MYRA PANACHE’S ‘BLIND ITEM DELUXE’
Friday, October 20, 2006
*I recently convinced a friend (who is non-black) to open up about her abusive relationship with a well known black celebrity. The physical and mental abuse was so severe, she is still undergoing therapy.
She met him at a party and he swept her off her feet. She was also impressed by his celebrity. When she called and told me she was dating him, I warned her about the physical abuse rumors surrounding him. She brushed off my information but a warning sign did go up when he told her, ‘He was extremely jealous and he didn’t know what he was capable of doing if he ever caught her fooling around on him.’
Despite the remark, they moved in together, things started off okay until his cocaine use escalated. She was also taken aback by his critical comments of black women, since many of her friends were black. He would go on verbal tirades, putting down black women. She said, his rhetoric sounded like something you would hear from a white racist. When her white female friends came over to visit, he was talkative and posed with them for photos. When her black female friends came over, he didn’t even acknowledge them. He was cold and distant. When she confronted him, he punched her in the face and threw her down.
She moved out, he was apologetic and promised not to hit her again, he also lavished her with candy, jewelry and flowers. Foolishly, she went back.
During this time, she began to hear rumors that he was soliciting sleazy street prostitutes behind her back.
When she went on the set of one of his films, she noticed he was agitated, he told her, they had cast a black woman in the film and he planned to make her life miserable, which he did. The actress would complain that he was very rude to her and tried to humiliate her in front of the cast and crew at every turn.
Later, he vowed, this wouldn’t happen again, he had his agent put a clause in his future contracts, he would have casting approval. In future films, his female co-stars were not black.
One night, he hosted a party, she lost track of him, she found him in a room, with a man and she saw white powder under his nose. After the party, he beat her, because she hadn’t knocked before she entered the room.
Before she left him for good, she said, he was strung out on drugs and paranoid. He was also spending all of his money on cocaine.
She also said, ‘it was odd, right after he covered me with bruises, it seemed like a turn-on to him, he always wanted to have sex, after he beat me up.’ She adds, ‘It was almost like the bruises aroused and excited him, the abuse was like foreplay for him.’
Recently, she heard from a mutual friend, that he was using a ‘Metro’ phone ($45 dollars a month, unlimited calls) to converse with people and that his last remaining business had gone belly up. He was flat-broke.

Its not Wesley, the blind item says his future films did not have black women in them, well his last project was the HBO movie “Dissapearing Acts” based on Terry Mcmillans famous book and Sanaa Lathan who is black played his girl and in the movie he cheats on her with a black girl and also his baby momma is black in the movie. That dont sound like a man who doesnt want to act with black women to me.
And though he has IRS issues earlier this week in the Daily News they spoke of his assets, Mansion in Beverly Hills, Town House in NY etc.

I think’s Wesley Snipes.The fact that he doesnt care about black women isn’t just a rumor, it’s a FACT…I remember 7 years ago, he was at a club in Montreal where I live and he didn’t acknoledge any of the black women there.Yet he was being very friendly with the white women. We couldnt believe what was happening cause we had never heard of his not liking black women.I was really confused until I found out later on that he didnt care for black women at all…So I’m sure it’s his black racist ass!

I was thinking Wesley too since he publicly swore off Black women but whoever it is they have serious issues.
If someone hates their own race, they hate themselves. It’s cool to prefer a woman of another race, but don’t put down Black women to justify it. I wouldn’t want his insecure, ignorant Black ass anyway.

The actress he treated poorly was most likely Sanaa Lathan…Christopher Williams was the one who told everyone Wesley Snipes busted Halle’s eardrum because people were trying to incenuate that Christopher did it(Christopher Williams and Halle had a relationship before she got with Wesley)…Christopher did an interview to clear his name.

I think the same thing everytime I read the comments for Blind Items too. Reading is very fundamental.
The blind item would be “This r&b male loves the ladies!” And sombody will say “ooooo, I think it’s Lenny Kravitz!” Clearly, Lenny is not an R&b artist.

It is a fact that wesley snipes doesn’t like black women. He has always dated high yellow women, white or Asian women. And the black he did date were high yellow. If he owe like $12 million to the IRS then he is broke. It doesn’t matter how many houses he has or any other valuable things. Thats a lot of money for him. Because when was the last time he had a successful movie. And if this is him in the blind item coke is a expensive drug, so I’m pretty sure he ain’t setting on a lot of money. And then why is he hiding from the IRS if you him & made all that money from all those films he made it shouldn’t be a problem writing a check for that amount. I think its him its too many things that lead his way. And its not that many black actors in Hollywood anyway & most of them are married to black woman.

PEOPLE Please get off the Wesley Snipes bandwagon…
Wesley ISN’T BROKE, He HAS MONEY, He JUST DOESN’T WANT to part with the 45% - 55% of the MILLIONS he EARNS through his efforts within the Entertainment Industry… That’s right I SAID MILLIONS !!!!!
He fucking OWNS the BLADE Triology (And TRUST, That BITCH made MAD MONEY overseas — as well as DVD sales/rentals… And he has produced several hollywood movies w/ top talent
So GET OFF his TIP and let’s make a Real Educated Guess ( If there’s such a thing )

Thank you Something Fierce. I’ve read a billion comments across different boards about how Wesley is broke, let’s send in money for Wesley, etc., etc., etc.. He didn’t pay his taxes because he lacked the money. He’s part of a number of people who don’t believe that they should be taxed on their income. Many tax protestors use the 861 argument to back up their belief in not having to pay taxes on their income.

What about Cuba Gooding Jr? Doesn’t he exclusively date white women? Woman beater?
Wayne Brady, but he is not a movie star and I could not IMAGINE him abusing anyone. So adorable..
So, all signs point back to Wesley. I don’t think the blind items are COMPLETELY true. Like they have to throw in that the person has a drug/alcohol problem, or a porn/sex addiction, or is physically abusive or that they squandered millions and are now broke. Personally, I find it very hard to believe that Wesley is broke.
Some of it is purely fiction to keep the reader interested.

Snipes Set To Lose Second Florida Home in Tax Sting
14 April 2005 (WENN)
Action man Wesley Snipes is reportedly set to lose a second Florida home in a tax sting. The Blade star lost one estate in 2003 through a foreclosure sale and now he has another property at risk near Orlando, according to US news show Celebrity Justice. Officials claim the fallen star owes more than $23,000 in back taxes, interest and fines on the house. The property, assessed at $257,843, was scheduled to be auctioned off on Tuesday, but the sale has been rescheduled to June. It’s one of many headaches for Snipes, who is also in the middle of a two-year-old paternity battle with an Indiana woman. Lanise Pettis, claims Snipes is the father of her son, Israel, and has demanded the actor take a DNA test. When Snipes failed to show for a court-ordered test, a warrant for his arrest was issued. The actor will now be arrested if he sets foot in New York, where the case is being tried. Meanwhile, Snipes has filed his own appeal to get out of the DNA test.
Snipes Loses Bid To Overturn Arrest Warrant
27 January 2005 (WENN)
Blade star Wesley Snipes’ request for a federal judge to cancel an arrest warrant stemming from an Indiana paternity case was rejected yesterday. US District Judge Loretta Preska threw out Snipes’ suit asking her to nullify a warrant for his arrest in New York City, stating she had no jurisdiction in the state court matter. The actor’s suit, filed last month in New York’s Manhattan federal court, sought a ruling invalidating the warrant issued by a New York family court judge. Since Snipes lives in Florida, the New York court has no jurisdiction, the actor’s lawyer argued. The warrant stemmed from a paternity suit filed in Indiana by a woman who claimed Snipes fathered her young son. In his suit, Snipes said the woman was a mentally ill former crack addict who has made similar claims against other celebrities.

Wesley Pulls Out of Press Duty
16 November 2004 (WENN)
Wesley Snipes has pulled out of all press duties for his third Blade movie Blade: Trinity. The moody actor was so insistent on not talking to the media about the movie, he signed up for another film in Bulgaria as soon as shooting finished and he has been incommunicado ever since. Trinity producer Peter Frankfurt says, “Wesley is in Bulgaria shooting a movie. He’s done three movies in Bulgaria. Actually I haven’t talked to Wesley. Wesley won’t return my calls? He hasn’t called me to talk about it. If he was genuinely unhappy with the film we would have heard something. There’s a lot going on in his life and he’s got a lot of issues at hand so who knows. The guy is an awesome Blade. We’ve made three movies. Sometimes the paths of communication between us are fantastic and sometimes they’re non- existent. If Wes doesn’t want to do press that’s a career choice he’s made.” Snipes also insisted on having total control on the set, green-lighting all scenes in which he appeared, and he stayed in character as the brooding vampire anti-hero throughout the movie. Frankfurt adds, “Wesley has script and director approval of all the Blade movies. He had to sign off on absolutely everything we were doing.”

‘Blade’ Star in More Financial Trouble
5 May 2003 (WENN)
Blade star Wesley Snipes is in more financial trouble after upsetting one of Hollywood’s biggest talent agencies. The movie star lost his Florida mansion last year due to non-payment of his mortgage and now he’s being sued for $100,000 by the William Morris Agency in payments. In a new suit filed against Snipes, WMA bosses claim he has failed to honor an agreement to pay them the money he owes. Ironically, the new suit comes days after the $1.7 million Florida home a court ordered foreclosure on last year was sold for just $685,000.

Wesley Snipes’ Home Loss Nightmare
19 March 2002 (WENN)
Blade star Wesley Snipes has a good reason to be distraught about the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11 - because he lost his home. The 39-year-old actor’s fourth floor New York apartment suffered extensive structural damage, causing many of his precious belongings to be destroyed. Luckily, on the day of the devastating attacks, Snipes was at his other home in Marina del Ray, California, taking care of his third child Iset who arrived on her father’s birthday on July 31st. He says, “My apartment got blown out. I lived right across the street from Ground Zero. The most damaged part of the building was where my baby boys slept. If my daughter hadn’t been born, I would’ve been here. When I got back to New York, I was homeless for a while. No one believes me, but it’s true.”

Snipes “Threatened To Kill” Director
19 January 2005 (WENN)
Actor Wesley Snipes threatened to kill Blade: Trinity director David Goyer because he felt his all action character had been sidelined to make room for two new ones. The 42-year-old’s co-stars, Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel, recently complained he had alienated himself from everyone working on the third installment of the vampire-fest, by remaining in character for the entire duration of the shoot. And movie insiders tell British magazine OK! that Snipes was so furious about his marginalized role, he made physical threats against Goyer. An insider confides, “Wesley made death threats against David. David was scared for his life.” But a spokesperson for Goyer counters, “Wesley is a method actor. There’s always a lot of tension on set.”

Snipes “Love-Child” Mother Living In Poverty
29 January 2002 (WENN)
The woman who claims Wesley Snipes is the father of her 11- month-old son is living in poverty. Thirty-year-old Lanise Pettis from Indiana has brought legal action against the millionaire star, after claiming that she had an affair with 39-year-old Snipes two years ago - resulting in the birth of their son. Court documents now reveal that Pettis is forced to survive on $443 a month in food stamps and welfare payments. Snipes - who has a 13-year-old son, Jelani, with ex-wife April - has refused to comment on the allegations.

You act like BLADE Triology is Star Wars or something like that. Yeah Blade Triology made money but let’s brake it down if he has all these homes then he has to pay taxes on the houses regular every month bills Not to mention his other expensive traveling clothes, food etc. I’m pretty sure he his lawers, management etc. So they are taking a nice peace of his money every month. And do you know that a COKE habit is just as expensive as any car or home you can buy. Cocaine is the most expensive durg you can buy. That’s why we hear so many people go broke in Hollywood because of a coke habit & entertainer’s fill coke is a rich person drug. But if it isn’t Wesley then who could it be Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Omar Epps are married to black women & even Mekhi Phifer has a kid with Melinda Williams Don Cheadle is dating a black woman & Terrence Howard has just got divorce but has been in many movies with black women. So who does that leave??????????????

To hear Snipes tell it, it’s not completely his fault that he’s considered to be on the same level of the Hollywood food chain as Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme (although Snipes has more range).
When it’s suggested that his performances are stronger opposite black actors than white, a curious moment arises. He laughs and disses black actors. “[A] lot of the scripts I’ve been in with other non-white actors haven’t been all that great. [A] lot of non-white actors ain’t all that great,” he says. Then Snipes tries to cover his tracks. He says that “there are a lot of good actors coming out of both cultures.”
This is not the first time Snipes has put his foot in his mouth when discussing race in public. He once implied that he was no longer interested in dating black women because they were too much work. He is currently is involved with Korean painter Nikki Park, the mother of his two youngest children.

I have to agree with some the more ‘ASTUTE’ observers of these blind item columns. I enjoy them as much as the next person but what really irks me are the people who throw out random stupid guesses because of their lack of common sense.
Dennis Rodman is not and never will be a movie star. West coast rapper does not make a Diddy no matter how much you think he matches the blind item. When they say he was a basketball player on the East Coast, it does not mean Detroit..it’s called geography 101!
Cmon! Some of you bumbleheads take away from the fun of the guesses by dropping assinine answers…because it inevitably leads to another fool agreeing with you.

Maybe because he’s been called “dark and crispy” by people like you, all of his life. It’s a damn shame, we make people feel bad about their skin color, and then wonder why they hate themselves, and anyone who has the same color. Some of you are real idiots!
