YaVaugnie Wilkins takes revenge on Charles E. Phillips
When someone does you wrong, aren’t you supposed to turn the other cheek?
Well, this Sister missed the sermon.
Because, according to the ‘church of YaVaughnie Wilkins‘ not only do you NOT turn the other cheek, you make it your job to expose the man who broke your heart.
She wanted to embarrass and humiliate him — and, in the process — give a parting shot to his wife.
Mission accomplished.
What YaVaughnie did is going down in history as one the most inventive ways of ‘outing’ a lying, cheating philanderer.
Sister-girl was not taking being dumped without leaving a calling card — in this case a billboard — make that several billboards in several cities.
YaVaughnie spent around $250,000 on the Clear Channel billboards — which have recently been taken down — to publicly dog her wealthy, well-connected, married ex-SOUL-MATE.
Thousands of passersby — in three cities — probably wondered exactly what the message meant. These huge billboards depict a seemingly very happy and in love chocolate couple showing their Pepsodent smiles!
“You are my soul mate forever!” the huge billboards read — alluding to words of endearment allegedly spoken with confidence by 50-year-old Charles E. Phillips, Jr., clearly during happier
times.
For almost 9 years they lived together in a monogamous relationship — that’s what Phillips told her he wanted; and, that’s what YaVaughnie eagerly believed.
Her greatest mistake.
The 42-year-old ‘writer and actress’ invested in this relationship with Phillips — the multi-millionaire president of Oracle and a member of President Barack Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board.
This is the man who drove YaVaughnie over the edge:
But, that “Forever” stated on the billboard came to a crashing halt when Phillips — who earns $20 million a year — reconciled with his wife Karen and moved into their Upper West Side home with 10-year-old son Chas.
Perhaps Phillips had already told his wife about the affair — it did almost last a decade; however, the billboards forced Phillips to release a statement this week.
“I had an 8½-year serious relationship with YaVaughnie Wilkins.
My divorce proceedings began in 2008.
The relationship with Ms. Wilkins has since ended, and we both wish each other well.”
What sent YaVaughnie into orbit no doubt — were Phillip’s promises, pillow talk of plans for the future, and the proverbial claims of a wonderful life together.
Which brings me back to the billboards — two in Manhattan and others in Atlanta and San Francisco.
YaVaughnie cleverly included a Web address which touted eight years worth of romantic pictures, emails, karaoke performances, notes, tickets (including to Barack Obama’s Inauguration) which seem to document a long-time affair between the two.
Also included, on the site, YaVaughnie and Phillip standing arm-in-arm on the Great Wall of China at his 2005 birthday celebration, and posing in Sydney wearing matching “Australia” jackets.
There’s also a huge collection of notes from the president of one of the world’s largest tech firms.
“You’re all that matters to me,” he gushes in one.
In another, he swoons, “I have never met a woman as fascinating as you. You are exactly what I’ve been looking and waiting for.”
They often appeared in public together and took photos with a young boy about the age of Phillips’ son.
According to Gawker.com — who broke the story — YaVaughnie is now missing in action.
After Phillips ended the affair, she was forced to move out of their 11-million dollar, 8-bedroom French chateau in Hillsborough, California with a pool and hot tub, tennis courts, sitting on a two-acre lot.
Interestingly enough, according to the New York Daily News, when Wilkins was studying journalism at San Francisco State, she wrote an essay warning of the hazards of marriage.
“Men need to be cognizant of the devastating penalties for making the mistake of loving a woman and at some point changing his [sic] mind…”
“In defense of men, there should be a law that prevents them from marrying before taking a class and passing tests that they understands [sic] that ’till death do us part’ and ‘as long as we both shall live’ is more often than not, a delusion.”
Time will only tell if Phillips’ wife sticks around. He may announce next week that he has a ‘sexual addiction.’
Phillips is a former Marine Corps captain and is on the board of the Museum of Natural History.
He and his wife attended the museum’s annual benefit in November, where they hobnobbed with Dave Matthews, Alec Baldwin and Caroline Kennedy, according to the New York Social Diary.
Get this — a few months earlier, a snap of Phillips dancing with Wilkins was posted on the Picasa image-sharing site titled “I’m going to marry this woman!”
I find it fascinating that some men find it so easy to lie.
Many say that it takes three months for every year you were with someone to recover from a break-up.
I pray that YaVaughnie finds peace in these next couple of years. I hope she finds the strength to move on and learn to love again.
I certainly understand if it takes her a very long time.
But, at least YaVaughnie isn’t Karen Phillips. Her husband is on the NEWS — ALL OVER THE WORLD!

Incidentally, YaVaughnie isn’t the first woman on the planet to go a little nutty after being betrayed. You may recall this story. It goes to show — hell hath no fury like women scorned:
