Ashanti’s mom first tried to ignore the “disgusting messages” on her phone and then she told the caller off, but the X-rated voice mails and photos kept pouring in. ”I would never, ever pick the phone up,” Tina Douglas, who manages her stunning daughter’s singing career, testified Thursday as the trial of Devar Hurd got under way. She said she could tell it was Hurd by the telltale 312 Chicago area code.

Maybe I am the only one who feels this way, but it was long overdue and it was about dayum time! Perhaps it’s because of me watching “Gotti’s Way” that made me not like Irv Gotti, but he just seems so arrogant and controlling. Back to Ashanti.
