Ed Hartwell (Lisa's Hubby) Speaks

Okay, the interview below that Ed did with Essence.com has been out for a minute, but I just decided to post some excerpts. Honestly, my real motivation for posting the interview was so I would have an excuse to post this video clip from the show of Ed modeling a speedo. His body is CRAZY!


On the TV drama between Lisa and Kim:

It's not staged. Unfortunately, it's as real as it gets. It's not staged. I think it's crazy because a lot of things that they are saying are lies. Did Lisa make a phone call to Kim? Yes. Did she threaten her life? No. [The ladies] are taking it way too far but eventually the truth will come out because there are only so many lies that you can continue to tell other people [before] they start mistrusting you, and after a while you lie so much you begin to forget your own lies, which has been happening. In the end, you ruin yourself and your reputation. It's all catty. I know Lisa doesn't do drama either, but she got dragged into it because she's human and was offended.

On drama with Lisa's ex Keith Sweat:

Me and my sons have a great relationship. I tell everyone I have three sons. They call me dad; I never say my stepkids, they are my sons. [Does he have a good relationship with Keith Sweat] Not at all. The reason is because [when I started dating] Lisa there was a lot that I had to stop from happening. I had to lay down the law, man to man.

Lisa Wu Hartwell is the Truth

Okay, I'm doing a little research on Lisa and it appears that her career is completely legit (unlike Concubine Kim) and she is doing big thangs! We all know the reality tv game is strictly for exposure. At least this chick has something worthwhile to expose. Here's an excerpt from her bio:

The play "Change Is Gonna Come" was written and produced by Hartwell and directed by a then, little known director named Tyler Perry. The UPN show, "The Industry" soon followed with a two-year run along with the movie "Black Ball", which she wrote, produced, and starred in.

Shopping at retailers such as Neiman Marcus led her to to design high-end style jewelry at a fraction of the price [http://wugirlsdesigns.com/].

On her 2 older boys (with ex Keith Sweat) not being on the show:

Jordan and Justin were not filmed because their dad would not sign the release waiver for them to appear on camera. So when you watch the show it may appear as if I only have one child and that hurts.
