She also explained why she stayed in an abusive relationship for such a long period of time.

I am glad that she spoke, it is about time!
I believe her ,I was in the same situation I had to leave Jamaica girl keep ur head up an tek care a Ur son God will bless u
The fact that he mentioned their alleged private conversation the reason for the break up , we knw he was a fraud.
I rate her for speaking out. Move on hun, and make a change for the better. You clearly realize that you are worth more
All this time for 9yrs the man a beat you but you stay and in an abusive relationship???. Was it the money or the hype??? Now after you open your legs and slept with his coworker/boss,ninja man,then you want the poring of support from FEMALES to overlook your low class,dunce,unintelligent ways. I don’t support “no man beating” you or any ooman but taking it for 9yrs is a bit much when you are so close to the police and the station. We all know these police in jamaica, the min you call them a say, him lick yu, a problem… Read more »
She is finally free. I am happy for her and her son. She made the right decision to go public and not to keep his dirty secrets
foota must undastan himself and kno say wen a ting done it just done….not becoz he was there for her she dont ave the rite to choose and decide wat to do with her life..sleepin wid scatta is not him business either,take this as a wake up call,yuh cant ave ur cake and eat it wid a woman weh kno her worth,go find a woman dwn a backbush fi dat purpose and call it ur lesson or loss and mek the lady go live her life how she please…stop mek the girl look bad
Foota gwaan go look a life and leave d girl alone! Stop being a cry baby an stop watch out ishawna good good! Dwl. Its over.
Who cares. Kmt!!
I am proud of her. So many many women going through this in Jamaica. I have so many friends who have lived through this or other kinds of situations. The men stalk you and then walk and tell the world lies about you to “save face” or because they can’t deal with the pain of the woman leaving. For those of you judging her for staying think about this… He got her at 18 (remember how gullible you were at that age), she had no family around (perfect for an abuser to use to manipulate) and he kept her in… Read more »
I want to give her big hug!!!!

I’ll say this once…Jamaican society perpetuates this bad man, tough man image and 99.9% of these men thinks its OK to hit women my dad included which is why when I’m in Europe girls say to me Jamaican men are undatable I’m sorry I’m a proud Jamaican but I would never marry a Jamaican man I am very afraid of them thanks to my dad and the few I’ve first-handedly seen beating women publicly…they say black men don’t appreciate black women but Jamaican men does not appreciate any women they don’t even respect them so I’m happy this young lady… Read more »

So damn rite I say leave cause I got fed up and left, it wasn’t easy I was threatened and then beaten again for leaving so I stayed for three years I got fearful for my life I had to get a restraining order just to get away form him but that didn’t stop him but at least he’s not in my house.

Good that she finally got the courage to leave. The show should not have shown the child’s face though. He might be teased at school. There was some explicit sex discussion in this. Children should be protected.
Some of you men and women who are making u remoursful comment need to educated themselves on victims of domestic violence
Really sad, abuse to both men and women is not acceptable

im so happy Ishawna spoke out.. I empathize with you and i knw what relief it is. I just hope the government really get serious with this issue cuz im sure alot of our women are going through it. Men need to stop abusing their power and women need to stand up and take control of their lives. even though he disrespected you, you still handle the situation maturely…well done
It isn’t uncommon for ppl to stay in abusive relationships. Based on what I’ve come to understand they are intimidated and controlled by these men or for whatever reason they are scared to leave and scared go stay at the same time. Some hope the man will change. Foota is obviously bitter and I have no respect for men esp those in public figure who come out and try to disgrace their ex especially those who carried a child for them. It is obvious he is trying to be spiteful. Ishawna is young even if music doesnt work out for… Read more »

So Foota Hype is a Woman Abuser…what is his REAL name…Publicize it…the Next thing is to Get the Foreign Promoters to Stop Promoting Woman Beaters on shows in the US and Europe..
Women quick to overlook another woman infidelity but ready fi kill a man just because a woman cry abuse hmmm I have brothers and I look at every side.
I doe understand why dis fool Foota Hype a behave like this. If da girl did even cheat, good fo her. U come on tv a brag bout u did always a cheat. Much respect Ishawna. Glad u came and spoke da truth.
