It looked like genna was doing drugs judging by that platinum wig she had plastered on top of her head. I tell you, I know ya'll have explained to me how Ruffin wound up with these crazy ass women, I still do not understand it. What's funny is HE didn't wind up with either of these crazy ass women. He wound up with Diane Showers being remembered as his "love" interest. AND his first wife Sandra Ruffin being remembered as his wife. I don't recall seeing ONE article where or was interviewed or mentioned. Ms. Molly speak the truth and shame the devil! As much as quoted bible scriptures...you would think she will have clear crystal memory of the events with DR. Instead, she fabricate the truth to make sure she was with DER 24/7 And the other one needs to stop! She wrote songs for Motown? Please! If she wrote songs for Motown, why is she pushing her book?... Girlfriend will be on some cruise getting her groove on not surfing the net looking for anyone to tell her story......DE bought little JR.'s his first shoes..okay I lot of questions: 1. Did Mommy dearest work? 2. DER did not buy shoes for the kid because he was not sure the child was his? 3. Her parents... did she get any financial support for her family. Finally, I understand single mother's struggling with two or more children but, I don't get it how mother with ONE child can't take care of her child....explain it to me PEOPLE!

1. Did Mommy dearest work? She was a er um a dancer wasn't she??? ;D ;D ;D 2. DER did not buy shoes for the kid because he was not sure the child was his? He probably wasn't there to KNOW his child needed shoes.Maybe that was during the time he and TT was rolling around Detroit in his limo,wearing matching mink coats 3. Her parents... did she get any financial support for her family. Did she have a family? Other than David? ;D ;D ;D Finally, I understand single mother's struggling with two or more children but, I don't get it how mother with ONE child can't take care of her child....explain it to me PEOPLE! STALKING and trying to find out information about ALL his other women doesn't pay well. But now she claims she was a song writer, I don't get it either . I thought Motown paid their song writers well I mean Smokey and Norman wasn't starving were they?

DER68, Genna is a straight-up fool! Who in their right mind write a book about a man who abused her and then changed her name to the abuser's last name..... The woman needs to seek help I mean be committed to Psychic.... Joy, you have a master degree in Psychology can please do us all a favor send Genna, Jody Mae, and yours truly Drex to the psycho ward for evaulation.... all three are missing a brain.. In Genna case, a damn head.

Its a shame to have gotten your ass beaten nine ways to Sunday and not have anything to show for your efforts. No ring, no wedding photos(I almost forgot that the wedding occurred post-mortem) , no house, no car, no money. Just a bunch of bruises.
Pity

What's amazing is.. if he didn't talk to her when he was living what makes her think he will talk to her dead She's old enough to be on a job where she'll retire from instead she opts to desecrate his name and legacy.her and her son need a serious reality check.

Since David talks to her from beyond the grave,maybe she could help drex's investagation.David Ruffin knows what happened to the missing money. drex should get genna to ask him what really happened.

trisha posted I believe your story would be encouraging to anyone who was going through such events and could not see the light at the end of the dark tunnel. Just when I was about to say drex aka trisha has finally said something that makes sense. I read this:
You story would be even more interesting because your life's experience include David Ruffin. HOW would her life's experience be more encouraging,because she suffered abuse at the hands of a celebrity? Victims of abuse share a common bond,in that they all are victims of abuse. What possible difference does it make if you're abused by Joe Blow, a Relative or a David Ruffin? Tina Turner is a musical icon that was abused. What makes her story encouraging is the fact that "she" went on in spite of the abuse and made a successful life for herself. The abuse and the abuser are less important to victims of abuse,what they need to be encouraged by is the ability to continue on inspite of it, and be lectured by one that has done so.

Isn't that what he is famous for ?? His voice??? His showmanship??? OR is his realtionship with genna what made him the Legend he truly is?Well correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he inducted into the HOF because of his talent, and musical contribution?

That 'review' sounds like it was done by the author herself. As a 'real ADMIRER OF DER', *I* am not interested in reading about the intimate details of a former girlfriend/baby's mama relationship with him. I read 'enough' of her tale of 'love' and it was far from it. That's EXTREMELY misleading to anyone who is looking to know more about Ruffin and what made him tick. I didn't learn ANYTHING from genna's book except the fact she thought she was only 'meaningful person' in his life and everybody else was beneath her. I never got to find out what the essence of what Ruffin was. All I got was he wasn't 'shit', 'he was 'illiterate', he was a 'loser', he was an 'abuser' yet she was this, that or the other. The only thing I believe was that she was abused. That is neither here nor there. However, I found the rest of her book laughable and trashy!! She trashed essential every single person who was important or who probably meant something to Ruffin(except O and the hanger ons). His brother, his ex-wives, his lover, Tammi (lawd was she bashed horribly in this book), his friends and on & on. This was not about David; it was her story which, frankly, I was not interested in!! Hardly anything was mentioned about his music which is the main reason why people get books about singers!! They don't want to read all that other mess and her 'opinions' about his family, friends and so on. The book was choppy and it seemed like one long rambling diatribe. It is sad that Ruffin's daughters & their children are gonna be subjected to this trash. If he was as horrible as she said he was, surely, she would not have changed her name. Anybody with common sense would see that! As for the 'get a life & go to hell' comment, that was a big COPOUT! That's an easy way out instead of dealing with the fact that this book just isn't good and the subject is exploiting the fact she slept and got pregnant by a celebrity. That's the bigger picture here.

Reasons why I never purchased the book. (like anyone cares)
For me it is very telling when you cannot find a publisher. There are many publishers in this country, many reputable, some slightly questionable. When James Frey was looking for a publisher for what would become A Million Little Pieces, another book that was purported to be semi biographical filled with unverfifiable facts about the author and those he came into contact with, the publisher had him change the book from non fiction to fiction and the book went on to sell millions. Turns out that the majority of his book was indeed a lie (much like Genna's book) but Frey was able to find a publisher and an editor to work with him because the manuscript was written well.
Here you have a poorly written book filled with fantasies and lies and genna wonders why she could not find a publisher?
