Beatz: Alicia Keys Not Responsible For Breakup
The rumors have been circulating that Alicia Keys is the other woman in the breakup of the marriage of producer Swizz Beatz and his wife Mashonda.
Things allegedly got worse last week when Alicia threw a birthday party for Swizz at midtown’s Louis Vuitton store, where guests included Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony and Robin Thicke, NY Daily News reports
“Alicia introduced Swizz as ‘The man of the hour and my boo,’” says an insider. “Mashonda has had enough. She put her career on hold to be a wife and mother. She’s tired of pretending she’s deaf, dumb and blind to what’s going on. She can’t believe how disrespectful Alicia is being.”
Back in April there was an announcement that the couple had separated. A friend of Mashonda said, “That was his announcement. She got sucked into it. She thought they were trying to put their marriage back together. Meanwhile, he’s apparently been telling Alicia that his marriage was over.”
Mashonda is said to have exploded when she found a flirty e-mail from Alicia on Swizz’s BlackBerry. According to sources, she fired back a reply, reminding the singer he was still her husband.
Mashonda has now hired powerhouse lawyer Bernard Clair.
“This could have been handled quietly,” said a friend. “But now Mashonda has taken the gloves off.”
A friend of Swizz said, “His relationship with Alicia began after their separation. He hasn’t kept it a secret. He still has great love for Mashonda and has promised to take care of her and their son and support her career.”
Now Beatz is speaking out about the rumors blaming Keys for his marital breakup. He tells Usmagazine.com.
“I can no longer ignore the harmful rumors, that my friend Alicia Keys is in any way linked to my marital circumstances or to the decision that [my wife] Mashonda and I have made to separate,” Beatz tells Usmagazine.
“I am disappointed that some have chosen to try and tarnish Alicia’s reputation by irresponsibly implicating her in a situation that she has absolutely nothing to do with,” Beatz, a father of two, says.
“This experience has been one of the most difficult times in my life, and as was stated when we announced our separation several months ago, I ask that you continue to respect my privacy in dealing with this personal matter,” Beatz tells Usmagazine.
