This is the end of the line.No more excuses.Something extreme has to happen,or else the cycle will just keep repeating itself over and over.The main problem is....El's family can't really "intervene" since many of them have major issues/problems of their own!

El's family IS the problem. That's the killing part. What's the "cure" for most folks is the "poison" of the De Barges...family!

Yup.

El DeBarge Off the Hook After Drug Arrest

El DeBarge Off the Hook After Drug Arrest

"Rhythm of the Night" singer El DeBarge is in the clear after he was arrested for drug possession this week -- because the L.A. County D.A. has declined to file charges.

According to official D.A. documents, the case was rejected due to insufficient evidence.

TMZ broke the story ... DeBarge was arrested on Tuesday for felony possession of narcotics with intent to sell -- the singer's third drug arrest since 2001.

According to the docs, police officers noticed DeBarge and another man speaking on the street -- and for some reason, decided to search them ... without giving a reason why.

After searching them and coming up with nothing -- cops claim they perused the surrounding area ... and found a baggie of rock cocaine hidden under a nearby car.

The other man insisted he was there to buy the rock from DeBarge -- but DeBarge denied the accusation ... and the D.A. decided there wasn't enough evidence to make the charge stick.

Talk about a lucky break!

James DeBarge 2011 Arrest Details Revealed…

by Jacky Jasper

HSK Exclusive - Many of you watched the recent when the Dr. Drew’s CW network show re-broadcast the September 2011 episode, when James, Bunny, and Randy DeBarge appeared asking for help with their addictions.

Following the original appearance, all three DeBarge siblings went to a North Hollywood rehabilitation center. As noted following the re-broadcast, The former Mr. Janet Jackson, aka James DeBarge went AWOL shortly after checking into the rehab center. But, what was not revealed was that James DeBarge was arrested just a few hours later prostituting himself for drugs.

Here is what an insider revealed to me:

“Before James was popped on the gun charges he was whoring himself in the streets for crack and heroin. James was a mess! He never had any intention to get help, he needs much more than the typical rehabilitation. James has been selling his ass for drugs for years now.

His family and the few friends he has left truly believe he will not survive much longer. They rather him locked up in jail, then being on the streets.”

Is the DeBarge family one of the most dysfunctional families in the entertainment industry? Of course they are. Don’t believe me.. Just ask Joe Jackson.

@ James... to be honest it wouldn't surprise me. James actually said something to the effect of seeing Bobby in the streets getting high. I assume that if it was true, then Bobby was doing the same thing James was alleged to be doing before his arrest: prostituting himself for crack and heroin. That's exactly what led to Bobby's death.

Anyways, I hope El takes this (and James' ordeal) as a serious wake up call to get clean and...GET AWAY FROM THE FAMILY!

Those vidz of El being all suave gangsta on the mic make me feel a little and I mean I know El can get the pannies wet but dayum....I just can't handle him saying "dick" and "pussy". Sounds so crass coming from him. That long hair is a fashion don't!

Not defending him or anything (because I agree that it's crass) but El's from Detroit and he probably hung around the Abney side too long so him cussing is probably as natural as singing, fucking and smoking reefers to him...

This is why God said "No Idols" cuz it will only fuck with your head. I liked it better when El was a gentleman of distinction. I hate that he's just an ole pimp daddy. Still fione as fuck tho! Those are some good genes cuz he should be looking like road kill after all he has been through.

Yeah, El is serving two masters, that's always some danger with that. That's what his favorite artists (mainly Marvin) were doing...

El knocked up somebody at 14 years old Sweet Sweetback style (yeah I know, in Ebony he said 16, but Bunny had spilled that info long ago. I believe HER. ) so he was never such a gent as Motown and others have tried to sell him as and has always seen the skankier side of life having it's appeals. Who breaks into vending machines just for kicks? Who beats down and possibly rapes college students? This was even before the drugs became such an issue for him.

Frankly I'm not sure he's serving two masters but more caring fundamentally less than he used to about what other people think of him. In his early stardom, he cared greatly about making a good impression and it was that way when he initially came back this time. Yet the truer him eventually came out in both eras.

El might be a gent in some cases and seems to have a genuinely good heart, but he's seriously a bad mofo when crossed. That Quik and Oh Drama stuff is hm too! He might be about church and good image at times, but he's also about pussy (dick too, I wonder?) and gettin' high. He's neither one thing or the other but ALL of it.

Ok I never thought El was any kind of gay cuz I just never got that vibe from him and my gaydar is on point tyvm!

The one question that burns in my mind. and I hesitate to ask out of respect for Debarge fans (y'all go harder than those Bieber fans lemme tell you), is:

HOW DID EL SURVIVE PRISON BEING THAT DAMNED FINE? I mean really! Wouldn't Bubba an dem try and yank his ass at some point? Prison queers don't give a fuck who you are or what you did or how many friends you got, they are viscious and sexually twisted to no end.

What did you think about Bobby? Besides given the incest and the 20 years+ habit, I think it's somewhat unrealistic to think he's never been intimate w/ a male...be it by choice or not. I suspect El is a person of extremely low boundaries. He's clearly as addicted to sex as much as drugs, IMHO.

I think El and the other brothers had "challenges" in jail. Unfortunately both his looks and fame probably attracted all kinds of stuff...he even talked a bit about this himself concerning guards. Being real here, I think either they faced it w/ pragmatism or they were forced to face it. He was probably well prepared for anything given that Bobby, Chico, and Tommy all did time before El did.

(Was that tactful?! )

I must be honest and say that I find the long hair and the sensual raunchy side of El extremely hot! He and Quik did some smooth beats together...some of his best work IMHO. I also think he's showing us what the cute bow ties hid back in 1983!

I know where you're coming from, but I'm not sure El could survive another prison stint. He's tough enough, but something tells me he couldn't do another stretch.

Frankly I'm even more worried about James and Marty (whose got a case in Hawaii IIRC).

I wondered about the same thing... (and when he was in prison and I would read about him, those thoughts would cross my mind, and I would just close my eyes and shake my head. I seriously thought he would come out a mess because he is so damn pretty).

But, he said that he would do other kinds of favors... perform for someone's party etc. Anything to stay safe. He actually addressed this issue.
