It’s not likely that the release of the saucy emails between former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and onetime chief of staff Christine Beatty will do much to help the disgraced city leader rekindle his relationship with his longtime wife in their new Texas digs. Kilpatrick, fresh out of jail and now living in a Dallas suburb with his family, had hoped to keep the steamy sex-texts from the public airwaves. Fat chance. Late last week, the back-and-forth freak show, first obtained by The Detroit Free Press, helped cast the so-called “Hip-Hop Mayor” as “Kinky Kilpatrick.” Read some of the steamy texts.

 Christine Beatty, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s former top aide who was busted exchanging steamy text-messages with him, got a dose of the same medicine he got in late October.  Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Kenny slapped the 38-year-old ex-chief of staff with a 120-day jail stint for obstruction of justice. She was convicted of lying under oath about the extent of her relationship with the Motor City’s so-called “Hip-hop Mayor.” Read more here.

 Christine Beatty, former chief of staff to ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, begins her county jail sentence next week. Kilpatrick is serving 120 days after admitting that he lied under oath about an extra-marital affair with Beatty when the city was sued by two former cops whose investigation could’ve exposed the romance. Beatty pleaded guilty to similar charges last month after many had speculated that she’d agree to testify against Kilpatrick and avoid jail time. Beatty resigned as chief of staff when the Detroit Free Press published dozens of sexually explicit text messages exchanged between her and Kilpatrick.

Detroit mayor’s former lover pleads guilty. Silent through months of a sex scandal, the woman whose relationship brought down former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick broke her silence Monday, according to the Sun News Service. She shed tears as she pleaded guilty, the news service reports. Christine Beatty, a former aide to Kilpatrick, accepted a four-month jail sentence on obstruction of justice charges for her part in a lawsuit brought by two police officers, according to the news service. Beatty’s jail sentence will begin Jan. 5. With credit for good behavior, she could be free in about 100 days.
