    This is how things get distorted. Johnny Gill never said Stacy or her Mom was racist. He stated in interviews that management personnel told him that her mother didn’t like the fact that he was dark skin. Now she may not have said or thought that but the point is Johnny never accused Stacy of anything and on this interview the host continued to push the false narrative.

    No Sir/ma'am, he's since switched the story and brought clarity for many reasons... perhaps with the potential for a deformation lawsuit, and her outing him, being the two main reasons. But his original story *(in past interviews that I've seen),* was that he personally witnessed this coming from her family. Not only that, but in the NE story, the narrative was that this was the case as well. For whatever reason, he's switched it up in his most recent interviews.

I definitely think that he believed his assessment of the situation was true. And I'm sure his own insecurities made it easy to believe. But sometimes ideals that we form when we're young and dumb cement until someone pushes back on that narrative. I think Stacy offered the pushback that caused him to rethink their situation. In other words, this seems like a misunderstanding and not a blatant lie.

Ron shucked my hand and greeted people whereas Mike, Johnny and Ricky appeared a bit hierarchical; now I’m not saying they owed us anything, especially after a show, however, if my band mates are greeting and meeting I think I would do so as well. Nevertheless, they put on the best performance ever.

Her mother didn't want Jonny singing with Stacy because she felt (Jonny) being very dark skin would hurt Stacy's career. Look up the interview... That's what Stacy said. Now, years later Stacy is changing the story. Colorism and Racism are two totally different things.

If so, yes, it's a "defamation of character" for sure. Johnny Gill himself admitted feeling hurt and angry after hearing rumors of being "gay." He added to say if someone were to say to his face it would be a serious issue for them. Bless Stacy for her humble reaction against what was put out there against her and her mother.

She finished her show anyway. Being mixed race I can tell you that racism is also prevalent within your own race depending on your shade of color. It's just a fact.

But you go to her house , you never see pictures of dark skin people on her living room wall . It's all light or fair skinned people on her wall . The dark skinned people pictures either be in her bedroom or in guest room . I know from experience , I visit her now & then but also keep my distance . Many people see that about her .

    Colorism was very prevalent in the DC/MD area, even up until the 80s and 90s. There's a few families here that were famously all light skinned and shunned and even disowned members who brought home, much less married anyone below a certain shade. You generally didnt meet any dark skinned or even brown Proctors, Swanns, Queens etc until the mid 80s or 90s.

    Yep. It was horrible in Louisiana. A lot of our Creole didn't mix with us "darkies" at all to keep that good ol' Creole blood. Even Cajuns were nicer than a lot of Creoles. That was then and waaaay back in the day. Plus, I only heard it by mouth but there was a lot of evidence. I know both Creole and Cajuns and they were all nice to me (though I don't know what they said behind my back if anything at all). But the Creoles I did know told me it was mostly true for their families at least.

    Truly, neither one of them, owe us, anything. Yes, colorism, existed/exists. Bobby Brown stated the same about Janet and her father. We all see/know, Janet was with Jermaine, almost a decade. Was willing/waiting, to marry and bare his children. I am a proud, chocolate woman and I experience colorism, more, than racism, EVERYday. It's a taboo subject within our communities because we have no 'reason'/'season', for it, we simply, quiet as kept, loathe, ourselves.

    Over everything, the biopic didnt have to mention it at all, they were looking to create a storyline of Johnny Gill in the New Edition group, but they should have given us a different story, NOT HIM AND HIS CONNECTION WITH STACY LATTISAW. Writers could have completely and undeniably avoided, and they could have mentioned more about why Johnny Gill even became a candidate for New Edition as far as his prior music career, and they could have even focused on his welcoming to MCA records, that would have been a better storyline and it would have avoided ALL OF THIS REGARDING STACY LATTISAW. In other words, they really, honestly should have kept Stacy Lattisaw name out their mouth. She does deserve for that to be legally amended with recourse.
