Christine Beatty Thanks Ex-Husband On 'Steve Harvey' For Support After Kilpatrick Affair

Former Detroit Chief of Staff under disgraced mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Christine Beatty was involved in one of Detroit's biggest scandals. It was a trying time for her and now she's been given a chance to thank someone in her corner.

Beatty is one of three women on Centric network's "From The Bottom Up" who were on seemingly successful tracks, until an error in judgement landed each of them in jail.

The three including Beatty were invited to the "Steve Harvey" stage to thank a loved one who stuck by them through it all. Christine Beatty chose her ex-husband Lou Beatty.
