The Disturbing Truth Behind Donny Osmond | ⭐OSSA

[@OSSAchannel]

What do you think about Donny's choice?

[@AGM-ts5bb]

No one who has a successful marriage has "lost" anything; especially nowadays.

[@rosering02]

Donny made the right choice. He deserves a happy life the way he wants to live it.

[@mrvgstyle2442]

If I didn't know better, I'd say this was created by fans who were upset that Donny married Debbie instead of them! Donny fulfilled his goals in life. Let him be happy with it.

[@mr_mack_indenver7807]

@@AGM-ts5bb Exactly. You don't get dedication like that much anymore. Along with respect, honesty, and decency - dedication is in short supply. Now it's disrespect, dishonesty, and deviancy.

[@kjcsmith50]

what a bunch of lies it did not ruin his carrer

[@clintonhoffmann9626]

I met Donny a few times and talked with him. I was a member of the local church he attended and he taught my oldest son's Sunday school class. He is a real class act! Very down to earth too. I brought over food to his house once and met Debbie, because she was sick. Great gal, and very humble! All of their boys are top notch. Great family!

[@beverlymoranville4305]

I've met Donny Osmond and he is kind and respectful. A wonderful man.

[@ccn9001]

I grew up in Utah about 10 minutes away from where the Osmonds lived. All of the Osmonds are amazing. They were always at the mall. I had a HUGE crush on Jimmy and one day he was at the mall with Marie and I about died. Nice folks. Donny is super funny and sweet.

[@brendastuart194]

@@ccn9001 What a neat memory

[@brendastuart194]

He sure seems like he is. I admire how he respects his fans and how he shows kindness to them. And, he's even more of a "hunk" now than he was as a teen

[@marcspardello1254]

Your meeting with Donny Osmond cements his standing in society as a wonderful man. Thank you

[@dollluv]

I think Donny made the right choice choosing family over fame... This value is something he learned from his parent's strong family ties. Not really buying that his father would give him an ultimatum though. Donny maintained a good career and currently has financial success along with a loving family. Great work Donny!!!

[@dollluv]

I agree. He did so much better than MJ.

[@deborahrowland4264]

I agree, family comes first. I wish he would make a new cd. His Fans are part of him also,

[@dollluv]

Me too. I wish he would make a cd of his greatest hits from the 70s. I really loved those songs. I just saw him in July at Casino Rama. It was a great show.

[@beckgood4064]

baby dollluv agreed!! Btw Donny was my first love!! ❤️

[@adellpatty]

Totally agree ... Family is everything ...

[@qwiksand2555]

I grew up in the same church as Donny. I never really knew he was a celebrity until I got older but he really is one of the most genuine guys out there. He was my Sunday school teacher for a while and he would message me asking how I'm doing since I wasn't really active in the Sunday school group thing. I'm an exmormon now, but people like Donny really made the church feel like a much more welcoming place despite the flaws of Mormonism. It's just really rare to see a celebrity prioritize family values over fame and greed.

[@arinco6944]

Donny is a beautiful person inside and out. He started working at 5 years old and is still going strong at 60. He is a true star!!

[@shawnajensenjohnson5482]

The Osmonds had great parents. Their family was not deprived, their parents taught them lessons of hard work- not deprivation. Huge difference.

[@MatthewOfLondon]

That was actually a very reassuring and life-affirming story in a dreadful grey world.

[@kellyanderson7624]

He has been married to Debbie for 40 years so I guess it was the right decision. And he's super popular in Vegas, he's doing well.

[@berniekumali-rodrigues1170]

"Family Values"...Donny followed his heart!!❤️ Good for him and his Family!!

[@LilCraftyNook]

Good for him! He did what made him truly happy! Also, the fact that none of his sons are in show business? I’m happy for them too!

[@stephaniesmith5974]

He had a tremendous amount of success and was one of the smart ones that had a family and stuck with it! So much respect for him and he did it rite! His wife seems so kind and loving!!

[@BBQFanNo1]

Amen! If I was also given the choice before being married now I would still choose being married to my present Wife and being with my Family over any fame.

[@julierodabaugh6016]

I am so proud of your choice to choose love first and for most. Family is ALL that matters in the end. Your whole family is an inspiration to all.

[@jacksonsdebramarvel]

Never thought of Donny as a heart throb or teeny bopper all I saw was a man who has talent and truly deserves to be Happy

[@danelda47]

Thanks to millions of people who know and believe in the Osmonds will be more than happy to tell you "OSSA".... NO SUCCESS CAN COMPENSATE FOR FAILURE IN THE HOME. Their family is number ONE!

Good for you I married the love of my life 41 years ago that was the day my family stopped talking to me their loss good for you donnie

[@bobbigger4710]

A world of admiration and respect for Donny! It’s easy to envy young entertainers who appear to have everything important in life. But it can come with a whole different set of problems. The best to Donny and family!

[@claringbud7525]

[@Pamelina1111]

What’s disturbing is the fact that anyone would put their career over their marriage.

[@Pamelina1111]

@Kelly B you're an idiot

[@dangerjangerfanger6522]

@@Pamelina1111 do you think they should have mentioned micheal Jackson in the video because he was the one who helped Donny build his career

Awe! I knew there was a reason I always loved Donny Osmond and the Osmond Family 😍🍶

[@tur74d56]

We love Donny , leave him alone , people are simply jealous of him

[@shahanazahmed2447]

The first

[@jfryza]

It is unlikely that his music career crashed because of his marriage. His teen idol time in the music spotlight had passed him by. Teen idols and musicians' careers usually do. He reinvented himself and continued on with a solid entertainment career which doesn't happen that often. His choice to marry the love of his life was a good one.

[@camh6328]

I think all the Osmonds, including Donnie, have very good self esteem. And some people sure accuse them of stuff they aren't guilty of. But I guess that's life, super happy he put family first. And that title is stupid, it's just clickbait. There's nothing disturbing about what he chose to do.

[@denisetiblier5491]

I was selfish and wrong,like so many other girls,at that time.But,I'm happy for him,now.And am a fan,again;of the whole group.Brought so much joy to so many of us.So,I'm sorry,for not being there for their career.Thank you to KZbin,for the wonder memories and the catching me up.

[@michaelh2716]

Good for Donnie! I made the choice to support my wife over my mother’s wishes and influence! I have never regretted that decision! We celebrated our 46th Anniversary last January 2020!

[@Cinderdiane]

I have never heard that Father Osmond ever made an ultimatum to him. I encourage everyone to get Donny’s book and read the truth.

[@Saucyakld]

My brother and Ioved Donny and were glad he got married to such a lovely girl. Glad he knew his priorities, you can't have children and a good marriage on stage

[@denisesf5]

I LOVE that he had a happy ending...so many child stars dont...didnt.

[@myjakpntami]

Success in this life has nothing to do with fame and fortune. A man who is devoted to his wife and family, and who is the recipient of their love and devotion in return, is far richer than the most wealthy celebrities on earth. What a great example this family is to all the world on where to put your priorities if you want true and lasting happiness and fulfillment in this life. Many thanks to all the Osmond's!!!

[@douglasghiz1287]

Donny Osmond: A true legend

[@brendabenninger6097]

It wasn't just Donny facing bankruptcy - it was the WHOLE Osmond clan. Mainly due to someone w/ access to their finances taking or mismanaging their monies. Plus, they invested a good portion of their fortune into building a studio in Provo and just didn't have other shows coming there to film.

[@dougperschka5201]

His father was not like that. That’s just lies.

[@obscurelyvague]

It is surprisingly a common story with a lot of the most popular teen idols of the 70s. Michael Jackson's father tried to over manage his sons' careers. The same with The Cowsills and with David Cassidy. It is obvious why. Parents know when their kids are moneymakers.

[@Melinda8162]

L Martinez I believe his old man was just as "controlling" as old man Jackson and others who used their kids who become famous young! Besides the Osmonds are Mormon and they believe in 'sharing the wealth' with the rest of the family! Not me! I'd have fired that leech. Oh, and Donny "had" to get married because his religion forbids that pre-marital sex, you know ....and so was she. And, he wanted to dip his wick....so.....had to marry to do that! yuck. No "sampling" the goods first in that family! 🤣🤣😁. !!!

[@dianemilligan3839]

Ruby Since when is it a requirement to "sample the goods before you buy!?!" You obviously know nothing about the true meaning of marriage. It is _not_ about sex!!

[@Melinda8162]

Diane Milligan You evidently don't comprehend well. Where did I say it was a requirement?? We ALL know many do pre-marital sex - now days, and have been! (haha, wow big news!). But, as he's said, the ole Mormon faith forbids that to those who follow. So do most. And, how many abide? haha.

[@shannonb082905]

How do you know Doug Perschka? I have seen interviews and read books by the Osmonds. Some say he was verbally and could be physically abusive. Both his father and mother were selfish to put all of them through that kind of lifestyle. Yes I said it. His mother too! She condoned it. I do not care how much they loved them. The Osmond men were abused and Marie was a spoiled brat. Also that show was the dumbest thing ever! Poor Donny and Marie. They never got paid for all their hard work while their father and probably Alan pocketed all the money. Their probably the cause of them going broke

[@christinebailey9935]

imagine a young man going against his fathers advise and marrying at a young age. he has been married to the same woman,has a family of his own and STILL plays in Las Vegas a couple times a year. I guess you can say he ended up with the grand prize.

I hate it when KZbin videos have salacious and unnecessary titles. Nothing is “disturbing” about this news piece. Teen pop stars always have some sort of struggle growing out of the youth/fandom phase; it’s the nature of the beast. I think Donnie turned out pretty well. This news story is overall complementary. The title just sucks.

[@easternmix]

There are many inaccuracies in this presentation

[@marlanaedwards5296]

Everyone deserve to have both things. Career and love.

[@deidramaynard8674]

You made a good and right decision! Your wife and family will bring true happiness! People can be cruel.

What I heard was Debbie was actually Jay's GF before she was Donny's. So at 16, they wouldn't have been together as a couple... AND Debbie is the light of his life... marrying Debbie WAS and still IS the best decision he made... One more thing, All the Osmonds were effected by that bad business deal, not just Donny. BUT they did rebound :)

[@obscurelyvague]

I believe it, but what I heard is that Mr Osmond did not want Merrell to marry. He was the first of the performing brothers to marry. When young guys have a teen idol image to maintain they cannot let their fans know that they are married. That is the way it was in the 60s and 70s anyway. I heard that when the Beatles became popular their manager told them not to let anyone know anything about their girlfriends or wives.

[@teresahegerich8835]

Watch the Osmonds biography. Their dad staked everything on Donny & Marie and it bankrupted the family for a while. It was Jimmy who pull them out of financial ruin. There were hard feelings from the older brothers for a while.

[@Heh3469]

Sofia Van Niekerk, Donny started having panic attacks during his run as Joseph not the D&M show. You are right that it was her that helped him get through it, though.

[@nancykroner2656]

Teresa Hegerich l.p.

[@obscurelyvague]

"Spfia Van Niekerk" Not to be argumentative but I was a fan as a child. and I still appreciate some of their songs but I think the Mormon church made the Osmonds into puppets for the religion. It always seemed to me that Debbie Osmond looked like any other woman trapped because of being born into a very religious culture and conditioned from day one to think that she is to be the property of a man or she would be displeasing god. Such women may say that they chose being wives and mothers and don't feel imprisoned or as if they are second class citizens because they were born female, but somehow in their expressions, the way they don't have a personality of their own, the way they are just copying other women of their "faith" these women are robotic and without brains of their own.

Unfair to blame his marriage on his career decline...... The Osmonds peaked the same way all popular musical acts do.... After The Donny and Marie show went off the air, it's been downhill since... Michael Jackson was the rare exception, because of his incredible talent and ambition..

[@DrAL00isin]

And you could still see Donnie and Marie in Vegas recently, he and Marie were had their own show. Hardly a riches to rags story.

[@lovemuffin1963]

FYI the ENTIRE FAMILY had those financial issues

[@lorilal9931]

If the Osmond parents cared so much about their family then why weren't they supportive of his love for his girlfriend/wife. Sounds like the fame and money meant more to the parents. But good for him on making his own choice in life. Because today he's still going strong with the same woman he loved from day one.

This is not truly accurate. Donny's father never gave him an ultimatum. He simply told him that if he married Debbie it would ruin his career. Just a wise father seeing the writing on the wall.

[@randylove]

Life is all about sharing with that certain someone if he didn’t find it he would be rocking a different way alone on a rocking chair .sorry what his dad said but with all do respect ✊ made Donny a happier man

[@glendajustice4104]

Well it's bad that it had to ruin his career , but him truly loving her and rebuilding again after that just shows that he was the best in the business. When he was very young , he was a very good child and person. Others got into fame then sex followed soon after, but Donny saved himself for his marriage. He didn't get into drugs and all that stuff. I've always had the very deep respect for this Osmond and person. Love his music and was well into them when they were younger. No doubt , I guess there were other good Osmond brothers too , but I read and know alot about Donny and worshiped the Osmonds in a dedicated way , not as God's, but true dedication. Never forget those 70.s. Best times 4 music and bands of the best , oh , Abba was on top too. I guess from mid 60.s to the early 80.s was the best decades of music , but only then after came Kurt Cobain to save music and be another great , but then he died. So , good music is over in this world. That's my take.

[@rebeccalankford2652]

Donny did worry about his career and how to grow from a teen pop star. No doubt he loved his family but you have to make a living to have money to support yourself and your family. It is a BALANCE of time and energy as well as extreens between as you say a goodie goodie and street credit. Extreems are never good. Moderation and balance is what one seeks.

[@audrinagrace4367]

These are lies! Donny has been with Debbie for over 40years! Never did she leave , never did George Osmond. Say for the sake of Donny’s They married in the Temple. That is sacred! Please do not distort the truth. Let Donny Osmond live his life as he wants it, and as he tells it!
