Rumors,feuds,and scandals from Old Black Hollywood

[@OffHalsted]

#AGonIGSoapbox:When I first met Smokey as a little kid, he was extremely gracious to My Mother and that’s something I’ll never forget. So when I became of age and walked into a room where he was “holding court”, the first words I heard out of his mouth to his homie was, “Ni*** F*** You!”, to which everyone started laughing. It was related to Me that William Robinson aka “Smokey” was a Street dude that just happened to make it as a singer. Smokey has been the most constant “Sex Symbol” Black America has ever known and in turn its gotten him into A LOT of problems. It’s saw his wife of 27 yrs., Claudette, divorce him in ‘86 only after he had amassed a fortune of $300 Million. (You see why she never remarried. She got THE ) In the 1970s, My neighborhood Ladera Heights was home to most of the Black Athletes and Entertainers before many of them absconded for Beverly Hills and the Valley. Every year during those times, they had a tennis tournament that was covered by the Black Press like Ebony and Jet. One year the still very married Smoke attended and spotted a young girl that he just had to have and exchanged numbers with her. Within a week he was lavishing her with expensive gifts and even going as far as picking her up from the school she attended, Dorsey High in his silver Rolls Royce. It’s caused so much of an uproar that she had to drop out of 10th grade. Endless shopping sprees, her own Rolls, Benz and Jag to go with her own condo in Brentwood. She was presented as Smokey’s “assistant”. But it came with a cost as the married Smoke had her terminate her pregnancy. For her 29th bday, she thought she and Smoke were headed to Hawaii to celebrate. When he showed up at the condo she opened the door packed and ready to go, excited that she and Smoke were jumping on a plane. When he stepped aside, she got the shock of her life. Smoke revealed his NEWER, YOUNGER & PRETTIER AND VERY PREGNANT “Assistant” and told the original one she had to move because the new one needed a place to stay! So at 29, she was kicked to the curb with $50K in LV luggage and nowhere to go. She moved back home and let people know her EBONY EYES were filled with tears caused by a clown...

She's an attractive woman. Terrible weave/wig though.

I'm not saying she is lying or telling the truth, but the story comes off a little sketchy.

So listening to Hot 97 rundown of Rza vs DJ Premier and they went over the lyrics of Rza produced song for Notorious B.I.G. "Long Kiss Goodnight", which starts with the infamous

• "I make your mouthpiece obese like Della Reese"
• Rosenberg looks up picture of Della Reese, clearly in her older days, and makes a joke..cornball ass.

Anyway, I look her up myself, and see of course pics of what I remember her as originally, when I first got to know her which was "Touched by an Angel " TV show on CBS back in the mid 90s...and yes indeed...she was big boned...I only remember her as big boned upper middle aged/senior woman

Then I see this picture from her younger days like ....she was hella attractive in her young woman days.

Even before she ballooned up, she was nice looking middle aged lady.

That's my comment.

Question is who was dealing with Young Della back in her hey day?? What was she up to??
