The embarrassing messages between Kilpatrick and Christine Beatty from 2002 and 2003 appear in an 18-page document released Tuesday on the orders of Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Robert J. Colombo Jr. in response to a lawsuit by the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News.
The document was obtained from the computer of Michael Stefani, an attorney who represented three police officers in whistle-blowers' lawsuits against the city that were settled last year for $8.4 million. The text messages were taken from Beatty's city-issued pagers.The messages could prove damaging to Kilpatrick and Beatty, who are accused of lying under oath in one of the lawsuits by denying they had an intimate relationship. They are charged with perjury, misconduct and obstruction of justice. Both have denied wrongdoing.
The document released Tuesday includes descriptions of sexual trysts, the frequent use of the N-word by the mayor and Beatty as a term of endearment, and discussions of marriage.
On Sept. 15, 2002, Beatty described a sex act she wanted to perform on the mayor but said she didn't know how to approach him about it. He replied: "Next time, just tell me to sit down, shut up and do your thing!"
Later that month, the pair appeared to arrange a sexual encounter in Beatty's office. On Sept. 19, 2002, Beatty wrote to Kilpatrick: "I have wanted to hold you so badly all day, but I was trying to stay focused on work. So, I promise, not to keep you longer than 15 minutes."
Kilpatrick replied: "Don't promise (N-word.)"
Beatty said: "I'm in my office. Do you want me to come to yours or you coming to mine?"
Kilpatrick said: "I'm coming down there ... LOL ditto. Freaky Chris!" (Huff Post Apr. 28).
Carlissa- Even though Kwame committing adultery against his wife, cheating is not a crime. He is human and free to do whatever he want. The only reason that Kwame and Beatty was caught was because of the firing of a former Detroit police officer. You never hear in the news that someone went to jail because of cheating on there spouse so i honestly think that they took it over board. The media made a big deal out of nothing only cause of his occupation.

Very interesting story...
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a very good story to look into, ill make sure i do my research.
ReplyDeleteWell cheating is cheating. If you wanna cheat why get married, I mean yeah its not a crime but its wrong to do that to someone. Would you want to be married and get cheated on?? No! And yes they made it big because of his occupation, but wouldn't you want a man of his ranking to know what he does outside his office n if he really the man he portrays for his job. Think of that
ReplyDeleteSometimes people know how to mess a nice thing up for a quick piece of skin or tail. People should have more respect these days
ReplyDeleteYou've got to include citations in the article, i.e., (Detroit News, Sept 12, pg 1-A).
ReplyDeleteIndenting new paragraph is a good thing.
