On The Cosby Show, “Rudy” was just the little cutie patootie with the head full of hair and adorable cheeks. In real life though, actress, Keshia Knight-Pulliam (40), is a woman who speaks her mind and is protective of her daughter, Ella Grace Hartwell, at ALL times.

For one of her fans, that was the ‘lesson of the day,’ when Keshia tossed that ‘good girl Rudy’ persona to the side to deliver a virtual chin-check to said fan on Thursday (April 18, 2019). Why, you ask?

It started with the above photo, which the former Cosby star captioned, “Just running around doing Mom ish… ❤️”

Then the fan had the nerve to leave this comment about Ella Grace’s beautiful natural hair: “Do you daughter hair your shot done to a T.”

To which Keshia replied: “My daughter is off limits…I don’t play that sh*t. Her hair is beautiful, healthy, natural & exactly how she wants to wear it.

I gotta give it to Pulliam-Knight, that was the perfect clap-back to such an ignant, indignant statement. Meanwhile back at the ranch…

Keshia’s Daughter Is Getting SO Big & Givin’ Us Camera-Ready Vibes Already>>>

The post Keshia Knight-Pulliam Verbally Chin-Checks Fan For Insulting Her Adorable Daughter appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

We were all kinda excited when our American Princes, Keisha Knight Pulliam got married and had a beautiful baby girl. But the love bombing phase of their whirlwind relationship came and went so fast, most people nearly missed the time they were actually together.

The relationship between Ed Hartwell and Keisha Knight was filled with ongoing drama – almost immediately. Well, they are still going thru it! It’s safe to say the bad has definitely outweighed the good. The two or three months they were together is nothin’ compared to the years-long child support and custody battle they are embroiled in now.

A Win for Keshia Knight-Pulliam

In a continuous custody battle with her ex-husband Ed Hartwell, Keshia Knight-Pulliam scored a victory in a Georgia court when the judge denied Hartwell’s attempt for a new custody trial.

The Judge Takes Keshia’s Side

During the trial, the judge did not seem to be convinced by any of Hartwell’s claims or arguments against his ex-wife. Hartwell felt the judge was unfair and made multiple errors during last year’s custody trial by awarding Keshia as the primary parent and having sole custody of their daughter.

Hartwell expressed his dislike for Pulliam taking their daughter out of town during his scheduled visitation and shared that he was denied visitation on other occasions. The judge ultimately decided with Pulliam and allows her to keep primary custody.

Hartwell demanded another trial and believes that he deserves joint custody.

Keshia Knight Pulliam is finally giving her fans what they’ve been wanting for over a year now- a shot of her precious daughter’s face. Throughout Keshia’s entire pregnancy with now 1 year-old daughter – Ella Grace – her fans have watched as she and ex-husband, Ed Hartwell, battled each other in a very lengthy, bitter divorce war. The only beautiful moment to come out during the midst of their ongoing drama, was their lil’ girl.

Fans Were Fed Up With The Secrecy

As an avid social media user, Keshia has been repeatedly showing numerous shots of Ella’s feet, back, and the back of her head (like the pic above) for over a year. Fans were beginning to voice their frustration and some were even suggesting that Keshia not show Ella at all anymore, until she was ready to show her face.

Of course, we all get it…it’s Keshia’s right to keep her baby top secret from the world. However, it’s also understandable why her fans, who have cheered her on every step of the way throughout her very public and stressful pregnancy, wanted to also bear witness to the beautiful creation that is Ella Grace. Well, lo and behold…here’s your chance…

Forever A Mystery Baby…Not Anymore

Little Ella was starting to seem like she’d be a mystery baby forever, but that is NOT the case as of today! Keshia decided to finally take to Instagram with a recent shot of Ella’s face, check out her and Ed’s mini-me:

Knight Stands Up For Former Cosby Show Co-Star Geoffrey Owens

In addition to showing her baby for the first time ever, Keshia is also steppin’ up in defense of her former “Cosby Show” co-star, Geoffrey Owens. Unless you’ve been hibernating in a cave, you know he was insensitively job-shamed by some folks – for working at Trader Joe’s grocery store.

In her online message, she not only defended Geoffrey as a “humble, hardworking” brotha; she also included a screenshot of an online comment that pointed out the financial hit ALL of the former “Cosby” stars have taken. Why? Because Bill Cosby’s latest sex assault scandal has caused the long-running syndicated sitcom to be snatched off television in most (if not all) markets, resulting in a sudden halt of the stars’ healthy residual checks. Peep what Keshia said about this and be sure to swipe left on her IG post below:

K. Pulliam: “Nothing but love & respect… #Family. Your worth as a person is not dictated by the size of your bank account or the job that you hold!! This is a talented, educated, humble, hardworking man who deserves all of the blessings this crazy situation will result in. Take notes… life happens to ALL of us. The measure of a person is how they move through adversity and emerge on the other side. #Integrity #Character #Humility”

Fan Mode With Janet

There’s always reason to relax and unwind, even for single mommies of 1 year old toddlers. Keshia made sure she did just that, when she went to Janet Jackson’s concert and got her dance on. After the show, she went into straight fan mode, understandably so, when she linked up with Janet backstage and posed for a quick photo with the R&B legend.

On a side note, is it just me, or does it seem like Janet is only getting better with time? Out here lookin’ like a dessert, snack and your favorite home cooked meal at the SAME damn time. Go ‘head Janet Damita Jo Jackson!

The post For 1st Time Ever, Keshia Knight Pulliam Shows Daughter’s Face & Fans Fall In Love appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Well, well, well, former NFL player, Ed Hartwell, moves pretty fast. Not quite sure if the ink is dry on his and Keshia Knight-Pulliam’s divorce papers, but the brotha wastes zero time when it comes to his love life, nor having babies.

Keshia and Ed finalized their divorce in April 2018, after a nearly 2 year tumultuous battle over custody of their 1 year old daughter, Ella Grace; paternity, and divorce issues. That was a time period that neither one of them enjoyed, to say the least. But now it seems that Ed has found a new love and she is VERY pregnant.

Meet His New Lady

Ed’s new lady’s name is Tonya Carroll and she recently flooded social media with many happy photos of her baby bump. Unlike his prior union with Keshia, Ed is actually in a happy relationship with Tonya, during her pregnancy and they seem to be very in love. Check out her posts below…

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bhzg1srD0DA/

https://www.instagram.com/p/BkIFKr8DElz/

As most of us know by now, both Keshia and Ed were hurling major allegations at each other throughout their marriage and quite frankly, both of them seemed at fault in one way or another. By the time little Ella was born, things were so bad between them that Ed was not present for her birth, nor did Keshia or anyone else from her family inform him she was going into labor. Fast forward to today and Ed is fighting against the primary custody that Keshia was recently awarded in their divorce finalization. He’s asking the judge to grant him more than the couple of visit days he gets each week with Ella. As far as we know, that request is still pending.
>h2>Fans’ Reactions

All of that marriage prior drama did not go unnoticed by many “Rudy Huxtable” fans, after Tonya shared their lovey dovey baby-on-the-way photos online. Many fans are now flocking to Tonya’s page to give Ed a piece of their mind and apparently send a warning to Tonya that he may leave her, just like he left Keshia. The comments were so lit, that even Ed’s cousin, @audr*******, jumped in to defend him…

**

Word on the Old School curb is that this love thing between Ed and Tonya is not new. Reportedly he’s loved and known her longer than his months-long marriage to Keshia actually lasted. It’s rumored that the two were together prior to him dating and marrying Keshia, but later reconciled once he and Keshia split. So, in actuality, maybe there is real love there and they won’t end up making any hasty decisions to separate.

Besides, after Ed and Keshia suddenly became engaged, then got married the very next day in 2015, I think they both have probably learned a valuable lesson in moving too fast in a relationship: Don’t.

Meanwhile Back At The Ranch: Keshia Shows Baby & Raps About Ed

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Keshia Knight Pulliam is partaking in several firsts in her life. For starters, for the first time ever, she’s finally shown her baby, Ella Grace’s, face. Although she showed a throwback newborn pic of her toddler, fans were simply happy she at least showed them something. Check out her post below…

https://www.instagram.com/p/BiuKbdJgNH-/

Another first for Keshia, is that she’s rapping on a song with her brother. Guess what she rapped about though? Ed Hartwell! Her brother shared a snippet of the song on Instagram and in Keyshia’s verse she said: “My baby daddy hit the switch up, I knew I should’ve got a prenup.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/BkDTekHFd8b/

For those babies’ sakes, hopefully Ed and Keshia will find a peaceful way to allow the soon to be siblings to form a beautiful bond…even if the babies’ parents can’t stand each other.

Why He’s Taking Pulliam Back To Court

Ed Hartwell has just filed legal documents, requesting that he be granted a new custody hearing. He’s also seeking lower child support payments. Hartwell says he should be granted a new trial to increase his visitation with his daughter, because according to him, Keshia Pulliam told a crazy amount of lies during their last trial.

He’s accusing Keshia of setting him up, which he says helped her when her case. In April 2018, Keshia was awarded primary custody of Ella Grace and Ed was granted one day per week to see their baby. He was also ordered to pay $3,007 a month in child support and ordered to refrain from taking the prescription pain med, Oxycodone, or his anti-depressants while driving with their daughter.

According to court docs, Keshia previously told the judge Ed missed several designated visitation days with Ella Grace. However, in new court docs, Ed says Keshia deliberately took their baby out of town on several of his designated visitation days, then turned around and reported them as missed days to the court. To further prove his point, Ed noted Keshia’s June 2017 trip to support Bill Cosby during his sex assault trial. He claims Keshia took Ella Grace on that Cosby trip, even though she knew it fell on his designated visitation day. He also claims she pulled other tricks outta her hat to block him from seeing his daughter:

Via The Blast: According to Hartwell, Pulliam denied him visitation on several other occasions, including eight weeks for the filming of a reality show (“Celebrity Big Brother”). Hartwell claims Pulliam would arbitrarily change the visitation location and made it difficult as possible for him to see his kid.

Ed Hartwell also rejected Keshia’s claims about his prescription drug use. While it’s very common for retired NFL players to have to take some forms of prescription medications due to their physical damage from playing the sport, part of the reason his visitation was limited, was reportedly because of drug claims made in court:

In regard to [Ed Hartwell’s] medications, he says there is no evidence to prove the medicine he takes affects his decision-making skills. He says nothing presented during the trial showed his medication has ever negatively impacted his ability to parent or to lead a responsible, productive life. -via The Blast

Hartwell says that despite Keshia’s attempt to paint him as a reckless father, he had several witnesses who testified otherwise during their first trial. Even his ex-wife, former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, Lisa Wu, supplied an affidavit on Ed’s behalf, stating that he’s an excellent father to their son.

Ed claims Keshia lied about her monthly income to get more in child support as well. She says she earns $8,765, but according to Ed, Pulliam actually earns approximately $20k a month.

Overall, Hartwell feels that the judge largely overlooked Pulliam’s alleged trickery and now he’s requested a new trial. *Sigh* and the saga continues.

And Another One…

Ed Hartwell made such a fuss about Keshia Knight-Pulliam’s pregnancy and even questioned whether the child was his. Now, his mistress, Tonya Carroll, has let the cat out of the bag about their new little addition. A few days ago, Carroll took to Instagram with a couple photos that turned quite a few heads. In one photo, she was captured holding her baby bump. She captioned the photo, “Thanking God for a little sunshine while obeying Dr’s order of bed rest!! #trulyblessed #anotherchapter.”

Then, she shared another photo of her and Ed posing a question about their baby’s gender. Check out her posts.

Dragged To Hell::

Meanwhile, somewhere else in Atlanta, Keshia Knight-Pulliam has sole custody of this daughter, Bella. For those who don’t know, the estranged pair have been embroiled in a heated custody battle because Ed has reportedly failed to make child support payments. Then, to make matters worse, Ed has been described by many media outlets as a “deadbeat father,” only making approximately 20 out of 80 of the scheduled visits he’s had to see his daughter. According to The YBF, Ed is allegedly trying to figure out a “way not to pay” child support.

Since many fans are very much aware of the details and how Ed has acted toward his daughter with Keshia, many of the child actress’ fans have been draggin’ Ed and Tonya on social media. While many fans have blasted Ed for not handlin’ business where his daughter is concerned, others are reminding Tonya of the possibility of karma. In other words, if Ed isn’t taking care of his daughter with Keshia, what makes Tonya think he’ll be the father he should be to their child. “Rebound or not, right is right and wrong is wrong,” another fan wrote. “He shouldn’t have moved on, misleading Keisha. Keisha didn’t force him to marry her. How can we as grown adults say a husband was “trapped” by his wife to get pregnant. It takes two!”

“What goes around will come back. How many women is he going to get pregnant? Everyone he has a relationship with. Wow,” another fan wrote.

Done Deal:

Despite all of the drama, Keshia has one thing to be happy about. The latest news comes just days after it was confirmed that Keshia and Ed’s divorce was finalized. According to TMZ, Keshia Knight-Pulliam has won the custody battle against Ed Hartwell.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bfo-MKfgvie

While she does have primary custody of their daughter, Ed does have visitation. However, she did manage to hit his pocket. It has been reported that he has been ordered to pay $3,007 a month in child support. So, it doesn’t look like he’ll be getting off the hook anytime soon. With a total of four children, including Tonya’s oldest daughter, Ed is definitely going to have his hands full where finances are concerned. Hopefully, he steps up to the plate. Congratulations and best of luck to Keshia Knight-Pulliam.

The post After Giving Keshia Pulliam Drama Over Their Daughter, Estranged Hubby’s Expecting Another Child appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

The beautiful light amidst all their drama, is that Ella Grace turned 1 year old on Thursday (1/18/18) and the former Cosby Show princess couldn’t be more happy. Pretty sure Ed is happy about this too, but we have no visual evidence of that. Anywho, as Ed continues to fly under the radar, his estranged wife is cheesin’ it up for the camera, in celebration of their baby’s b-day.

Keshia Wishes Ella Grace Happy Birthday!

On Thursday, Keshia took to social media to share yet another photo of the back of Ella Grace’s head. From what we can tell, Ella is as adorable as ever. The only problem for many fans, is that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ‘Ooh and ahhh’ over Keshia’s mini-me, without actually seeing her.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BeGJ5gvAEjW/

Fans Wanna See Baby Ella

As an avid social media user, Keshia has been showing numerous shots of Ella’s feet, back, and the back of her head for a full year. Now, fans are beginning to voice their frustration and some are even suggesting that Keshia not show Ella at all anymore, until she’s ready to show her face.

Of course, we all get it…it’s Keshia’s right to keep her baby top secret from the world, but it’s also understandable why her fans, who have cheered her on every step of the way throughout her very public and stressful pregnancy, want to also bear witness to the beautiful creation that is Ella Grace.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BdY-B2ag0ZR/

Are the fans being a tad selfish and/or intrusive? Maybe, maybe not…depends on who you ask. However, in the world of social media, if celebrities choose to share so much of their lives and struggles with the world, as Keshia and Ed have done regarding baby Ella, then there’s is also an expectation for them to go all the way, or not at all.

Happy birthday Ella Grace!!! Can’t wait to see you!

The post Already? Keshia K.Pulliam Celebrates Daughter’s 1 Yr Birthday But Some Fans Are Frustrated appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Via ABC News: The former child star surprised family and friends who “had no clue they were coming to a wedding. They thought they were coming to a New Year’s party,” [Pulliam-Knight] said. Hartwell, who joined her on the podcast, said of his special day, “Both [of] our dreams came true that day. We have an amazing time together.”

By July 17, 2016, Keshia announced she was pregnant with their daughter, Ella Grace. On July 26, Ed filed for divorce, ultimately claiming that she trapped him and questioned if the baby was his. On January 23, 2017, Keshia gave birth to Ella Grace, without telling Ed. Ed was pissed, then they later took a paternity test that proved Ella is his. He vowed to be in his daughter’s life, Keshia has him on child support, and as they go through their bitter divorce battle, here’s where they are now…

The Latest Unfortunate Drama, Ed’s New Legal Claim

It’s just been reported that Ed has filed new legal claims against Keshia, for keeping their baby girl away from him. He has court appointed visitation rights and he wants his wifey locked up for disregarding those rights. Here are the details:

Via The Blast: Ex-NFL star Ed Hartwell filed docs in their ongoing divorce battle accusing the actress of contempt of court, claiming Pulliam terminated a recent agreed upon visitation without a reasonable explanation. Hartwell says Pulliam’s actions are “Not only self-centered and uncaring,” but he claims they violate the agreed upon custody order and she should be held in contempt.

Keshia Claps Back

Throughout their divorce drama, Keshia has proven that she’s never one to back down from Ed’s claims. So it was well expected that she would respond to his latest allegations with the quickness and here it is:

The former “Cosby Show” star fired back, calling his accusation “Yet another fabricated and falsified motion for contempt.” She says she has never done anything self-centered or uncaring as it pertains to his rights as a father. She says Hartwell has only exercised a one-hour visitation with their kid twice in September, and missed most of his scheduled visits in August. She says he also missed all of his visits in July and claims he is still in contempt for his child support obligation. Pulliam says Hartwell is making the accusations to mislead the court and says he is the one who should be sanctioned. -via The Blast

And there ya’ have it ILOSM family, the latest episode of the Pulliam vs. Hartwell soap opera. At least their daughter is adorably happy and healthy though…that’s what’s most important in all of this.

The post Ed Hartwell Files New Legal Claim To Have Wife Keshia Knight-Pulliam Jailed, See Why… appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

According to TMZ, Keshia has filed court documents demanding that child support is taken directly from Ed’s NFL pension. The former NFL player’s pension reportedly consists of his NFL retirement and/or disability money and Keshia is looking to collect.

Tired Of the Games:

The former Cosby Show star claims there have been months where Ed has paid late, or not at all. She also explained how her professional life has been affected due to Ed’s presumed lack of regard for her obligations. He has reportedly taken his forever and a day to sign release forms for her to take their daughter out of the country.

Keshia claims she’s had to pass on acting jobs because of his failure to comply. Needless to say, she is apparently tired of playing with Ed and once again, she’s asking that the judge put him behind bars until he coughs up the cash.

The Ongoing Drama:

The latest on Keshia and Ed’s drama follows months of turmoil surrounding their infant daughter. By now, everybody probably knows about the ongoing feud between Keshia and her estranged ex-husband, Ed Hartwell. Although it initially seemed Keshia had found love with the former NFL player, their honeymoon was short-lived. In a matter of months, their love affair was over and Ed was denying that the baby Keshia was carrying was his child.

In fact, back in February Ed finally accepted their child is his after the DNA results proved it. However he attempted to delay child support payments until the courts decided what the amount would be. His attempt to delay the payments only raises more speculation about Keshia’s latest court filing. Is Ed strapped for cash? Unfortunately, it seems that way, but Keshia could obviously care less. It’s probably safe to say these two will be battling it out for quite some time.

The post Keshia Knight Pulliam Is Still Dragging Ed Hartwell..Here’s What She Wants Now appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

The only difference between the new doc’s claims versus Keshia’s past ones, is that it isn’t Ed whom the dangerous and/or murderous finger is being pointed at, it’s his ‘girlfriend,’ Tonya Carroll, instead…

By the way, if that ‘girlfriend’ term just caught you off guard- being that Ed is still married (but separated) and all- then you probably missed our prior report on his reported girlfriend, so you can check that out here. Moving on…

In addition to the ‘girlfriend’ now being implemented, by way of testimony of her alleged friend, Damia Ward-Henley, whom Keshia reportedly included in her new court docs. Keshia also added a new claim of her own about Ed and prescription drug abuse in her fight to deny him joint custody of Ella Grace. See what’s being reported below:

Via TMZ: A friend of Keshia Knight Pulliam’s estranged husband says Ed Hartwell’s girlfriend made an ominous request about something to “cause a miscarriage” during Keshia’s pregnancy. The friend, Damia Ward-Henley, made the revelation in new court docs filed by Keshia in her divorce case. Damia describes herself as a friend of Ed and Tonya Carroll … who she says Ed started dating while he was still married to Keshia. According to the docs, Damia says Tonya found out Keshia was pregnant in June 2016, and was very upset because she wanted Ed to leave Keshia.

In the docs, Damia says Tonya told her “she wanted to get something that would cause someone to have a miscarriage.” Damia says she shot down the request and told Tonya and Ed to break off their adulterous relationship.

Keshia’s Prescription Pain Med Drug Use Claim About Ed Hartwell

Via TMZ: Keshia also filed docs saying she’s worried Ed — an ex-NFL player — is unfit to care for their 2-month-old daughter because she’s seen him take OxyContin. She says Ed testified in a lawsuit with the NFL that he’s suffering severe physical and mental problems, and needs to take many drugs to cope. She wants a court-appointed guardian to evaluate his parental fitness.

We don’t know what the truth is, but these are some extremely serious allegations Keshia and the friend are reportedly saying about Ed and Tonya. We’ll keep you all posted on this.
