Pepa In Real Estate Scandal

Sandy 'Pepa' Denton got drama with her ex-husband and his baby mama. One year after Pepa divorced Naughty by Nature front man Anthony 'Treach' Criss, she met and married this dude named Emora Horton. Soon after, Emora and Pep formed Scotch Bonnet Realty Corp. with Emora running the business. Within a year Emora got his ex-girl friend, Cateania Matthews, pregnant and he and Pep divorced but stayed in business together. At some point Emora and his baby mama Cateania pulled a scam where Scotch Bonnett Realty 'sold' her a house but the lied about the amount of money she put down on it in order to secure a home equity loan for $30,000.00.

Fast forward, Cateania is in bankruptcy court trying to get out of paying the loan while Pepa is claiming her name was forged on the transfer deed and that the house should still belong to her with no liens attached. In the end, Pep decided not to push it and told her lawyer, "I'm a mother; she's a mother. Fine, let it go." They say by the end of Tuesday's court proceedings, the two women were smiling, crying and hugging each other, clearly relieved to have put the legal battle behind them. Cateania is to give up the property as part of her Chapter 13 court proceedings.
