stop

this is the first time i've heard the rumor about turman and aretha's oldest son. the version i heard (from an acquaintance of mine who briefly dated someone related to aretha - yeah i know, flimiser than even "a friend of a friend") had to do with james cleveland allegedly having sex with clarence and also allegedly infecting him with hiv.

the rumor about aretha's father also allegedly being the father of her oldest son has been doing the rounds for years. for a while there were also some claims that the father of her second son was a friend of her father's. i've heard so much s**t about ree ree's personal life that even if only 10% of this is actually true, it's no wonder she's f***ed up in her head. my friend also worked briefly with aretha and then swore never to do so again, calling ree ree a grade A c**t and a bitch diva from hell. but if she did have such a troubled personal life as is alleged by all the rumors, i can almost understand. poor woman! let her eat if she wants to. maybe food makes her forget whatever it is she's trying to suppress.

Church's is a bucket of grease, along with Golden Bird Chicken. KFC's skin is too soggy. Popeyes chicken has the perfect crunch! I could eat their chicken, fries and biscuits all day!

Oh please Church's chicken got the best corn on the cob! And Lee's Chicken is way better than fake ass KFC. Don't get caught up in that hype of "grilled chicken"...I heard they just draw the grill lines on the chicken to make it look like it was grilled. Don't believe the hype. Bojangles is better than KFC too...basically any other chicken chain is better than KFC IMO.

^^preachin' the gospel

Damn, I'm glad I'm on the prince board, cuz I would never have heard about these stories until maybe i was 30 or something. If even half this is true than well, Aretha deserves her comfort foods.

i had sorta heard down through the years about her having trouble. there is something about black men from back in that day tho...thats where the movie needs to be made...james cleveland, cl franklin, rev ike....where does that psychotic superior behavior come from?? to the point it fucks up two or three generations of children!!??

i loved glynn turman too (cooley high) she shoulda just been gay wit the mufukka (way before she caught his dumb ass in the bed tho)

that shyt will keep the weight off ya ass wont it??? ...

oh well, going to find my tuesday .89cent popeyes deluxe..

yeah clear that up lol


if i am GETTING where you are getting at (or at least TRYING to) the part of the answer could be found in this.


After centuries of slavery and emasculating and humiliating black men. they found respect, honor, and order in african american church (and at home). in the one place where they were regarded as men and not "boys" maybe it got to them a little bit. i dont know.


tried to help you out.

That's EXACTLY why I backed away from this thread.

I rather have my mama's chicken. Any fast food chicken restaurant makes me sick. I'm sure Ree-Ree don't even eat there as much as we'd like to think. She's likely to eat her own food as either you or someone pointed out.
