"We All Know The Real Truth"
Tracey Edmonds came this close on Monday morning to giving the entire world the real story about Eddie Murphy and Johnny Gill. Tracey Edmonds is prohibited by a confidentiality agreement she signed from saying anything about her relationship with Eddie Murphy. Johnny Gill, who is under no such agreement has felt free to trash Tracey whenever he gets the chance.
In order to confuse the public, Johnny has basically offered up four reasons why Tracey and Eddie broke up, with the most prominent being that Eddie's mother did not like Tracey because Tracey was too greedy. Of course when Johnny refers to Eddie's mother he calls her "Mommy."
Meanwhile, Johnny also recently said that he isn't gay, gets hurt that people think he is gay and that he keeps a stable of women that he chooses from nightly. Uh huh. You can listen to Johnny almost start crying as he throws out all this crap.
So, this radio interview was the end for Tracey. In a statement she had her publicist release to the radio station, she says, "I was very shocked and disappointed to hear of Johnny Gill's false spin on the chain of events surrounding our wedding. His outrageous lies were clearly a very desperate and pathetic attempt to clean up his reputation at my expense. I would appreciate it if Mr. Gill would refrain from continuing to spread false gossip and lies to the public, and allow everyone involved to move on with their lives. We all know the real truth."
The very interesting thing here is that Tracey cannot say anything about her relationship with Eddie. If there was nothing going on between Eddie and Johnny, then all she would have to say is that nothing is going on. Instead she talks about him trying to clean up his reputation. She can't say much more because to say more would then involve details of her relationship with Eddie. If she said something like Johnny and Eddie sleep together every night then that would violate her agreement with Eddie. Now, I guess she could say that Johnny is gay and that in the strictest sense has nothing to do with Eddie, but in a way it does because then everyone assumes, so she really has to be careful about what she says to everyone while Johnny can go around saying whatever he wants.
I've mentioned this before, but after Andy Warhol died, somebody put together a book of letters to and from Andy and his friends. One of the friends wrote to Andy, and I'm paraphrasing: 'What I hate about Eddie Murphy is that we all have to pretend he's not gay'.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I can't remember the name of the book.
Ent, is it possible that her confidentiality agreement includes statements regarding Johnny?
ReplyDeleteA "stable of women"? Whatever, Johnny. I think we've pinpointed the "source" that was spilling the beans on the fight between Lilian and Tracey. I just wish Johnny and his nipple ring would head back to Eddie's pool house and keep quiet.
ReplyDeleteGreat, Sunny! I've never heard about that before. I have no doubt that Eddie is gay after the whole trannie incident.
ReplyDeleteWhy was there a need for a confidentiality agreement to begin with?
ReplyDeleteI used to love Eddie until I read where he will not have anything to do with SNL.
Why did that knucklehead sign a confidentiality agreement to begin with? For what, some crummy jewelry?
ReplyDelete*I* could have told her Gill would talk about her like a dog, and I don't even know these people. She's been around and in the business long enough to expect no honor from Murphy or his friends, and to arm herself accordingly.
Very sneaky way to legally get in her barb and stick up for herself. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to really like her. She should just spill the beans. It's not like she'll have to pay the damages out of her own pocket. It's Babyface's money anyway.
ReplyDeleteMaybe ENT can answer this for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens when one violates a confidentiality agreement?
Do you go to jail, get sued, etc?
You can get sued. For a lot of money. You're breaking a contract - a written agreement.
ReplyDeleteOkay, thanks TS
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I don't know much law (despite father and brother being lawyers), but I do know that one. (Thankfully, not through personal experience.)
ReplyDeleteGuys that like trannies are "straight" in the LBGT world. The tranny is considered a "she."
ReplyDeleteI was in rehab with this guy who was from Mississippi, from a locale that is overall racially segregated. He told me about a time that he was partying in a hotel (mostly white hotel guests) where Eddie Murphy was also staying. He said that he and some other white people were in the elevator about to go up, when Eddie Murphy rushed in and said "Hit four!" Well the others thought he said "Hit the floor!" which they all did. Apparently Eddie M. thought that the incident was hilarious and paid for everyone's hotel bill/ room service that was in that elevator.
