jillscottWord of the split came via an interview with Essence magazine when she stated that, "John and I are no longer together."

 "When you have a baby you're dealing with a lot of emotions and I don't know how much of it had to do with us breaking up, but it happens," Scott told the magazine after being asked how Roberts was adjusting to their son Jett, born on April 20th of ths year.

 
Scott says that even though they're no longer together, that it doesn't mean they won't be able to come together as parents for their child.

Kamp Katina: Documentary Examines Plight of New Orleans

Because of the indelible images of masses of black people abandoned on rooftops, under highway overpasses and at the Superdome, many people might think that only African-Americans were adversely affected by Hurricane Katrina. But the disaster took a terrible ongoing toll on po’ white folk, too, as chronicled in this compelling documentary directed by Ashley Sabin and David Redmon.

The film follows the efforts of Ms. Pearl, an altruistic Native-American woman who, with the approval of her husband, David Cross, converted their backyard in to a tent village for locals left homeless in the wake of the flood that devastated the region a couple of years ago. David operates a construction company and is willing to employ anyone camping out on the premises in order to help them get back on their feet. In fact, he establishes certain house rules, including no drugs and a mandate that everyone there find work of some kind, even if not with his company.

Unfortunately, the rent-free offer turns out to be flypaper for the disturbed, and what begins as a utopian oasis gradually turns into a neverending nightmare. One guy snaps and literally tries to strangle his girlfriend because she asked him to find her a pot to pee in. Another man is asked to leave because he was pressuring a pregnant woman to get high.
