Mashonda Responds to Alicia Keys

In the latest issue of Jet Magazine Alicia Keys maintains her stance that Swizz Beatz was a single man before they hooked up [click here if you missed that].

Welp, Swizz' ex-wife Mashonda begs to differ and calls Alicia Keys out for being a liar...

From Global Grind
What was your initial reaction when you caught wind of Alicia's JET Magazine interview?
"Not much surprises me anymore when it comes to this situation. I truly thought that everyone’s priority was the well being of the children involved. I don’t see the sense in throwing oil on a fire, it just takes us back to point A. The Jet interview just added insult to injury. I can’t figure out how this makes us better. How is it a positive, humanitarian gesture? But artists must protect their reputation and I get that."
In the interview Alicia Keys says "…[They] were apart for some time before we ever got together…that doesn't matter to those who take pleasure in trying to knock others down…there's no need to fight what's not true…" Did you feel like this was a indirect stab at your open letter?
"There have been many stabs and shots taken, thankfully they don’t bother me the way they used to. I’ve never lied about one thing involving the demise of my marriage. No, we were not “apart” or separated, and that’s just a fact that can be proven in many ways. Blessings have a way of disguising themselves. This situation has helped me to understand life and what really matters."
