we really do not know the inside scoop of what was happening
with Tomi Rae and the God father, so it's not our place to try to decide the faith of it. The little son will be ok and taken care of. as before where was she when James needed her?
All we can think of is sueing, do that really solve anything?
She was treated ok, get over it girl. sorry scooter32 we do not know why Our brother locked her out the house. Maybe she had someone else like when he got with her, how many times have men introduced women as their wives and fiances and they was NOT??????

I agree with you. There is no telling what was going on between JB, Tomi Rae, and JB's children. I'm sure that the family will work this out, just like we, the common people work things out. After all, the Brown family, Mr. Brown, and Tomi Rae are mere humans, just like everyone else. This means that they are subject to the same human condition as everyone other human.

Maybe people should look a little deeper into the situation, being that it is in the spotlight. Evidently, they were having some problems. Why would this woman show up at the statue on Christmas night looking more foolish than ever. Trying to get James II to sing for the cameras, she should have been wherever James Brown's body was. To take it a step further, she should have been there when he took his last three breaths, along with Mr. Charles Bobbit. That is the duty of a WIFE. And let's not discuss her erratic behavior at the funeral service. Could anyone put on a better act. The probable reason for the family treating her distant is because they have a first hand account of who this waman really is and what she represents. Tomi Ray was James Brown's "sidekick", not his wife.

IF THEY WERE HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS THEN WHY DID HE PAY FOR HER TO GO ON THAT RETREAT? I TRULY BELEIVE THAT SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO MEET HIM ON CHRISTMAS DAY.SHE NEVER THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO DIE!!AND ALSO TO LET YOU KNOW SHE HAD A REASON TO ACT THE WAY SHE DID. THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE HER IN ANYTHING! SHE TOOK IT UPON HERSELF AND WENT ON HER OWN.I FOLLOWED THIS FROM THE BEGINNING. SHE WAS LEFT OUT OF THE TRIP TO THE APOLLO. SHE WENT TO NEW YORK AT HER OWN EXPENSE TO SHOW HER LOVE FOR JAMES BROWN. AND I DON'T BLAME HER AT ALL. I BE DARN IF I WOULD LET THAT HAPPEN TO ME AND MY CHILD. AND WHETHER SHE WAS HIS SIDEKICK OR NOT JAMES BROWN STILL TOOK CARE OF HER AND CLAIMED HER AS HIS WIFE! AND ALSO PLEASE LEARN HOW TO SPELL BEFORE POSTING A COMMENT NEXT TIME!!!

DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE WILL WILL BE READ.

Everyone deserves someone and it's wonderful that Tomi has you. You two should get together. Your ability to point out errors is truly AWESOME! How about using that ability to correct Tomi Rae as well as yourself. God bless Tomi Rae, America, and you. PEACE

I agree that it did look bad the way Ms Rae was treated, however, if Dr. James Brown had asked his friends to treat Ms Rae with respect they would have done so. Something happened that separated Ms Rae and Dr. Brown.

That girl knew she was already married so why in God's name would she even attempt to marry JB and knew she was married I don't feel sorry for her because most people that are really married, the wife would have all of her business in order instead of getting in the media pleading for sympathy if it wasn't about the money she would not try to be in the press or on talk shows if it's not about money. Yes if that's his son he should get his share but in case you didn't know Tomie Rae and JB had gotten an annullment. So either way she's not entitled to nothing, nothing from nothing leaves nothing. She needs to take her trifling tail and sit it down and keep her mouth shut if it's not about the money and somebody should look into to bringing her up on bigamy charges has anyone thought about that!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Sharpton didn't introduce her because nothing is in it for him.He is nothing but a scumbag that stirs up trouble to try and make him look good so the black people will send him money.

I couldn't have said it better!

I couldn't agree with you more. Tomi Rae needs to stop portraying herself as a victim. Ms. Hynie needs to cut out the nonsense before she forces a family member out of morning and really expose her for who she really is. If they don't, I WILL.

PLEASE! TOMI RAE AND HER SON DESERVED BETTER TREATMENT THAN WHAT THEY GOT!

Threats? Boy are you pathetic. Maybe someone will expose you for what you are too.You wouldn't like that, would you? Actions speak louder than words. You are in a class with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. You are the lowest trash. That child was thrown out of his home, and one day he will know and understand who did it.That is sad for a child to go through. I say Deanna is a hypocrite and a low-life.

To alee115 Amen!!You are absolutely correct!!

Did you think that maybe Mr. Brown had a change of mind about marrying Ms. Hynie, because if he didn't, I am sure that he would have made it (as you say) right.

JB KNEW.

TEANDRA3 :
YOU ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! DEANNA IS PHONY BECAUSE SHE WOULD BRING LITTLE JAMES TO CARPENTERSVILLE CHURCH WITH HER ALOT. EVEN TOMI RAE WOULD COME TO CHURCH WITH THEM. SO ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN JAMES CLOSED HIS EYES AND DIED SHE TURNED ON THEM AND ACTED LIKE SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEM. TOMI RAE HAD TO COME TO THE PRIVATE SERVICE AT CARPENTERSVILLE IN A FORD TAURUS. WHILE DEANNA AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY CAME TO THE FUNERAL IN LONG LIMOS. THEY EVEN HAD ONE EMPTY LIMO THAT TOMI RAE AND MEMBERS OF HER FAMILY COULD HAVE RODE IN! AND ALSO DEANNA SHOULD KNOW FIRST HAND HOW SHE WOULD FEEL IF HER HUSBAND DID HER THE WAY HE DID HER BEFORE. HER HUSBAND IS NO SAINT EITHER?? THEY HAVE SKELETON'S IN THEIR CLOSET TOO!

All the children looked phoney. What does keeping it real mean? Sounds like something you could interperet to mean anything.

So far it has not been what James Brown wanted. Maybe when his will is read we will all know what he wanted. I say Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are wolves in sheeps clothing.I am sure JB did not want his WIFE and son mistreated by anyone.Does anyone know what happened to the lawsuit between he and his daughter?Was that ever settled?

TO ALEE115 I AM FROM NC COULD YOU GIVE ME SOME HISTORY ON THIS LAWSUIT. WHY DID AL SHARPTON TELL TOMI DURING THE PRESENTATION OF THE DEGREE THAT YOU JUST CAN'T SATISFY YOU. YOU ALL DIDN'T SATISFY HER THE WHOLE WEEK. WHY LET HER COME ON THAT PLATFORM IF YOU WEREN'T GOING TO LET HER SPEAK. YOU HAD JESSE JACKSONS CHILDERN WALK IN RIGHT BEHIND DEANNA AND THE DAUGHTER THAT WAS THE DR. WHERE WAS THE OTHER SIBLINGS. WHY DIDNT THEY WALK IN TOGETHER AS A UNISON. THEN THE SEATING ARRANGEMENT TOMI ON ONE SIDE WITH VENISHA AND I THINK THE OTHER SON THEN DEANNNAON THE OTHER END. Matthew 12:25 SAYS
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN DIVIDED AND MUST COME TOGETHER. TO ME INSTEAD OF A HOMEGOING SERVICE IT BECAME WHO GOT THE POWER.

to iohj2400 I can't remember the details of the lawsuit, but someone had a comment asking about the lawsuit, and I remembered it was in the news awhile back. If you noticed,Tomi Rae was escorted directly to her seat.,not in the line of family members and friends that passed beside the casket.

TO JOHJ2400:
I WAS PRESENT DURING THE ENTIRE WEEK OF SERVICES. TOMI RAE WAS LEFT BEHIND WHEN THE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WENT TO NEW YORK. SHE WENT ON HER OWN TO NEW YORK TO VIEW THE BODY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LET HER SEE THE BODY IN GEORGIA. ON FRIDAY AT THE PRIVATE SERVICE TOMI RAE AND LIL JB CAME TO THE FUNERAL IN A FORD TAURUS AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY CAME IN LIMOS. ALL THE ATTENTION WAS ON DEANNA AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY. AFTER THE PRIVATE SERVICE TOMI RAE,LIL JB, AND HER BROTHER LEFT THE CHURCH GROUNDS BECAUSE NO ONE IN THE FAMILY ACKNOWLEDGED THEIR PRESENCE. THAT WAS SO EMBARRASSING TO HER AND HER SON! YOU CAN TELL DEANNA IS ALL FOR HERSELF! SHE PUT ON A FRONT! SHE WANTED ALL EYES ON HER! SHUCKS HERAND JAMES BROWN DIDN'T REALLY GET ALONG!! AND THIS FAMILY HAD BEEN DIVIDED LONG TIME AGO!! DEANNA THINKS SHE IS GOING TO TAKE THE WHOLE HOG BUT SHE IS SADLY MISTAKEN!! THAT HOUSE DON'T BELONG TO JAMES BROWN. THAT HOME BELONGS TO BUDDY DALLAS.(JB'S LAWYER). THAT'S THE MAN THEY BETTER WATCH. HE PROBABLY ROBBED JAMES BROWN BLIND WITHOUT JAMES BROWN EVEN KNOWING IT!!

TO SCOOTER32 SO THAT IS WHY THE HOUSE WAS PADLOCKED SO QUICKLY. MR DALLAS IS THE MAN WITH THE POWER A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. THE HONOARABLE THING WOULD HAVE BEEN TO HAVE TOMI RAY INVOLVED.BUT PRIDE GOT IN THE WAY. HOPE LARRY KING GIVES TOMI THE FLOOR TO DO HER THING.

JESSE JACKSON SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAST PERSON TRYING TO HANDLE SOMEONE ELSE'S BUISNESS. HE COULDN'T HANDLE HIS OWN! IF HE COULD HE WOULDN'T HAVE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE AND GOT ANOTHER WOMAN PREGNANT! THEN HID THE CHILD FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS! AND I REALLY THINK THAT IF AL SHARPTON WAS A MAN OF GOD, HE WOULD HAVE DONE RIGHT BY TOMI RAE REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION! HE WAS IN ON THE SCHEME AS WELL AS DEANNA. NOT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH TOMI RAE! AND HE HAD THE NERVE TO SAY HE'S DOING WHAT JAMES BROWN WANTED HIM TO DO! KNOWING THAT JAMES BROWN WOULDN'T HAVE WANTED HIS SON TREATED LIKE THAT! I ONCE LIKED AL SHARPTON.BUT AFTER FINDING OUT HOW HE REALLY IS, HE COULDN'T PREACH NOTHING TO ME! AL SHARPTON AND JESSE JACKSON NEED TO QUIT CALLING THEMSELVES PREACHERS. THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PREACHERS: A CALLED PREACHER AND A LICENSED PREACHER. SO THEY MUST BE LICENSED! BECAUSE A CALLED PREACHER WOULDN'T CONTINUE TO DO WRONG IN THE EYES OF THE LORD AND KNOWINGLY DOING IT!

TO ALEE115:
TOMI RAE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LAWSUIT.THERE WAS BAD BLOOD BETWEEN JAMES BROWN AND DEANNA. BUT ONCE DEANNA FOUND OUT SHE WASN'T GOING TO GET ANYTHING, SHE BACKED OFF AND USED TOMI RAE AS A WAY TO GET BACK ON JAMES' GOOD SIDE. I WATCHED THE ENTIRE SEGMENT AND MAJORITY OF THE THINGS SHE SAID RELATING TO THE ARRANGEMENTS AND THE HANDLING OF THE FUNERAL HAPPENED JUST LIKE SHE SAID IT WENT. NOW YOU CAN SEE WHY SHE DID THE THINGS SHE DID! ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS THE WIFE OF JAMES BROWN. ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO TAKE PART IN THE SERVICES. BUT REGARDLESS,ONE THING DEANNA CAN'T DO IS CHANGE THE FACT THAT LIL JB IS HERE BABY BROTHER.

scooter32, I still don't understand how she was not let back in the house.About 2 yrs ago my daughter had a roomate to help with the bills.The young woman was not doing her part, and got into drugs. My daughter told her to leave, and she threatened my daugter. The police told her that if she kicked the girl out, my daughter would go to jail.She had to file eviction notice and the girl was given weeks to move out.It was a long process. So why was Buddy Dallas able to keep Tomi Rae out of her resident? Is he above the law? Or does SC not have eviction laws? My husband and I never met James Brown, but we loved his music. We feel for his wife and young son, because when my husband's dad died, my husband was about 2 yrs old, and he and his sister and mother were kicked out of their home.It still bothers him to this day. I pray for little James and his mom.

Here in Ga it does not matter who owns the house, if a person has been living there it takes a court order to get them evicted.They can live there a few days and call it home.I watched Larry King Live last night. I also read the transcript on the website. I think JB trusted the wrong people. That woman lawyer last night said Tomie Rae was damaging his image, but I don't see it that way. JB was loved by many people, and nobody can change that no matter what they say.Tomie Rae was just telling what she wanted to tell, and that is her right.Honesty is always the best way.And I don't think the ones involved with shunning Tomie Rae and little JB know what honesty is.

To ALEE115 I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT TOMI IS SOON GOING TO BE OUT THE WAY!!! IF DALLAS CAN PROVE THERE WAS NO MARRIAGE SHE IS ALMOST LEFT WITH NOTHING. WHY NOW THE ? OF WHO LITTLE JAMES DADDY IS. WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THIS IS WHY MR. DALLAS SPOKE AT THE SERVICE & TOMI DIDNT. TO ME JAMES BROWN WAS NO MORE THAN A TENANT IN HIS HOUSE BUT HE LOST THAT WITH THE AGREEMENT WITH MR DALLAS. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT THEY HAD A GOOD IDEA THAT JAMES WAS LEAVING THIS WORLD AT THAT DENTIST OFFICE SATURDAY AND THAT GATE WAS PADLOCKED WELL BEFORE MONDAY MORNING WHEN HE PASSED. I JUST HOPE SHE IS READY FOR A HELL OF A FIGHT.

to iohj2400,I think his family has shown their true colors. It is all about the money. Last night on Larry King, Daeanna talked and acted like a high-falootin' snob.To me that is a bad way to represent her dad.I think Tomi Rae will give them a fight, and if she wins, the others will be eating crow.Al Sharpton needs to shut his mouth. Nobody wants to hear him nor Jesse Jackson.I think Larry King knew James Brown better than those two. I think Tomi Rae is smart enough to have a good lawyer. If she does lose, there is still 5 yr old James.Tomi said she knows he is James Brown's son, and that she will ok any test.The whole world is watching. I think if anyone were to hurt JB image it would be Deanna and the two wolves in sheep's clothing(Al&Jesse).Jesse Jackson is giving a scholarship to the stripper who falsely accused the Duke students of rape.I read it on Foxnews.com

ALEE115:
WE ALL READY KNOW JESSE AIN'T WORTH TWO CENTS. THE REASON HE CAN RELATE TO THIS IS BECAUSE HIS OLDER CHILDREN AND WIFE WILL BE IN THE SAME SITUATION IF HIS ASS DIE. REMEMBER HE HID THE FACT THAT HE FATHERED A CHILD WITH ANOTHER WOMAN.HE WANTED THAT WOMAN TO KEEP HIDING THAT CHILD.THE OTHER WOMAN WILL ACT THE SAME WAY TOMI RAE ACTED IF THEY TREAT HERCHILD LIKE THAT!! AND AS FOR AL SHARPTON, HE'S NOT A REAL PREACHER. A REAL PREACHER WOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED JAMES BROWN'S CHILDREN TO TREAT TOMI RAE AND LIL JB THAT WAY. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BRING THE FAMILY CLOSER TOGETHER INSTEAD OF CREATING A DIVSION AMONG THEM. HE IS JUST AS MUCH AT FAULT AS THE REST OF THE FAMILY. DEANNA HAD PROBLEMS WITH HER OWN HUSBAND WITH HIS CHEATING ASS! DEANNA OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE THE LAST ONE TREATING TOMI RAE BAD. IF IT WASN'T FOR TOMI RAE,DEANNA AND JAMES WOULD HAVE NEVER MEND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH DEANNA. IF DEANNA WANTS TO GIVE ANY ONE A DNA TEST, THEN IT SHOULD AHVE BEEN JAMES BROWN. HE HAS OTHER KIDS THAT THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO MENTION! JAMES BROWN SHOULD HAVE MADE THE SONG "PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE".

You are correct about James Brown other children. I am his daughter from Jacksonville, Florida. I have never asked for anything but respect. 36 years and I don't know his other children. I pray to God that our children meet as cousins and not lovers. I agree that Papa was a rolling stone.

I agree with you scooter32 about Mr. James Brown was a rolling stone "PAPA". Yes, he does have other children. I think all of his childrfen should take a DNA test. Including the six that he thought was his. Mama's baby, father's maybe? Rev. Sharpton knows all about them.

TO JOHJ2400:
SEE THAT'S THE THING HE MUST PROVE THAT THEY WERE NOT LEGALLY MARRIED. A CHARLESTON S.C. JUDGE RULED EARLIER THAT THE MARRRIAGE OF TOMI RAE TO THE OTHER MAN WAS ANULLED. NOW JAMES BROWN HAD ALL OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE HER IF HE REALLY WANTED TO. BUT NO HE DIDN'T COMPLETE THE ANULLMENT PAPERS BECAUSE HE WANTED TO REMAIN WITH HER.I THINK TOMI RAE IS IN IT TO WIN IT! AND FIRST OF ALL IF DALLAS WAS ANY KND OF LAWYER WHO CARED SO MUCH FOR JB AS HE CLAIMED HE WOULDN'T HAVE LET THIS GO ON. HE SHOULD'VE ADVISED JB ON THE RIGHT STEPS TO TAKETHEN INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL HE DIED! DALLAS WAS ONLY LOOKING OUT FOR HIS HOME! YES THE HOME BELONGS TO BUDDY DALLAS BECAUSE JAMES BROWN NEVER BOUGHT THE HOME BACK FROM BUDDY DALLAS. THAT'S WHY THE HOME WAS PADLOCKED!! I THINK TOMI IS GOING TO FIGHT THEM ALL THE WAY! ALL THE WOMAN WANTED WAS TO BE APART OF HER HUSBAND FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. TOMI RAE BEEN KNEW THAT JAMES WAS SICK. HE WAS BEING TREATED FOR PROSTATE CANCER AND THAT TOOK A TOLL ON HIM! I TRULY THINK BUDDY DALLAS WAS WAITNG FOR ALL THIS TO UNFOLD THAT'S WHY HE WASN'T TRYING TO ADVISE JAMES BROWN TOO MUCH. I WOULD'T BE SURPRISED IF BUDDY CAUGHT JAMES ON ONE OF HIS BAD DAYS AND CONVIENCED HIM INTO SIGNING ALL KINDS OF THINGS. DID YOU SEE THAT PART WHERE TOMI RAE SAID BUDDY WAS STEALING FROM JAMES AND ROBBING HIM BLIND? BUDDY IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN CROOKED. THAT WHO ALL OF THE FAMILY BETTER WATCH!
