I say these chirren need a parent to straighten them out from time to time.

At the end of the day it's HIS child so who gives???

And if he was yelling at Kim, that would make sense. But taking your anger out on a confused, torn, and used child who is in the middle of a battle between both sides of her foundation by cursing at her and calling her names is not acceptable, and it is not straightening her out. Trust me, a similar situation happened to me when I was older than 12, and our relationship will probably never recover from it.

I agree with this 100%..I straighten my child when she needs it but I would never call her out her name and tear her down like that...she's a child..when did this kinda behavior from an adult towards a child become ok??? Take your frustrations out on the other parent if need be but leave an 11 year old out of the drama!!

Agreed. She was very rough, perhaps too rough for the show in my opinion. And she was sloppy.

Now I might actually watch the View again. I couldn't handle the show with Rosie. She is so annoying when trying to get her opinion across.

You know what? I did too. LOL

As for her continuing to pop out babies without a ring, I don't even feel like climbing on my soapbox to preach about that one.

Zola Taylor of The Platters dies at 69

She claimed she was married to Frankie Lymon

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zola Taylor, who broke gender barriers as the first female member of the 1950s R&B group The Platters and later became entangled in a public soap opera as one of three women claiming to be pop idol Frankie Lymon's widow, has died, her nephew reported Tuesday. She was 69.

Taylor, who had been bedridden following several strokes, died Monday at Parkview Community Hospital in Riverside County from complications of pneumonia, said her nephew Alfie Robinson.

Founding Platters member Herb Reed said he spotted Taylor, the sister of Cornell Gunter of the Coasters, rehearsing with a girl group in 1955 and knew immediately she had the charisma and vocal chops the band needed.

The all-male group had just signed with Mercury after its single Only You topped the charts and its manager thought they needed a female voice to soften their sound.

"She was a very pretty young lady and what a great, great smile," Reed told The Associated Press. "And she had this baby voice that everyone liked."

Reed said Taylor, a contralto, turned out to be a great fit. She showed up on time, knew her harmony parts and charmed audiences with her smile and beauty. With her in the lineup, The Great Pretender raced to the number one spot on both R & B and pop music charts in the U.S. and Europe, according to The Encyclopedia of Pop, Rock and Soul by Irwin Stambler. It didn't take long before the group's success spawned a rush of imitators.

"It was a great surprise to everyone," Reed said. "We were the first Afro-American group to have a girl singer. That was the talk of the nation. All of the sudden, other groups started looking for girls."

The Platters' success began to fizzle after 1959, when four members were arrested in a Cincinnati hotel and accused of using drugs and soliciting prostitutes. Reed said he had been out of touch with Taylor since the early 1960s.

Taylor was back in the spotlight in the 1980s when she and two other women all claimed to be Lymon's widow and fought over his royalties. Lymon, a juvenile pop sensation in the 1950s with such hits as Why Do Fools Fall in Love?, had died of a drug overdose in 1968 at age 25.

Robinson said she told him that the two wed in Mexico while she was touring with the Platters and forgot to file papers in San Diego.

Reed said he was as surprised by the uproar as the titillated public.

"I never heard Zola say anything about marrying Frankie Lymon, I never saw him with her and he never mentioned anything about it," he said.

The drama was a focal point in the 1998 Lymon biopic Why Do Fools Fall in Love. Halle Berry played Taylor.

Robinson, Taylor's closest known living relative, said his aunt continued touring with other lesser-known acts until 1996 and wed two other times. Her last husband died in 1982, he said. She had no children.

Robinson said funeral arrangements were pending.
