where was she when he needed her? tough luck. I think
the young son should be taken care of and forget about the
GOLD DIGGER THAT CLAIMS SHE IS HIS WIFE.

How do you know she is a gold digger?You jealous?

Someone please request a DNA

That is totally right, I do agree with you. And Mr James seemed to love this woman, doesn'he ? ... and there is little James Junior, so cute !!!!

DNA please

If you watch or read the news,you would know Tomie Rae was away for medical treatment.James Brown had a dentist appointment, not open heart surgery.You think only black women have good marriages?I am white and I speak from 40 yrs of experience. My husband and I take care of each other.

If you saw her televised interview with cnn she stated she was simply on vacation because she was stressed....when he was first admitted to the hospital her place as the "so-called" wife should have been to get on the first thing smoking to be by his side. Funny how when word of his passing she breaks her neck to get into his house but didn't break a sweat to be at his bedside!!! Come on now think about it she has a house she occupied a few blocks down the street..you do the math. I don't blame his daughter's one bit she has no place other than for her 5 year old. If you asked me she has used his death for publicity. She just needs to clean the dirt from her fingernails and put away the shovel.

Publicity? For God's sake she was married to the man. She breaks her neck to get in his house? It is her house too. You pass judgement on her because she is white. You know James Brown loved everyone no matter what color they were. All you hypocrites, including Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, can never be in the same class as James Brown. He loved God and all people.I hope his wife gets everything he left.

First of all he did not leave behind a WIFE. I am sure that you and others are hoping the for same thing. That is what it was all about from day one with her. I put nothing past Ms. Hynie. I hope she gets what she deserves. NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For crying out loud! Tomi Raye married James Brown. There maybe some technicalties on whether the 1st marriage was over. But she had a son by the man. And they were together since 2001.
She deserves to be treated MUCH BETTER by Al Sharpton & the Black community!

I am a Black man. My 1st wife was a pretty Black woman with 3 Black kids 4, 5 & one almost 7 when I married her. She had been a profressional singer with a great commercial voice(no records). Eleven months after we married we had our own son (who's 19 YO now). She was 10 years younger than me and didn't know how to behave and after 3 1/2 years we divorced.
So DON'T even think of putting me down for marrying a White woman as my 2nd wife.

My 2nd wife was a White Southern Belle from Dallas,TX with 2 grown children in their early 30s. Not as pretty as the 1st wife but she was way pretty enough for me. Her kids & family also liked & respected me like there was NO DIFFERENCES.
She treated MUCH BETTER than my 1st wife & I enjoyed the marriage much more than the 1st.
But due to other reasons, such as personality differences, and NO VIOLENCE nor ADULTERY, we divorced after 2 1/2 years. Nothing to do with race.

Don't put Tomi Raye down because she's White. JB & her loved each other.

BTW, JB had been involved with other his young Black female up & coming singers back way back in the 60s & 70's. One was named Tami Montgomery who left the James Brown Show and went to Motown and became Tami Terrell who had some good singles of her own before teaming up with Marvin Gaye.

While watching he CNN TV SHOW funeral I and my father really got PISSED OFF when Tomi Raye was looking at her ex husband in the casket some hecklers were shouting for her to "get off the stage".

That's really NO CLASS. It reminded me of Correta King's funeral when REV what's his name Louwry(?) stared talking about poor people & the Iraq War while President Bubbya & Barbara Bush were in attendance there. As I recall when former Prez Clinton came up he said words to to effect "to put our differences aside".

Prez Clinton had to put these low class chitlin eating Black folkes in there places. Corretta King's funeral is NO PLACE
for politics or to berate the current president.

JB & Tomi Raye loved each other and she has his son. Be nice to her. She deserves something. Forget the fact that she's White. It doesn't matter!.

So my brothers & sistas DON'T send me NO NASTYGRAMS about my being an UNCLE TOM or OREO COOKIE. I've heard it too many times before. It won't change the way I think.
I'm a BLACKMAN WHO THINKS FOR HIMSELF!

Why don't you try asking Tomie where she really was. Who knows, she just might be out of her wits and tell you the truth.
