In September’s Essence magazine, Jill Scott (featured on the cover) speaks with Terry McMillan about her divorce and how she is dealing with it. As stated on the cover she admits that she isn’t broken in anyway.
If you didn’t know, back in June AOL Black voices, gave the exclusive news about her impending divorce from husband of 5 years, Lyzel Williams. Williams was the inspiration for one of Scott’s most memorable songs, ‘He Loves Me (Lyzel In E Flat)’.
In related Jill Scott news, her new album sampler is available for download via her label’s website. Visit Hidden Beach to get the sampler.
Jill Scott has the most beautiful smile.
Jill Scott is a True Beauty with a really beautiful smile…….and I love her music
Where in the world has she been? I love her music she needs to get back on the scene and do her BIZness!!
she’s beautiful!!!!!!!!!
This is true. Her smile lights up a room. I’m looking forward to seeing her acting chops in action with Idris Elba.
I’m sorry for her divorce. But I will bet money it won’t change her overall spirit or joy.
Jilly from Philly, that’s my girl.
kind.
I didnt know Jill was getting a divorce!!
Well glad to see her keeping it all together.
Much Respect
Well divorces happen and we all move on.. I wish her the best.
Jill looks sooo young..her chubby cheeks make her look 15..awww shes cute
Didnt even know she was married
I didn’t even know she was married..But good luck to her.
She is a strong woman and she can handle herself well..she looks beautiful on the cover.. That’s nice.
Sorry Jill. You dont have the features to get an AMEX endorsement, but you are true talent and much props for focusing on your craft.
awww too bad the marriage aint work out….but she’s still my girl cuz she really represents R&B soul n strength…..Love u Jill cant wait for anotha album!!!!!!!!
I love Jill, luckily for all of us her divorce will not affect her music in a negative way. I am sure however, there will be some songs on her new cd about change, growth, and moving on-horray I need to listen to some beautiful music with topics like that. “He loves me, espical-ly different…..” so sad.
I remeber when she first got married and was bragging about how she was so in love with him and that women who state that they don’t need a man are lying to themselves. I am sure she was in love, but when you put someone that much on a pedastal you kinda look silly when it does not work out. I am not saying that you should not be happy and in love, but to be single is a joyful thing too.
BIG BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL! LOVES IT
^Especial-ly
Jill looks so beautiful I luv when our thick sistas grace the covers of magazines such a good look.
I still play Jill Scott’s first cd faithfully. Its my clean the house music! lol
OF COURSE I’LL BE READING THIS .
HPEFULLY SHE’LL LET US KNOW THE REASON FOR THIS DIVORCE.
I’M A FAN!
Jill is a beautiful woman I wish her alot of success. It is ironic she is talking to Terry.
Love Ya Jill, stick wit the realness boo.
i didnt know ms jill got a divorce?!?!?!?!
but i love you jill!!!!!!!!!
I’ve had HUGE crush on Jill Scott for a long time!!! Its something about that smile…
I hope this cd will not be depressing since she is getting a divorce. India Arie’s last cd made me depressed listening to her “relationship gone wrong” songs when she broke up with her boo. Jill’s last cd lacked compared to her first. Hope this one is a banger and reminiscent of the first cd.
Jill is such a beautiful woman.
CD sampler is hot!!
She looks realy good on that cover.
Sorry to hear about another marriage ending. I’m a big JS fan so i’m glad she’s doing ok. Sje has such a great spirit. I can’t wait for the next CD. I wonder how this will affect her music. Her Beautifully Human CD talked a lot about love, I wonder if she will have any tracks singing the blues this time around.
Hey CL staff can you post the story that is featured on this cover from MIchelle Obama about the death threats that she and her husband have received since he is running for president?
that’s definitely a topic worth posting-I’d like to see other people comments on that
MAKE WAY FOR MS.BEAUTIFUL!!!
Oh yeah, Jill Scott is beautiful-she reminds me of my aunties-beautiful smile, warm personality-I’m certain she will find love again-she has such a positive vibe and I’ve always liked her from day one and of course her music-I have a friend that reminds me of her-they have that I’m big, black, and beautiful and don’t give me no shit attitude-
i hope she will move on and still make good music and not go off the deep end like lauren hill
OH great! Now she’s probally gonna start making songs like ” Is it the way..I hate you”, ” Let’s take a long walk..in the park in the dark so I can stab you a no one will notice” , ” Gettin in the way..of my shot”, and “He hates Me ( Lyzell layFlat)”!
i still love her and wish her peace during this time
and another thing I believe some artist don’t release albums just for the sake of selling-it’s their craft and sometimes they write and sing about what’s going on in their lives-it’s probably therapeutic for them.
you never know they might reach that one person who is feeling the exact same way-the masses don’t get it but I don’t think that was the point they were trying to make to begin with-more like this is my pain and this is how i’m feeling-respect it-
@24 I think a lot of artist make the best music while going through something.
The cd sampler is on fire. It is definitely worth the time to register to download.
Bailey r u serious about Mrs. Obama that is sad that ppl don’t want to see a blk person rise above Ms. Rice title. Pray 4 us
now thats a Black Queen!
I am disappointed to hear about her divorce but I’m sure she is doing the best thing for her. I hope her new album does great!
# 33…..lmao very comical!
IVE SEEN HER LOOK WAAAY BETTER THAN THIS, BUT IM LOVING THAT DRESS AND THE COLOR
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO#33 THATS THE BEST COMMENT LMAO
#14,
Being single is about as good as getting your teeth pulled. Even thou you got rid of a bad tooth, it still feels like s****
I love her music and she is my idol. I’m very sorry to here that her marriage did not work out but Im happy she is able to move and not let it break her. Jill I wish you the best and continue to make great music.
I agree @ #1Pretty smile….Didn’t know she was married…
good luck to Jill..I hate reading about divorce. Hopefully it was thought out and not rushed..
and #44..that’s a good analogy. Sometimes I get really pist off at my hubby and think the big bad D word–but I always come back to reality. Nothing is easy.
Must buy this when it comes out in UK. I was surprised to hear Jill Scott was getting a divorce because her and her hubby seemed destined to be together.
But she looks beautiful (as usual).
Oh and #33- LMFAOOOO!!
^ I meant ‘together forever’.
LOL @ #44…4realz.
Anyways, I love me some Jilly Jill…going through a breakup is bad enough so I can only imagine how being in luv then getting a divorce must feel. Jill Scott is so positive I’m sure she will find strength threw the storm….can’t wait for new material from her.
All jill has to do is put her divorce in the past and look towards the future. Where my independent ladies at.
I love Jill. I’m sorry to hear about her divorce, but oh well I guess. Nowadays, I don’t get surprised.
@38 dame
look closely at jill scott’s cover-you can see the story about michelle obama and the death threats
LOVE JILL!!!!!
Now that is one strong, beautiful Black woman. Truly an inspiration…
She looks great!
@ # 33 you are crazy, lol.
It’s good she seems to be getting over the divorce pretty well. It’s sad, but it happens to the best of them.
I’m looking forward to the new album. I love her song Family Reunion, it just takes you somewhere else.
I heard her new song on the radio called “Hate on Me” and it’s a good song. something different for the radio. The words are tight.Listening to sampler now… It’s crazy. I love her creativity in her music..you can hear it in everysong! Jill does have a nice smile. It’s up there with Janet and Shanice.
@ #14
I had no idea that she talked that much shit when she got married.
For some reason, I’ve always loved her first name.
On another note, I wish she’d drop a new album. Her voice is the greatest!!
