Lisa Wu-Hartwell Suing Keith Sweat For Custody Of Sons

Lisa Wu Hartwell is fighting for her sons. The recently-foreclosed star of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta has uncovered never-before-heard details of her acriminous divorce from ’80s R&B king Keith Sweat and her plans to return to court to obtain custody of the former couple’s two children, Jordan, 14, and Justin, 11 — who the real estate agent and fashion designer hopes to feature on her hit reality series.
Lisa married the “How Deep Is Your Love” crooner in 1991. During their 2003 split, both partners accused each other of infidelity, physical abuse, and theft. A judge utimately awarded Keith custody of Justin and Jordon. The singer has refused to sign a waiver allowing the boys to appear on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, says Lisa, 38, who appears on the RHOA with her second husband, former NFL star Ed Hartwell, and their 2-year-old son, EJ.
“I’ve already been seeing them four or five times a week, but now the time has come when I want to have them with me full-time,” Lisa explains. “I immediately filed for an appeal after the verdict, but I was never given a court date in five years. I’ve been afraid of the judicial system, but I’m finally taking the bull by the horns and trying to get my boys back again!”
Lisa and Keith are set to appear during a custody hearing in Fulton County (Georgia) Superior Court in October.
“If Keith has a hang-up about our sons being on TV, I would be fine with that. But Real Housewives is supposed to be a reality series, and the reality is that all the fans watching believe I only have one child,” she says. “Jordan and Justin understand what the show involves, and they’d love to do it. I adore all three of my sons — and I believe they all have a rightful place on the show.”

I personally think that keith should be fine with the boys being on the show because they are her kids too. Not only are they her kids to it show he can not be the bigger person in them not being together, I am a mother of a two year old little boy and regardless of what may happen between me and his father i will let him do whatever is safe and that he wants to do with his father because it only right. Coming from a family where my mother did not want my father in my life because of what she thought or wanted now it is crazy to said but i am against her for it not him and that is what you are doing to those boys they are old enough now let them chose word from the wise and it was four us and we felt the same way. We are all grow and have kids of our own and feel the same reguardless of how we feel about the other parent that is between us unless it puts the kids in harms way…… I love you guy’s both but i agree with lisa

She wants those kids for money. She wants that child support money. Now that her husband is not making the big bucks. If the kids want to be on the show that’s fine but, why is she pushing for full custody now? She is boring. Maybe, she is trying to get more attention focused on her because she is afraid that she will get kicked off the show.
