LaBelle’s 100G slap for shrieking at tot (Patti LaBelle - same old attitude)
NY Post ^ | September 5, 2012 | GEORGETT ROBERTS and BRUCE GOLDING

That was a costly temper tantrum.

Disco diva Patti LaBelle belted out a profane tirade against a pregnant mom and her little girl in the lobby of a Manhattan apartment building — and now, she has agreed to pay for it to the tune of $100,000, the plaintiff’s lawyer told The Post yesterday.

The Grammy-winning singer allegedly shouted the F-word, called mom Roseanna Monk a “c--t,” and drenched her with bottled water after complaining that Monk’s then-18-month-old daughter was playing near the lobby door of an Upper West Side apartment building where LaBelle was staying in 2010.

When Roseanna — by then cradling her tot, Genevieve, in her arms — accused the “Lady Marmalade” singer of making the girl hysterical, an enraged LaBelle then allegedly had to be held back by her entourage and hustled into a waiting car.

Beautiful mom and child. Bless them both/

As for the disco hasbeen, 100,000 wasn’t enough. This old racist should have got community service for traumatizing that child. She could clean toilets at the local jailhouse.

If I’m not mistaken her entourage beat up a West Point cadet at an airport. She should probably take a break from touring around the country speading her unique brand of has-been-ness.

My wife heard a story from a stewardess who had the misfortune to wait on Coretta Scott King. She asked CSK and question regarding her drink preference. Looking straight ahead and never making eye contact, CSK replied, “you will have to ask my assistant, I don’t speak to the help.”

Didn’t they toss that Cadet out of West Point?

You folks don’t understand Patti Labelle is a black celebrity and entitled to be treated as if that really means something.If she were not a Singer she would be just another SEIU worker cleaning toilets.But her voice gives her a “special” right to treat others like they are dirt under her feet.

She should go back to Decatur Street.

The “Upper West Side apartment building” happened to be the Trump Tower, so I think the mother (who is a kindergarten teacher) was pretty well off herself - she’s donating the settlement to a non-profit.

This makes it sound like Patti LaBelle was out slumming or humbly staying in a low-rent district, but she was doing her usual thing, which was bringing the slum and its ugly attitudes to wherever she is. She has the “don’t you know who I am” syndrome.

The Cadet was exonerated and allowed back in West Point after Point officials FINALLY looked at the security tape of the event. Sorry, I'm too lazy to look it up, but I think the guy came out alright...might even get a few bucks from the Queen of Soul Mold...or at least he was suing, I think.

She’s ugly in many ways but not so washed up that she cannot afford these lux UWS digs. I think she plays some of the Indian casinos

Freepers least favorite washed up soul singer? Patti LaBelle for sure. Had not heard about her for years, I thought she was dead until she had her low life entourage beat up that poor West Pointer.

What is wrong with LaBelle that she is so filled with hate? Is it drugs?
