There are lots of reasons why marriages fall apart, but for singer Jill Scott, it all came down to her cooking. Scott split from her husband of six years, Lyzel Williams, back in 2007, and explained in an interview that it was because he didn't eat her food.
"One of the reasons my ex-husband and I broke up is that he stopped eating my food," Scott told U.K. newspaper the Guardian. "He was pissed [off] for other reasons, but the best way to show me was by leaving what I'd made for him uneaten for days on the kitchen counter. It was a smack in the face."
Following her divorce the Grammy winner began a relationship with her drummer, Lil John Roberts, whom she has since split from, but shares a two-year-old a son with. Scott gave birth to Jett Hamilton Roberts in 2009, and revealed that her toddler also shares in his mother's love for food.
"I panicked when my son, Jett, stopped eating baby food," she said. "He's only two but his food vocabulary is fantastic. He likes my baked tilapia and string beans with chopped garlic. But he really likes pizza. Sometimes every inanimate object to him is pizza."
Since taking time out of the musical spotlight, Scott has reemerged, releasing her fourth album 'The Light of the Sun,' which hits stores today.
Okay, I know that Jill said that her cooking was ONE of the reasons behind her divorce to her husband, but I don't think I would have ever shared that information with anyone. Some things are just better left unsaid. If you can't cook, then you can't cook. You can't force anyone to eat your food! ESPECIALLY if it's horrible! Go take a cooking lesson or two, or pick up a cookbook if it bothers you that much. And now when her son doesn't eat, she's nearly freaking out. Perhaps that's why she brought it up. Because it brought back a few memories, and I guess she's wondering 'what if'???? *shrugs*
Don't get me wrong because I also got that he would leave the food on the table (for days!) because he was pissed off about something else and that was his way of getting back at her. I don't know HOW she dealt with that foolishness because I wouldn't have cooked him another damn thing. Not even toasted his bread like she sang in "The Way You Love Me" (LOL).
And why wait six years to discuss this? Why even entertain questions about your marriage now? I'd be more interested in knowing what happened with her and her son's father myself, but hey, that's just me. *shrugs*
I thought she recently got divorced, but like you said why are they still asking questions after all these years.. and if you know you can't cook then why be mad? but i agree i would be pissed if he left the food on the counter for days..
