Marvin Gaye’s death was such a tragedy. Most talented man of his generation

[@nirmalsuki]

He was... Just about the most charismatic man in music at the time, too.

For those who don’t know Chester Bennington the lead singer of LINKIN PARK took his own life due to his struggle with substance abuse and depression brought on by child sexual abuse.

[@Maggimae2367]

@@123theprodigy5 That was heartbreaking. They were my son’s favorite band and I loved them too. Jeff Buckley’s freak accident drowning death was such a shocking loss also.

Jerry Lee Lewis would be under a lot more controversy if he had married his thirteen year old cousin in today's world. Likewise with R. Kelly and Aaliyah.

[@kamsismith]

Jerry Lee’s family even thought it was a bad idea to marry his cousin and what’s crazy is that one of his brothers married one of their cousins.

[@trinaq]

​@@kamsismithReally?! Wow, that's disturbingly crazy that it happened twice, in the same family.

[@alarrim29574]

He’d be in prison 😂

[@jillb3072]

Aaliyah’s marriage was seen as wrong and knew about falsifying her records. It wasn’t until R. Kelly had more accusations, that Aaliyah’s story came back to the limelight.

[@AJ-xc4qe]

It seems like whenever Black celebrities, mostly male, are asked about their sexuality, they either deny it, die in the closet or come out when they're not relevant anymore. I’m not saying asking anyone about their sexuality is ok, but the fact that it’s so rare for them to feel comfortable about their sexuality makes me thankful we’re in a comparatively more accepting period when guys like Lil Nas X or Justice Smith have come out.

[@MetalMama-Mimi523]

Eric Clapton wasn't in a band just called Derek, it was Derek & the Dominos.

[@angelh1743]

John Lennon was very abusive to all the women he dated or married. He was such an insecure little man who would belittle, psychologically, verbally, & physically abusive. Even towards Yoko Ono.

[@evita521]

John emotionally abused his son Julian and publicly mocked disabled people.

[@TamuMalone-b4q]

I wonder if there was another interaction with him and Mark David Chapman. I believe he did that horrible thing to Jayne Mansfield.

[@Well3eyond]

A looooong time ago, ended up meeting Whitney Houston's brother at a club/bar, and during the talk he confided that Whitney had a girlfriend. I never told anyone that, and forgot about the convo until now.

[@leobacelli3459]

Life is full of dark truths and harsh realities/realizations we just have to face it head on like it was an emotion that we have to overcome fear, for example, or feeling shy or embarrassed

Axl Rose's speaking voice is amazing.

[@hrc3040]

When did girls being best friends and dependent on each other turn into meaning it is a lesbian relationship? Shame on her "friend" for discussing it (and profiting from it) when Whitney isn't here to defend herself.

[@cindysmith2858]

I agree I had never seen or heard anything like this. I was thinking the same thing exposing this after she’s gone.

[@randyreese6413]

The greatest lie ever told is Elvis waited till Priscilla was legal...

[@rob-time]

Everybody has some darkness in their life. We never know.

[@azureblue.567]

No offence, Watchmojo, but I've seen some of these facts before, like, for example, about Britney Spears' conservatorship and how Marvin Gaye d!ed. From that same 48 hour documentary about Marvin Gaye, I learnt about his personal romantic relationships. That's what was kinda surprising to me, not about how he died. My dad told me about that years ago. Anyway i dont want to drag his name through the dirt, he's still one of the best artists to ever walk this earth imo, we don't have singers like that anymore.. i highly recommend though if youre into that sort of thing that you watch that documentary and also the Autopsy one on Our History here on YT they're both good. Happy New Year everyone 🎉

[@corvus1374]

How is Whitney being gay a dark secret?

[@akfreed6949]

People are still anti LGBTQ

[@barbarossarotbart]

Because she was keeping it secret and was forced to end her relationship.

[@charlotte-m5d]

It wasn’t that much of a secret.

[@TyeArtisik]

​@@barbarossarotbartWho forced her? Whitney ain't want that woman. She loved men

[@Matthew-cv4on]

Because she was in the closet, The closet can be a dark place without a flashlight

[@chasezly]

then u look at janie's got a gun like steven saying abuse is bad...

[@Ratt2004]

There's controversy about Elvis' relationships for sure. BUT, a slew of women said he refused to touch any of them intimately. Even Priscilla claimed he only slept with her a select number of times...wouldn't do so unless they were married & she was legal age....seems he was more of an incel than anything, or Ace. Heck, there's a wild Wiki page diving into it, even talking about how Elvis wouldn't even give any women oral because the band 'weren't into that type of thing'

[@praxismobius6037]

Some of these truths aren't what I would call "dark."

[@zendeeno]

I was under the assumption that Axel Rose did not like gay people, yet what he endured is a fact to us all that we never see the full picture of someone else’s life. I get it, if the former is true and the later is the result.

[@WWChampion16]

And Marvin Gaye Sr. got off mostly scot free because he said he did it in self-defense because his son was high on drugs.

[@instaperil]

Britney spears conservative ship is so sketchy, but she also needs guidance

[@ombrenightcores]

I saw the name of the first guy that showed up in the video and honestly thought it was that he made shoes in the shape of penii and not his actual name

[@DizzyME13]

😂

[@ladonsewell4558]

Who cares let her rest my goodness

[@kenamoaning944]

What about Michael Jackson’s Child molestation accusations

[@Akumaten1]

They were proven false in the court of law and the accusers have been exposed as frauds or liars. So there's no "Truths" to them. Allegations used to extort Celebrities is what that was in MJs case. And because MJ(being a black man)was as huge as he was and as powerful, the media decided to HIGHLY publicize it. Meanwhile they sweep Elvis under the rug because he's a Historic YT man.

[@randolphvictorconstantine7765]

I blame the judge for removing britney's conservatorship... Whatever happens to her now is on him or her.

[@JosephEntertainment-r5h]

Hmm

[@TamuMalone-b4q]

The way Whitney and her daughter died the same way is no coincidence.

[@armaggon5920]

Everyone listen! I'm here to tell you that CHRIST JESUS is the one true Son of GOD. He died on the cross for our sins and rose through the divine power of GOD, because he is GOD! Come to him and submit to the LORD GOD of all things before it is too late. We all will stand before GOD amd we will have to gice account for what we have done in our lives.We have all sinned great sins against GOD, and this is no different. Only CHRIST can save us from eternal banishment to never ending tourment. Ask for forgiveness for your sins. Confess CHRIST died on the cross for your sins. Believe that he is the one true Son of GOD. Please! Before time runs out! GOD Bless Much love ✝️

I’ve heard this joke before.

[@armaggon5920]

@Jeremiah_Rivers76 Sounds like a good joke. How about you tell me and I tell you about the greatest man who ever lived. JESUS CHRIST.

[@danielmaher7108]

But what does that have to do with the main story?

[@armaggon5920]

@danielmaher7108 John 8:32 "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Since the video has to do with dark truths, I thought this verse would be good. As for my original verse, though, it isn't about the Watchmojo video. It's about everyone who sees, knowing that JESUS CHRIST bled and died on a cross so that we can be free from our sins.

[@CourtneyPielok]

Dear lady narrating AKA Kirsten, You're NOT American so STOP pronouncing words like one. It's irritating and unnecessary. For example it's the 1st *of* April. Not April 1st. Speak properly.
