I told y’all months ago that Keyshia Cole’s Bio-Mom Frankie Lons had an upcoming Judge Mathis appearance and even told you how Frankie prevailed in court. Well…the episode aired today and it was quite a bit more tame than I expected. Frankie appeared in a good wig wearing her smart glasses and spoke eloquently about her case. She didn’t really get crunk til the end and she had already won!
I found a video for those of you who missed it but it may be gone soon. I’ll update with a better quality vid soon but beggars can’t be choosers. So enjoy!
I honestly was a bit pissed off when I saw someone had ganked my video from my Frankie Gives Relationship Advice + Her Emotional Red Carpet Exit post, but once I watched it, I could NOT stop laughing. Itzrag, the dude who “remixed” the vid is a dayum nutcase but he killed me and gave me life again with his rendition of Frankie’s “crackish” interview.
I caught up with Keyshia Cole’s bio-mom Frankie Lons on the red carpet of the 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards this past weekend. She was sporting a new wig, a new front grill and a new attitude as she dished the dirt on her attraction to younger men. Anyone who follows Keyshia Cole or the “Frankie & Neffe Show” is quite aware of Frankie’s young boy magnetism. Shoot… she pulls em quicker than Kim Zolciak used to pull Big Poppa’s AmEx Black card. Anyway, Frankie was quite candid in her response to my question of “How do you always keep a young sexy man on your shoulder?” In fact, she was quite profound in her explanation:
“I’m not a ‘cougar’… I’m just a damsel in distress. Really, actually men my age I can’t deal with em, cause they make me feel old. And Ladies I need to give you some game. If you get a younger man, then he’ll make you feel young. You won’t be bent over and walking slow.”
Just moments after my brief interview with Frankie, she stormed off of the red carpet. If you follow me on TWITTER, you were the first to find out that a fellow blogger asked her a question that suddenly brought tears to her eyes: (more…)
In case you’ve been wondering what Keyshia Cole’s bio-mom has been up to while Neffe’s havin babies, well she’s still on her grind. Frankie recently made an appearance on “Judge Mathis” where she was awarded $5,000. She was suing a former employee for breach of contract but one of the defendants didn’t show up to court, so she won. No word on an air date, but watch out for it sometime during sweeps week
In addition to her recent windfall, Frankie has vowed clean up her life. She says she is giving up alcohol and cigarettes in an attempt to detoxify and also moved to a new place so that she could get away from some of her negative influences. To her family’s delight, she’s changed her social circle and dumped her young fiance. Now don’t think that Frankie has lost her groove, she still has a new youngster (a 23-year-old friend) who she goes to the movies with, but says things with him are just platonic.
I applaud her for cleaning up her act and wish her the best. Frankie can still be seen on BET’s Frankie & Neffe show, but she’ll also be making a few appearances on Monica’s new BET reality show and sharing the stage with Chico DeBarge in a play that’s being produced by Vivica Foxx. You betta work Frankie!!
Keyshia Cole’s bio-mom Frankie was spotted celebrating her 55th30th 21st birthday party last weekend at Traxx (Atlanta’s ‘alternative’ night spot). Frankie shared her cake with any and everyone and partied the night away in her signature style. Check out a few flix below:
Frankie and the partygoers…
Eeeny Meeny Miney Mo… Frankie had two cakes to choose from!
Frankie Lon’s, Keyshia Cole’s bio mom was spotted chilling around Little Five Points last weekend. *sigh* FreddyO should be spanked for following her around with his camera, but she’s more at fault for harassing all those innocent people. I have to admit I was cracking up at the lady with the violin. I wanted her to hit Frankie with that dayum boa, but I guess that would have been too much like right. No one could restrain Frankie and she even had the nerve to strike out at a stray dog that was in her path. That’s when I said I’m callin PETA…
About a month or so ago, Frankie had gone missing and family members where afraid she’d had a relapse. Freddy swears to me that Frankie just acts that way all the time and I’ve been around her too so I’ve seen for myself how erratic she behaves. TRUST. This woman is high on something… let’s just hope it’s LOVE since she just got her boo’s name tatted on her back:
Her boo’s name is “Mon” and that’s his “A”zz right thur!!
I dunno why y’all send me photos without details but I guess I can figure out a lil bit of this story. Apparently Keyshia Cole’s manager Manny celebrated his birthday recently and mama Frankie got a bit lit and performed for the crowd. Not really that unusual these days…Frankie’s been spotted all over the “A” getting more CRUNK than Lil Jon ever could. *sigh*
Frankie certainly knows how to act up for a camera! Anyway, Neffe, Soullow, and a few of Frankie’s other children also partied the night away with Manny. Lyfe Jennings even fell though fresh off of probation.
Check out more photos below as well as a recent video featuring Neffe and her fruity fairies:
