She never sounded so angry like this in her music! She's known for her long string of U.S. R&B and Dance chart hits spanning four decades (many of which I've recited below), including a personal favorite of mine ("Stir It Up") and other top hits like "New Attitude" and "Lady Marmalade." And, apparently, whatever you do: Don't let your little shit run around unattended if Miss Patti is around (allegedly)!A new lawsuit claims the whole freakish incident went down in an apartment lobby in the Upper West-Side of Manhattan in the Big Apple. A woman named Roseanna Monk says she put down her 18-month-old daughter Genevieve momentarily so that mama (a kindergarten teacher) could be "On My Own" and take some luggage out the building. And when the 67-year-old LaBelle happened into the lobby and spied the little tike scurrying around, all hell broke loose from there (allegedly)!
It's not at all clear what set LaBelle off, but maybe she was down in that lobby looking for "The Right Kind of Lover" and instead found a rotten little brat on the loose, who knows. Regardless, LaBelle first allegedly chastised mama openly, telling her: "What are doing letting your kid run around like that?"
That's when mama says she made the mistake of giving a bit of sass to the soul diva, responding to LaBelle: "I have no interest in what you say or think." (Mouthing off to one of these divas -- not bright -- mama should've known "Something Special's Gonna Happen Tonight" right there and then).Yep. Wrong thing to say to LaBelle, apparently, as the singer -- reportedly decked out in a giant fur coat and over-sized sunglasses -- allegedly started letting the obscenities fly, as she cursed up a storm and hurled a string of profanities in the direction of mama and little baby. "Oh People!"
Perhaps not feeling that her nasty message was getting through so well, LaBelle for good measure also allegedly yanked out a big water bottle and started spraying it right in the little tot's kisser! (No word whether also LaBelle crooned "(When) You've Been Blessed" during her alleged liquid lash-out).
And being that she's a showbiz gal, what great performance would be complete with a big encore? So LaBelle next allegedly took a damn swing at the mama, who just happens to be pregnant, BTW. Mama also alleges the whole ruckus made little Genevieve cry and puke right there on the spot, but that's not even the half of it...Mama says no way she could just "Kiss Away the Pain" this debacle caused to baby, as mama's lawsuit alleges the entire incident traumatized the baby so much that she "hasn't been the same since and suffers from personality changes, sleeping disorders and increased fear of strangers." But now the "Shoe Is on the Other Foot," as mama just wants her "(New) Day" in court.
Mama says she was prompted to sue LaBelle's water-chucking, fist-swinging ass (allegedly) when she read about an incident in Houston earlier this year in which LaBelle's entourage allegedly beat the hell out of a West Point cadet faster than the cadet could scream, "Yo Mister."
At any rate, these various events make me want to get a hold of LaBelle's itinerary so that I can see when the next fight's gonna break out. "Feels Like Another One" any day now, "If You Ask Me (To)." After all, I "Love, Need and Want" some action over here.
