“I post the ones I’m proud of” “I don’t live in the past” “I make no apology for naming my son Brian, He is the “true” legacy(while still having a son Brian) Sir. You are talking about the children you brought into this world. This is literally wild. You are erasing your family with your chest out. And the fact that your wife even agreed to naming that child Brian is insane. I h*te the internet for me discovering who Brian McKnight really is. This is some beyond evil mess.
It’s sick! He really thought he did something and cleared his name with this statement. Hope his children can find peace and never give this monster another chance of being in their lives. He clearly doesn’t deserve it nor cares to be a true family man.
The gaslighting is so real and sickening! “Keep an open mind” while you purposely hurt your children? You can be estranged from people without going out of your way to make it known to the public you don’t care about their well being or feelings. Sick!
Damn. This actually hurt. It's weird how common this is. My Dad left me behind once he remarried and his step kids were all he needed. My husband went through it when his Dad remarried and he had new kids. I know so many of my friends with the same story. This happens alot and he just happened to say it out loud. What a Dick.
So - my former best friend,. . . let's call him Ralph. He had 2 children with a lady who was in love with him. They had a contentious break up, then Ralph moved on to another lady and had a child. The mother of Ralph's first 2 children also moved on and had more children with another man. The 2 children now feel that both parents have moved on, and so their biological children feel like their biological parents treat them like step children. It's super odd and I haven't communicated with them ever since (the adults). The 2 children are my godchildren.
Wow. If THIS is the side of brian mcknight we are seeing, can you imagine what his former wife and children experienced with him? That smile at the end was chilling.
Sorry if it sounds cold but his ex wife should not have raised his two daughters. Those were his responsibility and he didnt deserve her taking that responsibilty away from him. See how easy it is for him to blame his daughter for HIS cheating?
Back when I was a kid about 14, I remember my mother and them sitting around the table talking about how it came out that he was abusive to his 1st wife & used to beat her.
Awe, Mr. McKnight, you were one of my favorite artists. I ignored the chatter because I respect family business and privacy. I recognize there are multiple sides to every story. As a child who was denied by her father, your language is disturbing and triggering. Your children are your children and a reflection of who you are, good and bad. I will never be able to unhear these words while listening to your records. So, I'll do as you asked and will respectfully unfollow. I pray that you and your family heal, and you recognize that YOU are the adult, and you are the father. They are not THOSE kids. They are YOUR kids. Peace and blessings.
Brian, my wife and I have been fans of yours for decades. Seen you live 4 times. But this…..this right here….ain’t it at all. As a father of a little girl, I know for a FACT that kids just don’t start hating their parents for no reason. You’re culpable in this and it starts with you. Getting online to publicly smear your OWN KIDS name is SUPER corny and makes you look like less of man. “Mutually” agreeing to never speak to each other again falls on you. You’re the parent. You’re the leader. And whatever you did or didn’t do, you failed those kids. I think you just lost another fan my guy. Damn shame….it’s always your hero’s that seem to let you down in the end. 🤦🏽♂️
THANK YOU for saying this. I think it is even more poignant coming from a father. I say this all of the time, that 99% of the time when parents and adult children are estranged, it is because of the parent, not the adult child, and that it means you were not the parent you should have been and were not the parent that they needed - that you essentially failed as a parent. I guess I am so used to hearing absentee fathers claim (like mine did) that they were "always there" and actually believe that narrative that is is a little jarring hearing a father actually say this - so, thank you. I said on another video that estranged or not, no loving parent would give a new child the name they already gave to their firstborn. Estrangement or not, no loving parent would expose their child's alleged sexual history as a justification for why their relationship is strained. It is not even relevant, so for a father to bring that up about his daughter in a completely unrelated context shows his character. Furthermore, even if his statements were true, when teen girls are promiscuous, it is usually because they are looking for what they were clearly not getting from their father. So, even if it were true, that is still a reflection on him and who he was (or was not) as a father in his daughter's life. It is easier for him to take two kids who came packaged and were raised differently. He can absolve himself of his lack of parenting skills and pretend the problem wasn't him. But his inability to take any accountability for his relationship with his kids means he hasn't learned, still thinks it is about his kids and not his past parenting, and this means he WILL go on to make the same mistakes with his new son. Perhaps it will be mitigated by his wife depending on the kind of parent she is, but that remains to be seen.
You know what, it's easy for you and others to judge this man situation and you and others haven't had his experience with grown, entitled children. You haven't had an ex-wife to undermind and your child's judgment or opinion of you to fit her narrative. You know what, you just lost another fan in me cause until you go through it you don't know King James. God bless you,"UNAWARE KING"
Man...they always say never meet your idols. His tone is sickening when talking about such a terrible and delicate subject, to say reconciling with your children a dead issue is beyond vile, hell even Ted Bundy's mother stood by his side until they executed his murderous ass.
This is disgusting and the fact his wife goes along with all of this shows her character. Every post he has made about his acknowledged children was always to get back at his biological children. That’s not love, that’s hate and misery!
Agreed. Is sickening on so many levels. I feel sorry for all of his children, especially the newborn Brian, because One day somebody’s going to tell him about all of this, and it won’t end well, especially when he realizes he was given his name out of hate not out of love.
I can’t describe how disappointing this video is! It triggered me in so many levels, being a child of divorce this was always my worst fear: my dad getting a new family and cutting me and my brother off. I used to have nightmare as a child about my dad saying this kind of things, I would wake up crying! I have been fan of Brian for sooooooo long! I know all songs by heart… The level of ego you must have to say such things to your own children … Karma is a b*, let’s not forget that
This is so lowdown and chilling. A whole DAD talking down about his OWN CHILDREN as if they are stray animals in the streets. My God. This hurts…and I’m not even one of the abandoned children. These are truly the #lastdays and #endtimes and this guy is so COLD and looking into the camera with a straight face and saying what he’s saying. WOW. 🤯
Some people don’t go to hell, they live it in their daily lives. This dialog from him exhibits not only his lack of emotional maturity. It demonstrates his inability to have compassion towards others - especially his children.
That smirk he did after he said "HE is the one that is my true legacy" told me everything that I need to know. This man is a narcissist and he is probably doing bia adult children a favor by not being in their life. That new wife and new set of children will find out sooner or later what type of person he is.
“Those kids” “the ones I’m proud of” whewwww 30 years of work just to tear it all down in 4 minutes 😂 SIR please hire a PR team this is such a terrible look 😭😭😭😭😭
its disgusting, very disgusting as being their DAD that you don't want to be the bigger person and fix it. A new family don't mean forget what you already had before that, disgusting and distasteful. Hurting your own children to prove that your happy is weird. no matter what they say or said, you should still want to fix it.
If my famous father put horrible statements about me in the internet and I knew the case was going to be long and ongoing, I would probably settle too. Just so I didn’t have to deal with him anymore. What kind of father would share such a gross narrative of his own daughter? Whether or not you believe it to be true, keep your kids private information and disputes private.
@@mialong2679 right! If the court told me I had to disclose my private sexual relationships, I would want to settle too. That’s so invasive and really no one’s business
Who started it? WHO 1st came on the net trying to tarnish name? If I am a child of a famous rich celebrity I would be progressive since I’m bless you be able to afford college and links to get my achievements but you and them kids are the same none progressive disrespectful and dependable periodt
He revealed his true character through his public actions surrounding this situation... Imagine what he's said and done privately? His kids were 100% right to risk whatever pittance of an inheritance he was holding over their head. They spoke on his abandonment in a way that nobody would've remembered at all. Most kids feel this way at some point, especially ones that celebrities scatter all over the world. But he has confirmed that his character is rotten over and over. His image is forever tarnished in the eyes of his base. Forever. By HIS actions, not by anything his kids said. This was a critical time in his career. His base is getting older, they're sharing the good music with their children and bringing back some classics. So he's really allowing his rotten character and ego to reveal itself, and therefore his new family will suffer the consequences of a tarnished legacy. He could've been a legend but now even the die hard fans are jumping ship.
Brian is legally divorced from his former wife and based on today's society many famous celebrities have previous spouses and children. Sometimes they still get along and some don't. This narrative that Brian is a deadbeat father is false and utterly preposterous. Brian McKnight is not a deadbeat he used to bring BJ and Niko on tour with him to many places. They both lived with Brian before he got re-married and he even helped them get their own apartments and a job at the hospital. They refused to work and wanted to just chill and smoke weed all day so he had to kick them out. BJ and Niko also both rebelled and vandalized he and his new wife's home before he kicked them out. Money is the root of all evil and his kids need to man up and women up because this is a cold world and many people would dream have a father like Brian. He didn't lose no court case and still decided to give his biological daughter over 300K is amazing and shows he still loves her!
This is actually frightening. He has no regard or fondness for his children. They are better off without him but no child wants to be estranged from his/her father.
Sir, the lawsuit brought by your daughter was not dismissed, it was settled. As the party who had to pay up I would say you're the loosing party ... but that's just me.
He gave your son his name out of hate not out of love. Out of hate, and anger and that’s not right. That’s the legacy that he’s passing on. Hate, and anger. That baby deserves a fresh new start out of love. One day somebody will tell him that he shares his name with his first brother and that’s not going to be a good situation. Your baby is blameless and your baby is innocent and doesn’t deserve this. These videos are so hurtful, and Brian wasn’t raised that way. I will pray for you and your children that you are shielded from this anger
Calling your youngest son your "true" legacy, when you have other biological children is so hurtful. Publicly announcing that you are not proud of your biological children is unnecessarily cruel. You can be estranged from your kids, but you don't need to be so callus; you don't need to go out of your way to harm them. This is vile behavior from a grown man.
You can't tell someone how to have relationships with their kids. We don't know what went on with those kids and their mom. It's not classy, but it could just be his reality...
@@ID-nvm I believe he said-I may have heard incorrectly-he has four biological children with whom he has no relationship. How interesting that the reason he has no relationship with all four children, raised by three different women, is because they all want his money. How interesting and unbelievable that all four of them, who don't live together, weren't raised together, all want his money. That makes no sense. He is the common denominator.
Yes you don’t post about all of your children., However you do deliberately go out of your way to take unnecessary and intentional jabs at them. This is not the behavior of and Adult. You also say if we the public don’t wish to rejoice in your childish behavior which is what it is, don’t watch you? Well maybe the same should apply to not listening to your music or supporting you in anyway career wise. Don’t be selective about how your fans are to interact with you when you so publicly shun your very own children. No excuse you give will make this acceptable. This is intentional and sick.
Recognized name? Yes! Respectable? Not anymore. You’ve clearly left a wake of pain in your children’s lives. Most fathers would want to minimize pain for their children. Some would even take pain to spare their children if they could. Your actions online are inflicting more pain but according to you, you don’t live in the past and tomorrow, the pain you caused today will be in the past, right? At what point do you hold yourself responsible for the choices you’ve made and the pain you’ve caused? Your beautiful voice will never sound the same to me. Wishing healing and peace to your family.
Sir, no one is upset about your "happily ever after." Being a parent is lifetime commitment. Four kids that are your blood that you do not communicate with reflects poorly on YOU, not them! You failed! I am sure these kids suffered because of your career. You should never give up on your kids. The fact that your wife doesn't see this as a problem and cosigned with you publishing this video speaks volumes about both of your character. The audacity and the narcissistic behavior is what is causing the outrage.
Your statement covers it all! He didn't do enough to salvage the relationships with his children. Their childhood trauma takes time to heal with much family therapy / treatment. Nothing good will come to him & his wife spiteful antics.
@@redpillchristian9040 he should start with, not being a total douche bag to the ppl he took part in creating... You should stop it's kind of pathetic!
@@redpillchristian9040He can apologize to his children publicly, for one. If he can write all these long winded sonnets about his step-kids, surely he can apologize and just shut up from here on out. Especially after putting his daughter being molested by a family member on blast and blaming her for it. Disgusting.
If your wife really loved you or respected you this wouldn’t have been uploaded, a loving wife wouldn’t allow you to post this statement with ill regards to your children (especially ones not hers) because this is delicate. Words matter, parents matter… everybody needs real healing.
@@robyannajohnson6632 Right on the head. And unfortunately she’s enabling his viewpoint when it comes to how he handles his eldest children. Even if she didn’t agree with what he’s saying behind the scenes she’d make it hard in the household for him to feel comfortable doing this. I really hope it doesn’t take him losing his money to see the reality of the situation. God has a way of making us regret the things we say when it’s from a place of vengeance or hurt. His daughter could’ve sued him to get his attention for all we know, but we don’t… and even then money wouldn’t be the end all he all to disown my flesh and blood.
If your children were/are grappling with issues, they are no doubt issues due to psychological trauma, caused by YOU during their early years. You are the root of all their problems.
Wow you truly are a piece of work. The fact that you can sit there with a condescending tone and talk down on all 4 of your biological children while praising two kids that aren’t even yours is crazy. As a black father I’m embarrassed , no real man turns his back on his children. I pray you take heed of what other are saying and find some real understanding brother.
How much more is he supposed to do for grown kids? When the money was flowing they had no issues. They only started to have a problem when the money stopped. His own kids breaking into his house and destroying photos? His wife getting them well paying jobs with benefits which they refused because they didn't want to stop smoking? Paying ALL of their bills for two years to give them time to get it together (what parent would do that? )? How much more is this man supposed to put up with from these ungrateful ADULTS? Enough is enough.
@@myastone6069 how do u know that to be true ? Cuz he said it ? I’m grown and my parents STILL help me if I need it and I work . If that’s an excuse for u to publicly disown ur kids . Then u just as sick as he is !
@myastone6069 he is still paying the bills and fees and buying an expensive car for his step daughter who by the way, is older than his biological daughter. And he can cut them off if that's what he wants but to pretend they don't exist ,publicly disowning them and trying to use his new family to insult them is low and disgusting
@@hazelboyce7230 I agree with protecting your peace but never speak as though your kids no longer exist to you even if you are estranged. Never tell the public I’m more proud of another man’s kids. It’s extremely ugly and spiteful.
The best thing his first set of biological children can do is unfortunately forget him. Be successful is their revenge without him. He has shown that he is a nasty piece of work. Those children need to move on just like any failed relationship
It looks like they moved on. I haven't really seen major replies to this which I think is good. He's making himself look really bad by what he's doing, they don't need to say anything
His sons are in their 30s and don't have careers. Brian tried to get them jobs at his wife's hospital where she's a doctor and they refused. His daughter is in college. They don't have any success.
@@christianjames92 They have careers..They also worked for their father. Their father should actually be content with his life and new family but he's the one acting like a Narc who wants to hurt his bio kids so badly by posting on social media things because they don't worship the ground he walks on and kiss his butt like his step kids for gifts and money. They have not responded in any sort of negative way after Brian sr's 3 videos but their father is so bitter and corrupt he keeps coming for them.Those step kids love his money. Brian Sr should remember anything can happened and there might come a time that he'll need his bio kids for things genetically his step kids can't give him.
@@christianjames92 What are you talking about Brian sr step daughter goes to the same university where his bio daughter is going to and she's excelling there. She's on the volley ball team there. Brian Sr is a bitter phony who spoke a bunch of hurtful and very disturbing crap about his own daughter, publicly where he had to settle out of court with her because he would have lost. No normal caring person but especially a real father rolls that way about his own daughter, he does and its sad the people that's defending his crap most probably had a father like him that couldn't wait to cut ties off with his kids. Because he thought they were burdens..
@@ashlouw5350 I guess you don't know about his sons harassing him and his wife and vandalizin their porperty after Brian cut them off anwhen they refused to do real work and get a job at his wife's hospital? And before people say she's gold-digging Brian she's a licensed doctor. She's not some woman off the street.
The narcissism is strong in this one. This is gross. Oddly enough, this is the first I’ve heard about this, bc everything “Brian McKnight” became null and void for me when he showed his true character to a fan at one of his concerts. That fan happened to be my close friend and her daughter. They were humiliated and embarrassed. There’s nothing in this world that could convince me to speak out like this against my children, regardless if it’s [on behalf] of my my other children. I don’t care what ppl know, think they know or pretend to know…. NOTHING could illicit this reaction. But I’m not a narcissist either. I’m not self-serving. I don’t ever take pleasure in a ‘one up’ against my own flesh n blood. But ya know who does? My father. My father would do this without a single thought about how it would affect me. And I recognize the same shamelessness here. In a world where we are in such deep need to bring fathers to the forefront, realizing their place in the child’s life is just as imperative as the mothers, it’s also just as vital to recognize when to walk tf away.
What you see is a man living on his own terms in this matriarchal western society and y’all can’t stand it🤣 a man can always create more children and start a new family unlike women 👀 y’all are triggered
Everyone in the comments let him have it and said what needed to be said. All I can say is that even though he makes lots of social media posts about how happy he is with his new family and new kids, those posts are directed at his older kids to inflict pain and distress. That is another really sick part of this. Posts that are supposedly portraying love but are really spreading evil and hate.
This is absolutely disgusting. At the end of the day, YOU are the father, period!!! With behavior like this from a “parent” I can see why your REAL children might act out. Lord only knows what you’ve said and done in private.
This is even more disturbing. You and your lawyers set up Brianna to accept a payment in exchange for no wrongdoing. As a father, it was YOUR responsibility to mend the relationships with your kids,grown or not, before it gets to the state it’s in now. How does a man publicly shame his daughter and tell the world she was with her adult cousin sexually? These are your CHILDREN and you are dead wrong for this video.😊
@@jayharris1359 bye sir four children he had to do that with ? Ay this must be his soon to be estranged wife go get a life n stop hiding behind a fake account
@@jayharris1359 If you ever go to the internet to announce your daughter "had sex" with a relative as a minor, you have failed as a father. A fathers job with his daughter is to PROTECT her and yet here he was humiliating her.
That part! Because if somethig like that happened ot my daughter, there is no freakin way I would do that to her and tell the whole world about it. He really hates those kids.
If the cousin was an adult and she was a minor, that was sexual assault. The fact that he would put this information out as anything other than that is sick. I pray for her and her brothers. Having him for a father has to be painful…
what's funny is how delusional he is in thinking that this thinly veiled attempt to fake happiness is believable. Like we all can't see how pathetic, humiliated and upset he is since his facade has been blown. Anything that he does publicly on social media (i.e petty bios, captions and hashtags) is equivalent to a child's tantrum or subtweet from a scorned ex. how embarrassing for him and him alone.
You have always been one of my favorite singer songwriters and I just can’t see myself continuing to support you and your music after this statement. That smirk after the comment about your infant son was very telling.
Just so you know how messed up he is. The kids he's estranged with come from THREE different women. Two sons from his first wife and then a son and daughter that were conceived while he was cheating within that marriage. So this isn't a case of the mum poisoned them, they grew up in different homes.
I cringed every time he said “Those Kids” ….I’m so confused on how a parent can simply disconnect themselves physically, emotionally and mentally from their own blood and creation. Unfortunately BK is not the only parent who makes decisions like this. Just sad….
"Those kids" vandalised his house, disrespecting him on TV and on line playing emotional agenda games to get the public empathy. He for sure loves them at this point he is making sure that they no longer try to get to him cause he said he was done with them a while ago. They keep whinning to get his attentions and man's is done done with them. I wish healing to this man and his kids. Because the enemy is money here
I told my mother about this and she didnt want to believe me at first then she saw his posts and her moth dropped. Cant wait to see her reaction when she sees this video
He showed them court papers like people can’t read or aren’t knowledgeable.. “no wrong doing” is not the same as not guilty! That just means both parties settled with out admitting fault. And you accused your daughter of sleeping with family out of spite and she won be mad at yourself weirdo
A chill ran down my spine when he said at 5:25 "HE is the one who is my true legacy" and gave that little smirk. DAMN! History can and does repeat itself please remember that sir....
Exactly... God forbid, if this new anointed "true child" of his should ever speak ill of his name or do "wrong" towards him. Maybe he'll have Brian the 3rd when he's 80 something years old, after the second Brian undid him in some way. What a deeply narcissistic, evil jackass this guy is. It's actually eerie to witness, how mentally unwell Brian Mcknight - the private person is. All of this is is text-book personality disorder embodied to a degree that's quire harrowing to witness. I never in my wildest dreams could do this to my own children, no matter what the circumstances were. It's really, truly unfathomable. I have a hard time listening to Brian Mcknight ever again. Sad to say, but a person this unsavoury really will get the karma dealt to him in tenfold. It'll 100% circle right back to him during this lifetime. What a bitter, vindictive fool of a "man".

Lol. That white wife’s gonna get tired of his clingy black-hating ways and do him like Tiger Woods/Jonathan Majors/Dr Dre. Accuse him of DV or SA and then file divorce and take most of the money.
Can’t believe you actually wrote that statement down on paper, proofread it and video taped yourself reading out loud and still thought it was a good idea to upload it to the internet. You need to surround yourself with people that care about you enough to tell you the truth because this ain’t it.
So he didn't consider saying he heard his daughter had a relationship with her cousin as defamatory on his platform with 400k followers. Then he says she just wanted money. His relationship with his children were conditional. If you step outside this box then I am cutting you off forever and "any roads towards reconciliation and acknowledging them a dead issue." Thank GOD our heavenly father doesn't love like this! No one has even mentioned, this man has GRANDCHILDREN!
I understand wanting your children to be responsible and putting your foot down regarding their entitlement. However, it is atrocious that they are non-existent to you.
@@LAsFinest310 he brought all of his kids cars when they were younger... he brought his step daughter one car and people went crazy as if he never did the same for his other kids. The step kids are younger, I’m sure when they get they age he will cut them off too I know that the step daughter is in college so she’s working to make her own money and path in the future!
Dad makes a choice to have multiple kids by multiple women who are totally different and doesn’t take into account that all the children will be different while also successful traveling the world barely there and chunking the situation up too people are mad that I found and have real love now. 🤦🏾♂️
Say it again for the people in the back! People co-signing this behavior and calling his kids spoiled. He had 4 kids by 3 different woman before his new family. All the while he was in and out there life and they are the problem!?
thank you for pointing out multiple women because the guy literally has like 6 kids by three different women and his ex wife (the one he never loved) raised four of them
So pretty much, your oldest kids feelings don’t matter and instead of being an elder and a parent bc that doesn’t stop at 18. You would rather blame them for your actions when it’s your job to parent them???
He doesn’t even acknowledge them as his kids he said his wife and OUR kids, this man erased his previous kids from his memory like he is not their father at all! That wife is something as well because no way a real genuine woman would be ok with the BS this man is saying. She the want all the finances for herself and her kids
Do you think he just got up and did that for no just cause? You can go ahead and let your children flunk school disrespect you and publicly humiliate you for money and they’re adults but as for Brian he did his best for them and the thanks he got was disingenuous now he move on to who cares about him love and respect him and if he is getting it from step Inlaw or strangers that’s where he deserves to spend fuck outta here
You know black men get with other races and think they won gold, her Hawaiian ass came from nothing married him and her kids get cars, fully paid college etc. she glad that man disowned them kids
The stepkids’ DNA and last name is McPhee NOT McKnight. I wonder what Glenn McPhee (who is alive and well) has to say about his kids being used as props and pawns in all this mess? 🤔
Those kids he said. Damn I felt the ice. Now one of his sons told him he was worth more to him dead vs slice. I’m sure that hurt. So did slapping and beating their mother and throwing them out of their home for one of your girlfriends and her twin babies yes Julie wrote that in her book. God will deal with you
, he has fans that will forever love him and his music...everybody can have behind the scenes family drama this same stuff happens all the time in regular non famous families and his grown jealous lazy first children are just hating but they need to get off their azzzz and find a job and stay off social media trashing their dad
This man is sick! To end that video with a smile is just.... I don't even know what words to use. I truly pray his REAL children are being surrounded by love and therapy especially during this time .
My mom has this mentality after years of gaslighting, love bombing and manipulation i decided to no longer smile through the bullshit.. Makes sense why they don't talk to you
As a father there’s no such things as a mutual abandonment…. You are their father and either way you look at it you abandon them. If you were taking care of them the way you do the others there would be no disputes over money. They are your kids. When you created them it was your responsibility to make sure they were okay. I never pictured you to be a deadbeat and it’s truly sad. But god sees it all.
Exactly! Heck, if Will Smith can get his entire career canceled over slapping someone in defense of his wife, this man certainly shouldn't have a career left.
The kids are grown. Where's the abandonment? Unfortunately sometimes relationships get broken, especially if money is involved. No family dynamic is perfect.
This man is an absolute embarrassment to himself AND to his family. It's so sad, I absolutely loved his music. Nvr again would I support anything he makes or is in. What an awful human being.
@Janadrian Bettard he will care when he's not selling his music or not selling out concerts. I was a big fan until this disgusting video. I have gone to two concerts and bought his CDs back in the days of CDs. Never again. And yes I an just one person but I know I am not alone in this. He's disgusting and so is his current wife for allowing this. If he can turn on his own flesh and blood then she better watch out.
It was "those kids" that sealed it for me. If anyone understands having issues with your adult children, it's me but I would NEVER deny them or act like they don't exist. I truly understand making boundaries and loving your children from a distance, but pretending like they don't exist while publicly praising your STEP children and new baby is disturbing. You could've named the baby Brian II, but your intentions were clear by what you did.
This is bad, sad, and disappointing on so many levels. Brian McKnight has been a singer I’ve admired for years and to see this side of him is crushing me. As a father myself I can’t make sense of this at all. I pray that God heals this family. Brian should have remained silent. I think he did himself more damage than good🙏🏾
You did all this rather than speaking to your children … and to say reconciliation with YOUR BLOOD CHILDREN is a dead issue is crazy!! Be a man and have a conversation with them… it also seems that the same “greed”, for lack of a better word, you’re trying to make us believe they have, comes from you and the lifestyle you brought them up in …. His current family doesn’t need to be harmed in anyway but I’ll be DAMNED it I support anything from you. Let’s see how long the new family (felt gross saying that) last without the same money you refuse to give to your biological children. Also not saying that he had to give adults money but it seems to be the major point on contention and he provides for children that aren’t his so !!
I met him and his Father.Hes going through the Garbage African American Men are subject to today. Julie was and is a good woman.However, bitterness will not work. The Bible Lord's prayer commands us to forgive period! God will deal with the lies bet on it!
Why the fuck should he be the one to talk to them who the fuck they think they are? They are kids they should have learned some manners and independency
Were you beat and abandoned as a child? Did your mother or father tell you that you weren’t good enough? I’m trying to figure out where this e v I l mess began?
To think he was coming to my country. We dodge that bullet😂😂😂😂. For a woman to sit there while your husband post this says the kind of person she really is
Exactly... God forbid, if this new anointed "true child" of his should ever speak ill of his name or do "wrong" towards him. Maybe he'll have Brian the 3rd when he's 80 something years old, after the second Brian undid him in some way. What a deeply narcissistic, evil jackass this guy is. It's actually eerie to witness, how mentally unwell Brian Mcknight - the private person is. All of this is is text-book personality disorder embodied to a degree that's quire harrowing to witness. I never in my wildest dreams could do this to my own children, no matter what the circumstances were. It's really, truly unfathomable. I have a hard time listening to Brian Mcknight ever again. Sad to say, but a person this unsavoury really will get the karma dealt to him in tenfold. It'll 100% circle right back to him during this lifetime. What a bitter, vindictive fool of a "man".
He's not only cruel & evil, but extremely dull!! Just because he's loving on his current wife & her children, does not mean she's not aware that he's a very cold-hearted, cruel, evil & vindictive human being. She's aware that this is the person that she will have to deal with if she ever differs with him, so if she's smarter than he is, she's already collecting evidence so she can show the extent of the darkness in him!! His day is coming sooner than later, cos unless that his wife is not spiritually well, this marriage won't last long!
I remember working at the Walmart corporate office and Brian came to perform at one of our events. He performed his hits and claimed he would never marry again based on his past marriage. I was genuinely happy for him when he found love again.But after finding out he had kids on his then wife and how he is treating his biological children. I’m saddened but not surprised. This video didn’t do what you thought it would do. You are the common denominator, you have issues with people you brought into this world. Marinate on that .
I new he was a jerk when he tried sleeping with me while still married to his first wife. Stop listening to his song since then. He will cheat on her too.
I cannot believe how much I used to love this man 😢. I mean, I called myself his #1 Fan. Let’s just say, I haven’t purchased another album since TEN. I actually realized he wasn’t who seem prior the the release of that album. Julie tried to tell us about his a$$ but we wouldn’t listen. Leilani will learn the hard way and so will those kids. What a disgusting man 🤮
I’m so angry I have been subjected to this unfolding. You clearly have no publicist. I was with you at first about entitlement and them needing to grow up. Those are shared parental experiences but no matter how bad it gets to run your own blood through the mud like this publicly is insane. Just insane and you would have caught these hands if you had treated my daughter like that. Absolutely insane. I’m done.
Mr. McKnight I humbly say this, THE VERY CHILD THAT YOU MISTREAT, WILL BE THE CHILD THAT WILL GIVE YOU A GLASS OF WATER WHEN YOU ARE SICK IN BED. I say that because I have experienced the same thing that I (the child) just stated. Peace and blessings to you and your family.
Exactly and that's what I have done to my dad who put me out of his house over his ex girlfriend now. He's now sick and most of the time asks me for money, I always cash app even when I have $50 left to my name.
You do realize his children were estranged from him when he finally told them to get jobs right? Those were not kids that would take care of him on his death bed.
@@christianjames92right, that’s the part all these women commenting on his decisions are skipping. It’s in their nature to defend even the most criminal teenager, so it doesn’t surprise me one bit that they’re siding with who they perceive being the victim without any kind of evidence. That aside, people should mind their own family and let this man handle his own.
Wait, they've said the case was due to you stating that your daughter was having an incestuous relationship, so she sued for defamation. And YOU had to pay up. Why did you leave that detail out?
no he basically bribed her. Paid and in return he wouldnt have admit guilt. Either way it doesnt matter. The daughter knows her father, what else would she get out of a man who never loved her, never raised her and would have never seen his faults in the first place. I would have taken the money too....maybe would have gotten some therapy after to get that POS out of my life
I know a dude who did a similar thing. Thinking to replace his family with a new wife and new kids! There was no happily ever after! Ended in divorce. The wife got the kids and pretty much everything else! People need to realize when they're are the catalyst of a family issue before thinking to hit the reset button! Unfortunately judging by this video. It might be too late for Mr Mcknight!
This is absolutely horrible!!! The internet trolls USE TO BE YOUR FANS!!! You fathered those 3 children who are now adults, and the fact that you've ABANDONED them is sickening! This only made things worse. It's not one child but all 3 of your biological children. I'm praying for their peace.
I hope he didn’t think this video helped anything.. He made it worse.. Smfh And you also settled if you didn’t think she didn’t deserve anything you would have fought it out in court and would not have given her any money at all!! He’s a joke!!
You should have just said nothing! As a parent, I would not go on a public forum and speak about any issues that I may have concerning my children/family. Even if we were not on good terms!
I started reading the comments and erased what I wrote because your comment was identical to mine. This is so sad😢😢. I pray that they can resolved their conflicts.
