Some people become ministers not because they love God, but rather for money and power.

What goes on in the dark, will come to the light.

No more suffering Aretha. Bless you. ❤️🙏🏻

Women have suffered so much under these men. And those poor little girls. And don't think that it is not still going on today. Imagine the psychological damage.

I know a preacher who had babies by his daughters. He walked around like he was innocent. Back then girls who got pregnant out of wedlock were shunned. Therefore, the girls were shunned, and he walked around like he was good and pure. The family today don’t even acknowledge it; and the ones affected by it deal with the pain. While I don’t know the Franklins, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true.

Man was a serial rapist of child which is a pedophile and using the church as a cover for his sexual obsession. He needed to be in jail not leading a church. I feel for her and all she been through. As a survivor of child rape and also a vocalist I fully understand now why she was was such an amazing talent and strong human being. She came from a lot of trauma and that emotion made her musicality a pathway to express all the emotions that comes with that. It is time we stop trying to sugar coat and victim blame and call these criminals for who they are and have more compassion for the victims they devastate. Her father was a pedophile and sex addict who found a way to manipulate his position with the church to satisfy his sickness and hurt so many children in the process. Until society is greatly outraged at the sex criminals enough to hold them accountable fully this issue will continue to cause harm to many children.

Arthea was not widely accepted in the black community in the day because of this. Incestuous relationships were common; her mom died at 10, she fell pregnant at 12 the same year her classmate did by her dad. Her life was a classic tale of someone being SA'd. Not her fault; Franklin was a monster, stop blaming a child victim.

I've always heard this as a child as far as the early 70s yes may Aretha rest in peace but pushing it to the side is the reason we still have creeps like her dad in 2024.

[Tammystjulien]

The dad should've been sent to jail getting the young lady pregnant in church

Losing your mother 💔 is a pain you can't describe 😔❤❤

[lilly]

Just sick, how could a father rape his own child. 😢

[deowil]

I hate to say it I do not think this is gossip. If the pastor was the type of man who had a reputation of being with immoral with all kinds of women and minor children, then I would not put anything pass him. It is a shame for these types of ungodly acts to happen in families, and this is not normal to allow Satan to temp family members to get out of control like this.

[vanessaford]

The sad thing is that the adults knew and kept quiet, which allowed it to continue . He kept those girls close, so who else could it have been. It was always hush hush. If we knew the half of went on in the religious community then and now 💯

[evelyntillis]

Believe it or if you start searching you'll find that this happened in many families and race😢

[interstategar]

The fact her first child was named after her father is the main clue, that her father is the father of her first born. All that was needed was a DNA test.

[jevan]

That would make Aretha Franklin’s father your father and your grandfather, Aretha Franklin is your mother and your sister…..

[pamelaingram]

Aretha Franklin is still the unforgettable incomparable Queen of Soul. Remember her for her selfless civil rights work remember her for acting in the Blues brothers and making us laugh. Let her rest in joy.

The girl C.L. impregnated wasn't a teenager. She was 12 years old; the same age Aretha was when she got pregnant with her first son.

[hazelphinelamptey]

Her mom didn't died from a heart attack she was in car accident and her dad didn't attend the funeral.
