Tasha Smith Ordered to Pay Ex-husband $7K a Month in Support

Actress Tasha Smith is headed to divorce court after just ‘5’ years of marriage.

A judge ordered the Why Did I Get Married star to pay her ex-husband, Keith Douglas, $7,000 a month in spousal support — that’s in addition to the $50,000 she was ordered to give him last year.

It’s too bad Tasha didn’t pay attention to the warning signs of Dopamine addiction. She could have saved herself the heartache and pain of watching her now ex-husband spend her hard earned cash on other men.

From gossip tabloid TMZ.com:

Actress Tasha Smith will think twice about getting hitched again — the now ex-husband she calls a glorified assistant just scored a fat settlement in their divorce.

According to the court docs … the “Why Did I Get Married?” star has been ordered to hand over nearly $7k/month in spousal support to Keith Douglas. That’s on top of the $50k she already shelled out to him in December.

As we previously reported … their rocky marriage took some crazy twists, including mutual restraining orders, and both saying they feared for their lives.

The settlement wasn’t a total loss for Tasha … Keith had to give back her Mercedes.

Oprah Winfrey’s Stepmother tells all in bombshell interview!!

Barbara Winfrey was married to Oprah Winfrey’s father, Vernon Winfrey for 14 years and after 14 years of marriage and Vernon cheating on Barbara with a known prostitute name “one tooth” the couple both filed for divorce. Unbeknownst to Barbara, Vernon complained to Oprah and Stedman how he was unhappy in his marriage.

Now Barbara is telling all in the media of how Oprah never like her; dealt with her from a distance, Oprah’s loveless relationship with Stedman Graham, her controlling and unhealthy friendship with best friend Gayle King and how Oprah’s brand is caring, giving and compassion, while she is privately; the complete opposite. Barbara states that all of Oprah’s relationships are secured with Confidentiality Agreements, based on Oprah’s terms of control.

Barbara’s gripe is, she’s now being evicted from the home she shared with Vernon Winfrey although Vernon moved out of the home before filing for divorce and Oprah’s name is on the deed to the home because it was gifted to Barbara and Oprah’s father after they married. The home Barbara shared with Vernon was purchased by Oprah’s Company, Overground Railroad LLC. So in all actuality, it was a gift in the meantime and as long as Barbara and Oprah’s father Vernon, remained husband and wife.

Oprah has since purchased another home for her father and has evicted Barbara (pictured here), giving her until May 29th to vacate the premises. Barbara is devastated because this was a home she thought was theirs.

It’s a real sob story on Barbara’s part however, Oprah is a business woman by right and a billionaire by design and I don’t blame her one bit for protecting every aspect of her relationships because where money is involved everyone has a motive.

These are his confessions…Usher tells Oprah all!!

The ReadyWriter

If Usher’s ex-wife Tamika was watching him on Oprah’s Next Chapter last night, I know some of his confessions to Oprah were a complete BLOW to her heart.

The fact that Usher admitted that he shouldn’t have married the already mother of three, heralds one big regret after the other but to admit he cheated on her towards the end of the marriage is just unreal. Usher had absolutely no respect for the sanctity of his union to Tamika, then again I’ve heard she had absolutely no sanctity for hers when she cheated on her husband with Usher; so what goes around truly comes back around.

One of the more shocking revelations from Usher and Tamika Raymond’s bitter child custody battle was that Usher slept with one of the bridesmaids from his and Tamika’s wedding.

Usher also claims that, pressure from the public pushed their marriage over the edge and Usher’s mother admits; if she had it to do over again she’d STILL boycott her son’s wedding.

This was a real mess and yet they both went on with the marriage anyway. As a result they are now tied to each other for life (like it or not), through the lives of their kids.

Usher was nowhere near ready to be somebody’s husband.

T.D Jakes’ Daughter, Sarah Henson Ending 4 Year Marriage

The ReadyWriter

The youngest daughter of mega church Pastor T.D. Jakes is divorcing her husband, former NFL football player Robert Henson after just 4 years of marriage. Sarah married Robert when she was only 19 years old. This was a really quick marriage. I remember their elaborate ceremony posted in “Jet magazine” back in 2008. Here we are, four-year later and they’re divorcing.

Henson (Jakes daughter), released the following statement regarding her divorce:

I have built my ministry and identity around being the best wife and a mother I can be. For quite sometime I have tried to steer through some serious troubles at home and as much as I wanted my marriage to last, it cannot.
 
After professional counseling, and prayerful consideration I have decided to end my four-year marriage. There are biblical grounds supporting this decision and I have attempted every other recourse but after multiple infractions over the course of the union, and for my personal safety and that of my children, I have come to this painful decision.
 
Now that it is made, I would ask for privacy while I navigate through this difficult season in my life so that I may now concentrate on being the best parent for my children possible.
 
Thank you for your prayers.
