Celebrity Mistresses: The Good, The Bad, and The Trifling

January 23rd, 2012 - By IndigoBlack

Many people can’t help who they fall in love with–even if the person has a ring on their finger, a wife and a set of kids waiting at home for them, which should all be a stop sign for those wondering. However, when some folks fall, they fall HARD. And I’m assuming that’s what happened in these scenarios and relationships, whether temporary or still going strong, when these notable ladies decided to become the other woman (in the hopes of becoming the MAIN woman). Find out who made it past mistress status and who wasn’t so lucky to get more out of it than some heartache. And in our definition, yes, dating a man who isn’t divorced  (even if they’re separated) still kind of makes you the other woman…sorry.

 

Gabrielle Union

Sure, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade are the cutest couple out right now, but a few years ago, Gabi was catching all kinds of heat from Wade’s wife Siohvaughn Funches for being the other woman. She felt this way even though their relationship was pretty much at its end. I’m pretty sure everyone remembers the lawsuit Funches unsuccessfully tried to file against Union, claiming that not only was she the reason the marriage was in shambles, but that Gabrielle and Dwyane engaged in sexual foreplay in front of Funches and Wade’s two sons when they were visiting with their father–allegedly causing emotional distress for the boys. The case was dismissed and Funches was shut down by the judge, even losing custody of her two sons.  It’s no secret that Gabi and Dwyane were together before the ink had dried and the divorce was fully in effect, but much to the chagrin of haters, these two are still going strong and even professing their love for one another on the cover of magazines.

    What about Julia Roberts. She got with her current husband while he was still married. But no major attention was given to the situation event though the ex was pretty pissed about it. But I guess Julia really is America’s sweetheart and got an auto pass. Maybe its the same pass JLo gets when she gets involved with a man already involved with someone else; Ben, Mac Anthony and here current boo Casper we all involved elsewhere until the met jenny from the block.

    Well it seems to be more and more acceptable for these things to happen.  So much is changing.  Just seems that people who act decent are becoming the minority.  Indecency is ruling.  As Prissy is saying, not to be taken, one has to consider acting the same way.  What will become of the world?

    I don’t respect mistresses but they didn’t do it by themselves and I respect even less the married men who cheat.

    sorry but you got this one wrong.. WAY wrong.. check the dates

    No one but the people involved knows exactly what happened in their relationship so everyone who’s posting negative comments about these couples should not be so judgemental.  If these couples are meant to be then no other person could have stopped them from getting together and Karma will not keep them apart.

    “Now she allegedly wants him to step up and take better care of their son and maybe even do right by marrying her. Yeah, good luck with that.” LOL. I had to chuckle at that one.

    MISTRESSES? THEY ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THE MARRIED PERSON WHO WALKED DOWN THE ISLE AND TOLD GOD THEY WOULD TIL DEATH DO THEM PART THEN SEXED DOWN ANOTHER WOMAN. YOU ALL HAVE THE ISH ALL WRONG. NO ONE CAN WRECK YOUR HOME BUT YOU. IF I CHEAT ON MY HUSBAND THEN I WRECKED MY HOME, NOT MY OTHER MAN. REAL TALK!

      @JSUJSU, uhhh no Dwayne isn’t exactly ugly. I mean he isn’t Idris Elba fine but he’s not ugly either, nor is he close to being ugly as heck.  Besides keep that “ugly as heck” comparison in mind the next time you see a woman of another race enjoying a brother and think that its possible he’s with her because a sista like you called him “ugly as heck”  Also like it or not, like her or not Gabrielle Union is a beautiful sista.  You may take objection with her supposed actions but she’s beautiful!  Why must sistas tear each other down all the time??

    The whole Angelina/Brad Pitt/Jennifer Aniston situation happened to me. I played Jennifer… it’s one of the worst feelings I’ve personally experienced it. While I’m well over that situation, I have no respect for women that don’t respect existing relationships.

    • Love_Sexy

      Co-sign!……So sorry this happened to you and can only imagine how that felt.

    • rain

  • guest

    So Gabrielle Union with her homewrecking self is celebrated here, but Angelina is maligned?  Allrighty then!

    • Child_Puhleez

      LOL! SO loving your snark! LOL!!!!

  • PrivateDancer

    Good article–SO GLAD someone finally said it!  I’ve been wondering why nobody seemed to care about this issue–especially when I see things like the Essence cover and the pedestal that Ms. Keys stays on (she is so OVERATED to me anyway)  And Angelina must have the best publicist in the world because before she got with Brad all you ever read about was how scandalous and weird she was–then afterwards suddenly she was Ms. World Peace/Mother Teresa!  WTF?

    As a married woman, I deplore the idea of marital infidelity. I took vows with my husband that I honor and expect the same of him. What is beyond me though, is the venom people have for these women in their comments. Calling them “J-Ho” and “Angelina Ho-lie,” etc. I am by no means excusing, endorsing or advocating the fact that these women allegedly got involved romantically with married men (I say allegedly because Lord knows none of us were there to know the true details; we are going based on what was reported).

    However, most of us have been approached by a spoken-for man at some point in our lives whether he was married, engaged, living with someone or supposedly was in a committed boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

    Some of them are blatant and upfront about it; others are not. I was once approached by a man who made my Spidey-Sense tingle! We met through an acquaintance; he had no wedding ring on and called me all of the time and took me out to a couple of nice dinners. I asked about past relationships, whether or not he was seeing anyone else, etc. He seemed to have answers for everything, but something just didn’t seem right to me. He was too anxious, he wanted to move too quickly for my taste —it seemed like it was urgent for him to reel me in… After several phone calls (cell phones) and two dinner dates, he asked me to go away for the weekend with him (keep in mind we hadn’t even kissed yet). I told him I needed to think about it and he said he needed to know quickly so his assistant could make the arrangements so I asked for his office phone number so I could let her know and he gave it to me. I called his office the next day and asked for him and when his assistant asked “Who’s calling?” I replied, “His wife.” Her voice changed and she said, “Oh, hi Tammy! You didn’t sound like yourself, hold on.” Needless to say, when she put the call through I told the guy that I would not be accepting his invitation, nor would I be accepting any future phone calls from him.

    The point of all of that is to say that cheaters (not just men) sometimes are upfront about their status and other times are not. Who knows what these men were telling the women they cheated with. Maybe they said that the marriage was over but they were trying to keep it out of the press for their kids’ sake? Perhaps they said they had to wait to go public because their mother was sick in the hospital and the news would kill her? Maybe they said that the FBI was about to arrest their wives for drug smuggling; their wives wee lying hermaphrodites who gave them the clap or any other ridiculousness and these chicks believed them?

    Whatever the case, we as fans/the public don’t know what actually transpired. However, as a wife who values her marriage and takes her vows very, very seriously, I definitely blame the married men much more so than the single women because  THEY took vows, THEY were unfaithful, THEY broke up their families. My husband cannot stop you from looking at him, telling him how fine he is or wanting to sleep with him. But he DAMNED SURE CAN AND BETTER STOP YOU FROM TOUCHING HIM, and refuse to pay you any mind whatsoever… I would be annoyed with a woman for going after my obviously married man, but I’d be hurt and angry at my husband if he took any woman up on an offer, because at the end of the day he answers to me regarding his fidelity just as I answer to him; she (the wanna-be mistress) doesn’t.

    My only question is why does the woman always get labled the homewrecker when it is in the man’s power to keep his own home together by saying NO???  Not that the women are right, it just seems in the media the men get a pass. just saying

  • Akamissj

    The good, bad, and the trifling? Sorry, but dating and/or sleeping with a man you KNOW is married is TRIFLING, PERIOD. I don’t care who you are!

    A leopard doesn’t change it’s spots and a cheater (male/female) is a cheater. 

    If you are the side piece and you wind up being the spouse – karma will catch up with you.

    • REALLY

      Well, this article didn’t just speak on the black women.  It talked about Jolie and Rhiem and J-lo as well.  Nevertheless, we as the African American culture, attacked Fantasia.  We are the ones that are so excepting of Union and Keys behavior.  We’re the ones that demanded things of Fantasia, not the white media.  We did that…..  Why do we as a people allow the media (white) media to dictate to us what is exceptable and what is not?

        If you read my response it does not specify ethnicity or speaks to belittle or demean a particular individual. Just realize that is done in the dark will always come to light – no matter who you are. Peace and blessings.
