Tiki Barber's Mistress Writes Open Letter To Media Discussing Their Relationship
Thursday August 26th
2:00 pm EST
This chick (Traci Lynn Johnson) is living in an alternate universe! She writes this letter to the media as if she was the one who got the raw deal! She doesn't understand why she's considered a homewrecker or a money chaser.She wrote this letter to the website Crushable.com. Check it out below.


Written By Traci Lynn Johnson
to Crushable.com
I am no Emily Post when it comes to relationships. I certainly don’t have all the answers when it comes to love and I’ve made countless mistakes when it comes to the men that have dotted the pages of my life. While I don’t meet the qualifications for writing a book on the proper dating etiquette, I could pen a column or two about maintain the hope that your one true love is waiting right around the corner, all the while stumbling through relationships along the way.

This stumbling, well let’s be honest, in my case, falling flat on my face, was a recurrent theme in my relationship history. Scars and bruises of my past ill-fated trips down lover’s lane are ever present in my mind, so when I began dating my current boyfriend in the beginning of January 2010 I was optimistic, yet cautious. He was recently separated from his wife, resetting his love life, and unsure of what the future would hold for him. All qualities that produced an array of warning signals in my mind. However, the romantic optimist in me prevailed through the doubt and I thought about the possibilities that could lead to the potential of this situation actually working out to my benefit. He was one of my dearest friends for the past three years and has been the one to pick me up off my face when I fumbled my way through one bad relationship to another. In my opinion those were two fantastic reasons for beginning a new dating adventure with someone, and if those two weren’t enough to convince me to date this man, then the simple fact that I was just freshly wounded by a relationship with what I would like to consider a nutcase (and wasn’t quite yet ready for another serious, long-term commitment with someone) closed the deal for me.

Three months later all the bright red caution lights that were flashing in my mind when I first began dating Tiki had disappeared and I was, for the first time in my life, completely comfortable in my relationship. I was able to throw on a pair of sweatpants and not worry about putting make-up on when he came over, our hands seemed to fit together perfectly while walking down the street, conversation over dinner at our favorite French restaurant, La Ripaille, flowed naturally – all in all, life appeared seemingly perfect.

Then within 24 hours, that seemingly perfect world that I had quickly grown accustomed too, vanished. My face was suddenly on the front page of one of the most read newspapers in the nation, I was trending on Google, my family was being harassed by reporters, my sister called to tell me that she saw Tiki and me on television, and I was forced to leave my cozy two-bedroom apartment, with my eight-month old puppy in tow, to spend the next two weeks in seclusion from the world.

While I can’t speak for Tiki, at first I found the story about his and my relationship to be humorous. The scandalous headlines, such as “Sneaky Tiki” and factually incorrect details – like Tiki leaving his wife while she was eight months pregnant with twins – that graced the cover of “reputable” newspapers amused me. Amusing because I, quite frankly, knew the truth. I knew that Tiki didn’t leave Ginny when she was eight months pregnant for me. I knew that his relationship had deteriorated before my relationship with him was even a thought in his mind. I knew that I was never Tiki’s babysitter or that he “lavished” me with expensive gifts or snuck into my college dorm room (I lived on an all girl’s floor with a key swipe entrance … think how difficult it would be to sneak a 5′10, 200-pound, black man into that environment?). Plain and simple, the truth was and still is that Tiki and I never crossed the line of being inappropriate while he was married and nor was our relationship inappropriate now that he wasn’t.

The initial amusement that I had towards the story rapidly vanished when the truth didn’t come out. During this time Tiki and I were forced to hide away from everyone for fear of the press. We couldn’t go out to eat without it becoming tabloid news. I was quickly becoming exceedingly frustrated with the story and the way it was spiraling out of control. The truth wasn’t coming out, and in fact, more outlandish and ludicrous lies were being told and printed.

I remember one day, crying to Tiki, probably after reading a blog about us (which I promised Tiki I wouldn’t do), begging him to call the papers, to scream it from the top of 30 Rock, to simply tell the world the truth because I thought it was destroying me, him, and the potential future for our relationship together. Upon my request to vindicate not only myself, but him as well, Tiki, sat me down, placed his arm around me, and said, “Nothing that I can say will change their perception. Only time will.”

And while the stubborn, opinionated side of me hates to admit it, he was right.

Four months later we are still together and love each other more than before. We have our moments of discontent as any normal couple does, but for the most part we find happiness in each other and the simple pleasures of life. On an average night we find ourselves watching whatever we have rented from Netflix or enjoying an episode of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman (yes, with or without Tiki’s permission, I will admit that we own the entire collection). Instead of loud and pretentious clubs, you can find us at a cozy wine bar with friends or playing in a co-ed softball league. If any restaurant requires a three-course meal or more we refuse to go and end up eating at a local pub right around the corner from our apartment. We stay up too late for any sane couple reading books in bed and we enjoy knowing that even if we are boring, we would both rather be bored with each other than doing something with someone else.

While it has been four months since the story of our relationship came out, people still are judging and opining on it. But these people have been influenced by the ignominious and outrageous stories that have been told about us. Everyone has the right to believe what they desire and Tiki and I both realize this. We simply just take solace and great joy in knowing that the people who know the true “Tiki and Traci” have loved and supported us every step of the way and we take even greater joy in making new friends who have learned to love the “real us.”

And in the end that is all that matters. A few good friends and one true love.

Kanye Avoids Having To Show Up In Court
Wednesday August 18th
10:00 am EST

Apparently Suge is suing Kanye, blaming him for getting shot at a party on South Beach in 2005. Kanye was the HOST, which means he WASN'T THE PROMOTER which means he's not to blame, anyway #GOODLUCKWITTHATSUGE. Kanye will take care of this matter over the phone instead of having to show up in court. Scroll Down To Check Out More Info On This Situation.

MIAMI – Hip-hop star Kanye West won't have to attend in person a mediation session aimed at resolving a lawsuit filed against him by rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight.

A Miami federal judge recently agreed to permit West to take part in the Aug. 26 session by phone. West's lawyers say he can't be there personally because of a long-standing business commitment outside the continental U.S.

Knight is seeking more than $1 million in damages from West and his companies. Knight was shot in the leg at a 2005 Miami Beach party hosted by West, whom he blames for lax security.

West, Knight and their lawyers met in New York for six hours in June but failed to settle the case.

The shooter has never been identified and the case is unsolved.

Oakland You Can Do Better Than This!!!
Tuesday August 10th
12:30 am EST

This is truly despicable, but we couldn't help ourselves. This occured the day of the verdict for the police officers accused of shooting a suspect in Oakland. The camera man makes note of the verdict, but there is so much going on here, so much going wrong here I should say.
1. Pregnant girls (allegedly all tricking) fighting in the Burger king parking lot. 2 pregnant girls jump another pregnant girl.

2.A dude jumps one of the pregnant girls who jumped his pregnant trick and punches the shit out of her, several times.

3. An old woman then almost beats the girl up inside the Burger King lobby.

4. A motorist runs into a policeman on his motorcycle.

Take a look at this and if you're from Oakland please defend your city.

We Know Where LeBron Is Going, We Think!
Wednesday July 7th
1:15 pm EST

OK we have a big dilemna. I named this so called BLOG "Word on the Street" for a reason.

We here at Ebonylifestyles.com have been blessed to have assocations with some pretty cool people and are fortunate to get insider information. The problem is we see so many websites crashing peoples lives to get a scoop for website traffic and this is something we've stayed away from because even though there are a lot of nosey people in this country looking to pick themselves up off someone else's misery, we don't want to be the crutch for these people to get their fix every morning.

But then the last 18 hours have put us in a pickle. First this JaMarcus Russell arrest. One of my longtime good friends turned me on to Russell's "fondness for syrup" in December, and I shared it with a couple of people at the time. We just felt like this wasn't worth the trouble it might cause to put it out there, because the Raiders knew about his "fondness for the syrup" and took it into consideration when he was let go earlier this off season. I mean we're not trying to Adam Schefta's job over at ESPN, but what do you with information like this when it's told to you?.

OK Now the big one comes down. ESPN has everybody and they momma scooping this NBA Free Agency thing. My hat goes off to Chris Broussard, he's probably added some pretty nice honies to his stable with all the face time he's getting on television. He's been on top of a lot of scoops, but we got him beat on this one, it's just that I don't want to believe it, maybe it sounds too good to be true!.

A couple of hours ago I got the call I knew I was going to get if "IT" was going down. Our sources connected to this ongoing saga are deep on the inside and are pretty dead on with their information (Some of you promoters know first hand I speak truth) have informed me that LeBron James will announce tomorrow night that he's leaving Cleveland to join D.Wade and Chris Bosh in South Florida!!!
Now they claim King James will be in Miami tomorrow night along with Wade and Bosh.
Damn Mike Gardner have you joined a church? Your luck couldn't get any better!

Normally I would be proud to say i told you first. But! Even though my sources are very close to this situation, i'm still skeptical. It just doesn't make sense! Why would you hold a one hour special in your hometown to announce that you're leaving? They better have S.W.A.T. onsite cause if what is being said to me is true, the King is gonna have to get out of town quickly, which would explain him being in Miami tomorrow night.

So i'm putting it out there, LeBron to Miami according to my sources. I personally got to see it to believe it, I don't he's leaving Cleveland. Either way we'll know tomorrow night around 10:00 pm EST.

Jamarcus Russell Is A Dumb Ass
Monday July 5th
6:30 pm EST

In December one of my good friends from the L.A. days calls me up 2:30 in the morning. DF as he will be known as, was asking me about a codeine based liquid drug called "Syrup".

He didn't know much about it and was asking background information on how it affects people who are on it. So I give him some details about it and then I joke that even though there is still a large market in Houston, the hayday for this drug has passed. That's when he hits me with a bombshell.

He tells me that his friends from the neighborhood he grew up in in Oakland had told him that JaMarcus Russell had been rolling thru purchasing "Syrup" on a regular basis!

At first I didn't wan't to belifeve that Russell was that stupid, but now with his arrest today for possession of codeine in Mobile, Alabama it seems that Russell is dumber than I thought.

Story Courtesy of Daniela Werner of Mobile Press-Register
MOBILE, Ala. -- Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell was arrested today for possession of a controlled substance, according to the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. 

The substance was codeine syrup, spokeswoman Lori Myles said.

Myles said Russell was arrested at his home early this afternoon during an undercover investigation.  He was booked into Mobile Metro Jail at 4:22 p.m.   Russell was released minutes later after making $2,500 bail, according to online records.

Russell is scheduled to appear in court on July 20.  A bond hearing is set for July 7.

Russell played high school football at Williamson High School in Mobile.  He played quarterback for LSU from 2003 to 2006 and was the No. 1 draft pick for the  Raiders in 2007. 

Russell went 7-18 as a starting QB.  The Raiders released Russell last May.

Weekend Recap
Monday July 5th
2:30 pm

Awright Essence Music Festival 2010 is in the books and the weekend winner is??? NEW ORLEANS!!! That's right, damn near every room in the city sold out, Mary J, Janet, Jill & Alicia all performed this weekend and no major incidents. Also Harrah's Casino and the W Hotel bar.

Harrah's always wins when there's a big event. I mean it's open 24 hours they serve food late, late, late night and there's non-stop gambling all day all night.

The W Hotel lobby and bar are always crowded because there's no cover to get in the lobby and there's always women in that lobby. Women + Drinks = A WIN for The W.
