The custody battle that Ludacris won over Tamika Fuller left her feeling angry, upset, and wanting to appeal the decision. Now we truly see the extent of her distress, as she pens an open letter about the experience that "almost destroyed" her, an extract of which reads as follows:
What kind of mother gets her child taken away from her? I only cut back on my work hours following my maternity leave to ensure that I had enough time to spend with my daughter during the first year of her life. However, it was this financial reasoning along with events that transpired 20 years ago in my teens that were the justifications used when issuing the decision."
Ludacris is now expecting another child with his partner, Eudoxie, and the Ludaversal rapper has much to look forward to. Tamika, on the other hand, must continue to struggle, which is made even worse by the fact she feels cheated, expressing as much in this paragraph of her letter: The retribution continued to roll in because apparently taking away my child wasn't enough of a punishment. I was then denied assistance with lawyer fees and told that her father needed to authorize the pictures I posted on my personal social media page." She continues to explain how unfair she feels the situation is for her in favor of her wealthy, Billboard-charting ex, by writing: As I apologized to my friends and family for not being able to share imagery of the evolution of my child, I scratched my head:
What does Instagram censoring have to do with disparate income levels? Subsequently, I now have no child, no First Amendment rights, and I’m in debt to the tune of six figures." You can read the full version of the open letter by clicking on this link, and it should be viewed by anyone with an interest in matters relating to what it means to be a parent and the way in which the law can favor certain people. You are warned, however, that the letter is moving to say the least, and at times more than distressing.
