Black singer Mary J Blige’s charity for the empowerment of women has been hit with two lawsuits - and a long list of other embarrassing accusations

The Grammy Award-winning African-American artist’s The Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now (FFAWN) is being sued by a bank over an unpaid $250,000 loan and a group of artists claiming that they were not paid for performing at one of the charity’s fundraising galas. The non-profit organization also has hundreds of thousands of dollars in missing donations and does not have an office or a valid telephone number. In addition, the charity did not file a federal tax return for 2010, which was due in November 2011.
