Melanie Fiona and Adam Rodriguez

The Canadian singer may have found herself on the “Wrong Side of a Love Song” with her secret beau, actor Adam Rodriguez.

The two met on the set of her debut video “It Kills Me” and until their recent split, virtually no one knew they were an item.

Adam’s rep confirmed in a recent statement to the NY Post that the break up, which has happened in the past month, was amicable and they’re still friends. “Adam still cares about her,” the rep said.

In a recent statement given by Fiona during an interview with “The Breakfast Club” she says,

“…you just get to that point where you are so in love with somebody that you are just willing to accept all of the things that they do to you,” she added. “It’s really not okay and I know that I consider myself to be a strong intelligent woman. So when emotions get the best of you, it’s really hard to break that cycle but when you do, then you got to find strength in it and put it in music. You let other people know that you’re not immune to it.”

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
