I found a slightly more uplifting Christmas-themed divorce story in the case of Cordozar Calvin Broadus, a.k.a. “Snoop Dogg,” a profane West Coast rapper who’s a regular on the pornographic Girls Gone Wild video series and the Howard Stern Show.
Mr. Broadus filed for divorce in 2004 against Shante, his wife of seven years and mother of their three children. But in 2007 he reconciled with his wife, called off the divorce, and resumed his role as head of the family.
“I was caught up with Hollywood, and the girls and the night life,” he told the World Entertainment News Network. “I thought I was ‘the man’ and I was willing to give up what I had at home for that, until I realized that what I had at home was irreplaceable, so I gave that up to go back home.
“I just don’t want another man raising my kids. That was the main goal. I had kids with my wife because I wanted to be with my wife. And those three babies [Corde, Cordell and Coril] are all wanted, and I wanted to be with them.”
Mr. Broadus embodies many of the pathologies of the contemporary ghetto, but - bless his heart - he gave us a heartwarming Christmas homecoming story I won’t soon forget.
Occasionally we receive comments or stories from people that need and deserve to be heard and/or offered advice. The problem with these stories is that they tend to get hidden deep under the comments sections of specific posts. Which is why we have decided to open a new category on this site titled You Ask, You Answer. The purpose would be to offer you, our readers, a place where you could speak out and get heard - and more importantly, receive advice or hear the opinions of real people who have been through similar experiences. If you are interested in sharing your story with others, please send us your questions or stories to darndivorce@gmail.com. Personal information of the contributor will remain anonymous at all times. Thank you. -DWordDiva
