vaughn mitchell dick sucker all you do is suck dick and ride dicks om here, get a life negro who graduated from the first black college with nothing to show for lol, you can brag but cannot illustrate your measure of life, now get it none of my sisters need anything child support from any men to survive they have their own money, they are made, and their husband would only take care of their responsibilities if they divorced, not every one has to be thirsty hood rats like your mother and every females in your family, stop running your mouth and prove how bad you are you dumb n*****
@ Mr a****** , he would have whipped your ass. Pull out your gun ,and shoot him, not only would your sister hate your ass, because the 10 thousand a month would stop, but damn she might end up on Snap, to feed her child. So you talk s***, please face me in a ring on street, b****. He was wrong for what he did, but talking about you beating a professional boxers ass is a joke.
Wow hate to know what goes on behind closed doors. Lost respect for him, no longer a fan. Grabbing her by her throat in public and ushering her out was disrespectful. He's a time bomb waiting to explode go and get some professional counseling before its too late. Wow!

Dont worry she will defend him and tell every one how he loves her, and she loves him back, females with low self esteem belong to insecure bums

Well thats who you picked, who you chose, thats the choice you made, majority of those females are comfortable with those bums especially when he is giving her a few dollars more than the average men, they may complaint but thats what they like, i do not feel sorry any more, and those same b****** will give hell to a good men, he aint good enough unless he has liquid money and abusing her, that turns them own, i do not restore, any woman who has been an abusive relation or with an abusive partner if the p**** is good i f*** and go i will not make her my woman, i do not restore broken women, as soon as they heal they will give you hell, i have yet to see a man in peace if they end up with those females with low self esteem
He needs to be ashamed of himself. The other men around them are no better. I don't care what she did or said, no one deserves to be disrespected, especially publically. If he was brave enough to do something like that in public, what in the world is going on behind closed doors. I hope she gets the confidence, strength and love for herself to leave that relationship.
