Stupid Trashy People

What a horribly poor dramatization with awful actors.

Here is what happens when 3 stupid trashy people butt heads over selfishness after 2 of them unfortunately let their genes mix

the only one I feel sorry for is the child

an immature status-seeking young lady conducts herself like a slut instead of putting effort into building a decent life for herself

an arrogant egotistical self-centered pro basketball player takes advantage of her while he happens to be married to a woman who must find her high class lifestyle worth overlooking his repeat philandering

and BTW, the pill has a 100% effectiveness rate in theory, the 1% failure rate in practice is due to human error of not taking it exactly the right way all the time

the only value of this movie is to young ladies, please, please do NOT be so quick to enjoy a night with some pro-athlete just for the experience of it. please avoid intimacy with married men. and if you choose to have a child under such circumstances, you've also chosen the potential consequences that come along with it

it ended the way it would have been anyway if they had all just considered the best interest of the child

what a waste of courtroom time, aren't there more important cases than this?

Um, Kimberly WAS considering the best interest of the child. Wake up.

RE: >>Kimberly WAS considering the best interest of the child. Wake up.<<

Not when she did the media interview that angered the child's father into wanting full custody

and the amount of money she kept pushing for at that same time was ridiculously higher than what it would take to provide for that child to live comfortably and be well taken care of.

they all went full circle and came right back where they'd been and should have stayed in the first place had it not been for their own greed and selfishness

It seems to me that Kimberly was the ONLY person who had the child's best interest at heart. That freaking bum ass baby daddy wasn't studying that kid until he got hit with child support. And as far as trashing him in the press, all she did was told the truth about his triffling ass and he couldn't take it.

That lawsuit was completely BOGUS. His whole issue was the fact that he didn't want to pay child support....PERIOD. And his wife was even more triffling than he was. What woman worth her salt would actually be complicit in taking away another woman's kid for NO GOOD REASON? The wife's whole goal from the git go was to hurt the mother. She was pissed because her husband got this woman knocked up...so what better way of getting back at her than taking her the most precious thing in the world to her? Hell anybody could see through that.

Blue Edwards was paying around $4 grand a month in child support when little miss former slut deluxe turned golddigging queen kept dragging him back to court for more. you must have missed the scene where they sat in yet another legal meeting and he said "I'm tired of you treating this like your lottery ticket" -- that's exactly what she'd been doing and he'd had enough.

Don't get me wrong, I have no respect for him or his wife, who acted like because she was the wife they held all the cards. but if Kimberly hadn't kept pushing for more they would have been where they ended up anyway -- shared custody, which was her final decision

[–] yqueenp 14 years ago

Well, I have very little sympathy for Blue Edwards. He should have thought about what he would have to pay "miss former slut deluxe goldigging queen," before he dropped his boxers. Yes money was important to her...but it seemed to be a whole lot more important to HIM and his wife. The lawsuit as I said was bogus and without merit because Blue Edwards has NO relationship with the kid. Both Blue Edwards and his wife are both far more triffling than the Kimberly.

[–] mswoc 14 years ago

I don't have sympathy for any of them except the kid.

Before Blue Edwards "dropped his boxers" he believed miss slut was on the pill, she even admitted that. Beyond that he took no more risk than what any other man takes when he gets with a woman who says she's on birth control -- the fact that regardless, if she gets pregnant, the final decision will always be hers, it's fact of nature.

miss stupid slut's attorney had told her she was entitled to twice the amount she was getting and he could get it for her and they were following the normal procedures. she chose to take it to the press and the lawyer dumped her, putting it perfectly -- "you're a loose cannon"

all three adults (if they can be called that) are an equally pathetic mess, let's hope the kid turns out better

What woman worth her salt would actually be complicit in taking away another woman's kid for NO GOOD REASON?

In this case, the wife felt, as a Black woman, she would be a better mother to Noah than Nicole would & can teach him things & prepare him for life experiences that Nicole would never have to face in her life. But Nicole's lawyer was right: White people aren't the only ones who throw racially insensitive terms at mixed race people. Blacks are just as equally guilty of it as Whites are.

NOTE: I'm American & they used Nicole as the main character's name.

Blue Edwards' wife no more thought that crap than a man in the moon. She was just mimicking what Blue Edwards told her to say. As I stated before and no one has yet to offer an explanation: If Blue Edwards was really that concerned about his son's welfare in terms of which household would be best to rear him...WHY DID HE CUT ALL TIES WITH THE KID? Kimberly never stopped him from seeing the boy and if she did, he had all the resources in the world to gain visitation. As I said the whole trial was BOGUS from the git go. Blue Edwards was (probably still is) an adulterer and dirtbag. He was bitter and angry over the fact that he had to pay child support to this woman....PERIOD.

[–] mswoc 14 years ago

Kimberly is the stupid slut who wanted to be with Blue Edwards all the time knowing he was married. and how many others

Even though Kimberly was well on her way to getting the full maximum amount of child support Canadian law entitled her to, she chose to slam Blue Edwards in the press, that's what triggered the severity of the problems which led to the movie, that is why her lawyer dumped her

We already know Blue Edwards was an arrogant self-centered athlete from the beginning. If Kimberly wanted to be seen as virtuous she should have hung around truly sincere, genuine people all along.

The trial was BOGUS because after it was all over she gets full custody then calls him and says let's do it together

Excellent words. I agree. And, I'm glad he ultimately lost his bid.

I think his wife is not going to leave him because he is a rich sports star and because she wants the life style and is unlikely to get it from any one else. I also agree with certain statements about her wanting to hurt her husbands' "baby momma" but I further think she also wanted that yellow baby to be her baby.

Actually her daughters are medium brown they have their dad complexion.

Seems to me that NO ONE had that child's best interest at heart. Whether or not you think that he was wrong, she's equally wrong. The only people innocent in this situation are the boy AND the wife. I find it a shame that anyone would scorn the woman who's husband cheated on her over the 'other woman', who likely got pregnant on purpose and is now hitting up the man for more money than she deserves, who's using her son as a cash cow.

RIP 2009. Bad year for Celebrities. Now Haiti too

he pill does not have a 100% effectiveness...the manufactuers don't even make that claim.

that's why I said in THEORY because it's the normal/average PRACTICE of taking the pill that creates effectiveness for a claim. the likelihood of anyone taking the pill at exactly the same time every day is extremely low and that's what creates the % failure rate for the pill -- human tendencies in use. Check out how companies describe "perfect use" vs "typical use" -
"Percentage of women experiencing an unintended pregnancy during the first year of typical use and the first year of perfect use of contraception"
