The ex-fiance of Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who has nine kids with eight women in six states, is getting aired out in a damning memoir about their rocky relationship.
Although Rhonda Patterson says Antonio is well-endowed and the best sex she has ever had, he also dumped her days before their $200,000 wedding and left her to give birth to his sixth child alone.
The book is called Love, Intercepted: A Tale of Football, Falling and Failing in Love and Rhonda is so steamed she never even uses Antonio’s name, referring to him only as “he.”
“It goes nameless because the story is bigger than him. This is not a book to bash him. It’s meant to help women avoid making the same mistakes I did.”
Rhonda says she doesn’t blame Antonio because he was raised poor by a single mom, a “less-than-ideal environment to learn how to be a man.”
They met on Facebook in 2005, she says, he lacked conversational skills, but…
“I will give it to the man — he’s talented, well endowed, and . . . it was truly the best sex I’d ever had. He was one of those lovers who would caress you, stroke your hair . . . look you in the eyes and ask you to have his child. I thought his asking me to bear his child meant he loved me.”
Rhonda, a corporate lawyer and former Miss Black North Carolina, says it all went downhill when she heard “rumors of more babies on the way, STDs, and secret trips.”
“I came across other women’s jewelry, greeting cards he’d received from other lovers, and sex paraphernalia that we had never used. I was furious.”
After all of this, she still accepted his proposal. Then she found out she was pregnant a week later. And from there…you know how the story goes.
Antonio went on to father two more kids out of wedlock, before he married model Terricka Cason, who had his ninth.
This is too many things.
