LOOSE LIPS: Marion Barry Arrest: The ‘Stalkee’ Tells What Happened

Excerpt:

LL spoke this evening with Donna Watts-Brighthaupt, the 40-year-old woman whom Marion Barry has been charged with stalking.

She does not support the charge: “He does not stalk,” she says. “He does what I allow him to do.”
Watts-Brighthaupt says she spent some six months in a relationship with Barry, from August, when she traveled with him to the Democratic National Convention, to February, when the romance ended for reasons she declined to discuss.

But the roots of what happened Saturday night, Watts-Brighthaupt says, go back to last Tuesday, when several councilmembers hosted a Wilson Building screening of CNN’s Black in America documentary. She attended with her ex-husband, Delonta Brighthaupt, and their children.

According to Watts-Brighthaupt, “It was embarrassing.”
