Are You James Brown’s Child?
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007
Because you might want to check.
Yet another woman has successfully proven through DNA testing that she is the child of Godfather of Soul James Brown. She is the third person to do so since Brown’s death in December of last year. About a dozen such DNA tests have been performed since his death, either by people who genuinely think they’re his child, or who just want a part of his will. The will currently names six children, and is being disputed in court.
One of the newfound children is LaRhonda Petitt, a 45-year-old retired flight attendant and teacher in Houston. Another is a Florida woman who declined to be named.
