JAMES BROWN SUDDENLY HAS TWO MORE KIDS: DNA testing on folks making claims proves two are telling the truth.
*Of the numerous DNA testing on folks claiming to be offspring of James Brown, at least two tests have come back positive, according to Buddy Dallas, a longtime advisor for the late entertainer.
While Dallas would not identify the two people, the Augusta Chronicle reported that LaRhonda Petitt, a 45-year-old retired flight attendant and teacher in Houston, showed the newspaper a report that says there is a 99.99 percent probability she is Brown's daughter. If true, Petitt would be the oldest of Brown’s six children identified in his will.
During a concert in Los Angeles in the early 1960s, Brown pulled Petitt’s mother from the audience and she became his girlfriend, Petitt told the newspaper. But when her mother became pregnant, she split with Brown and moved back to Houston. Throughout the years, Petitt’s mother would point out Brown as her father whenever he appeared on television, Petitt said.
Petitt said that she met Brown at concerts and spoke to him over the phone, but that he never acknowledged being her father.
"I was angry that he was out there making all this money, and he wasn't doing anything for my mother and me," Petitt told the newspaper. "I could have had a better life."
