Panache Report


BLIND ITEM: (HORRIFIC ABUSE & THE DOWNLOW)
She has always lived her life through her famous husband (a hip-hop powerhouse) and she loudly boasted at parties to anyone within earshot, "I'm loving my rich lifestyle." She never introduces herself by name, instead she says, "I'm ______wife." She was seen all over Hollywood, shopping on Rodeo Drive and rolling in a variety of expensive cars. Whenever she went out with her girls, they dined at Mr. Chows and the Ivy. She always offered to pick up the tab. She was also a regular fixture on the party circuit, never far from her husband.
What a difference a few years make. Now, reports indicate that she is a battered woman living in fear of her husband. Although she still occupies their fabulous home, she is often secluded in the master bedroom, healing from yet another beatdown.
The violence has escalated within the last year and her husband continues to inflict pain on her.
Her females friends used to stop by the house to check on her, only to be turned away by her husband. She was probably in the bedroom, nursing black eyes and broken bones.
The few times she left, he always begged her to come back. He also promised that the beatings would never happen again. Within a few months, the unprovoked attacks would start all over again.
If this isn't scandalous enough. We're hearing persistent rumors that he also leads a double "DL" lifestyle. In the past, he has been the ringleader of a few downlow events that featured male go-go dancers and male escorts. Famous rappers were also in attendance and a few were overjoyed when the go-go boys gave them lap dances while others indulged ecstasy pills and cocaine, served in separate bowls.
Our abuser now has a preference for "white men" only. He prefers blonde hair-blue eyed model types and over the past year he has kept men in a rented Hollywood Hills home on a 24/7 basis.
In return, he pays their living expensive, including the rent on the house, their car note, credit card and cell phone bills.
He's known to relax with these men, often getting high before getting down to business.
His identity will probably be revealed in Terrance Dean's forthcoming book, "Hiding In Hip-Hop: On The Downlow In The Entertainment Industry From Music To Hollywood."
Hint: His stage name doesn't start with the letter "L."

well, whoever the asshole is, she's obviously so in love with the jet-setting lifestyle and having a high-profile husband that she's willing to put up with the beatings.

Dr. Dre?

But a good lawyer could set her up fine after this shit!

[baked_tater]

I hope it isnt snoop.

[RevellingInSane]

Dre?

[judejack]

I'll guess Dr. Dre as well. Rumors abound that he's on the DL and he has a history of abusing women.

[happy8]

why some women put up with that shit is beyond me. Sorry, but money isn't worth my life.

[mistify]

Dre.. hmm think his first blondie was Eminem?

[Just Kill Me]

I'm thinking Dre... if I had to guess... he's turned into such a gym queen.

Ha!

[sparkly]

I hope it's not Dr. Dre!

[jenni]

I immediately thought of Will Smith, but he's not really hip-hop. More like crap-hop.

Sounds like Ice-T and his wife Coco to me. He only takes her out so she can skank it up for the cameras and make a fool of herself while he watches in amusement. Don't get me wrong, she seems to enjoy parading around like she's his piece of property, so that leads me to believe this is about them.

[cherrypye]

I'm thinking Ice-T.
