportion, and yes I find him at fault because he should have KNOWN BETTER. If you don’t have morals or hold yourself accountable for the trouble YOU get yourself into, then it’s your OWN fault when your drama comes back to bite you. The last mayor in Philly (my hometown) was also a black man. The DA and the Feds did their best to catch him doing something–ANYthing wrong. Bugged his office, interrogated his staff…they did charge a few of his staff members with crimes but ultimately the mayor was never charged with anything. You know why? If you don’t do anything wrong they CAN’T find sh– that doesn’t exist. So hey-when WE remember that WE are held to a higher standard, WE’ll be better off. Just ask big-mouthed Jesse Jackson…
