LaLa: ‘I fully support my fiance’
Photo: Getty Images/TMZ
LaLa Vasquez, former MTV veejay and current baby mama of NBA star Carmelo Anthony, reached out to People magazine to set the record straight on Internet rumors that she refused to pick her man up after he was busted for drunk driving.
“I want to make sure the public understands that I fully support my fiancé, Carmelo Anthony, and stand by him through this ordeal,” Vazquez said in a statement to PEOPLE on Tuesday. “I will always have his back and never refused to pick him up from the police station. In fact, they offered to bring him to me.”
Then a sober Melo said: “LaLa continues to be a rock in my life, she’s always been there for me through thick and thin.”
For those of who who are reading this on Wednesday, the statement was posted on People.com last night around 8 PM. That was quick wasn’t it? 
I mean ole girl didn’t waste any time disputing the rumors before they got out of hand, lol.
Unfortunately for LaLa (and Melo), the word is already out. I guess the Denver police were lying too?
But wait, isn’t People magazine the same media outlet that twisted the truth just last week about another urban celebrity? Hmmm…

That’s right girl, support your man!!!
I think People Mag getd more credit for their credibility than they deserve. I just happened to be outside Beyonce and Jay-z’s wedding and they hounded me for days trying to get a story. I could have made anything up and they would have put it on their site.
Anyway… to Lala
So how does she explain that Carmelo was taken to a hotel and not to their shared home???
@ Irene where did you get the part that he was taken to a hotel? Wait … this is getting old already. The cat is out of the bag.
And the problem is? The police took him to a hotel. Not everyone has a paid personal/nanny in the house to pick up a person in jail. Their disappointment is for them to deal with. He was not caught with a tranny or a ho/prostitute. I will give a 23 year old a pass to learn.
I hope he does not let her down.
Umm okay Lala
@ Everyone
And the problem is that if you live in Denver, why were you sleeping in a hotel room to begin with? Apparently, Carmelo was taken to “his Denver hotel room at the Ritz Carlton.”
You can tell that her words are suggesting a sense of duty, more than affection… She supports him and has got his back. Kind of in a “after all, he is my baby daddy” kind of way. More drama to unfold… stay tuned
Maybe him staying out late is a regualr thing so he has the room set up … I was listening to the radio this morning and a great point was made. He is young so — this can be a one off for now. I guess.
which means i will continue to be a door mat and he can continue to hang out at all hours of the night drunk with other woman etc…and i’ll still stick by him…crazy!
People mag be lying all day
@ brownsugga4u - it is crazy but so many women deal and cope with it. Its all really sad.
I don’t see the big deal anymore. I just hope he learned his lesson about Drinking and Driving. It’s not cool!!!!!
Who gives a damn?!!!
Well I hope he will fully support you by marrying you soon.
When it comes too men with money women will support anything as long as there getting some duckets. How sad!!
Not sure what really happen but something is missing from the story.
I feel bad for La La because I know what it feels like to be so well taken care of that you actually settle for your man staying out to all hours of the morning night after night. I mean you fight about it (like not picking him up from the police station), but you don’t leave. It hurts and the bills being paid doesn’t make it feel any better. To make matters worse she has been forced to stand up for him to the press when she knows what he’s up to. Not to worry, she’ll get tired of it eventually and her piece of mind will be more important to her than the lifestyle Carmello’s money provides.

@@@@@it is really sad & what’s even more pathetic that it’s not just men with money anymore. the d*mn lames know now that women are desperate for a man so they to have jumped on the band wagon of treating us like sh*t if we let them@@@@@
Can someone please tell Lala to wake up…denial is not just a river in Egypt. I’m so tired of delusional women I don’t know what to do…its really sad.
Unlike Rocko, at least Mel acknowledges that LaLa is his rock . . .and his fiance . .and he just didn’t give a “shout out to his people”.
LA LA AIN’T WRONG - SHE’S DOING WHAT (SHE) FEELS IS BEST. DEPSITE WHAT OTHERS MAY FEEL OR THINK. EVERYONE HAS ISSUES AND PROBLEMS (SOME BIG, SOME SMALL). YOU CAN’T EXPECT HER TO JUST LEAVE. YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST TRY TO WORK IT OUT.
WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE AND SOME ARE STILL THERE… IN DENIAL.
SOME WAKE UP AND OTHERS STAY SLEEP!
I AGREE estyle4039………..
That baby is too cute.
Lala is smart. She’s waiting until he puts that ring on her finger then she is going to cut the fool on his ass. Watch. She knows what the hell she is doing. She had that baby, thinking that it will keep him. She didn’t pick his ass up to let him know that she ain’t bout to deal with that SH!t and she released a statement to “ack” as tho she “cared”. She sittin’ back lettin him get these shoe endorsements, while she takes up part-time gigs here and there to save up enough for a modest 6-bedroom home and a Mercedes mini-van. She knows how his young mind works. She’s a seasoned ho…oops I mean pro. Just wait, they will be married soon enough. Then she will be on the horn as Sandra put yellin’ “Half” or in this case I would say “75% no pre-nup B!tch”
Before Melo LaLa was on MTV, linked up with him and the rest is history…She will eventually learn, but until then she’ll deal with whatever he puts out. A man of his stature is gonna do what he wants to do and that is hang, chill drink and F*ck groupies…..He is bringing home the $$$$
LMAO @ 19. Cold.
yall need to quit lying to yourselves …Yall would fogive and support a millionaire who you have a child with .. please … most of yall had the backs of some knucklehead “thug” just cause he had you reaching for stuff that wasn’t there in the air with his “skills” … hahahahahaha

^^^having money does not beat out having happiness…^^^
Cute baby.
@brwnsugga4you…. I concur a man will only do what you allow him too. Money is not everything I would prefer that my husband continue to respect me because this is something you can’t buy and it comes from the heart. If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.
Some woman may feel get his money girl but let’s hope he does not give her something from all the cheating he is doing and will continue to do. The precedent has already been set I have you back no matter what boo. LOL
@Mz_Magnificent1… And the Nile river is long it goes from Egypt all the way to Africa. smh
I really don’t care about Lala and Melo’s situation; however, their son is so adorable…I just want to squeeze his cheeks..

I though Egypt was in Africa. Isn’t Africa a continent?
*thought
LMAO @ “the Nile river is long it goes from Egypt all the way to Africa.” Egypt IS in Africa. Maybe the “to” should be replaced with through. Nevertheless, the Nile officially begins in Uganda, but started at Lake Victoria in Tanzania.
And that little boy looks just like his Daddy–the only work Lala did in making that baby was pushing him out, that’s all Carmelo.

Just like Snooty and Brownsugga said, money ain everything to all women. There are still some women left on this earth who will work for theirs and provide for their family with or without the help of a man! Money doesn’t give you happiness….I can make my own damn money, so what if a n*gga has more of it….that won’t MAKE or BREAK me??!!!! I ain about to take that cheating aZZ sh*t, young aZZ sh*t, or whatever else excuse deez MF can come up with for ONE RED CENT OF SOMEBODY ELSE’s money!! What does that say for me, what type of woman am i to sit around living off someone else’s accomplishments….THERE IS A DIFFERENCE between WOMEN and SLOT MACHINES…ok! Women, GROWN women at that will work their hands to the bone to have their own sh*t….SLOT MACHINES…lay up, and get stuck, for a buck, and leave a n*gga looking strange, for a piece of change, got babies from 90’s R&B artist like Aaron Hall, Al B. Sure all the way to new millineum HUSTLAHS like PUFF DADDY….and don’t do a damn thing except get breast implants, butt implants, face lifts, lypo and botox…cause its the only way they know how to make a living.
@ Sandra she is more than an baby mama now, she is Melo’s
fiance’ and niether one of them has denied about it becoming man and wife its in the making not just walking claiming to be a “fiance”! Until the question is asked
about becoming ONE, then your just the babymama/babydaddy
but this is not your favorite couple who resides in the (ATL)so we know how you will do you HATE!!!!
okay ladies thanks for the correction it should say it goes all the way through Africa… geesh
@#37
LOL your welcome.
@Tangela and prynsexxx…. Did you not get the point? The Nile river is long and that it runs through Africa it is the longest river in the world. God forbid you type fast on this site and not proof read then the english police come out to issue you a citation.
Point is her denial is deep.
“The Nile River is the longest river in the world, stretching for 4,187 miles. The Nile flows from south to north and is formed by three major tributaries: the White Nile, the Blue Nile and the Atbara.”
@prynsexxx… Good to know that you have my back. LOL
@Krysi… Preach I concur.
I was raised to be independent not a dependent.
LOL– we got the point, the original statement just read funny (like Egypt was an island nation or something).
DID IT REALLY MATTER WHAT LALA SAID, IF SHE IS TELLING THE TRUTH, YOU ALL HAVE MADE UP YOUR MIND JUST THE SAME. I SAY UNLESS YOU ARE PERSIONALLY HAVING RELATIONS WITH CARMELO,OR KNOW LALA, YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING, NOR WHAT SHE PUTS UP WITH.
@SnootyPooty1
LOL I got the point the first time. I just wanted to be certain that Egypt was IN Africa and that Africa was a continent. That’s all. You’re right, God forbid the fast typist of the world b/c nobody caught my mistake in #38.
It should say “YOU’RE” welcome. LOL
That little boy is toooo cute, looking just like his daddy.
What a cute lil boy! Is that her hair??
