James Brown's Daughter Shares Her Story Of Domestic Violence | MadameNoire
this isn't just a racial issue. I grew up in Italian dysfunctional family in which transgenerational drama is passed down. my father tried to strangle my mother and I had to knock him out. it was to the point where my mother was afraid to be alone :(
Lorettamarie G tell me about it. In Asia, Too much abuse. Child abuse, animal abuse, female abuse.....
Salute to you for doing something about that. I wish someone in my family had the balls to do that. I come from an African American family. The stuff I`ve had to deal with is unreal and instead of someone stepping in. All I get is excuses and victim blaming.
Same thing in Czechia. It's in the human race, the nation doesn't matter.
Awwwwl😩I'm so sorry. God bless you and your mom.😢 I pray you and her are doing alright.💕
You are so right! Many are in denial about the fact that, we are all human beings first!
There seems to be a lot of people in denial about James Brown being an abusive wife beater. There are police records documenting his domestic abuse. James also beat the singer Tammi Terrell when she was under-aged. He dated her when she sang in his Revue in the early 1960s. There are witnesses who saw him beat her. James was talented and I enjoy his music but people should be aware that he was a very troubled man with a history of violence and drug abuse. His daughter is a beautiful and smart lady. I'm glad she's not afraid to be honest about her legendary father.
Bri nln yes this is right
Bri nln I agree. I have known women that was abusive and their family members knowing that this man is abusive and are in denial.
Bri nln thank you
Bri nln Well, either way the man's passed on now so it's time to let the past be just that. He was definitely a great entertainer & that's all that matters to me.
@@folksbell5817 well said!
A lot of respect for the person who is able to stop a cycle of abuse.
Don't stop talking about it Dr Brown. So many people need help with these issues and to hear it from a "veteran" is important.
whiskey papa
whiskey papa No, stop talking about it Dr. Brown. We had Ike Turner, so we had enough examples of what domestic violence is.
I didnt know he had a daughter....She's very pretty.
He has several daughters with different women
@@Sheisneika0976 oh wow🤦
Very Pretty
@@Sheisneika0976 do you have any kids?
What has the fact that she female got to do with anything, is it relevant ?
The daughter turned out okay. His children have decided to end the cycle of violence. More power to you - writing a book
He beat Tammi Terrell horribly. He was a hateful man.
I blv James brown despised women because of what his mother done to him
Plus, a part of James Brown life,
He grew up in his Aunt's Brothel/ho house.
So he saw women being sex objects.
And his father beat his mother.
James Brown had demons
what his mother did huh
Anedra Moss she left him. And when she saw him with a dude she was with, denied that was her child in front of him
@@Mcraz05 that was cold , it broke my heart ...I felt sorry for his mom .. not James he was a survivor. RIP.
@@Mcraz05 That’s inaccurate. That’s just the dramatic version from the movie. In actuality she fleed because she wanted to get away from her husband who was beating her ass. She wanted to take her son with her but he threatened to kill the both of them if that happened. So she left by herself. James browns second wife finally reunited them.
Great interview She is a very smart independent woman
Please mothers and fathers, let's all raise our sons and daughters with letting them know the signs of abuse, and it's not OK to give it or take it. We have an obligation to our community.
I talk to all 3 of my daughters, (since they were in elementary school), about how it's not OK if a boy even talks to them derogatory, cussing, saying "shut-up", etc; abuse doesn't have to be hitting, and often times physical violence ends up in the mix, after it starts out with verbal abuse.
Also talked to them about when they are teens, dating one day, that suggestions that they should quit something they love/are good at, making negative comments about the way they look, etc, are all signs of an abusive relationship.

She's amazing!! Unbelievable getting a Ph.d at 23, omg! God bless her for her courage. So glad she turned out so well; a gift to the world. I want to know more about her and the light she's shining on domestic violence.
James Brown was a talented monster...talented...yet, a full fledged MONSTER.
Agree, but people don't want to believe, because of his fame and talent.
When there,s no camera, the monster awakes. 👹
This is true.
I love the fact that she is a part of his legacy.
You're courageous. Such a beautiful woman. I enjoyed watching this video. I love her honesty. Kudos!!!
Greatness always seems to run through the worst people
This is sick and everybody like to make excuses
he beat up Tammi Terrell backstage for no reason
So true. His was a very talent but angry man!
This is Mr. Brown's daughter without a doubt
Very eloquent and articulate. I’m def going to read you book.
You're so beautiful and intelligent - thank you for sharing your story.
She's wonderful! James Brown beat those women bad.
I feel James Brown wanted a clean house, hot cooked food, true love, the things women who are married is to give when married, and not just shopping all the time, no offense. Peace.
Inspirational word and you know because you were there when it happened? Lol
@@troymackenzie1232 I know. Isn't it sad how people think like that and feel it's alright?😢
@@lorainisrael3674 ....Excuse you???
lorain isra el that made no sense . No ones needs to give that when they are married. Also that does not give anyone a reason to be abusive
Dr. Yamma Brown you turned out to be a wonderful lady. your dad was more than a Legend.
He was an outstanding person who lived thru the most difficult times. and he did whatever he could against violence and racism. He was truly one kind.
Thank you Dr Brown!!! the public need to know the price many of their celebrities and idols "pay to play". fame and riches can be very poisonous. few escape unscathed from the craziness.
am 23 and i like james brown because my grandfather always listens and talk about james brown. sometime listens to him when i be in the funk move
Thank you for sharing and educating us. God Bless!
AMEN
Yeah, he was abusive toward his wives and he dated Tammy Terrell too and then he hit her in head. And I believe she had a tumor before she died. Andy treated women awful because his mom left him is such a early age, so it seem like me you despise women.
I don't like the fact about they didnt show Adrienne his wife in the film 😭😭
Im wondering why she wasn't portrayed in the movie!! At 1st I thought that who Jill Scott was portraying her.
The movie can only be so long lol
@@marquitashiver6141 yea but Adrienne was an important wife she was there when he went to jail and was in his life for a amount of years
James Brown daughter looks so much like her dad whom was a good person but his earlier demons came out through his life. One has to realize that it is people and not things that makes people happy. Motherly love and the absence of it keeps people searching for that that only hurt is the fulfillment of that unhappiness. DPitts
If a man who beats every woman he’s in a relationship is still considered a good person then what would be your definition of a bad person?
He was a terrible person, a great artist, but a terrible person
@Antwen Cooper Ok?
@@mariahyohannes Am sure you also have you bad times cut the legend a slag he didn't start domestic violence.
Her Face on The Book Cover Was Like, "Yamma Don't Take No Mess" 🤣
lolllllll
Your father was one of the greatest entertainers of all time. It's very difficult to go through this material world unscathed.
The body is temporary...but the SOUL is eternal.
God Bless your father and your family.
A fan.
A lot of people during that time experiences abuse because that is what the grew up seeing. It is a cycle.
Not true I used to witnessed domestic violence when I was 2 and 3 ,4 but it never made me beat up a female but I never beat up a lady or hit a kid but you don't have to follow a atmosphere of domestic violence
It is true that hurt people do hurt people
@@kingshaw1079that’s u friend but most people traumatized do end up adding trauma to another persons life
Praise God praise God I I felt just like this woman even when I was coming up as a young African American female I was raised in abusive family watching my mom and my dad fight all the time she would wake up with black eyes and busted lips still getting up cooking him breakfast in the morning him without a scratch and they both were totally okay with it so when I became an adult and got married at the age of 22 and my husband at that time first hit me I went down that same road of abuse just like I was grown up with and I can concur with everything she is saying because when you don't grow up in a positive household you grow up in that same mentality and you try to stay there regardless of how bad it was domestic abuse for the sake of your children until one day God gives you to the ability to wake up
Debbie Tucker
Shes smart and James is the most natural and amazing performer ever.
But your ex knowing what you've been through still thought it was okay to put his hands on you anyways? That's wild.
Beautiful Daughter,,,, I feel Good
What a strong and beautiful woman. Keep it up, sister.
James son has a complete denial about his dad. He said alot of scenes in the movie were false. And the police detective who arrested James during the traffic stop admitted the high spped chase and crash did not happen that way. He said James slowly pulled over and was very cooperative and respectful. In closibg James daughter was arrested a few years ago for asault and battery on a motorist in a road rage incident in Augusta. Very strange. When you lie it comes back and bites you on the a#×.
I believe her and the fact that she participated in domestic violence supports the fact that she grew up watching it.
Ali and James Brown were probably the top non political figures of importance to the black community in the 60's. I was very proud of them both for different reasons. I looked at James Brown as the "ultimate" entertainer. His music was "hard" and we loved that! We loved the grind it portrayed. So while you're dancing, you're also mentally grinding. To this day, when play or hear "Cold Sweat" or "There was a Time," I stand up!
I thought Ali kind of was a political figure, and that's what made him more than a legendary champion (with legendary charm and charisma), but a true icon of his times, for the whole world actually
I love his 🎵, l Black and l am Proud! We all should feels that way. His life wasn't easy. Do 2 He really didn't know God!
Mental and verbal abuse is a thousand times worse than a slap in the mug, period! !!!
I disagree one can heal from lies, but sticks and stones break bones
I wouldn't underestimate the damage of either one.
The mental and verbal abuse are often the first signs that physical abuse is coming. Each one is damaging.
Especially if it happened while you were a small child, by your primary caretaker
💁PERIOD.
A "Selfie" interview...That's a new one on me!😂
I never looked up your father's children. You are beautiful! My condolences to you and your family, in the loss of your lovely sister, Venisha.
we always want to put stars up like cant do no wrong he was one of the Greatest entertainers yet he was a human being like any other man he had his demons yet he helped lots of people too may God bless him we loved him regardless
edwina thompson yes we do. He’s still no.1 to me🕺🏽
Right. All humans are flawed. There's good and bad in everyone. Some may be extreme with one side more than the other.
@@marquitashiver6141exactly so I don't know why people think they have a right to judge someone else when they are flawed as well.
I realize I am just seeing this site, but I still needed to comment. This is excellent and valuable information. Thank you so very much for sharing this. Andrea
A woman is no higher than a man. Do not teach your children this. Teach them to respect one another and to carefully choose their battles. And to not let anyone bully them, regardless of gender. Equality for all
Your comment is a strange response to Dr. Brown’s interview. 🤔
James has some wonderful daughters. I think they are sooo Kool.
I don't care if he's beating the pulp out of you. It's not love. Women please wake up!!!
Helen Grigsby it’s hard I thought it was easy until I meet my kids father
lol you think you're helpful? ...
She reminds me so much of the girls who stayed with the Colonel next door in the late 70s early 80s. They were Vanessa and Lisa Brown. She never knew I would sit out back and listen to her singing through the thin walls of suburban housing. I don't know which of the two it was though? I remember both being the sweetest ladies in the neighborhood who never got in any trouble, didn't hang out with the neighborhood riff raff like me (can't blame em) and loved the raspberry bushes in the back yard.
Wow rip to your late father great singer
Went James Brown son died, he was never the same. That why he worked so hard.No love from his Mother or Father. He didn't know how 2 love a good and pretty Black American lady!
Damn she fine. But I like how she refers to him as dad. Resembles how close she was
Yeah she is SMH. She look like her dad in the face though.
@Linda Hines Well that's you, I can see it with her eyes, nose and cheekbones and when she smile. His other daughter looks exactly like him.
@Linda Hines Ok we can agree to disagree.
@Linda Hines If I said "we can agree to disagree" that means I have moved on. READ BETWEEN THE LINES. It is not that serious and the next time you want to correct someone comments, be ready to go back and forth or don't try to correct someone's opinion at all OK!
I went to school with her when she lived in Baltimore county ...2nd grade
“My truth” and “your truth” is NOT THE TRUTH
I did not know what to expect visually from a James Brown daughter - but she's cute.
Hello to you from the Jenkins Family. Tell your mom we send our love.
She looks pretty.
Gary Johnson yes she is
It's his mother's fault for abandoning him. Bring up your children properly or remain Barre, n 🚮
James didn't have talent for singing and dancing only he also had a talent for producing a wonderful daughter
Good to know what I didnt know about a famous brother
In order to exscape abusive relationships never tell them your leaving because they will hurt or kill you plan your exscape also when ever abuse starts kill the 👿 immediately do not listen to baby i'm sorry i won't do it again
The best thing to do is kill them‼️ Period if a man is ever showing me and my fathers any signs that it is threatening to leave him they I’m be trained to kill‼️
Gorgeous woman.
Luckily I have a very forgiving and merciful God. #ripjamesbrown
Amen to that to god be the glory
Every black woman has a domestic violence story. Bur they never yslk about how they abuse their kids or husbands. Why do t they ever talk about that part?
Papa dont take no mess
Yes James was wrong for what he did to Tammi Terrell and other women he dated or married.. but some of you need to stop being so judgemental towards people who were way before your time. Especially the women who think they can't do no wrong. And another thing some women act like men can't deal with things like they deal with like domestic abuse or other things.
I just love him
Sometimes u can be raised into domestic abuse not saying it's ok but hey every body got a opinion on shit they probably who never been through it
Ph.D in Pharmacy, in case anyone's wondering
doctor yamma brown did you donate the money made from the book to help victims of domestic violence ???
Why should she do that? It's not her responsibility. If you feel so strong about it, why don't you donate money?
if jb,s relations didnt all contest the will which left all his money to homeless & deprived children.sure a lot of poor children would be better off today.of course that will & testament has now disappeared.so split between the relations & greedy solicitors including doctor yamma brown.sure alot of money has been robbed from charities helping the most vulnerable children in society.peace.
djwaxthegroove Then do the fuckin work if you feel so strong about it!!
im not a millionaire i have done & still do work for charity & im on the poverty line just surviving like millions of others.what work do you think i can do that could give vulnerable & needy children half a billion ??? ..
A percentage of the proceeds but she's using her talents to make a living and it's nothing wrong with that
Looks like Tiffany haddish
227pop no
She looks just like him
He made music
This girl could be Johnny Taylor's daughter's twin.
That's my mamas best friend
yo mama friend can get it!!
Tell her if she was a fruit....she would be a fineapple.
she's pretty
I thought Autobiography by definition is written by the same person not written by somebody else?
I just hate when people dwny the part abusive we be i didnt see him do anything i know how much of a family Terrorist a mother can be. We used to hate when she came home and yell for 5 hours about a light that was on for two mins i bet coming from waycross Georgia everybody get Slaps
Doctorate of what?????
Some men are violent, some women are violent, some ppl are violent. It has nothing to do with race or socioeconomic status.
It seems he beat and abused every woman he was ever with (a alot). Great performer, but an evil person.
She's a doctor, but doesn't know the difference between biography and autobiography?
I was thinking the same thing 🙄
I wish her well, Mr. Brown was murdered by the illuminate.
lorain isra el No he was not!!!
I only want to let you know that you are a beautiful female I see a lot of native in you wow God bless you
She had her husband wacked

You are brave.please take the time to put Therese words in print so it can be circulated and live on after you are gone.
Do you know how others could benefit from your ability to reach inside and bring those kind of truths forth.This platform cannot truly appreciate it because everybody already have their own opinion. New ears can benefit from it .
Very gorgeous women 😍
Is Dr part of her name now??? Wtf
MC Höde of course it is, she earned a Doctoral Degree so that’s the preface before her given biological name. Any problem with that?
And still no autopsy😐😐
dawg wtf are you doing here
@@VinVonVoom Don’t you dare speak to me like that😡
James Brown is great and while his behavior was bad at times his heart was pure gold. I look into your eyes and I do not see the soul that emitted from James Brown. We can see the reason he wrote you out of his will. You don't air you families dirty laundry for attention or personal gain. Everybody knows James had personal flaws. He is an American legend and no testimony of drunken spats will take that away.
Brandon Lee so beating on women is ok fuck that he should not have been beating on her
WOW she's beautiful asf
Reminds me of Tiffany Haddish 🤔
SMART BEAUTIFUL WOMAN; INTELLIGENT TOO.
So, is Deanna her *twin?*
"a Tragic Death" huh 🤔, wrll know james btoen has connections, if he found out i bet they all agreed to get rid of em, she had no typa emotion toward it when she said it 🤦♂️
James Brown daughter look like his daughter
Fine
She's definitely right about domestic violence, however i bet this would never have came out had she been in his will...
Theodore Baker stfu
All his children except the youngest one was in his will.
What are you talking about his kids got his money they just didn't give the woman that he was married to when he died any money
Wow she is Beautiful
Guys please listen to Dr. Myles Munroe on his " Love Series " in UA-cam...i swear with my own life you will learn a lot...
alright, thank you.
Knock.
