Any of you are planning to watch the Bobby Debarge story?

the-sins-of-the-father-1534870358.jpg

Etterlene met Robert shortly after her father died. She was 17 and romantically inexperienced. Robert was four years older, in the army, and white, which made him socially forbidden fruit. Unfortunately, he was also "insanely jealous," according to Etterlene, and ordered her not to wear jewelry, makeup, or anything else that might attract another man. After a hasty wedding, things rapidly went downhill. Etterlene said Robert tormented her physically and emotionally, even keeping her "continuously pregnant."

Etterlene's children had horrific memories of their father. "My father xesually molested a lot of my brothers and sisters," Chico DeBarge told Vibe. Bobby allegedly took the bulk of the abuse, but all the children suffered. Bunny would blame the siblings' professional woes and personal struggles on the ugliness they endured as children. Robert Sr. denied ever abusing his family, but something certainly scarred them.

I didn't know that they were white and black until I got older. I always thought they were Latino.

Idk why I thought their father was Latino and that it was a white stepfather who abused them. They looked Latino and even some of them had Latino names.

Like a lot of folks, I thought they were Latino until found out their dad was white just a few years ago. I think that whole Latino sounding names (Chico, El) was for marketing....maybe. Chico DeBarge’s real name is Jonathan Arthur and El Debarge real name is Eldra Patrick Debarge ‍♀️

I'm confused. Says he was survived by wife Barbra. Then says Etterline met Robert when she was 17??

Interesting, I thought they were MGM.

The dad remarried (another black woman IIRC) after HE left their mama. She didn't leave him. They have a half-sister who is also bi-racial. Judging by some of the things that was said in Bunny's book and the mother's book; the mother knew he was abusing the daughter (and the boys) and seemed "jealous" of the fact that he wanted their daughter and not her xesually. This is why I have no respect for the mama. I don't think she tried hard enough to get away from her husband and protect her children, like she claims she did.


ETA: The dad cheated on Etterline w/ a black woman at some point, hence the half-sister and I think they got more then one half-sibling as a result of his extramarital affairs. I forgot the half-sister's age, but she's around the same age as El and the older siblings IIRC. It was no secret because the siblings are close to the half-sister, esp El. I think they had a relationship with the half-sister/siblings since they were teens. But I can't remember if the dad married the woman he cheated with or another random woman.

DeBarge is not a latino-sounding name. It's french. Which is a dead giveaway and for that I never understood why ppl thought they were hispanic. But maybe it was the nicknames like El and Chico that fooled people.

You mean half sisterS. Their father had multiple outside children. He was straight up Hoe (Sadly El seems to have inherited his ways) and was sleeping with everyone in the neighborhood basically.

I think he had at least 15 children all together. 10 with Etterlene and yes 2 of the half-sisters are the same age as El and Marty. Bunny wrote in her book that after Etterlene found out he had a whole other family. He asked her for a divorce and her dumb ass said no. This was before James, chico and those twins were even born. She could have got out of that marriage multiple times, but she choose to cling on to it.

But I'm sure the movie will portray her as a courageous church going saint, since the actress read Etterlene's book to prepare for her role.

Since the script is based on whatever Teri said rather than Mama's book, I doubt it'll be very flattering to her either. I think this explains why Mama wants the film boycotted. :sidefrown

He was evil and so was the mother. She clung to that toxic marriage and let him destroy and scar her children forever. She didn't try to protect her kids or try to get away. She wanted to keep the only white man that desired her at the expense of her children. She loved the rebellious and taboo nature of her and the father's marriage. That wicked wench is the reason for the demise of her children.

I think the Latino comes from the fact that she got remarried to a Puerto Rican man. So people just assumed that her second husband was the father of those kids.


IDK like that man appeared to have demons and she appeared either too frightened or inebriated (?) by his whiteness to let him go. That whole family’s situation was sad. They shouldn’t have been married that young anyways.

No, they stayed married until 1974. The brothers beatdown happened in 1969. :sidefrown

Nope. Robert Sr. married twice after he divorced Etterlene. He had one child w/ each wife. Barbara was his widow.

Mama was Jorge/George Rodriguez's widow.

who was sleeping with everyone in the neighborhood, the dad or El? I read here on LSA that Tommy said in his book that El was hypersexual. He became a father in 1978, according to Wikipedia. He was only 16 or 17-years-old. The mama on the movie said all the DeBarge boys ran behind fast-tail girls. I believe it, too.

The obituary didn't mention that his son, Bobby, preceded him in death. That wasn't right. I'll bet the daddy's widow left that out on purpose.

Latino ain't even a race. lol @ the comments "I thought they were Latino" like there's one way to look Hispanic/Latino. Cameron Diaz is actually Latino since her father was Cuban.

That brothers beatdown should've happened before he married their sister. Didn't he abuse Ms. Etterlene before they got married?

Actually El became a father at 14 in 1975. Adris' mother was NOT a teenager! :sidefrown

It was Marty's daughter LaKeysha Nolan that was born in 1978.

According to Mama...no, the physical abuse started while she was pregnant w/ Bunny. That was about 1.5 years into their marriage. :disappointed

Chico has stated that his nickname came from their Puerto Rican (also abusive) stepfather.

At 14?!!!!!!! And the mother WAS NOT a teenager?!!!!! If I were Ms. Etterlene, I would've whooped her ass!!! But we're talking about a woman who acted as though she really didn't care about her children's health and well-being!!! And how the hell you spread your legs for a 14-year-old boy?!!! What kinda sh!t is that?! I guess it's embarrassing as hell! That's why it says 1978 on Wikipedia! Thank you for the info! Wow!
