Had social media existed back then...
I wonder if tea was hotter then because a lot was able to be kept secret. Details only emerge when people do biopics and biographies decades later. At the time, only magazines, gossipy DJs, and word-of-mouth spread tea.
What would have broken the Internet?
- Bad Boy/Deathrow East Coast West Coast rivalry. This would have shut everything down. Huge stars were involved (hip hop and R&B), real criminals, deaths, adultery, abortions, and all kinds of stuff. It reached mythic proportions even back then. It would have been exacerbated by social media.
- Aaliyah and R. Kelly
- Destiny's Child break-up. Again, it got nasty even back then.
- The Jacksons. Them niggas were nasty. Joe, Jackie, and Jermaine shared women. Jackie and Jermaine have kids with the same woman. :omgwatshappening: They were the biggest musical family ever and associated with other huge acts. Jackie's wife caught him on a date with Paula Abdul and ran him over with a car. :dead: Latoya was getting pimped by her husband. Randy and Janet jumped one of Joe's hoes on behalf of their mother. Their tea was epic.
- Extremely popular, extremely sexual male R&B singer gets paralyzed for life because his car crashes while a trans is allegedly giving him head. I.E., what happened to Teddy Pendergrass. Imagine if that happened today with a big singer.
- All Motown tea is hot. It went down in Detroit. Diana sleeping with Berry. David Ruffin beating up Tammi Terrell. Marvin Gaye marrying a much older woman (Berry's sister), only to turn around years later and cheat on her with a 17 year-old girl. :omgwatshappening:
- Sam Cooke's mysterious death. But it didn't end there. Three months later (just three!!!) his widow married Bobby Womack, who Sam had mentored. :omgwatshappening: The widow's brother stomped him for that. A few years later, the widow caught Bobby sleeping with her teenage daughter. :omgwatshappening:
- These violent scandals: Lionel Richie's wife (Nicole Richie's mom, Brenda) stomping him and his mistress when she caught them in bed. Beat them so bad, she was arrested for spousal abuse.
- Al Green's crazy gf, Mary. She was married, messing with Al, waited until he was naked getting in the shower, and dumped a pot of boiling hot grits on him. Scalded him with third degree burns all over his body. Then, she shot and killed herself. Rocked Al so much that he became a pastor and switched to gospel.
- Whitney and Bobby
Others?
Clinton/Lewinsky
Inoj
Anita Hill
A lot of the old Brandy stories that many people, aside from fans, don't know about. Like the rumors of her vs Adina Howard, her shady ass comments about other artists, etc.
I also think the Birtney x Xtina "feud" would have been even more exaggerated
I never knew about any of this stuff except for the Bad Boy mess.

I love old tea. :welllol:
It's incredible. One thing is for sure: scandals existed forever. You can go back to the beginning of recorded music. Look at Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith being bisexual, cross-dressing, and beating up men in clubs.
Old Hollywood tea takes the cake, though. As far as pop culture tea.

If social media was popping during the Confessions era I could see these random IG thots claiming to be the girl n the song n
Patti/Diana
Whitney/Mariah
Lord the tea was hotter back then than now.
Sam Cooke was killed by the hotel manager. She claimed he broke down her office door and tried to attack her.

Faith/Lil' Kim
r u bored :everythingok:
It's crazy how fckn young IG is...
The making the band memes... Flavor of Love during today's era omf
There were forums back in the late 90's and I remember reading that there was lots of tea going around. Even celebs popping up to give their 2 cents :plzstop:
Historical tea:
Prince Edward was in line to be the next King of England. Took up with a MARRIED woman (Wallis). The British said no, ma'am. You can't marry a MARRIED woman and make her the next queen. Even after she divorced, Edward would have been her THIRD husband. No.
They made him choose between Wallis and the crown. He chose Wallis. :omgwatshappening:
Because of that, his little brother became king. The little brother's daughter is Queen Elizabeth. She would not be queen today if her uncle hadn't abdicated.
Something similar happened when Prince Charles cheated on Princess Diana (their whole saga rocked the world, too). The crown would not allow a mistress to become queen. Even now, Camille will never be queen. Dust to side chicks. :jackiessales:

Yep. He was found dead wearing only a coat and shoes. :uhh: He stormed in looking for the woman he was messin with at the hotel earlier.
But ki at his widow remarrying three months later. :dead:
The 'Bert and Aaliyah mess would shut #BlackTwitter down. People still talk about it today cause there's a mystery there. Neither of them confirmed anything.
A lot of the label beef and mess would cause riots tbh. Just imagine ppl sneaking in pics at the overzealous parties back then :plzstop: I don't think Diddy would be around like he is now tbh.

not to mention there are rumors that he hired people to kill for him
Wow, yeah. Both MJ cases would have shut everything down.
It's funny because Janet at the SB, Britney going crazy, the Confessions album drama with Usher, etc. all seems rather "recent" to me. But they all predate most social media, and even most TMZ coverage, even though they happened in the 2000s. Everything changed roughly ten years ago, so the way we consumed pop culture scandals is totally different when you're talking about anything prior to about 2006. :omgwatshappening:
Dr. Dre beating up a female radio host at a party.
Eminem would be all over TMZ and Twitter like Bieber is now.

I don't think Marvin Gaye would be as revered as he is now had social media been around back then. Same goes for Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley.
Prince vs. Rick James. Rick HATED Prince, and thought he stole his style after opening up for him on tour. He kinda did, lowkey.

Rick James was savage!
QuoteMom was beautiful. She was impressed with stars and never tried to hide it. In fact, she collected autographs.
?Guess who I just saw, James?? she said to me.
?Who??
?Prince.?
?You didn?t ask him for his autograph, did you??
?I sure did.?
?Why??
?Because I like his music, son. I think he?s great.?
?Okay. So now you have Prince?s autograph.?
?Wish I did. When I asked him, he just turned around and walked away.?
?You?re kidding.?
?No, I guess he don?t like giving out autographs.?
That?s all I needed to hear. I chased after that little turd. I caught up with him and was about to lay him out when his manager stepped in.
?What the hell is wrong with you, Rick?? asked the manager.
I told him Prince had dissed Mom and that I was gonna kick his scrawny ass. Prince explained that he didn?t know who Mom was.
?Well, now you know, motherfucker,? I said.
?Prince will be happy to apologize to your mother,? said the manager, ?and he will be happy to apologize to you.?
Prince apologized to Mom and apologized to me. I was a little disappointed ?cause I really did wanna kick his ass.
:plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
Omg...Mary...I didn't know!!!!
BITCH no. I'm referring to the fact that a lot of ppl don't know that Marvin was a broke, drug addict most of his life.

Everyone thought it was awkward, but no one knew exactly how old she was at first. They just knew she was in high school.
Then, randomly, VIBE magazine published an article about R Kelly and just casually dropped the Aaliyah bomb in it. Like, "Oh hey, look, we found a copy of a marriage certificate where she lied and said she was 18. :rthosehotwings:"

They both needed saving tbh.
Aaliyah's uncle was managing R. Kelly back then and he already had made a name for himself. He was like the co-sign.
Thinking back it was weird as hell that they were dressing alike.
Aaliyah was very mature for her age so you would never think she was only 15 years old.

Yep. It's crazy that in just ten, fifteen years, we are so desensitized to things that would have caused an uproar back then. Sex tapes and nude pics are common now, but not so much back then.
I remember how people marveled at JLo's infamous Grammy dress back in the day, and talked about how revealing it was. It wouldn't cause anyone to bat a lash today.
Same with Lil Kim's infamous pasties outfit she wore to the VMAs when Diana bounced her tit. Or the spread-eagle Hardcore cover. Or the kiss between Madonna and Brit. That stuff made people gasp back then. Today we're like :overit: .

She was 15 and lied to the courts and said she was 18 so that she could get married. She must have used a fake ID or something. They were able to get the marriage annulled because she used false info for the license, and was actually underage.
When Aaliyah first came out, she was 15. She avoided questions about exactly how old she was.

Yeah he did become depressed but they both were in love with each other. However he had a family and wife at the time.

As sick as it sounds .. I don't blame r Kelly as much as I blame her parents and her disgusting uncle :usuresis:
The way everyone just threw her out to the wolves..
Whether it had been r Kelly or any adult male ... She would've ended up wrapped in a similar scandal because of their poor guardianship
The thing is it wasn't poor guardianship. They knew. A journalist talked about how he was at a studio with 'Bert, Liyah and her family. He said they were acting like a couple fjjjjj
A lot of people don't know but they were being marketed as a couple via magazines and televised interviews :plzstop: People who were older around that time said how they were doing photoshoots in matching outfits and stuff. Her own cousin said how there was Faith and Biggie at the time and how celeb relationships were a THING like wtfff. So it's obvious the whole 'scandal' aspect was orchestrated.

I think the marriage license was a publicity stunt to get people talking.
The interviewer brought up the marriage rumors
d
Talking? Robert could have (should have) gone to jail for that. And Aaliyah was put in a really bad position once it came to light. It followed her to this day.
Imagine you have a major artist-producer who takes the helm of a young prot?g?s ENTIRE project. Every note she sang was produced by R Kelly. He even lurked on her album cover.
Suddenly, the scandal breaks and they have to annul the marriage, lie and deny, and deal with a ton of backlash. Oh, and she can never work with him again, for propriety's sake. Now she has to record a second album with an entirely restructured sound and image because she can't depend on the guy who helped make her a star, the only person she worked with up to this point.
Thankfully, she met virtual unknowns Timbaland and Missy, and the rest is history. But it could have just as easily gone the other way with Aaliyah flopping and fading into obscurity without R Kelly. Her uncle said they had a hard time finding big producers to work with her on OIAM.
That marriage license and scandal really almost ruined her career. It certainly damaged her reputation.
If she were alive when the R Kelly sex tapes leaked, she would have never heard the end of it. They may have called her to the stand.
Oh gorl....

I agree. Though he deserves the blame as the predator. She met him years before her debut was out. He was grooming her when she was still a child. Ugh.
I never understood why they "married." It was a huge risk. My theory for which I have no receipts is that she told him she has to be married in order to have sex (and he risked everything just to get in her pants), or she was pregnant and it was like a precaution in case it came out. I lean towards the former because I'm sure her family would have just had her abort if a baby existed. No one would have known.
But a marriage leaves a paper trail. Which Vibe discovered.
Speaking of Vibe, they had a big part in Tupac's rape case scandal.

The thing with Wanye and Brandy is, He wanted to date her before she was 18 (nasty, I know) but Sonja said "boy bye" and they couldn't be together until she was 18. That's when you saw them on the carpet for Cinderella and attending Whitney's concert together.
Back to the thread:
Tina Turner pulled a gun on Randy Jackson when he hopped through her window to confront her friend.
Her assistant put it in his book a long while back, and Randy confirmed it on Twitter a few years ago. Imagine if she had killed a Jackson!
This mess :dead:
Quote
'I've been dating Michael Jackson's brother Randy.
Tina cut her off by saying, 'Bernadette, why do you keep messing with Randy Jackson? And why didn't you phone me and tell me all this stuff before ?'
I haven't called you because Randy is insanely jealous. I mean crazy.
Because you and me are so close, he kept accusing me of having an affair with you and said he'd kill me if he found out I saw or spoke to you. I told him you and me are like family and that his accusations were totally untrue. I dunno, he just has thing in his head'.
Bernadette sipped some water and continued,
'As long as he was still living with his girlfriend things were fine, but as soon as his girlfriend left him and moved out, Randy became more possessive than ever. Once we started being together on a full-time basis, I saw the other side of him. He started grabbing me by the arm and shaking me.
He never beat me, but I sensed it might happen soon and he really scared me. Anyway, we got into a big argument today and he went all wild-eyed. He walked towards me, looking like he was going to kill me. I got shit scared and ran for my life. And... uhm... here I am.'
Bernadette's eyes were now red from crying, and she asked Tina if she could use the phone.
Tina replied, 'Don't call him! Don't! You poor girl. All I see is me. This is the way I used to be. Why do you want the phone, to ring Randy?''
''Nooo. I won't call him.'' She fidgeted for a moment and asked,'' Tina,can I go to the kitchen and get something to eat?''
'' Sure, Bernadette, you know where everything is. Make yourself at home.''
As soon as Bernadette stepped out of the room, Tina whispered to Lejeune and me, ''She's not getting anything from the kitchen, she's going to phone Randy. Mark my words. I know... I know because I used to do the same thing with Ike.''
''Just watch the phone, you'll see. The light will go on.'' We all stared at the phone and five seconds later, the button illuminated. Tina slapped her thigh, exclaiming ''What did I tell you? I knew she'd phone him. I knew it. Poor girl, I used to do the same thing with Ike.''
When the light went off, we scampered back to what we were doing so Bernadette wouldn't know we were any the wiser. She walked into the bedroom and everyone started talking, with Tina proudly telling Lejeune and Bernadette about Craig's Naval graduation ceremony the day before. Bernadette, who was still very fond of Craig, held on to Tina's every word of the event.
Finally, a little shamedfaced, Bernadette looked down at her slim fingers and admitted, ''I.. I phoned Randy when I went to the kitchen.''
None of us said a word and her eyes darted at each one of us before she continued, ''Randy's got a lot of emotional problems. His family is crumbling fast. They're all at each others throats since Michael split from the family.
And there's some things about Randy that are weird. He's uhm, a little sick.. sexually'' I fled out of the bathroom with a towel under some dripping strands of hair and Lejeune froze mid-braid while Tina's eyes widened.
Bernadette had our undivided attention as she told us of her sex life with Randy. When she told us what he made her do, sexually, we all paled. I actually had to sit down for a moment because the details made me feel ill. I could practically see Tina's skin crawling. Her voice hoarse with distress, she said to Bernadette, ''Why? Girl, why do you do it?'' Tina took a few moments to recompose herself but she still sounded a little shocked as she added, ''Bernadette, you have to get rid of that man. You've just got to''
We were all snapped out of our state of shock by the ringing of the
phone.
I answered the call to find Randy Jackson on the line and Tina flipped. ''Damn it, Bernadette,why did you give that sick bastard my phone number?'' Bernadette ran to the kitchen to take the call in privacy while Tina twitched with anger and nerves.
Suddenly we could hear Bernadette screaming, ''Randy, I'm not coming back. You lied and lied and lied to me...'' Tina, Lejeune and I tiptoed towards the kitchen, hididng around a corner so we could eavesdrop on every word. Bernadette ranted on then slammed the phone down, leaving us scampering back to the bedroom to retake our positions as if we had been there all along
Bernadette returned to the bedroom shaking, her face twitching with fear. Her voice shaking, she said, ''I can't go back to him. He knows my every movement, he follows and stalks me. I mean, I can come out of a food store or the gym and he'll be there, hiding behind something just watching. '
She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and said 'He phones around and checks up on me to see if I'm where I said I was going...and he picks and choose who I'm allowed to see...'
The phone rang again and Tina grabbed it, calmly but firmly stating ''Do not phone my house again. She does not want to speak to you tonight and I'm sure you two can sort things out tomorrow. Meantime you are not welcome to phone my home.''
She slammed the receiver down. An hour and half passed. Suddenly the doorbell rang.
We all glanced at each other, I pressed the buzzer, asking who was there. The uninvited visitor replied, 'This is Randy Jackson. Is Bernadette there? I replied, 'She's left.' Randy frantically replied 'I know she's there. I know she is! I've got to see her. I've got to come in.
' She pounced on the intercom button and barked, ''You ring my buzzer one more time and I call the police. You are to leave my property immediately.'' Tina slowly paced her bedroom with her arms folded across her chest. I knew she was silently chanting to herself to calm her anger.
She let out a few deep breaths and paused in front of the vast sliding glass doors, the light from her bedroom casting her shadow onto the garden of her dream home. She paused for a moment, enjoying the stunning moonlit view of the tree- filled terracotta pot garden in bloom.
Tina glared disapprovingly at Bernadette, chastising her with her angry eyes as she repositioned herself in front of her large make-up mirror. She was fed up with Bernadette and made no effort to hide her disappointment while making her feelings clear to the girl who was once her son's fianc?e.
To make her point, Tina lifted her index finger and wagged it furiously her trademark red nails glistening as she spoke.
'' Bernadette, I don't know why you keep messing with these guys. And after all the things you've seen and all the things I've told you.'' As soon as we saw Tina wag her finger, we knew she meant business and knew to stay silent. Bernadette quietly wept and mopped the tears from the corners of her eyes while Tina delivered a stern lecture.
''So why did you bother with him in the first place? Because he's Michael Jackson's brother? That doesn't mean anything. That Randy Jackson's no good! He's like any other man getting their kicks scaring their women. And you put up with him running his mouth all over town saying you and me are lesbian lovers. Who does he think he is?
Tina's hand reached for a glass of white wine. She took a large sip and pursed her angry lips. ''And you gave him my phone number and address. How dare he keep pressing my intercom. If he presses that intercom one more time, I'll call the police. He'd better get off my property.''
(...) Alone, I listened to Tina as she continued delivering the motherly lecture to Bernadette, nodding my head in agreement. 'Bernadette, let me tell you something, you've got yourself an Ike Turner, You better get rid of him. I know you're scared Aaagh.' Tina was furious, and she threw her hands up in disgust. ''I know what it's like, Bernadette, It's best for you if you stay here tonight. Just make sure you get rid of that Randy Jackson first thing tomorrow.''
But no sooner had Tina spoken, than the noisy shuffling of footsteps could be heard outside. I paused and watched her from accross the bedroom. The worry on her face was unmistakable. Bernadette had already scared the daylights out of us with horrifying stories of Randy's violence. Lejeune and Tina remained still and silent as the intrusive sounds outside continued. There was a momentary eeriness, and then, without warning, one of Tina's huge, treasured terracotta pots burst through the glass doors, exploding on impact.
Shards of razor-sharp glass sprayed like darts throughout the bedroom. There was soil and terra cotta everywhere. Everything else that followed seemed to happen so quickly.
Randy Jackson leapt through the broken window and paused for a moment breathing and sweating heavily. Then, as he moved, glass fragments on Tina's plush cream carpet could be heard crunching beneath his hard determined steps. He seemed possessed, and his wild eyes rapidly scanned the bedroom. It only took a split second to focus on what he had come for. Like an animal stalking prey, he walked towards Bernadette muttering like a crazy man about how much he loved and needed her.
In all the years I had spent with Tina, she had drilled me over and over on certain safety procedures should an intruder gain entry into her home. We always thought if it happened, it would be her ex-husband Ike. On this particular day, we were wrong. Worse still, everyone froze in shock, forgetting Tina's meticulous safety drill.
The only one to spring to action was Tina herself.
She calmly and purposefully walked into the bedroom, where her eyes immediately darted to the framed pictures on her bedside table where she hid her loaded handgun. Without looking away from the table, her hand whipped out with shocking speed and grabbed a second gun-a shotgun- from behind the freestanding oval antique mirror just next to her.
She cocked the weapon, then turned and aimed the loaded barrel at Randy Jackson's head. Her body stiff and her aim steady, she said with true determination 'Freeze or I'll blow your brains out.'
Randy did stop, but only for a split second. Locking eyes with Tina, he ignored her warning, and lunged for Bernadette.
Tina, still several feet away from Randy, raised the gun a blew a hole in the ceiling. Randy, his face a mask of brutality, charged straight at Tina like a raging bull.
Still in total control, Tina moved the barrel slighlty to the side and fired towards the doorway. She pointed the gun at Randy.
Randy, suddenly terrified, leapt through the broken windows, fleeing for his life.
There was a silence as we all stood, shocked by the scene we had just witnessed. Then Bernadette snapped out of her trance and raced in hot pursuit of her lover.
Tina, Lejeune and I stood in stark amazement listening to the voices in the distance. Bernadette's voice was breathless and tearful as she professed her love and loyalty to Randy. Only then did Tina's body start shaking, and although in shock, she had the presence of mind to press the panic button beside her bed. Like a robot, I handed Tina a white towel which she numbly wrapped her half-finished head of hair. Lejeune, whom I had rarely seen touch any form of alcohol over the many years I had known her uncharacteristically swigged straight from the bottle of wine.
Over the next few minutes none of our eyes met. We couldn't believe what had just happened. Like zombies, we stepped over the debris of the elegant bedroom which now looked as if a bomb had hit it.
Barely able to breathe, we all sat on the bed, completely stunned. It wasn't until we heard the police sirens in the distance that we snapped back to reality. Tina, still slightly dazed, nervously ran her sweating palms down her thighs, smoothing the fabric of her designer knit sweat suit. She glanced at herself in the mirror and took several deep breaths, calming herself. Then she held her head high and adjusted the towel tightly wrapped over her hair in readiness to deal with uniformed officers.
After the police took their report and asked Tina if she would press charges, they left us to get on with the task of clearing away debris not to mention the fact that we still had a long way to go in finishing Tina's hair.
Randy phoned to apologise to Tina but she said, ''I have nothing to say to you. Don't ever use my number again. I have given the police all the details they need to contact you.'' Then she put the phone down.
Bernadette phoned too, and apologized over and over, begging Tina not to press charges on Randy. While an emergency service busied themselves boarding up and temporarily making safe the door area of Tina's bedroom, Tina coldly told Bernadette on the phone, ''Bernadette, I can no longer have you around me.
(...)
The following day, a man arrived with an envelope with several thousand dollars sent from Randy Jackson to cover expenses due to the damage caused by his breaking and entering. Tina refused the cash, firmly saying, 'I don't do things this way '.
Tina, after discussing things with Roger, decided not to press charges. Roger very rightly felt that Tina's reputation would be damaged and people might think she was like Ike Turner. By not pressing charges, it did not make the newspapers and the incident became a matter of police record.
Brandy and Wanya dated for 3 years. He ended their relationship before her 19th birthday. They been messing around well dating.

Yup. Luther was a DIVA. :kii:
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly that same year, Cindy spilled the beans when she told EW this:
“We’ve been having a lot of problems with Luther…our nickname for him is Lucifer.”
She also confirmed that Luther stopped talking to them, ordered that the two camps eat separately while on the road, and instructed his crew to hang drapes so he wouldn’t have to see the group backstage.
Ain’t that something?!! LOL. It doesn’t stop there though…according to the 2004 biography, Luther: The Life and Longing Of Luther Vandross by Craig Seymour: “While on tour in Miami, Luther saw that a member of En Vogue had wandered over to “his side” of the drawn curtain.
His temper hit full-tilt and he “actually” called the Miami police to demand the group be charged with trespassing.” Luther was a trip, but we still love him anyway! LOL.

JFK's sister getting a lobotomy, and then being promptly institutionalized and hidden away from the family for the rest of her life.
It was truly a sad tragedy, and shows how differently we view mental disabilities today. Rosemary was functioning but slow, but she had violent outbursts and got rebellious once she hit puberty. They were so afraid she would get pregnant and shame the Kennedy family name, they elected to get her a lobotomy (a new treatment at the time). It messed her up badly. She couldn't walk or talk, and needed constant care for the rest of her life.

?Because I like his music, son. I think he?s great.?
?Okay. So now you have Prince?s autograph.?
?Wish I did. When I asked him, he just turned around and walked away.?
?You?re kidding.?
?No, I guess he don?t like giving out autographs.?
That?s all I needed to hear. I chased after that little turd. I caught up with him and was about to lay him out when his manager stepped in.
?What the hell is wrong with you, Rick?? asked the manager.
I told him Prince had dissed Mom and that I was gonna kick his scrawny ass. Prince explained that he didn?t know who Mom was.
?Well, now you know, motherfucker,? I said.
?Prince will be happy to apologize to your mother,? said the manager, ?and he will be happy to apologize to you.?
Prince apologized to Mom and apologized to me. I was a little disappointed ?cause I really did wanna kick his ass.

Back to the thread:
Tina Turner pulled a gun on Randy Jackson when he hopped through her window to confront her friend.
Her assistant put it in his book a long while back, and Randy confirmed it on Twitter a few years ago. Imagine if she had killed a Jackson!
This mess :dead:
Quote
'I've been dating Michael Jackson's brother Randy.
Tina cut her off by saying, 'Bernadette, why do you keep messing with Randy Jackson? And why didn't you phone me and tell me all this stuff before ?'
I haven't called you because Randy is insanely jealous. I mean crazy.
Because you and me are so close, he kept accusing me of having an affair with you and said he'd kill me if he found out I saw or spoke to you. I told him you and me are like family and that his accusations were totally untrue. I dunno, he just has thing in his head'.
Bernadette sipped some water and continued,
'As long as he was still living with his girlfriend things were fine, but as soon as his girlfriend left him and moved out, Randy became more possessive than ever. Once we started being together on a full-time basis, I saw the other side of him. He started grabbing me by the arm and shaking me.
He never beat me, but I sensed it might happen soon and he really scared me. Anyway, we got into a big argument today and he went all wild-eyed. He walked towards me, looking like he was going to kill me. I got shit scared and ran for my life. And... uhm... here I am.'
Bernadette's eyes were now red from crying, and she asked Tina if she could use the phone.
Tina replied, 'Don't call him! Don't! You poor girl. All I see is me. This is the way I used to be. Why do you want the phone, to ring Randy?''
''Nooo. I won't call him.'' She fidgeted for a moment and asked,'' Tina,can I go to the kitchen and get something to eat?''
'' Sure, Bernadette, you know where everything is. Make yourself at home.''
As soon as Bernadette stepped out of the room, Tina whispered to Lejeune and me, ''She's not getting anything from the kitchen, she's going to phone Randy. Mark my words. I know... I know because I used to do the same thing with Ike.''
''Just watch the phone, you'll see. The light will go on.'' We all stared at the phone and five seconds later, the button illuminated. Tina slapped her thigh, exclaiming ''What did I tell you? I knew she'd phone him. I knew it. Poor girl, I used to do the same thing with Ike.''
When the light went off, we scampered back to what we were doing so Bernadette wouldn't know we were any the wiser. She walked into the bedroom and everyone started talking, with Tina proudly telling Lejeune and Bernadette about Craig's Naval graduation ceremony the day before. Bernadette, who was still very fond of Craig, held on to Tina's every word of the event.
Finally, a little shamedfaced, Bernadette looked down at her slim fingers and admitted, ''I.. I phoned Randy when I went to the kitchen.''
None of us said a word and her eyes darted at each one of us before she continued, ''Randy's got a lot of emotional problems. His family is crumbling fast. They're all at each others throats since Michael split from the family.
And there's some things about Randy that are weird. He's uhm, a little sick.. sexually'' I fled out of the bathroom with a towel under some dripping strands of hair and Lejeune froze mid-braid while Tina's eyes widened.
Bernadette had our undivided attention as she told us of her sex life with Randy. When she told us what he made her do, sexually, we all paled. I actually had to sit down for a moment because the details made me feel ill. I could practically see Tina's skin crawling. Her voice hoarse with distress, she said to Bernadette, ''Why? Girl, why do you do it?'' Tina took a few moments to recompose herself but she still sounded a little shocked as she added, ''Bernadette, you have to get rid of that man. You've just got to''
We were all snapped out of our state of shock by the ringing of the
phone.
I answered the call to find Randy Jackson on the line and Tina flipped. ''Damn it, Bernadette,why did you give that sick bastard my phone number?'' Bernadette ran to the kitchen to take the call in privacy while Tina twitched with anger and nerves.
Suddenly we could hear Bernadette screaming, ''Randy, I'm not coming back. You lied and lied and lied to me...'' Tina, Lejeune and I tiptoed towards the kitchen, hididng around a corner so we could eavesdrop on every word. Bernadette ranted on then slammed the phone down, leaving us scampering back to the bedroom to retake our positions as if we had been there all along
Bernadette returned to the bedroom shaking, her face twitching with fear. Her voice shaking, she said, ''I can't go back to him. He knows my every movement, he follows and stalks me. I mean, I can come out of a food store or the gym and he'll be there, hiding behind something just watching. '
She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and said 'He phones around and checks up on me to see if I'm where I said I was going...and he picks and choose who I'm allowed to see...'
The phone rang again and Tina grabbed it, calmly but firmly stating ''Do not phone my house again. She does not want to speak to you tonight and I'm sure you two can sort things out tomorrow. Meantime you are not welcome to phone my home.''
She slammed the receiver down. An hour and half passed. Suddenly the doorbell rang.
We all glanced at each other, I pressed the buzzer, asking who was there. The uninvited visitor replied, 'This is Randy Jackson. Is Bernadette there? I replied, 'She's left.' Randy frantically replied 'I know she's there. I know she is! I've got to see her. I've got to come in.
' She pounced on the intercom button and barked, ''You ring my buzzer one more time and I call the police. You are to leave my property immediately.'' Tina slowly paced her bedroom with her arms folded across her chest. I knew she was silently chanting to herself to calm her anger.
She let out a few deep breaths and paused in front of the vast sliding glass doors, the light from her bedroom casting her shadow onto the garden of her dream home. She paused for a moment, enjoying the stunning moonlit view of the tree- filled terracotta pot garden in bloom.
Tina glared disapprovingly at Bernadette, chastising her with her angry eyes as she repositioned herself in front of her large make-up mirror. She was fed up with Bernadette and made no effort to hide her disappointment while making her feelings clear to the girl who was once her son's fianc?e.
To make her point, Tina lifted her index finger and wagged it furiously her trademark red nails glistening as she spoke.
'' Bernadette, I don't know why you keep messing with these guys. And after all the things you've seen and all the things I've told you.'' As soon as we saw Tina wag her finger, we knew she meant business and knew to stay silent. Bernadette quietly wept and mopped the tears from the corners of her eyes while Tina delivered a stern lecture.
''So why did you bother with him in the first place? Because he's Michael Jackson's brother? That doesn't mean anything. That Randy Jackson's no good! He's like any other man getting their kicks scaring their women. And you put up with him running his mouth all over town saying you and me are lesbian lovers. Who does he think he is?
Tina's hand reached for a glass of white wine. She took a large sip and pursed her angry lips. ''And you gave him my phone number and address. How dare he keep pressing my intercom. If he presses that intercom one more time, I'll call the police. He'd better get off my property.''
(...) Alone, I listened to Tina as she continued delivering the motherly lecture to Bernadette, nodding my head in agreement. 'Bernadette, let me tell you something, you've got yourself an Ike Turner, You better get rid of him. I know you're scared Aaagh.' Tina was furious, and she threw her hands up in disgust. ''I know what it's like, Bernadette, It's best for you if you stay here tonight. Just make sure you get rid of that Randy Jackson first thing tomorrow.''
But no sooner had Tina spoken, than the noisy shuffling of footsteps could be heard outside. I paused and watched her from accross the bedroom. The worry on her face was unmistakable. Bernadette had already scared the daylights out of us with horrifying stories of Randy's violence. Lejeune and Tina remained still and silent as the intrusive sounds outside continued. There was a momentary eeriness, and then, without warning, one of Tina's huge, treasured terracotta pots burst through the glass doors, exploding on impact.
Shards of razor-sharp glass sprayed like darts throughout the bedroom. There was soil and terra cotta everywhere. Everything else that followed seemed to happen so quickly.
Randy Jackson leapt through the broken window and paused for a moment breathing and sweating heavily. Then, as he moved, glass fragments on Tina's plush cream carpet could be heard crunching beneath his hard determined steps. He seemed possessed, and his wild eyes rapidly scanned the bedroom. It only took a split second to focus on what he had come for. Like an animal stalking prey, he walked towards Bernadette muttering like a crazy man about how much he loved and needed her.
In all the years I had spent with Tina, she had drilled me over and over on certain safety procedures should an intruder gain entry into her home. We always thought if it happened, it would be her ex-husband Ike. On this particular day, we were wrong. Worse still, everyone froze in shock, forgetting Tina's meticulous safety drill.
The only one to spring to action was Tina herself.
She calmly and purposefully walked into the bedroom, where her eyes immediately darted to the framed pictures on her bedside table where she hid her loaded handgun. Without looking away from the table, her hand whipped out with shocking speed and grabbed a second gun-a shotgun- from behind the freestanding oval antique mirror just next to her.
She cocked the weapon, then turned and aimed the loaded barrel at Randy Jackson's head. Her body stiff and her aim steady, she said with true determination 'Freeze or I'll blow your brains out.'
Randy did stop, but only for a split second. Locking eyes with Tina, he ignored her warning, and lunged for Bernadette.
Tina, still several feet away from Randy, raised the gun a blew a hole in the ceiling. Randy, his face a mask of brutality, charged straight at Tina like a raging bull.
Still in total control, Tina moved the barrel slighlty to the side and fired towards the doorway. She pointed the gun at Randy.
Randy, suddenly terrified, leapt through the broken windows, fleeing for his life.
There was a silence as we all stood, shocked by the scene we had just witnessed. Then Bernadette snapped out of her trance and raced in hot pursuit of her lover.
Tina, Lejeune and I stood in stark amazement listening to the voices in the distance. Bernadette's voice was breathless and tearful as she professed her love and loyalty to Randy. Only then did Tina's body start shaking, and although in shock, she had the presence of mind to press the panic button beside her bed. Like a robot, I handed Tina a white towel which she numbly wrapped her half-finished head of hair. Lejeune, whom I had rarely seen touch any form of alcohol over the many years I had known her uncharacteristically swigged straight from the bottle of wine.
Over the next few minutes none of our eyes met. We couldn't believe what had just happened. Like zombies, we stepped over the debris of the elegant bedroom which now looked as if a bomb had hit it.
Barely able to breathe, we all sat on the bed, completely stunned. It wasn't until we heard the police sirens in the distance that we snapped back to reality. Tina, still slightly dazed, nervously ran her sweating palms down her thighs, smoothing the fabric of her designer knit sweat suit. She glanced at herself in the mirror and took several deep breaths, calming herself. Then she held her head high and adjusted the towel tightly wrapped over her hair in readiness to deal with uniformed officers.
After the police took their report and asked Tina if she would press charges, they left us to get on with the task of clearing away debris not to mention the fact that we still had a long way to go in finishing Tina's hair.
Randy phoned to apologise to Tina but she said, ''I have nothing to say to you. Don't ever use my number again. I have given the police all the details they need to contact you.'' Then she put the phone down.
Bernadette phoned too, and apologized over and over, begging Tina not to press charges on Randy. While an emergency service busied themselves boarding up and temporarily making safe the door area of Tina's bedroom, Tina coldly told Bernadette on the phone, ''Bernadette, I can no longer have you around me.
(...)
The following day, a man arrived with an envelope with several thousand dollars sent from Randy Jackson to cover expenses due to the damage caused by his breaking and entering. Tina refused the cash, firmly saying, 'I don't do things this way '.
Tina, after discussing things with Roger, decided not to press charges. Roger very rightly felt that Tina's reputation would be damaged and people might think she was like Ike Turner. By not pressing charges, it did not make the newspapers and the incident became a matter of police record.
oioopo

Funny thing is, I think if Janet's titty popped owt now or there was IG back then I don't think it would have been as big of a deal. There would have been memes for a week or two, Balck Twitter would have ran it to the ground and at worst her era would have gone to shit. I don't think her career would have suffered as much.
I agree, i don't think it woulda been a big deal.

The way Aaliyah's scandal was revealed was so odd. They were runnin around saying they were best friends, him doing her entire album, dressed like twins, had in her singing inappropriate lyrics... Who DOES that with a 15 year-old girl and you are a nearly 30 year-old man? :diddraispoot:
Everyone thought it was awkward, but no one knew exactly how old she was at first. They just knew she was in high school.
Then, randomly, VIBE magazine published an article about R Kelly and just casually dropped the Aaliyah bomb in it. Like, "Oh hey, look, we found a copy of a marriage certificate where she lied and said she was 18. :rthosehotwings:"
That whole thing is so weird to me because as she grew, it just seemed completely opposite of who she was. But she would be different from teenage years to adulthood, so yea. I blame R.Kelly. i seriously think he's mentally unwell

because it was covered up in a way, until she was 18
all the stories used to say Sonja knew they liked each other but she forbid them from it
obviously they were sneaking around but to the media & gen pop it wasnt like that
Yh wanya alluded to a different story on power 105.1
yea they all did, but this is NOW
even Brandy alluded to them messing around on Behind The Music in 2012
but back then it was on the hush

?We?ve been having a lot of problems with Luther?our nickname for him is Lucifer.?
She also confirmed that Luther stopped talking to them, ordered that the two camps eat separately while on the road, and instructed his crew to hang drapes so he wouldn?t have to see the group backstage.
Ain?t that something?!! LOL. It doesn?t stop there though?according to the 2004 biography, Luther: The Life and Longing Of Luther Vandross by Craig Seymour: ?While on tour in Miami, Luther saw that a member of En Vogue had wandered over to ?his side? of the drawn curtain.
His temper hit full-tilt and he ?actually? called the Miami police to demand the group be charged with trespassing.? Luther was a trip, but we still love him anyway! LOL.

There would have been memes for a week or two, Balck Twitter would have ran it to the ground and at worst her era would have gone to shit. I don't think her career would have suffered as much.
I agree, i don't think it woulda been a big deal.
!!!
With all the sex online it wouldn't been a big deal for a sec and people moved have moved on

iono Brandy and Wanya had a big age difference too... I feel like women mature quicker
I always wondered why the media never made a big deal out of their relationship.
Me too
because it was covered up in a way, until she was 18
all the stories used to say Sonja knew they liked each other but she forbid them from it
obviously they were sneaking around but to the media & gen pop it wasnt like that
Sonja never liked their relationship. She frowned upon it. I believe him and Brandy were seeing each other on the low behind her mother's back.
The fighting JLo and Mariah had over "I'm Real" would have been big when they were in their prime. We're only seeing the residual effects of their drama now and it's still all over social media. It really started back then.
Mary would've been a MESS. All that mess she was in. lol

Back to the thread:
Tina Turner pulled a gun on Randy Jackson when he hopped through her window to confront her friend.
Her assistant put it in his book a long while back, and Randy confirmed it on Twitter a few years ago. Imagine if she had killed a Jackson!
This mess :dead:
Quote
'I've been dating Michael Jackson's brother Randy.
Tina cut her off by saying, 'Bernadette, why do you keep messing with Randy Jackson? And why didn't you phone me and tell me all this stuff before ?'
I haven't called you because Randy is insanely jealous. I mean crazy.
Because you and me are so close, he kept accusing me of having an affair with you and said he'd kill me if he found out I saw or spoke to you. I told him you and me are like family and that his accusations were totally untrue. I dunno, he just has thing in his head'.
Bernadette sipped some water and continued,
'As long as he was still living with his girlfriend things were fine, but as soon as his girlfriend left him and moved out, Randy became more possessive than ever. Once we started being together on a full-time basis, I saw the other side of him. He started grabbing me by the arm and shaking me.
He never beat me, but I sensed it might happen soon and he really scared me. Anyway, we got into a big argument today and he went all wild-eyed. He walked towards me, looking like he was going to kill me. I got shit scared and ran for my life. And... uhm... here I am.'
Bernadette's eyes were now red from crying, and she asked Tina if she could use the phone.
Tina replied, 'Don't call him! Don't! You poor girl. All I see is me. This is the way I used to be. Why do you want the phone, to ring Randy?''
''Nooo. I won't call him.'' She fidgeted for a moment and asked,'' Tina,can I go to the kitchen and get something to eat?''
'' Sure, Bernadette, you know where everything is. Make yourself at home.''
As soon as Bernadette stepped out of the room, Tina whispered to Lejeune and me, ''She's not getting anything from the kitchen, she's going to phone Randy. Mark my words. I know... I know because I used to do the same thing with Ike.''
''Just watch the phone, you'll see. The light will go on.'' We all stared at the phone and five seconds later, the button illuminated. Tina slapped her thigh, exclaiming ''What did I tell you? I knew she'd phone him. I knew it. Poor girl, I used to do the same thing with Ike.''
When the light went off, we scampered back to what we were doing so Bernadette wouldn't know we were any the wiser. She walked into the bedroom and everyone started talking, with Tina proudly telling Lejeune and Bernadette about Craig's Naval graduation ceremony the day before. Bernadette, who was still very fond of Craig, held on to Tina's every word of the event.
Finally, a little shamedfaced, Bernadette looked down at her slim fingers and admitted, ''I.. I phoned Randy when I went to the kitchen.''
None of us said a word and her eyes darted at each one of us before she continued, ''Randy's got a lot of emotional problems. His family is crumbling fast. They're all at each others throats since Michael split from the family.
And there's some things about Randy that are weird. He's uhm, a little sick.. sexually'' I fled out of the bathroom with a towel under some dripping strands of hair and Lejeune froze mid-braid while Tina's eyes widened.
Bernadette had our undivided attention as she told us of her sex life with Randy. When she told us what he made her do, sexually, we all paled. I actually had to sit down for a moment because the details made me feel ill. I could practically see Tina's skin crawling. Her voice hoarse with distress, she said to Bernadette, ''Why? Girl, why do you do it?'' Tina took a few moments to recompose herself but she still sounded a little shocked as she added, ''Bernadette, you have to get rid of that man. You've just got to''
We were all snapped out of our state of shock by the ringing of the
phone.
I answered the call to find Randy Jackson on the line and Tina flipped. ''Damn it, Bernadette,why did you give that sick bastard my phone number?'' Bernadette ran to the kitchen to take the call in privacy while Tina twitched with anger and nerves.
Suddenly we could hear Bernadette screaming, ''Randy, I'm not coming back. You lied and lied and lied to me...'' Tina, Lejeune and I tiptoed towards the kitchen, hididng around a corner so we could eavesdrop on every word. Bernadette ranted on then slammed the phone down, leaving us scampering back to the bedroom to retake our positions as if we had been there all along
Bernadette returned to the bedroom shaking, her face twitching with fear. Her voice shaking, she said, ''I can't go back to him. He knows my every movement, he follows and stalks me. I mean, I can come out of a food store or the gym and he'll be there, hiding behind something just watching. '
She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and said 'He phones around and checks up on me to see if I'm where I said I was going...and he picks and choose who I'm allowed to see...'
The phone rang again and Tina grabbed it, calmly but firmly stating ''Do not phone my house again. She does not want to speak to you tonight and I'm sure you two can sort things out tomorrow. Meantime you are not welcome to phone my home.''
She slammed the receiver down. An hour and half passed. Suddenly the doorbell rang.
We all glanced at each other, I pressed the buzzer, asking who was there. The uninvited visitor replied, 'This is Randy Jackson. Is Bernadette there? I replied, 'She's left.' Randy frantically replied 'I know she's there. I know she is! I've got to see her. I've got to come in.
' She pounced on the intercom button and barked, ''You ring my buzzer one more time and I call the police. You are to leave my property immediately.'' Tina slowly paced her bedroom with her arms folded across her chest. I knew she was silently chanting to herself to calm her anger.
She let out a few deep breaths and paused in front of the vast sliding glass doors, the light from her bedroom casting her shadow onto the garden of her dream home. She paused for a moment, enjoying the stunning moonlit view of the tree- filled terracotta pot garden in bloom.
Tina glared disapprovingly at Bernadette, chastising her with her angry eyes as she repositioned herself in front of her large make-up mirror. She was fed up with Bernadette and made no effort to hide her disappointment while making her feelings clear to the girl who was once her son's fianc?e.
To make her point, Tina lifted her index finger and wagged it furiously her trademark red nails glistening as she spoke.
'' Bernadette, I don't know why you keep messing with these guys. And after all the things you've seen and all the things I've told you.'' As soon as we saw Tina wag her finger, we knew she meant business and knew to stay silent. Bernadette quietly wept and mopped the tears from the corners of her eyes while Tina delivered a stern lecture.
''So why did you bother with him in the first place? Because he's Michael Jackson's brother? That doesn't mean anything. That Randy Jackson's no good! He's like any other man getting their kicks scaring their women. And you put up with him running his mouth all over town saying you and me are lesbian lovers. Who does he think he is?
Tina's hand reached for a glass of white wine. She took a large sip and pursed her angry lips. ''And you gave him my phone number and address. How dare he keep pressing my intercom. If he presses that intercom one more time, I'll call the police. He'd better get off my property.''
(...) Alone, I listened to Tina as she continued delivering the motherly lecture to Bernadette, nodding my head in agreement. 'Bernadette, let me tell you something, you've got yourself an Ike Turner, You better get rid of him. I know you're scared Aaagh.' Tina was furious, and she threw her hands up in disgust. ''I know what it's like, Bernadette, It's best for you if you stay here tonight. Just make sure you get rid of that Randy Jackson first thing tomorrow.''
But no sooner had Tina spoken, than the noisy shuffling of footsteps could be heard outside. I paused and watched her from accross the bedroom. The worry on her face was unmistakable. Bernadette had already scared the daylights out of us with horrifying stories of Randy's violence. Lejeune and Tina remained still and silent as the intrusive sounds outside continued. There was a momentary eeriness, and then, without warning, one of Tina's huge, treasured terracotta pots burst through the glass doors, exploding on impact.
Shards of razor-sharp glass sprayed like darts throughout the bedroom. There was soil and terra cotta everywhere. Everything else that followed seemed to happen so quickly.
Randy Jackson leapt through the broken window and paused for a moment breathing and sweating heavily. Then, as he moved, glass fragments on Tina's plush cream carpet could be heard crunching beneath his hard determined steps. He seemed possessed, and his wild eyes rapidly scanned the bedroom. It only took a split second to focus on what he had come for. Like an animal stalking prey, he walked towards Bernadette muttering like a crazy man about how much he loved and needed her.
In all the years I had spent with Tina, she had drilled me over and over on certain safety procedures should an intruder gain entry into her home. We always thought if it happened, it would be her ex-husband Ike. On this particular day, we were wrong. Worse still, everyone froze in shock, forgetting Tina's meticulous safety drill.
The only one to spring to action was Tina herself.
She calmly and purposefully walked into the bedroom, where her eyes immediately darted to the framed pictures on her bedside table where she hid her loaded handgun. Without looking away from the table, her hand whipped out with shocking speed and grabbed a second gun-a shotgun- from behind the freestanding oval antique mirror just next to her.
She cocked the weapon, then turned and aimed the loaded barrel at Randy Jackson's head. Her body stiff and her aim steady, she said with true determination 'Freeze or I'll blow your brains out.'
Randy did stop, but only for a split second. Locking eyes with Tina, he ignored her warning, and lunged for Bernadette.
Tina, still several feet away from Randy, raised the gun a blew a hole in the ceiling. Randy, his face a mask of brutality, charged straight at Tina like a raging bull.
Still in total control, Tina moved the barrel slighlty to the side and fired towards the doorway. She pointed the gun at Randy.
Randy, suddenly terrified, leapt through the broken windows, fleeing for his life.
There was a silence as we all stood, shocked by the scene we had just witnessed. Then Bernadette snapped out of her trance and raced in hot pursuit of her lover.
Tina, Lejeune and I stood in stark amazement listening to the voices in the distance. Bernadette's voice was breathless and tearful as she professed her love and loyalty to Randy. Only then did Tina's body start shaking, and although in shock, she had the presence of mind to press the panic button beside her bed. Like a robot, I handed Tina a white towel which she numbly wrapped her half-finished head of hair. Lejeune, whom I had rarely seen touch any form of alcohol over the many years I had known her uncharacteristically swigged straight from the bottle of wine.
Over the next few minutes none of our eyes met. We couldn't believe what had just happened. Like zombies, we stepped over the debris of the elegant bedroom which now looked as if a bomb had hit it.
Barely able to breathe, we all sat on the bed, completely stunned. It wasn't until we heard the police sirens in the distance that we snapped back to reality. Tina, still slightly dazed, nervously ran her sweating palms down her thighs, smoothing the fabric of her designer knit sweat suit. She glanced at herself in the mirror and took several deep breaths, calming herself. Then she held her head high and adjusted the towel tightly wrapped over her hair in readiness to deal with uniformed officers.
After the police took their report and asked Tina if she would press charges, they left us to get on with the task of clearing away debris not to mention the fact that we still had a long way to go in finishing Tina's hair.
Randy phoned to apologise to Tina but she said, ''I have nothing to say to you. Don't ever use my number again. I have given the police all the details they need to contact you.'' Then she put the phone down.
Bernadette phoned too, and apologized over and over, begging Tina not to press charges on Randy. While an emergency service busied themselves boarding up and temporarily making safe the door area of Tina's bedroom, Tina coldly told Bernadette on the phone, ''Bernadette, I can no longer have you around me.
(...)
The following day, a man arrived with an envelope with several thousand dollars sent from Randy Jackson to cover expenses due to the damage caused by his breaking and entering. Tina refused the cash, firmly saying, 'I don't do things this way '.
Tina, after discussing things with Roger, decided not to press charges. Roger very rightly felt that Tina's reputation would be damaged and people might think she was like Ike Turner. By not pressing charges, it did not make the newspapers and the incident became a matter of police record.

Oh, no. I just looked to see the lyrics. He said "Little cute Aaliyah's got that vibe."

QuoteJackie and Jermaine have kids with the same woman.
GROSS! really?
Yep, one of the younger generation Jacksons was sitting in on The View a few years ago and confirmed. They were having a discussion about not dating your friend's ex's. And she came in saying, "Well, that's not that bad. My Uncle Jermaine married my uncle Jackie's ex, who has kids with, and we are all one big family." Or something along those lines. And Joy had some snide remark about in her family she's sure that isn't weird.

?I sure did.?
?Why??
?Because I like his music, son. I think he?s great.?
?Okay. So now you have Prince?s autograph.?
?Wish I did. When I asked him, he just turned around and walked away.?
?You?re kidding.?
?No, I guess he don?t like giving out autographs.?
That?s all I needed to hear. I chased after that little turd. I caught up with him and was about to lay him out when his manager stepped in.
?What the hell is wrong with you, Rick?? asked the manager.
I told him Prince had dissed Mom and that I was gonna kick his scrawny ass. Prince explained that he didn?t know who Mom was.
?Well, now you know, motherfucker,? I said.

Well BOOK Isis!!!!!!!
"Sadly, while Karim, Chen, and Hurley all benefitted greatly from her nipple slip, Jackson took the brunt of the criticism. She released an album several weeks later, Damita Jo, and while the sales figures ended up being alright, the following two she has released since are considered some of her least successful records. Her career has never bounced back from the damage it suffered back in 2004, and it?s unfortunate, as Janet Jackson was one of the best pop/R&B stars we?ve known."
