The Tragic Story Of Lucille Ball's Son, Desi Arnaz Jr. 

@@timthegem ugtttffgfgfffg

Ricky Jr. can thank God he had loving, devoted parents. I ❤️ Lucy!

@@NickNicometi : Their lack of supervision led to him being a dad at 15. They could have been better parents.

Hi ,bn

Hi ,

EXACTLY

Boo hoo! Both of my parents are rich and famous. Waaahhhh! I'm getting more tail in a month than most guys get in their entire lives. Gee whiz! It's tough being young and attractive and being the darling of half of Hollywood! Give me a f**king break.

@@TheGlssr60 The grass is always greener on the other side, huh?

@@Me-mb1ex IKR?

@@Me-mb1ex Aww did you get my reply to you deleted? Now who's the bitch, bitch?

I don't care,

Ok so keep it to urself about u don’t care asshole.

I met his sister Lucie Arnaz in 2009 at a Barnes and Noble bookstore in New York City-Lucie Arnaz was there to perform songs and music in person,from a new music cd she was selling or promoting there-A huge crowd of people were there to see her perform-It was very nice, and Lucie was not alone-She had her son Joe Luckinbill with her, and her son is a professional guitar player-After her very nice show was over,I bought her music cd,like everyone else who was there,and she autographed it for me-I spoke with her and her son-Wow-What very nice people they were,and very nice performers and entertainers-Just like their parents and grandparents of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz-Lucie's son Joe Luckinbill,also gave a very nice performance with playing his guitar,before his mother's performance,or after-I always wanted to see Lucille Ball in person,and I think I came very close to it when I saw and spoke with her daughter Lucie Arnaz,at this very nice music event at a Barnes and Noble bookstore,on New York City's Upper West Side.

Amber Bridges : Absolutely!

I don't think there were any differences to put aside, Lucy and Desi remained friends post-divorce and civilly coparented their children throughout their whole upbringing.

@@Me-mb1ex Considering Desi Arnaz was known to be violent, Lucy may have had a few issues with him.

Whose life is perfect? Only Jesus. Desi isn't any different than any stars' child with so much speculation. He is fine and thriving. Gorgeous man.. Hispanic roots really wow him. Go Desi..

Hello Stacy hackney how are you doing?

@@michaelbruno4608 I hope you are well Michael, and staying safe during this raging pandemic. Happy Holidays.

Stacy Hackney same and thanks for asking

Stacy Hackney Do you have Google Hangout so we could have a better conversation and get to know more about each other’s over there??

Hi Michael. Thank you for the invitation. I'm going to decline but since I don't know you, please don't take it personally. One reason I am declining is I have multiple serious problems, the biggest one is my government. I opposed our initiation of the Iraq War many years ago. I didn't believe my government's statements that the Iraqi people had weapons of mass destruction. I opposed the war in two private conversations, one during a telephone call with my father, who lives across the country, and another with a taxi driver of Middle Eastern descent. These were casual conversations, I had no idea my government was listening. The taxi driver initiated the conversation about the Iraq War, leading me years later to understand he was a government operative used to set me up. The government used my comments to justify putting me on an anti terrorist watch list. I suspect my father, who worked as a police officer in Florida until he retired, and who, unknown to me until years later, was the anonymous whistleblower in the Jeb Bush infidelity scandal, I suspect his phone was tapped, and my government learned about my position on the war and used it to justify putting me on an anterrorist list, which list I've been on for many years. I believe I was placed on the list because (1) I opposed our initiation of the Iraq War, (2) retaliation against my father who anonymously reported the alleged Jeb Bush affair, (3) racism - a failed attempt to entrap me by DEA agents who sought to tie me to one of my ex stepfathers who was a drug dealer. The man was my step father when I was a toddler. I have no childhood memory of him, and barely knew him. We moved across the country when I was 9, and the government forced me to meet with him in my early 30s, I believe it was. The drug dealer had two children with my mother, the dealer and my mother were both in their 20s during the marriage, I think. My mother never discussed her ex as a drug dealer so it may be that he went into that business some time after they divorced, I honestly don't know. In that marriage, my mother bore two children, two of my four half siblings on my mother's side. I also had half siblings on my father's side, as both my parents remarried. I suspect the DEA tracked my half siblings father's money to them, and because I am African American in a country with a long history of systemic racism, the DEA tried to pull me in too, even though I barely knew him, had no history of drug use and have never used drugs, lived across the country from him, worked multiple legal clerical jobs, and owned nothing of significant value but an old car, worth maybe several thousand dollars. The government got my much beloved sister to pressure me into visiting her father while I was in Toledo on vacation from work, visiting my grandparents. It took me many years of being unrelentingly harassed, and experiencing many failed entrapment attempts sprung on me, to piece this sh*t together. For much of those years, I was confused about what was going on. Something was wrong, but I had no idea what. I bothered no one. As far as I knew, I had no enemies. It would've never occured to me the government was investigating me. They didn't bother talking to me, to ask me basic questions. They just launched themselves into my life. Because I'm African American, and they are racists, with entitlement issues. On the anti-terrorist list my own government harasses and tortures me, until I die, knowing all the while that I'm not a terrorist. It matters not at all that I am innocent, and know no terrorists, much less am one. They've always known that yet it didn't stop them putting me on the list. My theory is to keep a case open against me originated by the DEA, some kind of evidence is needed to justify contininuing entrapment attempts, continued monitoring. I think, based on my experience, that after a person is placed on the anti terrorist list, no proof of wrongdoing is needed to keep you on that list. So government agents get free reign to harass me to death, no exaggeration, all under the radar, no questions asked. No need to get a supervisor tp okay continuing harassment, or a judge to sign off on anything. For a racist government, putting an innocent African American such as myself, who is lawabiding, is a workaround to having to justify systemic racism by racists who want to destroy my quality of life merely because I am African American, was a hard worker before I got sick , and financially aided my family as best I could. Apparently, African American people like me, hard working, pro-family, and non-corrupt, are perceived as a threat by powerful men in some security agency(ies). That sounds insane, but that's been my experience with my government for the last three decades, or so. Have a minority target you want to take down, but who is innocent? Place her on one of America's anti-terrorist watch lists. Then pound her to your hearts content. I've written to multiple agencies, domestic, international, letters, emails, to presidents, begging for help. No help is available. That's been my life for about 30 years now. I have no way off the list that I know of. I have not been charged with anything because I've done nothing. I've endured many entrapment attempts, even as recently as last week when my doctor told me, yet again, that he would lie for me as I try to qualify for a heavy duty battery for my mobility device. I've never asked anyone to lie for me about anything, so my doctor's volunteering is unsolicited. I've declined his offer twice, and even with that he's assured me his offer remains open, should I change my mind. I told him his offers could risk his license. He doesn't appear concerned. Do you understand? The government could've monitored me and not shown they were there, but they had my doctor offer to lie for me, nothing any other doctor has ever done, nothing I've ever asked, and something few doctors would offer to a paient, must less a patient they've had around a year. My government doesn't care that I know or see their entrapments. They've drunk the koolaide. They think they're all that, that they are entitled to do as they please. This is psychological warfare by a bully, out of control, racist arm of the government that reports to no one, that I can see. President Trump refers to the Deep State, and it exists. I experience it nearly daily. I've endured decades of mostly psychological assaults, but multiple years endured off and on physical assaults, as well as two sexual assaults by people I believe were government operatives. How to charge a government operative with sexual assault initiated at the behest of my own government? The most recent sexual assault occurred within the last several years. I told my mother and my sister. They're entrapped. If questioned, who knows if they'd be allowed to answer honestly. Partially due to the unrelenting, decades long harassment, I have multiple health problems. I am obese. When I initially sought medical care to discuss my emerging symptoms, doctors wouldn't help me, they said they could find nothing wrong. Thinking my HMO was subpar, I paid out of pocket to try to find out what was wrong with me by having tests run outside my HMOs system. To no avail. Sadly, there are corrupt doctors, or doctors who couldn't be bothered to help me. I also suspect some doctors were instructed by the government not to help me. It was the way a couple of them behaved with me. Almost smirking. As if they knew something I didn't. I just wanted help, and found none to be had. Can't prove my earlier doctors were puppets, but I suspect it. My symptoms clearly point to prediabetes, and had done for years. A doctor worth their salt would've identified the symtoms. I didn't know what it was then, but I told doctors about my grandmother's diabetes. I totally understand why so many people don't have faith in the medical profession in this country. Ordinary people, in my experience, encounter doctors out to maximize hospitals and medical centers profits, not to optimize patient health or tell patients how our body works. Experiencing symptoms but without medical help, my health deterorated to the point I was unable to work. I became disabled. Applying for disability, a process my government landmined with multiple entrapment attempts, was hell. After which I began to see that my loved ones were weaponized to harm me, an absolutely terrifying discovery. I knew my middle sister had been weaponized, I had no clue until after I became sick, that others in my immediate family were entrapped. Imagine becoming sick and slowly understanding that your parents, and some of your siblings, are encouraging you to break the law, something they'd never encouraged previously. When my Mom first did that, I was stunned. It was the exact opposite of how she raised me. I had no idea what was going on, and I was sick. Tired all the time. Headaches, migraines, exhausted, couldn't sleep. Imagine feeling sick, unwell and then feeling terror knowing some of your loved ones have become entrapped. I'd had no idea that my parents and my brother were slaves, forced by our government to try to get me to lie about my illnesses, etc. It's a nightmare I wouldn't wish on my worse enemy, knowing my family had been harmed was even worse than knowing I was under attack. My life as government prey is not one I would wish for you, or anyone. This is a full disclosure comment, to protect you, in case you're just an ordinary guy seeking female companionship. You do not want this life. Best regards, Happy Holidays. P.S. I'm sorry for any typos. I'm typing on my phone using one thumb.

I think a lot of Desi, Jr's problems STEMMED by being in the limelight.

@@scotnick59 100%

He owns a small theater now.

He* and his sister.

Desi Arnez Jr.

He's pretty average looking. I feel bad for his daughter who grew up without a father.

@@vaanipapadakis2226 Id say the sister was average looking he was good looking not gorgeous Dino Martin was more handsome.

Judging someones looks is subjective. @@bunjijumper5345

Being the son of two of the most popular people around also gave him privileges and opportunities that most never get. He didn't have to abuse himself.

Lucy and RICKY? = hahaha

@@scotnick59 DID I STUTTER?

Yeah, but luckily for him, he didn't have to struggle financially because of his start in life as their son!

I know right lol

Thats what I was thinking....wait...did he die..? I dont remember hearing about it..!

@@karlenemacdonald6549 I know me too.

Right! He lives in CA....in a beach house.

Yeah with it, I thought he passed too

He's not this tragic figure. He's actually pretty pulled together for a Hollywood kid. This video is just being twisted into an ad for a rehab center.

True

And he and his sister inherited a mega amt of money. He is doing okay.

@@jennifercole281 popppop

His early life was tragic. He survived it all. He's a fighter.

I Rich Viner, I watch I Love Lucy on Hulu. I know its not free, but it's worth it to me. '

U need a dictionary clearly

@@konamy4203 You need a dictionary, clearly! Don’t forget the comma!

@@kayhathaway6956 ask if I give a sh*t, no I don't

😂

Correct. My friend said she told her daughters not to date a guy like the current guy she was seeing. I told her the best way to teach them is if YOU follow your own advice and don't date someone like him.

I know his wife died of cancer 5 years ago and they had been married around 25 years. I am sure that was tragic for him but that was not even mentioned

Oh yes it is!

@@ThePeachygal Exactly

@ Kepc.... So agree with you. Clicked on this to see. This will be my one & only time with this channel. No time for crap like this. Bye-Bye to whomever does this channel...

@@suemcknight9051 You're overexaggerating the whole situation. Who cares about it, since I've never seen another one of their vids that ISN'T actually truly tragic.

Should make hisy life story as a testament to the world of how addictions are a disease not a "habit." We all.have habits in one form or another. We just arent celebrities brutally under a microscope viciously under attack. He is highly successful now in Boulder CO after restoring and buying a theatrical conglomerate with ballet and theatrical productions

So right. Wheres his life story? Unjustifiable criticism probably keeps his low profile. Weed is now sold all over and seen with such approval even millionaires like Dr Oz, Melania, and others are taking in the dough with claims used in liquid form can heal...such bull. In Ca people can grow it and pot stores sell it in all forms. Double standard...you bet. And Desi should feel shame?? Crazy just like the Biden crooked and immoral administrations. God is hearing it all and His wrath isnt far from coming We are ALL sinners. Let's pray for those persecuted and for our freedom under attack👍😉

I pray for my son's recovery every night🙏

Stay optimistic, you never know. God bless.

Hello Dabble Wallace how are you doing?

@Michael Bruno I’m doing well thank you. How you are too.

Hello Sarah keno how are you doing?

Sarah Keno hello 👋 How are you doing

I heard that. That was so sad. He now lives in CA....in a beach house.

@@kathrynfauble9053 I heard Palm Springs

Exactly! It’s such a disingenuous way to get proper to cluck.

I was thinking the same thing. I saw the title and thought,”Desi’s dead!?!!???” I hate the misleading junk put up here.

Yes, all the videos are "Tragic Story". Load of crap. I would block if I could.

So because he’s alive his life wasn’t tragic? Very dismissive

Seems u guys dont know the definition of tragic, theres a dictionary on ur phone or get a DICTIONARY book. Get educated

His mother was an alcoholic.

@Tiffany Powers - We all know that Desi Sr was a womanizer, an alcoholic, and a gambling addict. It just bothers me that Desi Sr’s bad behavior is commonly known but Lucy is portrayed as a victim and an angel when she really wasn’t an angel. I’m not going to turn this into a gossip session by throwing the rumors I’ve heard into my comment. I cannot prove that any of them are true and the only ones I would even consider close enough to retell were from interviews from Lucie, Desi Jr, and Keith Thibodeuax (Little Ricky). If you’re interested in that topic, Google search or RU-vid search it. It’s all out there like needles in haystacks. . .

altwht Praise God; overjoyed to hear this!

That's what I thought. I saw him interviewed in recent years. He seemed like he belonged to Jesus.

Beautiful

Edward Anthony I would love to see a photo of how he looks today. He did have great parents who stood with him through his drug problems. I love his parents.

Terry Bear: That's right!

Gods love is everything in a lost world. All rejecting His precepts are falling....domino theory. Just a matter of time. Bidens son fits him...Hunter. He can run but not hide . Selling Gods Nation for profit is falling on the Bidens. Hunter lives in the WH bcus his father fears his blowing the whistle on their multimillion betraying our nation.

I dunno, dude- you ever see a sad guy on a waverunner?

We want to hear that story.

Happy you y gt

I think I read they became friends in real life. Later when she was older, she stated in her memoir, they briefly dated.

The mother was over 18. She was the predator, not him.

@@ThePeachygal I understand that but come on now.Terroble.Oh well

It isn't, we make it that way, we love that drama!

Anyone that has a substance abuse..no matter who u r...famous or not...it is a tragedy. Thank God he had parents that could help!

There's a lot of messed up children with regularly people. It doesn't take many to make people messed up or it just takes stupidity ignorance irresponsibility shall I go on

Are you saying you didn't know Lucille Ball died?

You can imagine what Frank Sinatra, Jr. went through. He appeared to be one of the few who survived the incessant limelight.

Paul Newman's son, wasn't as fortunate.

@AnotherWacko very true

Hello Pamela Mays how are you doing?

I read that his mom wouldn't speak directly to flight attendants and had her husband Gary Morton do the talking. Maybe Desi Jr learned the disrespect from her.

Probably drunk. People should be checked before boarding when there seems to be a problem.

@@mel2000 sad to say this but Lucy’s elitist attitude followed her. Even on vacation in Aspen she ways rude. 😐

@@suestephan3255 most unhappy people are rude.....

@@mel2000 probably during his "self medicating" years.

Hmmm i wonder sometimes if I am human.

@@patcampbell2664 You MUST be since you are thinking about this.

Just shows that those things don't guarantee happiness. Sense of self and a deeper purpose are vital.

I fail to get the boo hoo tragic aspect . Just over privilege, over indulged. Same universal story just insert different name

@@sherriefox8838 I was joking. This is practically every straight guys dream.

Yes, isn't it though.

Plp

Yep i googled to make sure he was still alive LOL !!

J s hello 👋 How are you doing

@@michaelbruno4608 quit being a creep dude! Go join a dating site and try picking up women there. It extremely creepy to be doing it on Facebook and RU-vid. I'm also sure your profile pic and channel are fake.

and whether Shaun Astin was his. They finally did a DNA test back in the 90's and Shaun wasn't. but the real issue here was skirted over is all these girls friends were 6-10 years older than him. He was a father at 15 but today that would be considered statutory rape, she being over 18. I would say those girls were predators going after a guy that young. Mary Kay Letournou went to prison for that. Patty Duke claimed she did not know he was that young but with the big production of "Little Ricky" being born on I Love Lucy in 1953 how could she not know unless she couldn't do math.

She had mental issues too...

@@anderander5662 She still has them

@@ThePeachygal : Patty began dating Desi when she was 23 and he was 17. His baby-mama at 15 was another woman.

@@mel2000 I know that but she said she thought he was older. She must have never watched I love Lucy when Little Ricky was born in January 1953.

And that truly was a tragedy for the whole Martin family. His Mum, Jeanie, said that she would “never know true joy ever again” And it practically destroyed poor Dean, who was never able to get over Dean Paul’s death and went into a long, slow decline which ended in his own passing just eight years later.

@@lindashelley3635 Yes, everything was so good for Dean Martin for so long. I remember how popular he was. And Jeanie seemed the good wife and mother, a beautiful woman. The one thing she made Dean promise to do was to be home every night for dinner as a family, something he always did. And Deano seemed to be the good son. He never had to work a day in his life but chose to serve his country as a member of the National Air Guard. You would need to be a good pilot to get to that level. From my understanding, the question was, why was he flying at night at low level over mountainous terrain? Recently, I watched something about Lucille Ball's death. Toward the end, when she was an invalid, her daughter took very good care of her, repeatedly being there for Lucille. They talked about Desi Sr. and everyone else. The program was for an hour, and Desi Jr. was never mentioned, not once.

Oh I remember when he died on the plane crash. So devastating for the family💔 GOD rest his soul🙏

@James Satterfield Well spoken.

A great story!
