Edward is strung out on drugs and alcohol, openly gay and infected with AIDS and has resented his mother for years because he was molested by her ex-husband, actor Glynn Turman, when he was younger
Man Col. Taylor molested her son
that name
That's why it was so perplexing when people were trying to clown Aretha when she suggested she wanted Halle Berry to play her. Aretha was NEVER ugly. She may have gained weight but she was never unattractive.Aretha was bae af back in the day:
we don't elaborate in Harlem
but you cool tho
*Born in Memphis, Tenn. Aretha Louise Franklin was born March 25, 1942. Her family moved to Detroit when she was 2.
*Her mother, Barbara, abandoned the family when she was 6, then died a few years later leaving Aretha, her sister's Carolyn and Erma, and brothers Cecil and Vaughan to be raised by their bible-thumping father, a prominent preacher Rev. Clarence Le Vaughan Franklin.
*She has 4 sons, by 4 different men: Clarence( who she got pregnant with at 14, rumored to be her father Rev. C.L. Franklin's child), had Edward two years later, Ted Jr. and KeCalf.
*Dropped out of high school and often left her kids with relatives while she chased men and pursued her musical career.
*Was a victim of incest and domestic violence(husband ted White was her manager who beat the hell out of her. He makes Ike look like Cliff Huxtable.
* Rev. C.L. Franklin fornicated with gospel singer Clara Ward for many years and was good friends with Rev. James Cleveland(a closeted gay pedaphile preacher who molested dozen of his young male church members and infected many with AIDS before he died with the disease himself in 1991).
* In 2003, her second oldest son, Edward Franklin, was under investigation for setting fire to one of her mansions in Bloomfield township, MI when police discovered him smelling of smoke and found traces of flame acclerant on his clothing close the scene of the crime. The arson charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence and because Aretha, her friend/employee/former fire chief, and Edward's lover George West wouldn't cooperate with the police and prosecutors. It is a well-known rumor that Edward is strung out on drugs and alcohol, openly gay and infected with AIDS and has resented his mother for years because he was molested by her ex-husband, actor Glynn Turman, when he was younger.
* Her father was arrested for marijuana possession, was indicted for tax evasion and was under federal invesstigation for alleged ties to a major drug ring in Miami.
Although they claimed that their intent was to rob him for some expensive windows in his home, the guys who broke into his home and shot him were actually there to rob him for his $$ and dope, but he was at home at the time and exchanged gunfire with his assailants that night in 1979. He was shot in the knee and groin, lapsed into a coma where he remained for 5 years until his death in 1984(same year that Marvin Gaye died). When the police collected evidence from the scene of the crime, they found a closet full of porn and $10,000 hidden in the good Rev's home.
* Although she has a personal net worth of $20 million, she has been sued numerous times for back taxes, not paying her employees and running up thousands if $$ in tabs and stiffing the bill.
*This autobiography "From These Roots" was highly anticipated, but was a major disappointment because it didn't reveal much about her personal life and covered up a lot of scandal regarding her dysfunctional upbringing, abusive, volatile marriages, many love affairs(most famous one was with Sam Cooke), numerous celebrity fueds, shady facts surrounding her father's death, financial troubles, etc.
Halle Berry before the nose job looked enough like her to play her in a biopic. None of them cats in the temptations movie looked they counterparts either.
you know this argument was sassy as fukk
Hold up hold up.
The colonel on a Different World was married to Aretha Franklin and molested her son?
