Lisa Wu Hartwell Wants Her Chil'rens Back!

Hmmm... now who didn't see this coming? I did!!! There is more drama with another star of the Bravo hit Real Housewives of Atlanta”. This time, co-star Lisa Wu Hartwell filed for primary custody of her two sons that she has with her ex-husband, singer Keith Sweat.

Last Thursday (Feb 19) she petitioned the court to get full custody of her sons. According to the court papers:
“The best interest of the minor children will be served by modifying the current custody and visitation provisions to make Mother the primary physical condition of the minor children. Since the time of the Divorce Decree, Mother has remarried, owns a successful business and will provide a stable, loving, and nurturing environment in which she can raise the minor children. Wu is seeking primary physical custody and joint legal custody with final decision-making on all issues regarding the minor children. She will reasonably engage Keith in good faith discussions before any final decisions are made concerning the children’s welfare.”

Ok... so let me get this straight... Keith was granted FULL CUSTODY before, and now, since Lisa is remarried, and is on t.v. (cuz we all know thats what this is about), she wants full custody? I pray that the judge sees right through this crap! I'm not saying that she doesn't want to have her children back full time, but c'mon. Did you petition the court for full custody before it was puclic knowledge that you didn't have them in your care primarily?

The reason that is being stated for Keith being granted the initial full custody is because the judge presiding over the case stated, the children lacked structure in their lives, due in substantial part to Mother’s numerous business ventures and frequent trips out of town. The judge stated Lisa has a history of spending money on herself excessively rather than providing for the children. There was also evidence of violence against Lisa by Keith though.

Her two sons–Jordan Sweat, age 14, and Justin Sweat, age 11–were given to Keith Sweat in a full custody battle 6 years ago. Lisa says she wants them back, but even though she has a successful business and has remarried, she still wants child support as well. Geeeeet the hell outta here Lisa!!!

ATL Real Housewives Lisa Wu Hartwell...

The Atlanta Journal Constitution has just put out these photos of the home of one of Bravo's newest t.v. sensations Lisa Wu Hartwell and her ex-NFL baller husband Ed Hartwell. The couple lives in a beautiful gated community in the Duluth, GA area along with their 17 month old son Ed Jr. The AJC touts Lisa as "arguably Atlanta's favorite housewife"... NOT! I like her and all, but she wasn't my favorite out of the ladies. I liked DeShawn because she wasn't mixed up in all that foolishness that kept on every show. And finally someone actually admits the truth about the show. Lisa says that she didn't know any of the ladies until they started filming! That's not what they acted like to me! Anyways, I like Lisa's house, but I'm wondering how they're still in it when they just filed for bankruptcy? Whatever!!!

Real Atlanta Housewives Star Lisa Blackwell Has Drama Outside Of The Show

Aside from being an Atlanta housewife, a painter, an aspiring actress, and the owner of a successful real estate firm, Lisa Wu Hartwell has also got some major drama going on in her personal life outside of the show, which I doubt we'll be seeing any of it on the show.

For those of you that won't watch the show or who don't know, Lisa's ex-husband is R&B singer Keith Sweat. Apparently, Lisa has been having some drama with Keith being a butt hole by not signing a waiver to have their two sons, Jordan-13, and Justin-11, on the show along with the one year old son that Lisa has with current husband, NFL hunk Ed Hartwell.

Lisa initially wanted all three of her children on the show, but when she went to Keith to have him sign the papers, he said, "It's nothing personal. I just really don't know how they're going to edit and if they're going to make you look crazy. I just don't want the kids to be, you know, overexposed or anything.' " I can understand where he's coming from with that. There are some things that you just don't want your children exposed to. And we all know how those producers sometimes twist what really happened versus what we actually see. You don't want your kids going to school and their friends mothers have watched the show and talked about it in front of their children and those kids go back to school telling all of their business. I know I wouldn't. But that's just me.

But Hartwell didn't buy what Keith was trying to sell her. "They asked their dad if could they be involved, and he said no," she says. "It could have been a Disney show and I don't think he would have signed it." On the show, they make it look like Lisa only has one child, which is the baby boy, E.J.

When asked why she wanted so bad for the cameras to follow her around 24/7, she simply stated, "It's business, baby. It was great exposure," Sooooo that means... well ya'll already know what I'm getting at. This chick was willing to put her kids out there to be "exposed" to this mess. Obviously, those boys are living with their dad for a reason. Keith knows something that we don't, but sure would like to find out!
