Rumor Control: Monica Denies Keyshia Cole Rumor

Yesterday, celebrity blogger Miss Jia ran this item on her blog from a messy chick who supposedly knows a nurse at the Cleveland hospital where Keyshia Cole delivered her son.

Hello Miss Jia,

I love your site! Keep up the Excellent work! I am sending you this email because I have a question regarding a comment made by Keyshia Cole during her labor and delivery here in Cleveland, Ohio. Apparently she asked the hospital staff that no Black people be allowed to care for her or her baby during her stay at the hospital. A good friend of mines who works at the hospital stated that she apparently felt that Black people would take photos of her and/or her child so she specifically requested that Blacks not care for her.

Me being a nurse, I know that a request like that would not have been honored since hospital policy prohibits discrimination against patients or their staff based on race.

But just to be sure, I reached out to Keyshia’s BFF, R&B Diva Monica, to inquire if this was true. Here is Mo’s response via text message:

Oh…gosh…that sounds like some made up mess…she NEVER said anything like that to me and we were in constant communication while she was in labor. That story sounds soooooooo made up. Lol. I have NEVER heard her say anything like that.

I hope KC is paying Monica for being her PR

KC has come a long way. I can’t imagine her saying something like that, however, stranger sh*t has happened.

Too bad her PR team doesn’t work this hard for her. Shame. Because yet another rumor I’ve never heard of is being put to rest.

And when is KeyCo gonna start speaking for herself?

Is this Monica’s new gig? KeyCo’s publicist? this recession is tough

It’s not far fetched that she would have stated something to the effect (key phrase, far-fetched). BUT, how would Monica know? She wasn’t there.

Why is Monica always on damage control for Keyshia? Im gonna start thinking Mo is her babydaddy…
speakinmymind

if Monica worked as hard promoting her own album as she does at being KeyCo’s publicist, she’d be platinum by now!
Mother Jefferson

Yeah, she probably didnt say that but Im sure she probably made some other messy demands while she gave birth. Everybody know KC can be as hood as her mama.
nevesnanna

Sandra, I beg to differ with regard to hospital policy. When my teenage daughter gave birth to my granddaughter, I told them that I did not want nurses from a certain nationality assigned to my daughter, because I found them to be EXTREMELY rude and condescending to her throughout her ordeal. They acknowledged my request and even sent the hospital Administrator to my daughter’s room to take my complaint and apology. She personally made sure that my request was enforced and I didn’t have any problems after that.
iciaantica

With the right amount of money you can request anything or anyone you want…I wouldn’t put it pass Keyshia Cole tho

On the fence with this but if she did say that I bet you karma will have one a pic of her child on the internet real soon

*A good friend of mines*

what kind of simple-minded ish is that?
NEVER EVER take the word of somebody that says some mess like that and use them as a credible source!!! I mean the blogger did not even have the presence of mind to proof-read the ish before posting the remarks? That makes her and the “loyal reader” both look dumbashell!

I wonder if she really cut Neffie and Frankie out of her life, she must of because we know they would be snapping pics w/their camera phones, sold them to a mag, the mag would only buy the pics to stir up a family fued, they don’t care about the baby.
Man, I just don’t care™

I could see Jill Scott saying some chit like that.

Keyshia is not too bright and she would think she is being “high class” by not allowing black people to care for her baby.

I don’t believe it. And why are we just now hearing about this? If it were true, we would have heard about this during her labor, or when the baby was fresh outta the womb.

none of this really matters. info and pics have leaked from hospitals before. hipaa really cleaned it up but this doesn’t sound far-fetched or raciss. white folks aint checking for her but some black staff person trying to come-up, i could see it happening. however, i just don’t think it would be worth the $50 the pic would fetch.

all of a sudden J Records wants to promote Monica’s cd. There are commercials running during Wendy and other shows. WTF?
http://chokolatemilk.blogspot.com Choco

Okay so I will validate why this seems to be bull ish 1) after she had the baby you mean to tell me that even the nurses in the nursery had to be white??? And everyone who dealt with her and the baby for the 3 day stay were all white??? KeyKey look boo pic of the lil one will be seen regardless you may be better off just getting paid for those photo ops…

@Anna
If she did cut her family out of her life I hope one day she doesn’t regret as bad as family can be family is still blood/family

Sometimes it’s for the best and in KC case I think she is doing right, They are toxic. I know I’d give them the deuces and wouldn’t think anything of it. Family can be your worse enemy

Of course KC said it. This the same bish you cut off her family you think KC gives a flyin fluck

‘sounds like some made up mess’ But not a definite ‘No’

and evenif a nurse did take a pic and sell/post/share it, she would have lost her job – HIPPA B*tches!

I am so over Keysha – AIN’T NOBODY CHECKING FOR YOU LIKE THAT! Is she nutty – I mean, for real, does she really think people care?
ohpretty1

Neffe was on the radio and stated that KC didn’t cut them off but she was ‘doing her and taking care of her family’ but added they haven’t spoken since January of last year. WOW.

That’s true. I have the worse con artist in my family that it’s ridiculous. haha

Cosidering some poor trash whites with nothing at all would request that some black not touch them, I can see a black singer with a recording contract advance and a NBA boyfriend say the same thing.

Will fake hurt at a job, go to the doctor, fake the paperwork, get caught, and then SUE the company.
On every job someone is “picking” on her so she finds away to quit or leave and then try to sue
Uses her sons name and #SS when she gets pulled over by the cops(oh she’s a lesbo and looks like a dude)
you name it she’s done it. True con artist.

Sorry for the double post.
@QT what did Frankie say…crackhead.

Speaking of crackheads. haha. I watched Intervention last night and damn herion is a MF. I am so clueless when it comes to drugs because I’ve never dealt with it or anyone close to me. Besides the fact that they are addictive. HOmegirl called it her bestfriend.

hell that’s how I found out. He found out from the police. Long story though. If she could afford to be on drugs she would. LOL

Hello All. First of all, I think Keyshia Cole is one of the most talented female singers out there. I’ve never heard her live but recorded, her voice is beautiful and her style fresh. As for her request at the hospital, 50/50 chance it’s true or a variation thereof and like someone said, money talks. I may be wrong, but she seems to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and boy, is that hard, impossible unless you’re born this way. She has a good heart and she’s probably still taking care of her family, which I won’t even comment on except that there are millions and millions of black women just like Keysia’s momma. But you won’t find them on this board. There’s class up in this camp, and the humor, dead bodies lying all over the place, from laughting. I so truly enjoy the humor here. Peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Ms.Everything

@Free, HIPAA is not a powerful enough law to stop some of these hospital employees from releasing info. Hell at least once a month there is a story on someone elses info being leaked. Its a huge deal and the hospitals are being sued. Even with Octomom and the press from that. These tabloids are paying thousands for info on certain people and even if the star isn’t huge now they will still pay on the chance that the person may blow up. I have zero respect for the paparazzi and tabloid industry after living out here. They swarm the schools where the stars kids live, constantly causing accidents chasing folks, making it a hassle if you’re in a store and a celeb shows up. You have to see it to fully believe how crazy it is. And these hospital personnel don’t give a crap about HIPAA because depending on the celeb they will be paid enough to make up for the job they’re losing at least short term. Cedars Sinai had to install a computer system with different classifications and only those with a definite need to know has clearance to access the records of certain patients but even still that stuff gets leaked. I mean they even leaked photos of MJ dead on the stretcher. But how is she gonna request no black attendants in Cleveland of all places?

I say all that because prior to losing my job this year I worked in the medical industry for years in CA where most of the big leaks take place. The tabloids have people at every major hospital, in the police departments, coroners office everywhere and those people are making good money to where they could care less about losing their job til it happens and depending on the type of leak its hard to immediately pinpoint the source
BayArea

I think she made the request, maybe not in those exact words, but you know what’s up. She did not want any messy black folks patronizing her or her baby!

I do not believe this story at all. Nope.
BellaBarbie

As much as I love KC and loves loves loves Mo…this sounds very much like something only KC would say…I pray she didn’t say it. Plus who really cares…it’s not like if someone did take a picture of the new little bundle of joy a media source would actually buy it. The blogs would pick it up other than that a picture of her baby WOULD NOT make CNN or any other headline news. I wish KCole and her new family all the best…despite this rumor or truth. That is ALL.
pointhimout

monica, SIT DOWN. unless you were there you simply dont know. I actually dont find it offensive at all. I too would say the same thing and have the same belief, because guess what, IT’S TRUE.

black people, especially young blacks, know who keyshia cole is. This is an old rule of thumb for “urban” celebrities. why do you think they live in all white communities when there are equally nice homes in gated communities in black neighborhoods? in white areas, they will not be harrassed or bothered 24/7 cuz those neighbors simply dont care that superstar singer’s my neighbor. they just dont. Black people…..we gone stroll by, might ring the bell, we goin in groupie style.

so im nowhere near offended if she did say it. I just want monica to play to role of r/b songstress and leave the role of PR to those appointed to do so. Why is she commenting on stuff about keyshia that even keyshia aint commenting on?

______________________________________________________________
I’m not html savvy, so i have to copy and paste. Please Sandra. If you make a specific requests to your Dr, they’ll honor it. are they supposed to –is what you’re speaking of. if a high profile person asks for something specific, they’re going to get it. People, it’s high time yall face that rules are for common people still in the 5 figure, low six (barely over 100k) brackets. That stuff is written on paper and SR knows it. It means nothing when you’re dealing person to person. What I’m supposed to do and will do are two different things.
Krysi J

Even if she did do it, hell we know she ain racist…..and what white person would value here picture, or know the value of it??

She’s right only black people would want her picture because outside of our race she is irrelevant….so if she did request the shyt, that her business.

TRUST ME….give a few weeks of investigation and they’ll remember. JHACO all up and thru there right now.
Kitrina

Keyshia is not as famous as she thinks she is, unless the nurses staff a bunch of 15 year old ghetto girls she has should no worries. I bet those nurses don’t even know who she is
lala

I believe she said it. folks know somebody would take pictures of the baby and try to get a few dollars from it. Some White folks wouldnt know or care about who she is.. But some blacks might. I think its true. Maybe not worded that specifically but I can see her asking to be made aware of ANYONE at the hospital that may have contact with her child. And if she doesnt approve of them she has ever right to request ceratin people or to leave the hospital.

If Monica did hear her say it would she really tell you? If that’s really her friend, probably not as it is a very unflattering comment to have attached to you!
