Last summer, Kilpatrick and Beatty testified in a police whistleblower lawsuit and denied any sexual or romantic ties in 2002-03.
Mike Stefani, a lawyer for the officers, asked Beatty if she and Kilpatrick were “either romantically or intimately involved with each other” during the period covered by the case.
“No,” she replied.
Stefani asked Kilpatrick if he was “romantically involved with Christine Beatty” in 2002-03.
“No,” he replied.
At another point in his testimony, Kilpatrick expressed anger about claims of an affair between him and Beatty.
“I think it was pretty demoralizing to her — you have to know her — but it’s demoralizing to me as well,” the mayor said. “My mother is a congresswoman. There have always been strong women around me. My aunt is a state legislator. I think it’s absurd to assert that every woman that works with a man is a whore.
“I think it’s disrespectful not just to Christine Beatty but to women who do a professional job that they do every single day. And it’s also disrespectful to their families as well.”
There have always been strong women around me.s/b "wrapped around me".
I think it's absurd to assert that every woman that works with a man is a whore.That'll be a great line when he records his rap album.

And it's also disrespectful to their families as well.Also, as well, what's his take on the disrespect he shows to his wife and Christine Beatty when he calls the latter a whore after he bangs her like a screen door?
