I had absolutely no intention of watching this. Especially since this is over 66 minutes long. And yet here we are 67 minutes later and I’m writing you after watching it . I didn’t even notice the time going by. You created another excellent and thoughtful video. Thank you 🙏🏿
@@phillinsogood Yeah, and being misunderstood and lied on to the whole world. Wouldn't doubt she's been heckled in public by fans, similar to how the woman who started TLC gets treated, but not as bad.
You did a damn good job of telling LaTavia’s story. She was one of my favorite Destiny’s Child members growing up. I always wish her nothing but the best 💕
I SAID THE SAME THING!! OMG I told my husband her mama should have cut that interview short right after that. Like why not “what’s your favorite subject at school
Chile i came here to type n ask the very same thing cause wtf makes you think this is okay!!!!!????? But they see our children as adults anyway which is vile
I really feel for Latvia. The fact that she gets so close to finishing a project and then just leaves it is a trauma response. Like that intense fear that it won't be liked or torn down can be debilitating. And then for pretty much the same thing to happen decades later is heartbreaking.
Yes. This is the same thing I got from watching this. It's not about "omg,Beyonce is so fake! I never liked her!" 🤦🏽♀️ It's deeper than that. Much deeper.
Latavia was my favourite. Loved her personality and her hair. She wasn’t the best vocalist in the group but she was the most interesting in my opinion.
I appreciate all of the time, dedication, attention, and love that you put into giving us these stories. Beyonce is a horrible person. She and her family disrespected and misused those young ladies so that she could be on top, and it is a damn shame. I wish LaTavia nothing but continued Peace and Blessings!!
Facts ‼️💯🙌🏾 I say this all the time …. Or may be Letoya Luckett instead of Michelle Williams in the group …. I wonder 💭 how that line up would have been …🤔
My heart was so broken when they broke up 😩 I remember reading the Sister to Sister magazine interview that LaTavia and LeToya did right after the break up, and I kept hoping that the group would make amends and get back together.
Matthew pulled a corporate America move, and scheduled appearances without Lavia and Toya - just so he could use that as leverage to get them fired for not showing up. He was diabolical. But it’s nothing HR isn’t doing to people, to this day😬
She grew up a people pleaser, probably because of her childhood. I don’t want to get into the psychology aspect of it but she probably had a fear of abandonment. I suggest you watch Jeury’s Kelly Rowland video if you haven’t already. RL from next gave some insight about how he knew Kelly could sing, but was just so comfortable singing background , so on writings on the wall, he convinced Matthew and some other producers to let her sing lead on a song and she came through on now that she’s gone. She always speaks up for other people when they wont do the same thing for her.
You did such an INCREDIBLE job on this. I hope LaTavia gets to see this documentary. As a Day 1 fan and Houston native, LaTavia has always been my heart. 13 mins in your documentary and I was teary eyed. She’s been through hell and back, and my prayers have always been that God would bless her immensely. Always rooting for her in any endeavors she chooses to pursue. // Documentary requests: Quindon Tarver and Ashley ‘Tamar’ Davis (the member of Girls Tyme who LeToya Luckett replaced ~ she went on to do great things as well). I love how in depth you go and your attention to details. One of the most accurate docs I’ve seen on UA-cam. And thanks for the shoutout at the end!
beautifully done. La'Tavia's story is one of true strength and resilience, it's deeply inspiring. it's always great hearing from you, Jeury! thank you & have a blessed week 🤍
This is very well documented, you did an excellent job. UA-cam is full of trash videos, but yours is full of hard work, hours of finding and putting together material in a very comprehensive maner. I never knew her story and I can relate so much just from also being a scorpio.
They got guardianship of Kelly Rowland at age 11 y/o- bcz of one parent, her mother work schedule, making it difficult for demanding group practices to and from, travel, and performances - she moved in with Beyoncé’s family bcz her father and manager Matthew Knowles had acquired ownership of the group name Destiny Child, and had total management- initially he wanted legal guardianship of all under age DC members, thank goodness it didn’t happen!
Although she may feel that things did not work out the way she planned, God made sure she dodged a bullet. Looking at what we now know in November 2024, sis you came out the champion. Rejoice!
I can tell you had a genuine love for who Latavia is, her core personality and strength and inner beauty. How she gives back to others without fanfare. While other stars will fall, she will rise. She has found resolution and rectification. She is a gem molded under the strongest pressures and endures as a philosophers stone.
Oh man! “Just for me” commercial brought back so many memories. That interviewer that asked “what kind of boys do you like?” Was so inappropriate and very telling of the industry. Gross.
I don't feel sorry for her, I feel inspired by her. She's multi-talented, intelligent, and beautiful. She's been put through endless pain and difficulty, yet she's never stopped trying. That's a true star!
Latavia is simply stunning. She looked even more stunning to me when I saw her strong bubbly personality. Due to current events unfolding for the world to see, Latavia and Latoya actually both dodged some big bullets!😳
Well Latavia got the last laugh Matthew ended up fired by all the members included his daughter. Im still rooting for Latavia and her healing. I watched her Carlos King interview and she still seem kind of hurt. We need a Destiny's Child reunion tour 2025❤❤❤❤
I love LaTavia I think she's really pretty 😍😍 I love her specially her iconic red hair ❤❤ I'm heartbroken of what she went through. but I truly adore, respect, & support her.
Hi Juery, I enjoyed watching a documentary on Latavia. Her and Latoya don’t get enough credit for their contributions to Destiny’s Child. Latavia is talented too. Prayers for her. ❤
This was good it made me go back and realize that Mathew Knowles was a ruthless and shady business man i had no idea that he wasn't the original manager of the group. I just remembered that the only way Beyonce could redeem herself was to go solo. That's when i started listening to her music and felt alright with it not really remembering the very beginning of Destiny's child. She should've continued rapping and acting. Her path was ordained and she definitely has a testimony. Im actually very proud of her❤😊
I love this, it’s also shows a pattern of beyonce. She’s been blocking peoples careers for ages. I see beyonce more clearly. She has always wanted to get to the top by any means necessary, but I think we are going to see her karma play out real soon.
I was a big DC fan back then at 15. They did not fool me when SMN dropped 😂. I immediately knew Toya and Tavia wasn't in that video at all because I kept thinking I was missing them. I used the DVR to rewind and everything looking for my other girls. Smh. I'm still mad the original DC broke up to this day and I'm 40 now 😢.
@@tashinapatterson9128 y'all really be saying anything....... there were so many female artists who were also successful at that time like Alicia keys but BEYONCÉ is the one y'all obsessed with..
Beyonce was always a mean girl and Kelly was always a follower. The way Beyonce cut her eyes at Kelly and said “let’s cut that over. Don’t say her name, sorry” and Kelly responded “yea. You’re right” Smh
Right! Then afterwards she started to lose confidence and that outspoken person became mild. People can see your spark before you and they will do anything to dismiss it.
Latavia was always a star. I remeber when DC came out all the guys loved Latavia. The Smart Guy episode with them was my favorite. I might still have it recorded on tape somewhere ❤
Unpopular opinion: I didn't care for Beyonce back in the day. She was pretty, but she didn't stand out to me like that. Her voice was average. I always preferred Kelly's voice. As far as looks, Latavia was it for me.
Exactly. Latavia was my favorite! Kelly is a follower and Toya is cool. Met her before and she is really cool but to me just a buffer. Latavia was everything. Bey is a spoiled brat that has a deep wotch spirit. People love to worship any and everything but who created them
I feel like Latavia & Letoya deserve soooo much more honor & respect for being the Founding members of DC!!!!
It’s amazing finding out Latavia was responsible for finding Kelly for this group!!
A grown man asking a 10 year old “what kind of boys do you like” is the devil’s work. You could tell she was uncomfortable
Latavia is very gorgeous
Absolutely
Always ❤
@@MrEOM41 thinking the same thing 🥰😍
Omg!!! Latavia is the Just For Me Girl on the box.. I’m blown away.. she was the most talented one and they skated off with her swag 😮
I never knew that's crazy star from the start ❤
Right!!!!...skated on off..wow!
@@tonyabonds9234 what??
@@tonyabonds9234 okay.
Daaaamn….. So Latavia was the beginning star! I had no idea until watching this.

@@cpj80 yesss!
She was so full of life in her earlier interviews she seems like a shell of herself now that experience became very traumatic for her 😢
I agree. She endured a lot of pain & disappointment
@@phillinsogood Yeah, and being misunderstood and lied on to the whole world. Wouldn't doubt she's been heckled in public by fans, similar to how the woman who started TLC gets treated, but not as bad.
@@neknek4121 I Agree. But By The Grace Of God She Didn't End Up Like Florence Ballard Of The Supremes.
Beyonce showed her true colors in those interviews when she was discussing Letoya & Latavia. And Kelly was sitting right there agreeing 😒
I always loved Latavia in the group! The original DC was a beautiful group!
You did a damn good job of telling LaTavia’s story. She was one of my favorite Destiny’s Child members growing up. I always wish her nothing but the best 💕
She really is so well spoken and good at articulating herself.
Latavia and Toni Braxton both have the sultry voice
Why would a grown man be asking a 10 year old girl what type of boys does she like? So weird!
They also 🤔 it was okay to tickle us
I SAID THE SAME THING!! OMG I told my husband her mama should have cut that interview short right after that. Like why not “what’s your favorite subject at school
I said the same thing.
Chile i came here to type n ask the very same thing cause wtf makes you think this is okay!!!!!????? But they see our children as adults anyway which is vile
OK but how about yours sick as questions 🤔 make you feel uncomfortable 😮
I love your storytelling!! You made me feel Latavia's heart and I really want her to win big❤❤
Yes, this is quality work
This is FIRST time I have heard the TRUTH with this much detail. Thank you!!!!
Latvia is so beautiful 😍😍😍thank you for sharing light on her journey
I really feel for Latvia. The fact that she gets so close to finishing a project and then just leaves it is a trauma response. Like that intense fear that it won't be liked or torn down can be debilitating. And then for pretty much the same thing to happen decades later is heartbreaking.

Yes I spent 1 hour 6 minutes of my life watching this and don’t regret it one bit.
Latavia was my favourite. Loved her personality and her hair. She wasn’t the best vocalist in the group but she was the most interesting in my opinion.
The just for me commercials had me singing the jingle back in the day
To be kicked out the group was such a blessing in disguise for her!! Bc the industry is just soooo demonic
Exactly
Amennnnnnnnn
DC was the definition of a toxic workplace mixed in with the high school hot girl type bullies 😮
I appreciate all of the time, dedication, attention, and love that you put into giving us these stories. Beyonce is a horrible person. She and her family disrespected and misused those young ladies so that she could be on top, and it is a damn shame. I wish LaTavia nothing but continued Peace and Blessings!!
Her voice was truly a beautiful low range.. had a TLC ring to it.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing...
I love how LeToya Luckett just kept showing up for herself ❤😊
I wish we could live in a reality where the original destiny’s child never broke up 😢
Facts ‼️💯🙌🏾 I say this all the time …. Or may be Letoya Luckett instead of Michelle Williams in the group …. I wonder 💭 how that line up would have been …🤔
Yes! I loved the original DC ❤❤❤
Beyonce and her family did this so wrong. Shameful. Beyonce is so similar to her husband jay ! He did the same thing. He taught her !!
My heart was so broken when they broke up 😩 I remember reading the Sister to Sister magazine interview that LaTavia and LeToya did right after the break up, and I kept hoping that the group would make amends and get back together.
Matthew pulled a corporate America move, and scheduled appearances without Lavia and Toya - just so he could use that as leverage to get them fired for not showing up. He was diabolical. But it’s nothing HR isn’t doing to people, to this day😬
Kelly was such a “Yes Man”… Geesh!
She still is ....Like When She defended Chris Brown When they was booing him at tge Ama's She's a Pick Me
I’m so glad someone said it. Kelly triggers me so bad 🥴
That's exactly why she gets no respect!!
That’s exactly why
Her solo career didn’t move like Beyonce cause she stayed in the back
She grew up a people pleaser, probably because of her childhood. I don’t want to get into the psychology aspect of it but she probably had a fear of abandonment. I suggest you watch Jeury’s Kelly Rowland video if you haven’t already.

God bless LaTavia Roberson. She looks better and stronger than ever!🙏🏾
Michelle never seemed to like how they talked about the other girls. I respect that.
Maturity is realizing that’s the “Knowles” where the problem! From top to bottom 😂😂
Chile we always known Latoya and Latavia could sing. And still can.
Y'all remember the " Just for Me" kit came with the cassette tapes 😂😂😂😂
I use to record music from the radio over those tapes 😂😩 good ol days
Yup! My mom still got some that was recorded over lol
😂😂😂😂😂Yeeesss!!!!
Yes!! 😂
Her success came in her healing, nothing could break this woman down!!!!! Shes Gods child
At least she didn't have to sell her soul Latavia the real winner
🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️
Of course she did..
Wow, I was today’s years old when I found out that was Latavia in the just for me commercial 😮
Me too!!! I was happy as hell to sing the jingle in the commercial though. I loved that commercial and also have PTSD from relaxers 😂
Me too and I sang and rap with her growing never knowing it was her! Lol
Me too
That *JUST FOR ME* commercial takes me back🙂
Me too lol ..my mama couldn’t get the tape out fast enough! 😂😂these girls will never experience that smh

Didn't know she was a Just For Me" Girl‼️WOW ‼️‼️‼️‼️💕💕💕
latavia is a perfect example of a light that was dimmed briefly just to outshine others. Her story is so inspiring 🫶🏽❤❤❤❤💯
Kelly Rowland was so weak for Bey and was stuck up her a$$. She couldn’t ever speak up for herself, she was like a scared puppy.
She rode with her family who raised her since she was 11 years old. I expect nothing less
@@bloop8051She should feel comfortable speaking up for herself, if they were so close.
Have you heard dirty laundry. Mind you her mom was poor and they adopted her ?! Stand up to who ? She had to survive

I bet she’s thankful she dodged those Diddy parties
This was an awesome! Thank you for showcasing her in a positive light. I’m sure she would appreciate this as well.
Beyonce need to give them both a million dollars ! Because if them you are ! And it was actually Latavia group !! And she was the spokes person wow
WHOA Bills, Bills, Bills was JUST blasting in the grocery store I went to tonight!
Glad to see your back. 🤗

Right!!

Me either. I’m so grateful.
This is lesson we can learn to keep going nothing stops the show
This deserves a five-star award.
How can they exclude her like that but she was the founder of the group 😮. All love for Latavia ❤❤🎉
Excellent work. Very rare to see such a well researched presentation. 🎉🎉
I love these documentary level deep dives on so many niche celebrities. I can tell you do so much research.
They are so lucky all of this happened way before social media. Because the internet would’ve had a filed day with this
Beyonce is lucky there was no social media. Everyone was dragging her back then, she was being mean and shady.

So she was the one who introduced Kelly and latoya to Knowls family. Thats crazy that she responsible for the core members
Not Letoya she only introduced Kelly…Beyoncé brought in Letoya
Very well done. Latavia IS the real 🎶Survivor 🎶 of the group.
Lativia stemmed to be the most outspoken of the group like she was the face of the group
