Busta Hangs Ex Out to Dry Over Lesbian Lifestyle

Busta Rhymes appeared to win the four year custody battle he waged against his ex. A judge awarded Rhymes custody of the three children he fathered with his high school sweetheart, Joanne Wood.
The judge ruled in Rhymes favor, prompting Wood to claim she was a victim of prejudice. Wood argued the judge based his decision on his disdain of her lesbian lifestyle, not the pertinent facts of the case.
"It seems that this judge was dwelling on the fact that it was a woman with a woman, and that's what came out of this, and it seems to be very unique," said her lawyer, Rick Savitt, who did not represent her in this latest Family Court case.
The rapper portrayed his ex-love as a dreadful mother who neglected her kids. Rhymes also accused her of using drugs in front of the children. Wood claimed Rhymes is just upset that he lost his woman to another woman.
"His ego is definitely hurt. If he's being emotional, then let him just be emotional - that's like the bitch in him. If you want to be emotional, I don't have a problem with that," but "he's wearing his emotions on his sleeve."
"He can learn a lot from the 'man-bitch lesbians,' " she said, referring to a phrase he's used lately to describe her.
While court documents failed to mention the alleged drug use or neglect, the judge’s ruling noted an incident in which one of the children walked in on Wood and her female partner having sex. Wood’s attorney sarcastically pointed out, “Where else should they have sex?”
Wood hopes to appeal the judge’s decision.
"Honestly, the kids are the one that got hurt through this entire ordeal," she sighed.
Experts claim children are resilient and can eventually recover from the trauma of parental separation; however, Busta’s kids face a life-long struggle overcoming the names T'Ziah, Khi, and Trillian.
Rhymes and Wood back in the day.
