I think it was a very poor decision to bother him after he politely asked you not to. He's out with his wife. Celebrity or not common decency should be allowed. Your not a reporter, your a pest.
Some people are so ignorant...Don asked him gently, please dont do that...he just kept the camera on him as if in a stare...very uncouth😣💯...RIP Sir Don😘😊
And if Don was on AED namely a seizure medicine that may explain his demeanor. It is tragic when someone takes their own life. I conjecture they opt suicide because lack of listening on part of friends family etc.
Don never was a public person, Alway was very private and they should respect that. He gave us good entertainment from Soul Train, that's all that matters. R.I.P., Don.♥️
@@MisterB2eternity she was in it for the money. It had nothing to do with her treating him better. That’s not true. I’ve seen women of other races treat black men like ish. Idk who told you that bogus lie.
This makes me sad, Don was old at this point. I have no problem with interracial relationships. But this is one of those white women you see in Hollywood. She probably didn’t care anything about Don. I use to go to this Club in LA It was a really nice place and it was amazing to me how I would see these white women from places like Ohio and you name it USA town. They really don’t like black people they didn’t grow up with black people but they’re looking for a situation and an opportunity so part of their game they’re open to dating a black men with money. A lot, of black men don’t know this but if you white and wealthy most likely you have been told or indoctrinated to not marry outside your race or date. So most of the white girls who do are foreign or poor girls looking for a financial boost. It’s true! A Vanderbilt, or old America generational wealth will never mix with black. We become rich and we freely let white people in our families. But they never break that rule. We have so much social damage to over come. Don probably didn’t want to be bothered but mostly I believe he’s ashamed of his final years. This bigger than life African American icon ends up with Becky who looks like she doesn’t even want to be with him. Its so very sad.
Bubby U He wasn’t sad when he chose her to come over and lick all the places he wants. You can tell by her attire in photos she’s a cold freak. He knew what he was getting into. I ain’t mad at him, his money, his life. I bet that courting process was dynamite. Guarantee he made her earn that check in the bedroom. I need to find this broad and finesse my way into some of that money. She not gonna be able to help herself after already having some dark meat. She gonna slip up
Never ceases to amaze me- total strangers will go up to celebrities and start with the I love you crap. That is creepy as hell. If a celebrity makes it clear they aren't interested, why stand there and harass them? Do you really think that will make them friendly or more pissed off? If a stranger came up to me and said Oh I Love You, I Love You.... I'd take my belt off and pop the back of their neck with it, lol.
2012 not with standing, she proved who she was in the divorce. As for dating whom ever you want, that's on you. We Black's did not start this bigot crap and there is no reason why we should keep turning the other cheek on it. I could really get much deeper into why we should not marry outside our race, but I'm going to leave this right here. Date/marry who you want dude, I still stand by what I said.
They ended up getting a divorce in 2009. The divorce came with the agreement that she would be entitled to both his insurance policies after he died. So part of the reason why he committed suicide was to prevent her from being able to do this. However, this rule only applied to policy holders that commit suicide within the first 2 years of starting one. Since Cornelius had the policy for more than two years, the rule of her not getting the policy due to a suicide was no longer in affect, so she ended up getting the $300,000 anyway. He obviously had a thing for white women. If you looked at the photos of his home, they were plastered all over his wall. Of course, his black children didn't get anything. But that's how it goes.
If you are divorced then why was that woman at the house when he was supposedly committed suicide and she was still able to receive the insurance money? I think that she's the one who shot him to death! Just like the Asian woman who set up Sam Cooke! They want us to believe that Bertha Franklin actually killed Sam Cooke but the Asian woman also robbed him in the process. And in the late 70's that same Asian woman actually killed her husband and went to prison. That was her karma for lying.
@glynnracing79 Some black men lack common sense when it comes to appreciating their own kind. As far as black women, from what I see and hear, black men do not appreciate or respect them.As far as white and black women hygiene, it is up to that person to keep their body smelling good.We both do things to ourselves to enhance our beauty. And yes,we do wear hair weaves, wigs, and jewelry too.But we do more plastic surgery than black women. Majority black women are shapely and have fuller lips.
Once ,about 10 years ago my family (wife and children ,myself ) were in a restaurant and I saw a star I truly loved , my love blinded me to the fact that he was with a married woman ,so I went up to them and spoke .It took me 1 full minute to see why they ignored me. Sometimes you do not know what stars are going through;family loss, or pain whatever.It was obvious when he said don't you should have stopped
when your in the entertainment world ...you don't have privacy when your out and about... this is the nature of the beast = making that star notice = more money..they know this. Stars forget it is people that adore and spend money on them to make them rich...now you want them to disappear after they have made you money / famous? SMH....RIP D.C.
Sometimes even stars deserve respect for privacy. No one knows what was going on at the time. If asked not to, what's the real agenda here? Values are so misplaced.
I would love to know when this was filmed ..... I realize it was posted in September of 2010, but .... Don was arrested for assaulting her in October of 2008 .... and she got two restraining orders against him .... one in 2008 and one in 2009 .....
I knew he was a very private man, who was also a hard worker. Celebrities need to respect his own privacy, esp. when they want attention... May he R.I.P.
He simply said not right now. Its like being in the toilet taking a dump and someone say we'll talk later, not right now. But you intrude and do it anyway. And you better watch it Sir. Rudeness with the camera, Don Cornelius is known for putting those paws on you if you get out of line. So how many lumps do you want Mr. Rudeness. GOD BLESS
@DonByrd1025 No he wouldn't have entertained him, I seen him back in 1999 at an event and he wasn't too sociable and I didn't have a camera or anything. I think he was more of an introvert
@kookoo78 You are correct, but people do not respect that. He actually had some health problems back then, one had to do with his nerves. He had gotten some help, but I am sure when he went out, it still effected him.
Ok... So this is 2ND vid of Don I've seen & both times the man didn't want to converse with person... Say what you will BUT did it ever dawn on Don that He ISN'T exactly a Major Actor that MANY would not recognize on the street?? I get that folks need their space but he just kind of comes off more than being a little chilly...
Not speaking bad...but his wife is insulting...like she made D.C.....and she need protection which appears to send D.C. into action...question? He is the star or not?
What's wrong with the guy who was filming this? He asked you nicely to leave and you kept filming and getting in front of him. And then people wonder why celebrities hit reporters because of this guy who filmed and uploaded this video. You really have no life do you. Following a grown man around for no reason at all. Stay in school kids you don't want to become a stalker like this guy when you grow up.
@glencro I do not think you realize this man is part of the paparazzi. Look at his other videos, and the other cameras behind him. He was probably have a bad day also. If he had no camera, I am sure Don would have at least entertained him for a moment. When you go out to dinner, celebrity or not, who wants a camera in their face? How they get away with it is beyond me. If you or I did this, we would be arrested for stalking. If someone asked to be left alone, their request should be honored.
If it's going to be like that come on back to the hood. Get back in tune with yourself Guarantee you in the hood your going have people showing you some love and appreciation. Mr. Cornelius your legacy is secured. Personally I amI hurt.
How would you feel if someone(who is not even a reporter) you didn't know just came out of nowhere and started randomly talking to you with a camera in your face while you're out in public? You wouldn't be so nice either.
Wow it amazes me how all these shows who are looking for tallent make it seem like being famous is the "it" thing. Not knowing it's consequences u must pay in order to stay. I think he was having a hard time in his marriage. He was in jail for assult. I know, because i remember what was said. He looks sad on here as well. And life doesnt get better when u get a lot of money, it gets complicated. maybe he was tired of having a complicated life. He made it worse by killing himself though. s.mh
wow, his ex-wife is tall! if Don Cornelius was about 6'3-6'4". I'm 6'0". and I thought I looked tall. Victoria looked as tall as Don or slightly taller in some shots of the video.
Back in the early 1970s, my friends would watch "Soul Train" just to laugh AT the dancers; we didn't want to be them. Mr. Cornelius had a great voice; I hope he lived the life he wanted.
What he didn't want was that 21 hour brain surgery he had in 1982. He took time off to rest from it until he resumed hosting in 1983 after several months of a medical leave.
If you're rich and famous and you want a hot chick who doesn't know you and doesn't give a crap about you, know that the hot chick comes with a price and they expect you to pay. They're NOT going to spread their legs for love and commitment - it's always about 💰💵$$$ money and opportunities that will launch them to a privileged lifestyle.
we must respect peoples space however people who go into the entertainment world knew what they were getting themselves into! so they need to be kind to their fans,because without the fans they would be a nobody!!! I do have to admit you had guts to video tape MR CORNELIUS!! Now that he is gone this will be one of many memories to remember him by seeing who he really was not as a celebrity but as a human being! We will miss him R.I.P. and thanks.
About to b 12 years on the 24th of this month since the music variety show, Soul Train, threw in the towel. It's engines has bn worn out. Time to go on Ebay.com to find the Soul Train Dvds. Or pull out your prerecorded tapes to watch those reruns. 📀📼
this is 2012.a lotta black men are dating white women.was she a gold digger?? maybe who the hell knows but all white women aren't like this.I have dated white girls,black girls and hispanic girls.im open to dating all types of races as long as your open to dating them
The divorce was indeed finalized later that year, but there's a provision in the settlement agreement that says Don must make Viktoria the beneficiary of both of his life insurance policies -- totaling around $300,000 in benefits. Under California law, if a policyholder commits suicide within 2 years of the time the policy is issued, the company can deny payment. But Don had the policy for more than 2 years, so Viktoria -- the woman he despised -- will get the loot.
It's called freedom of speech! Because if I had, had access to him I would have tried to talk him out of that FARCE! Love is love, that was not! And history has shown that most of the time with them it's money and not love. That love tried to take everything from Don in the divorce including HIS Soul Train Royalties. In the video, does he look like a happy in love man to you? Hell to the NO! I wish Don could RIP, but since he killed himself, that's not happening. Sad, he was a good brother!
@coolwafferman I understand privacy but he could have given the man a minute of his time. Soul Train is a huge part of my life and had I met him and got that type of response that would have been out the window. Don came off as really cold and on top of that, waited for his change from the valet
Totally agree with you. Everyone's got a negative comment that doesn't have either the ability or the desire to do anything positive for someone else. HATERS! R.I.P. DON.
I think that person should have gave Don RESPECT because if he would have punched the fuck out of him thin he would have try to sue the man he said "NOT RIGHT NOW!" let man take care of his business dam.RIP,MR,DON ,if it was me i would said GET THE FUCK out OF MY FACE may be he didn't understand may be he needed to do .
Life is the most precious gift. If an individual cannot handle their own journey till the natural end of life as God sees it fit, if one chooses to end their life because it became unbearable, I wonder if it will be any better burning in hell's fire for eternity. Don Cornelius, I wish I can say rest in peace for you, but I cannot for there is no peace in hell.
@@aml9439 Most people won't agree, but not all suicides end up in hell. Some people have severe mental issues and just can't handle the stress. This is why my genuine concern is if a person has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Regardless, God knows the heart.
I dont think the color of skin mattered who he married.. If he would have married a black girl from the soul train line, I know he had his pick!!! He could have married a sista.. Ithink black women back then were more respectful... but would they have taken his money too women are women..AMERICAN women at that!!
