My aunt insists Roberta Flack and Rev. Jesse Jackson are long term lovers. She says he still visits her at her apartment in the Dakota and Roberta is crazy about him.

She also says Aretha Franklin's late father is the father of her first child. But that's not it. She claims Aretha's ex husband Glynn Turman is hella zesty and had a relationship with her son.

Why in the hell did you go Incog to say this??
I"ve heard both of these before...especially that Aretha Franklin one. She's got a whole lot of crazy ass issues because of her Father.
Lots of these gospel folks are and have always been DL, drug addicts, womanizers, etc.

I refuse to believe the story about Aretha and her father. Her father was a prominent minister and civil rights leader, and he was killed suspiciously in his own home. And not because of that, but because it's just too horrible. And that rumor has been around for ages. (Not policing, just stating my opinion.)

I can see the good Reverend though. He was a player back in the day. He married his wife only because she was pregnant, he had more than one woman during the time they were dating.

I had heard the rumor about Glynn Turmon and Aretha's son a long long time ago.

Also, I herd the Jim Nabors rumor as well... From a minister in Arizona. She said they knocked on her door late at night and asked her to marry them.

Why is it so hard to believe? Martin Luther King, Jr. was a prominent civil rights leader and he couldn't keep his dick in his pants or take it out only for Coretta. Look at Jesse Jackson. Prominent in the community but making babies out of his marriage.

I have on very good authority the rumor about Aretha is true. It's sad but not surprising. This thing was common place in certain parts of the south and still is. Unfortunately, the south isn't the only place where this kind of sickness happens. I worked with a girl who told us that her father is the one who taught her and her sisters about xes. She said it like it was no big deal. Aretha's weight problems probably have a lot to do with her family history. I'd eat myself into oblivion too if my father was the father of my child or if my husband molested my son. I can't speak on the rumor about the Turman guy and her son but I've heard rumors about it. Why do you think Aretha cries everytime her father is mentioned? I'd cry too. How can you reconcile the man you are supposed to trust the most before you get married and leave his home is also the father of your child? It's sick.

:worship::fing02: :kiss: I don't know why people can't believe things that could have happened to others all because the accused is a "maaaand-of-gawdd" ... For years I've heard rumors of Aretha, if they are true I feel really bad for her having to deal with them especially being human and all trying to make since of it. These people are men first, Never divine and perfect....

What about the Retha and MLK rumor, and the additional rumor that Retha was at the Lorraine that fateful day in 1968? If that is true, then that could be another cause of her issues.

I need to see side-by-side pics of Ree-Ree, her child and her father. That's a really sick rumor.

I heard that stuff @ Reatha before also--she had her first baby when she was only 12 or 13 so that adds credibility.

James Cleveland was a prominent pastor and look at all the stuff her did.

Another rumor is that Quincy Jones is the one that turned out Micheal Jackson--

I always wondered why that marriage ended so quietly!!! I thought it was that Aretha was hard to live with.

Aretha's mom left her and her siblings when she was a little girl. Her dad had a longtime affair with Clara Ward. C L Franklin was murdered in his home during a robbery/home invasion where it was discovered that he had an extensive pδrn collection. The Franklin family was very tight with James Cleveland who we all know was an AIDS infected, child molestor. Aretha's son Edward is/was a gay drug addict and drunk who burned down her house in Bloomfield Hills because he said that Glynn Turman molested him when he was a boy. I believe he is also HIV positive. He blames Aretha for all of it. Her ex-husband Ted White used to beat her. She had an affair with Sam Cooke and has never got over him. She drinks and eats to soothe her pain. Aretha has had a very traumatic childhood and difficult adulthood. My heart really aches for all that she has been through, however, she will never be able to conquer her demons until she confronts them first.

I remember when they copied my review of From These Roots on another board:

Yes, Ive heard the rumour about Aretha Franklin.

But I also heard that the guy who played some kind of Colonel on Different world, the dark skin one.. had a xesual relationship with her son, and also molested him. I need to go look up his name. He's an actor...

I also heard that Aretha's son is a lil "special" because his parents were father and daughter.

All typed above was from a very credible source....

I tried to read Aretha's biography and she twisted stories from her childhood into her adulthood in the beginning of her book. I stopped at page 35. She had her rounds with countless men and dated Dennis Edwards while she was with someone else, who was the father of her last child. It's been heard for years that Aretha has always been a jealous person. She likes people who would kiss her ass, that is why the main reason that she doesn't like Gladys. People say that Gladys is a nice, given, and good hearted person, but will fight your ass if you step on her the wrong way. That's why she stepped up to Berry Gordy and another label for ripping her off, and is a multi millionaire because of her business savy. During the 1976 Grammy's Aretha snubbed Natalie Cole for winning The Female Soul Award , in which she won eight years in a row.
It was also said that Aretha's sister Erma(RIP) was dating Dennis Edwards of The Temptations and Aretha liked him from the first time she saw him and didn't care who was dating Dennis. She use to chase Dennis down when he was on the road.

Her sister's man???? Scandalous to say the least!

I've heard the rumor about Aretha but somehow I don't believe it, not because her father was a minister (cause the priest were not saints either), but because I just don't.

Aretha is a 'classic b!tch'......

I knew she was married to Glynn Turman, (aretha was very small too).

Never knew about Jessie and Roberta.
