I never knew all of that regarding the Mowtown folks. But wrong is wrong. Regarding the girl; I don't know if it was a magazine article or a book I read, but I remember reading something about an 11-year-old who was drugged and raped. The rape was videotaped. When they went to court, the defense constantly refered to the girl as "that little slut" and other derogatory terms. They claimed that the reason she wasn't moving in the video was NOT because she was drugged, but because she was acting, and that it was a common techique in adult films. They even brought in an expert in adult films to testify. I don't remember the outcome of the trial or what happened, but I remember thinking that that was a lot for a girl that young to endure.  |

...and she's supposed to pick up the pieces--at age ELEVEN, mind you--and move on and live a normal life like nothing ever happened.  |

<----Notices not many Males commenting on this thread.....  Ladies, I completely understand not wanting to support R'ruh, but do you also feel the same way about Marvin Gaye?? "Let's Get it On" was about his then-15 year old girlfriend Janis (Nona's mother). 
The way I read it (one of the biographies)when Marvin met Janis,Janis was 17,Marvin was 34 & his wife Anna (Berry Gordy's sister) was 51. Marvin said that "I went from one extreme to the other. I married my wife when I was 21 and she was 38-17 years OLDER than me. Then I go and fall in love with someone 17 years YOUNGER than me.lol |

as far as Diana,I never heard that a train was run on her,but she & Smokey grew up in the same housing project and she did screw Smokey. She did an "upgrade" (prestige wise) when she started screwing Berry Gordy, In Mary Wilson's book she said that she found out about Diana & Berry when she knocked on Berry Gordy's hotel room door( when I read that one) and Diana answered the door...LOL |

Did you read Divided Soul by David Ritz?
That was a good read! I also read Call her Miss Ross by Randy Tarraborelli (sp?) and a book on Motown.

I hope they send his black ass to jail. I saw the video and strongly believe it was him. I'm sure there will be a lot of dudes in prison ready to "bump and grind" his ass.
I was never a fan of his and never will be.

I was never a fan of his and never will be. I saw the video and it was his retarded behind. At first it was "I didnt know she was underaged" now he getting all Shaggy on us talkin' 'bout "It wasnt me"....Negrofool please.  Then turn around with I believe I can Fly and that other "gospel-esque" song. He's a hot mess on cold bread. |
