You know who Patti LaBelle is don’t you? Basically, she’s the woman who made Lady Marmalade in the ’70s. Yeah, the one that taught you the only French phrase you know outside of ‘bonjour’, ‘?a va bien’ and ‘j’ai douze ans’.
Well, it seems our Patti a maintenant des maladies mentales after she got accused of some very amusing things.
Basically, someone has accused her of screaming obscenities at a toddler and throwing a punch at the child’s mother in Manhattan. Isn’t that lovely?
Kevin and Roseanna Monk made the allegations about LaBelle’s fracas with their daughter Genevieve? in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
The Monks’ lawyer, Sam Davis, said Genevieve, then 18 months old, was scampering around the lobby of a Riverside Blvd. apartment building on the upper West Side in November when LaBelle, in full star regalia with oversize shades and a fur coat, started yelling.
“‘What are you doing letting your kid run around like that?'”
Then, allegedly, LaBelle started
“screaming at my client, throwing water from a bottle at the mother’s face and the baby’s face.”
When the mother asked if LaBelle was ‘happy that this is what you have done to this baby?!’, the soul singer thought it best to try and “take a swing” at the mother.
At this point, LaBelle was whisked away by her entourage and the baby violently threw up all over her mother.
