right after i say it too. See i knew my gut was right. LA Reid has always been an attention hoe. He probably revealed more in the preview than what you actually read in the book.
Hmm...who else haven't we talked about in this thread? Need to make a list
I don't think any of us discussed Chaka Khan. Doesn't she have a sister also in the music industry? I wonder how their relationship is. People don't bring up drugs everyone knows Chaka used to do it and she has owned up to it.
I know this is blasphemous to say but i heard extra stuff about MLK and his infidelities which we have heard the talk of before. But i also learned that people in those days actually knew about it in the streets and that the rumors were of no shock. What did shock me though was that "allegedly" people said pics were taken of him sometimes with a white woman or two
Most of yall in this thread don't know this but Martin Luther King SR back in the day wrote a book where he discussed how his son almost was gonna marry a white woman and they had to speak to him long and hard about not doing that. I'm not making this up google it yourself. this is one thing that isnt just heresay. his own father said that.
That being said thecoli.com don't get what i said out of context and say im insulting him cause im not and most people knew of the rumors of affairs already. i doubt coretta cared that much honestly and she likely knew the deal
we all know women in those days put up with it more. people say cause women had less rights then and did not have a choice but i don't think that is the case necessarily especially since she and martin had paper and she was successful in her own right. as cheesy as this sounds and as much as we joke about it she likely really did do it for "the greater good" and she did not want to cause drama in the public eye especially for the enemy to be satisfied about king being "exposed".
i also think in those days women put up with it cause the man could afford to have multiple families. nikkas today can barely afford to handle one chick.
But basically Martin had an active hotel account at the Old Ambassador Hotel in LA where he had alot of his hoes and yes many of them were white.
