I'm Sorry Miss Jackson
So, apparently the basketball "wives" and other exes of athletes and entertainers have given some men the perception that we're all golddiggers just waiting to get our hands in the pockets of some poor, unfortunate, clueless rich man. One of the hot topics I see online right now is the separation and possible divorce of one Janet Jackson and the billionaire she married. Word on the street is the prenup that they both agreed to and signed will have her leaving with a few hundered million dollars or so. It's amazing I see so many (men especially) trying to drag her and calling her a goldigger. What ya'll fail to realize is 1. You can't go digging unless someone gives you the shovel and 2. Janet ain't just some chick who was working at Forever 21 looking for a sugar daddy and a quick come up.
Let us not forget Miss Jackson(if you're nasty) has been in entertainment since she was a child and by herself is worth close to $200 million. So what ya'll won't do is come for Damita Jo! I get it, when you see the shenanigans of exes like Mike Epps', Dwayne Wades' and some others you're quick to dump any woman who stands to receive a significant amount of money from a divorce into the she tripping category. But, how soon we forget Miss Velvet Rope already had a purse full of coins when she met, dated and married this man.
For those jumping on the she's a goldigger train let's get you to understand what a prenuptial agreement is. The Pre means before, nuptial referring to marriage or a civil union and agreement meaning a unity of opinions. So basically before marriage, both parties sit down and come to an agreed set of terms that will go into place in case the marriage is dissolved. For some this seems like you're already thinking the marriage will fail. For those with sense, even though you may be head over heels in love and trust each other completely you still want to protect yourself just in case. We all know that life happens, people change, relationships end sometimes. There's nothing wrong with having something in place just in case especially if you have a lot to lose. It's actually a smart thing to do to protect yourself and your assets.
In pure wealthy people fashion they sat down and came up with terms and both agreed on them and signed on the dotted line. So basically they both knew what could possibly happen if things didn't work out and they still decided to give it a go.
Now I love Janet's music but we all know she's not the best actress out there. So it's hard for me to believe she pulled off this great theatrical performance for the last 5 years pretending to love this man.
Truth is, none of us really know what went down in that relationship. Janet hasn't ever been the type to really be out and about in the spotlight and when she got married she was seen even less. When she got pregnant her public appearances dwindled even more, she even moved out of the country and went on with her life with this man. It's undeniable that marriage and babies cause things to change in relationships. None of us can say whether or not they loved each other or what kind of relationship they had because they kept their business to themselves. It's amazing though how not knowing anything other than what we've seen in the news recently so many people have jumped to conclusions about this woman and what her intentions were with this man.
Aside from another divorce for Janet one of the saddest things in all of it is how little we think of other people. When a separation or divorce is mentioned the first thing people say is she played him, that was a set up. Janet has put in work for doggone near 40 years, earning every dime she has and now all of a sudden she's a golddigger? Miss me with the Janet slander and stop counting other folks' pockets
I guess that's the way love goes, but hopefully things won't get too Nasty
