Three Lovely Ladies in Essence Magazine

November 14th, 2007 | Posted in Magazines | Print This Article

Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan, and Gabrielle Union look absolutely stunning on the cover of the December 2007 issue of Essence Magazine.

Here are some excerpts from Essence Magazine’s interview with the three lovely ladies:

Essence: How do you deal with the 24-hours-a-day gossip that comes out on the Internet?

Gabrielle: Just last week somebody gave me a baby. This isn’t Perez Hilton or the White gossip people, these are women of color, specifically Black women who, for whatever reason, don’t like the company I keep.

Sanaa: She’s talking about the gossip sites.

Essence: The blogs.

Sanaa: That are run by Black women.

Gabrielle: And now because everyone is clamoring for celebrity tidbits, the bigger gossip sites and even mainstream entities are picking up on it. No fact-checking, no nothing. And in one week’s time, there were like five different dudes, a baby—I’m a homewrecker. In literally seven days. I can’t point the finger at the White media. They don’t care about us. Paparazzi are not staked out in front of any of our houses. They are not going through our garbage because they don’t care about us in that way. So when you hear crap about us, it is coming from our own community, which hurts.

Gabrielle should be thankful for what little coverage she does get in the blogsphere, because her career needs all the publicity it can get!
