I have two little questions.

1) Did Sheila really get raped when she was 5 by a babysitter?

2)Is she seeing anybody now?

I'm apoligize if this has already been mentioned!

I have heard her say in several interviews that she was molested by either her neighbors or a family member either way it was someone that was close to her family, as for who she is seeing this question has been asked a million times but no one can definitely name one of her boyfriends, the one rumor that will not go away is that she is a lesbian and that her business partner Lynn Mabry is her lover by the way I have never seen any photos of her with any men(boyfriends) when she is photographed at events she is alone or with a male family member.

I usually tried avoid respond to the questioning about Sheila's sexuality for many years but I decided to say something regarding to this issue for once.

I don't get it when people assumed that she is lesbian (of course nothing wrong with it) just because she plays a demanding instrument and she remains single for many years. People aren't aware her being molested twice and also was an engaged to an unfaithful man (yall know who) who emotionally hurted her,
Sheila E said herself on a tv appearance that it is hard to find a good man likely due to her circustances.

Molestation is a very traumatic and horrifying experience and I was a victim too. Unless happpen to that person, it be hard for them to understand what we go through and also the choices we made. Yes they can sympathize but cannot empathize. I understand what Sheila goes through and I also supports whatever she does. Sheila and I are both alike in many ways. We are shy and sensitive yet caring and selfless. Also our sexuality had been questioned just because we don't go along with the women majority to get a boyfriend or a husband in fear of being alone. Hell people I know think it's odd of me being childless and single and I am not even thirty! Sheila seems she managed to cope but at the same time being molested has effect of able to trust men as boyfriends and husbands and even if the guys are genunely the good ones.

I think Lynn Mabry was also molested too and her and Sheila seemed they are best friends and business partners because they understand each other and among other reasons and I don't think they are lesbians.

If all this is indeed true, Sheila's faith in God has got to be getting her through. Many women who have been in those situations have turned to drugs or suicide. Hats off to Sheila and you as well Tookiely. You're not an old maid yet. You have plenty of time to find the right person, get married, have a baby and name him NATE.....If it's a Boy.

Thank you for your kind words. Nate is a cute name. I am coping but it isn't easy. There isn't a day go by without thinking about what happen but I am still living my life.

You said "If all this indeed true?"
Sheila admitted herself that she was molested twice at least. Also she is still working on opening that compassion center to aiding abuse children through music and art etc. Lynn also admitted she was molested too and I read when she discussions about the Family Jamm. And you can even check on the web to find interviews of Sheila and/or Lynn. They are very opened now discussing what happen to them in their childhood. Hopefully in a few years, I will feel the same.

Oh yes Sheila is indeed religious and I so glad that she is seeking comfort in her religion. She goes to church a lot and she is deeply involved in her church. I used my Universalist philophy as comfort too. Anyway, Sheila became more religious after she recovered from her illiness back in 1991. I read before she got sick and became a born-again, she was...well a different person back then let's say she was less nicer.

Yes women do turn drugs or lost self-respect or even committed suicide of what happened to them.

As for having kids....well let's just say that Oprah and I had something in common of what happened to us when we were sixteen. But anyway I don't want to be a mother right now but I am not going to say never. Only time will tell if I meant to be a mother or not. But I don't think Sheila have interest of being a mom as she so busy performing and also helping others too. Plus she is very tight with her family too. And she going to be fifty just two years away too.

I am not Sheila's spokesperson, I am just a fan here to defend my girl. I know the org is one crazy place at times but it upsets me of reading some misassumption posts on here because she doesn't have a man or turned down guys without people knowing her situation. The lady said a million times she isn't a lesbian. I don't think she would hide it because she grew up in a liberal enviroment and if she was one then she would have little problem fitting in. What does she have to do to get her point across to some? Find a man and marry him? I am not saying her past is the reason why she been single for many years but likely contributes it. And I think this tiring decade rumors needs to sqash once for all.

I look at the info u provided and so I was 100% right with my information.

Here goes additional info http://www.crosswalk.com/...41108.html SHe talked about being raped at age five and also that she molested by her cousins and neighbors. That poor lady. I am glad that she is now focus her life on God and also trying to be a good person and also doing her music. I know that change doesn't come overnight but I hope the information provided it might help to die down some of the rumors about Sheila.
