I love Mary but FOH.
She been milking this divorce for two albums now.
Track is weak, too

Mans was her husband and her manager. So his income was based on hers.
Managers generally get 15-20% on the deals they make for their clients.
That's how they get paid. Pure commission incentivizes them to make lucrative deals on the artist's behalf.
So she was gonna have to pay that man in a divorce, regardless.
She made sure to shyt on him publicly and that has an effect on his professional rep.

Where did her money really go?

The constant message here is pay your taxes first if you're a celebrity. It seems you can fukk off on everything else except taxes. But nobody likes to pay them.

I really hope that when they were in court that this was his rebuttal to her claiming to be his lover and his secatary :pachaha:

Is Mary bullshytting? She didn’t have money to pay her rent? She doesn’t own multiple homes/assets? Sounds like a way for her to get her payments lowered but I find it hard to believe that someone of her stature and career doesn’t have a few million banked (5-6 million bare minimum). I guess it is possible though and the celebrity life really just smoke and mirrors.

Bruh nasty tho for what he doing :mjlol: women do it everyday and it’s the norm but it just seems crazy when men do shyt like this but it’s the law :francis: men gotta deal with this shyt everyday.
Mary J is a singer and a part time actress, who was biggest in the 90s and early 2000s. How much money would you realistically expect for her to have made, and then have kept?
