COUPLED UP: MARY J. BLIGE & KENDU AT THE LAKERS GAME

January 6th, 2010

Mary J. Blige and her husband producer Kendu Isaacs look lovey-dovey at a game between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center on Tuesday (January 5) in Los Angeles, California.

The couple was under some media scrutiny recently when video went around of their incident at Mary’s album release party last month. They got into a argument and Mary slapped him across the face for flirting with a woman at the event (SEE VIDEO). They look liked they worked that out though.

    The media kills me…there was never any proof of anything really except her getting into her man’s shit about something that pissed her off. I never even saw a slap in that grainy footage that people keep saying. SMH.

    Are you suppose to end your marriage over one minor public incident??? come on people, everybody argue when in a relationship, it’s how you work things out, improve that relationship and yourself , that’s all that matters. ( Stronger with each tear)

    I wonder how much is in it for this clown to be a punching bag for this reformed wh*re, cokehead dyke, satanist? It’s amazing to me that a man can stand there and allow a person to put their hands on him like he allowed her to, and then taunt him on top of that lol. Meanwhile Tiger Woods stumbles out of his house with facial injuries after that cavewoman took a 5 iron golf club to his face smh. Some of those pictures look like she wishes she had a penis to scratch.

    Damn man some of you need to stop. Can’t a couple have an argument anymore? They made up and they’re happy and moving on from a minor argument. They were always pictured looking happy before you saw them arguing.

    Such a double standard. if she were flirting with another man, would it have beeen OK for him to slap HER? If he would have retaliated and slapped her back, would it have been just another couple “having an argument?” I think not. But because it’s Mary J. Blige, she’s STRONG for handling her business and resorting to violence.

    That time it was just a slap, but she might be pulling knives or guns next time and then someone really gets hurt. OR she’s slaps him and he retaliates and then he’s in the wrong. Point is, nobody should be putting their hands on anybody. Regardless of how small we think it is, domestic violence is always wrong.

    Don't Argue With Me It's JUST An Opinion

    They’re posing for the paps people, that might explain why it looks “staged.” Mary makes entire albums about her love for this man, I guess she’s staging those too right. Give me a fucking break.

    Hey every marriage goes through some issue. Look back on your own parents. There is nothing fake about what they feel for each other.

    Theonly fake couple I hear about is Jay and Beyonce. If you are married act like it. I don’t really believe Jay & bey are married.

    Hmmm. I reserve judgment 1. Because Mary is my fav, fav artist and so I am a little bias, and 2nd because I’m not them, I wasn’t there and have no right to speak on it, but physical attacks are not right at all whether it be man-on-woman or woman-on-man, they just aren’t…a slap is just as bad as a punch. However, I do know that I would be beyond livid if my partner were to disrespect me in such form. I do not believe there is such a thing as harmless flirting when in a committed relationship. Sure, I would have handled our business behind closed doors (and without the physical attack) but I do understand her anger in this situation. I do hope they can move on past it together.

    No, not because the don’t argue, slap each other, or show any form of affection towards each other.

    They act like they are dating you never hear them acknowledge each other about anything.

    I may not be famous but I love my husband and I let everyone know it. And he does the same to me. Some form of public affection will not kill you.

    I have always believed Mary to be a butch lesbian and never liked her. She has a bad attitude and is not cute. She is not a lady and I knew from the start her relationship with that man was a sham. I never envisioned her with a man. He looks feminine anyways and like her little puppy she takes around on the leash. I bet she beats the living life out of him at home. Abuse is abuse.

    Why is she sitting like that with her legs open? She is so masculine and needs to stop screeching and screaming and start singing. She is NO Pattie.

    It looks fake/staged/forced. You don’t have to be involved with someone or even know them to know when something isn’t right and doesn’t look right. Mary’s song are not about her husband, believe that (not all). So, tired that every time a song comes out it has to be that the artist is singing about that one person. It’s called a song writer that’s how they get paid, MB doesn’t write all of her own songs. Come on people! Stop being so gullible

    Sure they can have their arguments but there is a time and place for all of that ish…and if she got that pissed over him “supposedly” flirting then she isn’t as “secure” as she seems…but regardless, if this is fake and there are issues behind closed doors (namely domestic violence), it’ll come out…one way or the other….

    ***In unrelated news*** U know wat, Bobby? Ur right! She has yet to release any wedding photos, yet her concert tickets and meet and greet cost 2 arms and 3 legs (source: The Skorpion Show….Lmao) plus the $ she gets from CD sales.

    If I were a fan/stan spending my money on her I would form a union LOL I would not support her until she released the pics Lmao

    I don’t need to catch feelings, it’s not that serious. The only one catching any feelings on here is YOU which is why you replied. I obviously stroke a nerve…Lmao
    YOU’re the one sounding like a damn fool! denying the fact that a couple who’ve been together for 9 years are happy and still in love
    GET YOURSELF A MAN AND LEAVE BEYONCE AND HER WEDDING PICS ALONE! LMAO….Call Jay whatever you like, at least he’s man enough to marry her and treat her well….a feeling your bitter and sorry ass will never experience….STAY MAD!!!
    The nerves of hoeanna’s stans to be calling the Carters fake…yet they believe hoeanna’s relationships are ‘real’. Well, look how her last ‘real’ relationship ended up….

    ‘I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF PICS OF PEOPLE RIDING CAMELS BEFORE’, uhm…were you trynna make a point? Lol…FAIL!!

    Why Beyonce and Jay Z marriage gotta to do with Mary J Blige marriage??? You guys are wack!!! First of all, it was Mary ‘sbrother and her husband had an arguement and she was stopping it. and is it anyone business?? I don’t understand you Americans, can’t some black couples who are married be happy??? What you want them to be ghetto and miserable?? If Beyonce and Jay want to keep there marriage private, so be it!!! Are they paying your bills??? Are they giving you their money??? Get a damn ass grip, and read something real importance like world issues, people are dying and you caring about this nonsense!!! Everybody marriage has arguements about money, kids, the house, the bills, I don’t understand and I will never will!!!
