What is it with stupid, cheating men leaving sexy text messages from their mistress(es) on their phones? It’s almost as if the fools want to get caught. The latest celebrity to get busted by an incriminating digital trail is said to be Wyclef Jean, who recently gave a tearful speech denying allegations of wrongdoing by the charity he runs, Yele Haiti. Did he break down and cry to his wife after she found a naked photo of his female manager on his phone? “Oh, I’m so sorry I got caught, honey!”
Jean’s manager has a creative excuse for the photo though – it was supposedly an artsy picture taken by a photographer for a book. What was it doing on Wyclef’s phone then? Did one of his friends e-mail it to him and if so why did he keep it? Jean’s wife made him fire the manager, and I think she was well within her rights.
“Fugees” star Wyclef Jean may be in trouble at home after his wife discovered a nude picture of his gorgeous manager on his cell phone, sources said.
Marie Claudinette demanded her hip-hop star husband fire Lisa Ellis after finding the sexy shot, sources told the Daily News.
“Claudinette flew into a jealous rage,” claimed one insider. “She jumped to the conclusion that something may be up between Wyclef and Lisa. She told Lisa to stay away from her husband. To embarrass Lisa, she also e-mailed the nude picture to a number of people in the music business.”
Ellis insisted her relationship with the Grammy-winning Jean has always been strictly professional.
“Photographer Mark Baptiste took a portrait of me in December 2008 for an art book,” Ellis said. “It was tastefully done. Someone leaked the photo. I don’t know who did it, but the photo had nothing to do with my resignation as Wyclef Jean’s manager.”
Although the Fugees have long broken up, Jean has been in the spotlight for his efforts on behalf of his native Haiti after a devastating earthquake.
“Wyclef is spending all his time inspiring others to rebuild Haiti. We’re not commenting on any of these rumors,” said Jean’s spokesman, Ken Sunshine.
Jean and his manager parted ways about three weeks ago.
The black-and-white nudie photo, which The News has seen, shows Ellis standing facing forward with her hands crossed over her nether regions.
A friend described Ellis, who has a boyfriend, as “mortified.”
“She resigned because she just was not happy with the way Wyclef was conducting himself. He wasn’t listening to her advice,” the friend said.
“Lisa has no issue with Claudinette.”
The 37-year-old Wyclef married Claudinette, a fashion designer, in 1994. They have a daughter and renewed their vows in August 2009.

Again, if it was an art photo and not some kind of sexy “this it to remind you of our hotel trysts” picture, what was it doing on Wyclef’s phone? There’s a remote chance that someone sent it to him, he saved it and didn’t realize it, and his wife found it and flipped out. That sounds far fetched, though. If his wife was checking his phone she probably suspected something, and she may have had more reasons to ask him to fire the manager than just the picture.

Jean has been cheating on his wife for years

I do not trust this guy. And I agree, if she was looking through his phone, she must’ve suspected something was going on already. She was totally in the right to tell his manager to get lost.
And how gorgeous is that cream-colored dress she’s wearing in those pictures? WOW. Not to mention that it looks really comfortable too.

If he’s been cheating on her for years, she might have quite a nice jewelry collection to show for it, you know, ala Kobe?

I don’t think it’s true that Wyclef got with Lauryn Hill back in the day. Hill’s one and only man has always been one of Bob Marley’s sons (can’t remember his name right now). She has four or five babies with him and they have been together off and on for years. There’s never been any gossip about her and Wyclef.
Anyway, I don’t blame Claudinette for making him dump the manager. In fact, he never would have had a woman manager if I was his wife, pretty or not. Men or basically dogs who would get with any woman so, why tempt him?
P.S.: Jean and his wife have two children and the girl is called Angelina, after Jean’s friend Angelina Jolie.

If someone did send that pic to him (can camera phones take black and whit photos??) he should have deleted it ASAP. I would be pissed if I found a nudie pic on my husbands phone and at that point it wouldnt matter if it was sent to him or taken by him. He shouldnt have it period.

Latoya if apple isn’t the best how come no one goes on android or hp sites to spam about the iOS?..anyway, this is great, with my 3GS I have no reason to upgrade, and no reason to buy iPhone 4..+1….. this would be very cool….. Especially if the app data was fully sync’d between OSX and iOS Rip Blu-Ray movie Mac Would this allow secure email, contacts, and calendar integration with my windows laptop through my company server? Company currently issues Blackberrys, but if I could carry everything on my personal phone that would make my day. Email client is being shifted from Lotus Notes (VOMIT) to Outlook.
