Patti LaBelle Sued for Allegedly Cursing, Throwing Water at Baby

Actually an 18 month old does remember things, they just can’t communicate it very well. If something of that nature did happen it is very possible that a child that age would react in the way described.

That’s what happens when a celebrity gets the gnawing fear that she is aging and bound to lose her celebrity status. They project their frustration on everyone else. Maybe GLEE did not accept her offer to appear as a member of the regular cast! She could be meaner that Miss Beastie and she can prove it.

Okay, all you people who say that an 18 month old won’t remember this? This is a psychology student telling you, yes, the baby will. She’s old enough to remember things. She’s not an infant. She’s getting toward the toddler stage. She’ll not precisely know the reason why all the adults were yelling and getting upset, but she will remember that they were yelling and upset and that she got splashed with something that was cold and wet. She also remember how upset her parents were afterwards which contributes to her own feelings of unhappiness. A baby can remember things, people.

i personally think these people are trying to get some money. the mother is just angry because she probably wasn’t parenting correctly and was caught on it. That’s the crux of this case. she’s mad because she let one of her children wander off, someone caught her and put her in her place. she has the nerve to sue Patti LaBelle because she caught her being a bad mother. They are overreaching trying to convince people that Patti LaBelle is some kind of violent diva. This kindergarten teacher who is a mother…giving money to charity…she admits she told PLB to mind her own business…she obviously didn’t care about the whereabouts of her own child. In her own mind, she’s mother of the year and is incapable of making a mistake. Move along people…nothing to see here.

This story reports that a lawsuit has been filed against Patti LaBelle”s “allegded” behavoir and recants the couple’s Lawyer’s description of the incident. Claims it was reported to police but no arrests were made and makes no mention of an ongoing investigation or any witnesses whatsoever. I have no clue whatther Patti LaBelle is an out of control nut or not. Because that’s not what the story says…only fact that this story ever mentions is that a lawsuit was filed. I think the readers kind of need to back up and pay attention.

If a celebrity threw something other than a teddy bear to my child…damn right…I’d be mad. No matter what..I protect my child and if it means to sue that celebrity then so be it. It’s not about the money…it’s about being human!

First of all, the previous incident had to do with her bodyguards, and not her. I’m a huge Patti fan and have never read anything negative about her. Nobody’s perfect, but my guess is that the parent glossed over her own actions and provocations. I know I would tell a parent about their parenting skills too. I’m a parent and a high school teacher. When parents don’t correct their children, they arrive to my class and get a rude awakening called rules and expectations(imagine that). If Patti flew off the handle telling the lady to do a better job of parenting, then good for her!

“‘Do you know what your daughter is doing?’ kind of implying that she was a bad mother.” “My client responded as most people would,” he said. “‘Lady, mind your own business.’”

Hmm… it depends upon “what” the daughter was doing and I don’t think that “most” people would respond with; “lady, mind your own business.” That’s enough to get something started…

As the mother of two I can say that the kid probably was not that affected by the situation. That kind of reaction would be a bit ridiculous. Now with that said, if Patti LaBelle had done anything like that to my child I would be behind bars and Ms LaBelle would be in the hospital.

“The baby had a hard time with this,” he said. “She started not sleeping through the night. She had issues with loud noises and strangers.”
Ya right, as a father of 2 boys I can say an 18 month old remembers nothng at that age. This is a money grabbing ploy, nothing more. The mother was upset because she was challanged by LaBelle’s comment and she didn’t like it.

This story sounds so fake. An 18 month old is 1 and 1/2 years old. This child is not going to remember this incident at all. And then the mother says she is having trouble sleeping. Bullsh*t!
The Mother see’s dollars signs.

the story says that the proceeds of the case are going to a children’s charity. not mrs. monk. and regardless of the baby being able to remember what happened or not, no one should treat another person that way. it sounds like ms. la belle’s behavior was inappropriate and i personally am so tired of hearing about all the famous people who act and say whatever they want without ever dealing with the consequences. good for the monk family for calling her out.

I hope Ms. LaBelle wins. I am so sick of these ‘dumb’ women who would allow an 18 month old to wander around a hotel lobby when children are snatched and killed everyday in this country. I often wonder if they want the child dead or missing. This mother should be ashamed of herself. Maybe she smells money. Something is wrong in this country when children are not protected.

Hey, watch your mouth, talking about a legend like that! Who is calling someone a wildebeast?
Hey, if a parent is not watching her child, and someone asks them do you know what your child is doing? How in the hell is that wrong? Now, if someone threw water on that child, or parent, that is wrong. However, how do we know that any of that is correct? How do we know if anyone had water at all? If so, how do we know that the parent did not do this herself? She is full of s___! All she sees is dollar signs. She needs to get a life. If someone really did that, a police report would have been filed, authorities and media contacted. C’mon now, a lawsuit first, I mean really? How do we take you seriously?

So, can anyone please tell me of their fondest memory when they were 2 yers old? Come on people!!! If someone says to any responsible toddler parent “do you know what your child is doing” the proper reaction from said parent should first be of concern for their child. Definitely not “Lady mind your own business.” That would imply that if the child is messing with my things that it is my business. The question is, what was the child doing in the first place, other than not being watched by her parents, that caused concern. God forbid the child get kidnapped or something because not everyone is going to get your attention when it comes to your child. Some people see that as an opportunity to snatch them up. Then youll be on the news portraying the distraught parent syndrome. Cut it out.

“mind your business’ is an aggressive and beyatchy response if your kid is running around unsupervised and someone is rightfully calling you on it

Get yourself a New Attitude beyotch!! You go patti!!

um – saying that patti has been accused before is inaccurate. her bodyguards were accused. she is being sued because they work for her, not because she attacked anyone. also, the mother sounds like a big liar. get the lobby video. what a loser

Cassandra the only thing that you said that made any kind of sense was that there should be a video recording of the whole incident. The rest? Blank stare….

This law suit is ridiculous and a total waste of time for the courts. Had Patti apologized, it would be no lawsuit and all the “trauma” to this 18 month old wouldn’t even be a factor. Just proves that women a Black woman gets upset they are automatically labeled and depicted as a “Mad Black Woman.” This is a joke, out justice system has more important things to worry about than something as petty as this!

I don’t think the question Patti asked was offensive at all. If someone asked me that question I’d rush to locate my child. Sounds like the mom had a nasty attitude and since she admitted to saying that, I suspect that she left out some things to make herself appear totally blameless. Bottom line is there is always two sides to every story. I’m sorry that Patti cursed and threw water, so because she is a class act, I hope she apologizes for that. However, I just have to wonder why the heck did the mom think it was necessary to go after the car yelling at Patti. That is, IF SHE WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT HER UPSET BABY. Who gets to sue her for her contribution to drama that traumatized her kid?

No one knows the tone of neither one of these women voice during this conversation so you will never really understand the reason why this situation had to go as far as it did. As far as mistreating a human being Ms. LaBelle was wrong and whatever court actions taken, she deserves. Now making a statement on the 18 month olds memory, although she may might not remember this a year from now and it may not stick with her through her childhood and adult years she does remember now and that’s what ya’ll are failing to realize. The toddler is aware of what is going on around her and when something out of the ordinary happens to them it can have a temporary affect. Put yourself in a room with that kind of excitement and at a young age, even as an adult you will have some sort reaction to it and it will leave an impression. It’s not an every day event that is surrounding her so it can be mindfully disturbing. But in any case, whatever that child was doing Pattie had no business throwing water on that baby and that’s the bottom line.

Seems to me the reporting is a bit one sided. There are three sides to each story. The last side being the truth. We haven’t heard from Ms. LaBelle ,nor anyone who may have witnessed the altercation that took place. New York has become a very nasty place to live and people are careless and unappreciative, when they are given constructive criticism. I have know Ms. LaBelle for years. She is somewhat germaphobic and does not approach people unless there is a real need.
I have personally seen her around children, and can say she always has their best interest in mind when it comes to disciplined supervision. The fact that the reporter seems to trump the fact that the woman lived there for two years and Ms. Labelle was there short term, to me insinuates that she was not wanted in a place that is considered so high class. New York is loosing its clientele and residents behind incidents just as this. If you are going to report a story get facts and comments from both sides, and kill the false and snatch headlines. The reporter needs to find another job or go back to journalism school. Sounds yellow to me!

You people who are commenting on this incident as if you were all there. Believe None of what you hear…. is the start of a very famous quote by Benjamin Franklin. I first heard about this on youtube. this young man apparently has got to be the dumbest ass in captivity. How dear you speak on a matter or an incident as if your were present when it happened which would make you a primary source. Furthermore. as an educator myself I wish most parents would pay close attention to the children’s misconduct. and understand as a man or woman of a certain age and maturity, certain behaviors by children will not be tolerated. I was not present but to buy into what the media and all of these other no names are saying in regards to the allegations against Ms. Labelle, Is just Dumb!!. Remember people it takes a village to raise our children. As a parent myself where ever my child shows out is where he gets worked out. control your kids folks then grown folks wouldn’t have to interject when your rude ass kids are showing out. the rest of you how act as if you witness it first hand should get a life. Ms. Patti, Please remember opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one. Keep your head held high as always. I love and believe in you
CDE….. one is innocent until proven guilty.
