im just glad that this mess was resolved quickly unlike anna nicoles situation. both of these questions could have been answered 48 hours after the baby was born, if everyone was on their a-game. if i were eddie and i really wanted to know if that child was mine, i wouldve taken that test ASAP! there are dna tests now that you can find out BEFORE the baby is even born who the father is (they just cost a lot more than regular dna tests, but w/both of these parents money, they couldve easily afforded it). i just hope he takes care of this child like he takes care of his other children and dont treat this one like a “step child” just because of the drama he had w/mel b.

now i understand how some of the fellas feel about the situation, and even though im in a deadbeat dad situation (mine just outright refuses to take one and is hiding from the govt) let me ask yous this. if you were questioning whether a female was pregnant with your child, wouldnt you want to take the test ASAP rather than wait?!? you dont have to wait to go on maury to get tested. you can arrange these tests via phone, hospitals, courts, and internet. and the major dna testing facilities even tell you if your state’s judicial system accepts the test performed by them.

eddie shouldve handled the situation differently. he shouldve just said “no comment” and taken the test, rather than putting the business out. as for mel b, she shouldve done the same, but i wouldnt be surprised if those pregnancy hormones were kicking in when she was being interviewed lol.

I’ve never engaged in an argument on here, but Akata or whatever you need to fall back. You don’t know me or every black American woman, so who the heck are you to sit up here and make broad generalizations? This is a private blog/site, and the messages here do not represent the majority of black women’s opinions (heck, most of them are in JEST and are not serious). I challenge you to say that very same crap on a non-blog forum filled with educated black women, I belong to several and could give you recommendations on where to go.

On second thought, never mind. Your ignorance and logical fallacies are not needed where I hang.

PS If you ARE indeed African, as another poster assumed, I find it quite interesting that my own fiance is from Africa (Senegal) and does NOT hold the same views as you. Black women are not a monolithic group no more than Africans or any other group are. Next time come with an educated remark, “my brother”.

reading is fundamental: LORD, you sound like some kind of ghetto trash, and I would HATE to be married into a family like yours.

bill: I think that if a man is in any kind of continual relationship with a woman, then when she says she is pregnant and he is the father, he should assume she is telling the truth and be involved in the pregnancy as though she is telling the truth and worry about tests when the baby is born. that way, he doesn’t look like a piece of shit when he finds out (as men usually do) that the child is his.

Um, I think there was a problem with the test, because he initially refused to go through with the process. That speaks volumes about his character, if he wasn’t sure, would it have not made sense to step up and request the test immediately, just as he blasted her out publicly (like a big ole bitch). Eddie Murphy is just Hollywood garbage with cash. And maybe Ms. Tracey will marry him so she can play step Mami to all those hijos!

Mel put herself out there though, probably thought she had that rolling stone of a hoe locked down. He’s just another no count black man with a zillion kids all over the planet. And who has 5 kids this days? Tsk Tsk Nicole!

LOL!!! Who in the hell would want to lay with Eddie? Ew…

Women have the luxury of having the baby coming of there body ! U being the mother is never in question . It’s totally different for men …. U can try and take a women for her word but it ain’t guaranted . A blood test is really the only sure fire way a man knows … which ain’t going to sit well with no women . He could have said no comment . Which would have still let space for countless accusations …. paternity being one . He say if I’m the father I will take responsibility …. what else can U ask for ?

@ BILL, OFCOURSE IF SHANIQUA GOT PREGGERS THEN A TEST SHOULD BE GIVIN

BUT…U SHOULDNT GENERALIZE A WOMAN JUST LIKE U SHOULDNT GENERALIZE A MAN, IF YOU MIND CAN ONLY THINK AS FAR AS CAFF’S DOES REGARDING VAGINAS THEN YOU SHOULD STILL BE SUCKIN UR MOTHERS BREAST FOR MILK.

THE SMELL OF VAGINA OR HOW GOOD A WOMAN LOOKS DOESNT MEAN SHES A WOMAN BY SOUL, ITS NOT HARD 2FIGURE OUT A PERSON, MORALLY AND SEXUALLY IF U SEE A WOMAN SAYING ONE THING AND DOING SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAT SHE IS THE ONE UR GONNA HAVE TO TEST, BUT IT STILL BOILS DOWN TO USING A CONDOM DONT LET ANY MAN OR WOMAN STOP YOU FROM USING IT, UNLESS UR MARRIED, AND IF UR MARRIED SPOUSE IS KNOWN FOR COMPULSIVE LIES OR SPEADIN LEGS OR WATEVER THEN YOU STILL NEED A TEST, I MEAN FORGET CHILD SUPPORT THE CHILD NEEDS LOVE SUPPORT PARENTS -NO MONEY HIS ASS CAN OFFER WILL ERASE NOT HAVING A FATHER, AND I DONT PUT IT PAST MEL THAT SHES A HOE BUT DONT GENERALIZE WOMEN CUZ NOT ALL OF US ARE THE SAME

hahah i knew he was the father of the baby!!!
I can’t believe he tried to make her seem like a slut or something.
Now he just needs to man up and take responsibilty for his actions and child.
I just feel bad that Melanie and him aren’t together anymore enough to raise the baby together.

Ok fine, he’s the baby daddy, can we all get some sleep now?

# 205 you says this : “Not even oomfoofoo from Africa is gonna put up with this shit!!!!!!!lol”

Pliz cant you forget the blessed name of my MOTHERLAND in your black men/women american bullshits issues?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damned !

#215 blackvenus : OH (POOR POOR) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh God it’s so interesting to see the real STUPID spirit of some black american (I say SOME not all). And they call themselves AFRICAN-american so, hum ! (turned yes) I lov this blog b/c as an african girl, I could really read enough about this story of Brainwashing and resentment. I Big up for you and continue to be upset about white racism (again tirned eyes) and on the other way, to write things like this. You sounds so so intelligent and good in your mind you know !

Oh yeah @ Akata (I know what this means, btw). Obviously you are just like other people who believe stereotypes. One would assume that by your so called name that you are an African, maybe even Nigerian. In the healthcare (nursing, RN) industry where I work, yes, some black Americans are educated, Africans are seen by many of the staff as lazy and trying to appear to do their work and asskissers of the white man. … You need to get a grip and go back to your little dirty hut, dressed in animal skin, running with spears and drinking dirty water covered in flies spreading AIDS. At least that’s how the media portrays you. Now back to the topic.

@200

Sis, my only thing is, what is the motivation behind the celebration. That’s it. I have to call it how I see it. I don’t have Bill’s skills at diplomacy. I didn’t see where any women said, “Good, now the child will know both it’s father and mother and will grow up in a stable environment where she’ll be cared for.” Then I wouldn’t have had shit to say. If ladies are going to come with, “how you feel now stupidass nigga….” that shows me that the intent is to demean the black man. If I’m wrong then please correct me. Ignorant is what the African man (#219) said. Not to digress but that’s what makes me laugh about black people trying to embrace “Mother Africa”.

My only issue was that it seemed like he was making Mel B out to be some kind of hoe: not cool. Unless he knew that she was sleeping around, there was no reason for him to impugn her character that way. I don’t have any kids but if I became pregnant and the father of my child has the gall to ask me for a paternity test that lets me know right there that I have fucked up: I’m dealing with someone who obviously thinks I’m a slut or doesn’t trust me. I wouldn’t be sleeping with someone who didn’t know and love me well enough not to question our child’s paternity. It’s about knowing who you’re dealing with!

eddie is a bastard… i knew he was the father all along, and the way he played her on tv sayin that they don’t go out anymore and that he doesn’t know who the father is.. i lost all respect for him after that..

@ Judah I dont think the female bloggers were trying to demean him ,its all how Eddie handled the whole situation . He continously said the child was not his, knowing damn well he had unprotected sex with the women. So that’s why its so funny to us (women) and he’s such a “stupidass nigga”! He played himself. If he would have said Im not sure if the child is mines , I could respect that . But he was just an all around ass about the whole ordeal .

Mel B is still a Z-list celebrity. We all know she plan and calculate got pregnant by Eddie Murphy. Now he a fool to get caught up in her plan should had been more careful. Frankly this is not going to help gain a place in the entertainment businees.
She yesterdays news who got a lucky break in todays headlines. Now that the baby has been proven to be his no one will care anymore about her. After all it not like he gets major coverage now. This has gave him more coverage than he normally gets. Plus he will give her a check every month and be through with it. He doesnt care about her or that baby. He to busy thinking he’s the man because he’s got babyface ex wife. So Mel take that baby and your child support check which will be like your welfare check and go somewhere. I have no compassion for her and the only compassion I have for him is because he is stupid.

@240

Sis I didn’t see the interviews where he said the child wasn’t his. In the interviews I saw, he said, “don’t be presumptuous…”, meaning he was waiting for the test results. If he did say that the child wasn’t his, then he was obviously in the wrong.

Damn!!! That Is Some Bullshit!

She Laughin Straight To The Bank With This Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah

She Laughin Straight To The Bank With This Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah
Hah Hah Hah

LOL

Im not really gon hate on how Eddie wouldn’t accept the child as his til the paternity test came thru. In this day n age its a man’s right to know fo sho. But y he had to mak it so public. He made home girl seem lik a skank as if there was more than one guy she cuda blame her baby on….n he made himsef seem nasty too cuz why wud you sex some1 presumably without a condom if you thought she was gettin dwn with others?? Altogether he seemed likd an idiot. Besides aint this bey more into prostitutes or men or summinlikethat…

He has like 6 other kids, and he supportin them so his pockets ain’t hurtin and Mel ain’t starvin for a check either. I think he made her look stupid by sayin we don’t know who’s child that is…now everyone knows it is his just like she said. Case closed. He shoulda never made that comment..

(MAURY) “in the case of 3month old angel iris murphy brown, EDDIE YOU ARE THE FATHER”

MEL- I TOLD UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, CUT THE CHECK……….

@ Judah, you see, if Eddie is being called stupid, it’s not because he’s a black man, that’s because he deserves it. Paris was called an idiot when she went to jail cause she deserved it. Vivica Fox was called an idiot for dating a known playa aka 50 cent because she deserved it. Everything is not a gender/race thing, it’s not about dissing “the black man”, Eddie doesn’t represent all black men. People are laughing (and that includes some black men), not because “he’s a black man”, but because they know it’s a shame how he handled the situation and now he looks like a fool. How you gonna break up on TV, and after you done said PUBLICLY that you don’t know who the father is, you REFUSE to take a DNA test? Almost a year later you still ain’t taken it and have to be taken to court to do so? I don’t care if he’s black white orange yellow or grey, a fool is a fool is a fool. Had he kept that thing private in the first place he wouldn’t look like a fool now. He brought it all on himself, like Paris and Vivica.

Lawdy, why r the africans arguing with the black americans? to the white man, we’re all ni##ers………….so there.

I wonder what Eddie’s girl had to say about it?!

Well Mel told his ass from the jump that it was his baby… It’s a shame they had to go thru the legal stuff…. Dude should have stepped up to the plate from the get go.

I don’t even like Mel B that much, but BWAHAHAHA!

Eddie needs to grow up, apologize and pay her what he’s paying baby mama #1 per child.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA

SORRY YALL I CANT HELP BUT START TO SING….JIMMY GOT SOUL..JIMMY GOT SOUL…JIMMY GOT JIMMY GOT JIMMY GOT SOUL….EDDIE GOT STROKE…EDDIE GOT STROKE EDDIE BUST A NUT AND THOUGHT IT WAS COOL…EDDIE GOT FOOLED EDDIE GOT FOOLED…EDDIE GOT EDDIE GOT EDDIE GOT FOOLED…..(MAURY VOICE) YOU ARE..THE BABY FATHER!!!!!

“Judah sometimes when communicating anything about a black women you say some ignorant shit !! People are laughing (and that includes some black men), not because “he’s a black man”, but because they know it’s a shame how he handled the situation and now he looks like a fool.”

I could NOT have said this any better myself…..I REFUSE to engage in any form of mental discourse with someone so GROSSLY unarmed.

“Reading is fundamental: LORD, you sound like some kind of ghetto trash, and I would HATE to be married into a family like yours.”

We are decent people who take pride in our bloodline and embrace those who are a part of it. It’s a nice thing to know that those who bear our surname are actually ours. We are not in the business of raising bastards, although others might be. NO we aren’t hood compost, and NO you certainly could NOT be related to us. Since you chose to bring Our Father into this: Thank heaven for small mercies that you aren’t ………Amen. Praise Him. THANK YOU JESUS!

Good for you Mel B…..You have your truth documented and classified. Now you can move on. You have your own money anyway…It’s understood that the BLATANT disrespect was the issue. Raise your little Angel like the beautiful princess she is!
Eddie: It was unnecessary to put Mel through all of that nonsense. You suck. You knew it was yours all along you bastid.
Tracey: You talk too much, but RUN like the WIND!
Johnny: My mymymymymymymy…..

#24 Caff you are the man or woman.My sentiments exactly.

good for iris and mel !

eddie sucks !

Why was Eddie Murphy wrong, if the bitch is a ho tan he did what was needed.

How can the blame be placed solely and squarely on Eddies’s shoulders? I think a lot of the people who are responding so strongly against him may be transfering some powerful emotions they may have from their personals situations. But here’s the thing, Eddie is not your child’s father and he and Scary’s situation is not your own. #1 He never said that she was sexually indiscriminant. He merely told a dutch news show that it had not been established whether or not he is the father. At that time this was true.
#2 How can some of you say with such assurance what the hell happened in their relationship or be so certain exactly who Scary was sleeping with and when she was sleeping with them. That’s a whole lot of knowing for people who don’t even know these people much less their personal habits. If everyone was this knowledgeable about their own relationships this world would be a better place.

#3 How did Eddie make her sound like a slut? I didn’t get that from his comments. Besides, Scary seemed a lot less concerned with how she was looking in public b/c I’ve seen her posted up on dates on this very website with at least two different men since her baby was born. Now I’m not saying that constitutes sexually provacative behavior but at the very least how do you find so much time for dating when you have a new born at home?

Seriously, I think they both exibited some very poor judgement. They both should have been more responsible with the bc and then we would not even be having this conversation.

Eddie wont abandon lil Edwina. Sooner or later hes gone be the one fighting in court saying Ms Scary aint suitable to raise a child.

DAYUM EDDIE! DON’T YOU HAVE ENOUGH KIDS …. KEEP THAT JIMMY HANDY MAN

@254

Lol. If you refuse to engage in mental discourse with me, it’s because you know that you’ll be systematically dismantled. That’s why you tried to piggybank on Tammy’s back, like all cowards do that have no independent, intellectual foundation to their opinions.
