SHOCKER!! R&B Singer El Debarge Is In JAIL!!! - MediaTakeOut.com™ 2008


SHOCKER!! R&B SINGER EL DEBARGE IS IN JAIL!!!
 




August 29, 2007. Have you been wondering what former R&B great El DeBarge has been up to lately? Well MediaTakeout.com found out that Janet Jackson's former brother in-law is in a California prison. According to the below report, Eldra DeBarge is being held on $20,000 bail for a "felony" arrest.

And it looks like he's having a hard time coming up with the $20,000. Because according to the same report, he's been sitting in jail since Monday.

So far the authorities over at the jail are pretty tight lipped about what he's charged with. But MediaTakeOut.com is hearing whispers that it may have had something to do with drugs.

MsGottabody  
  That's right katattack set em straight. I was just anout to do so. EL WASN't MARRIED TO JANET. And Janet doesn't have bail money for any DeBarge family memeber. What is up with that family? First James,Chico & now El what does that family like going to jail? El needs to get on Crest white stripes they are only $15 @ Target!
   

redclass  
  Janet was married to James, not El. But then again, it's [SPAM]; not exactly a credible source of info...just entertainment. It would help if they could be right at least half the time.

  Along with James, Chico and now El who have had trouble with the law, their brother Bobby did as well. As far as I know, Chico and Bobby were in jail on the same drug possession charges. Bobby who was in the group SWITCH died in the mid-90s of AIDS.

  What up peeps!! As everyone clearly stated Janet was NOT married to El, it was James...anyway he looks good, almost still the same. The man is 47, give him a break, his teeth may be a little brown but I bet his voice still sounds like an angel!!

  Not sure if some folks read the article but it did say "Janet Jackson's former brother-in-law" not her ex. Just wanted to put that out there for ya'll that might have missed that one . . .

MTO: Where do ya'll get this stuff?!? Ya'll get copies of people's warrants and inmate information and everything else. How do ya'll do it?

  MTO corrected what it said before. Earlier this morning, it did say Janet's former husband.
   

allright  
  You can look up most inmate information on the internet. There is more information on the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department web site. On the left, there is a link to inmate information. From there you can click on inmate locator and type in Eldra DeBarge's name.

harlmsphynest  
  Did anyone actually READ the post?? It clearly says "Janet Jackson's brother-in-law"...

Eldra always looked like he had a little sugar in his tank...but if it is drugs he does not "need Jesus"...he needs help. Drug abuse is a disease which affects the physical body. It is not solely a matter of "weak mental constitution" although the catalyst could be cause by psychotropic issues like depression or anxiety.

Keep your head up El.

Every last one of you guys has been locked up. And do you want to end up like your older brother Bobby? (Rest his soul)

I pray your time in jail will do just what God wants it to do. Keep your head up and an open heart El..all things are possible with God on your side.
   

Lis  
  They put Janet's name on this story just because she was married to James.

I wonder if it will ever come out about the "secret" baby Janet had with James, that the youngest brother (not Chico, the one under him that came out trying to rap 2yrs ago. Don't know his name.) told the media about. If it is true and ever does come out, that girl would be about 18 or 19 now.

  Good morning cuzins!!!
Poor El...probably got teased so much and snapped! James has been locked up as well for sometime. Who knew the Debarges like jail like that...I guess that's really what they meant on "I LIKE IT"!

  OK PEOPLE!!! You guys should know by now that MTO CONSTANTLY posts incorrect shyt and corrects it after one of the bloggers points it out. With that being said, OBVIOUSLY THE ARTICLE INITIALLY SAID EX-HUSBAND. Use you head people, not that many people are going to mistake "BROTHER-IN-LAW" for "EX-HUSBAND"!!!! Notice that all of the earlier posts said that Janet wasn't married to El, BEFORE the correction was made. Come on now! Sheesh!

ya'll change shyt like a baby's diaper. El is locked-up again but there is NO BAIL so he's stuck in there until court. He has been arrested for drugs a few times in San Francisco and did some time in the SF County Jail. If you want to check it out here's the REAL arrest record from the LA County sheriff, himself. http://app4.lasd.org/iic/ajis_search.cfm then type in Debarge, Eldra then hit search, then hit booking #.

  @ lifegroove

He actually had a long career. The brothers had a group called "Switch" that did well before they became "DeBarge" then he went solo after that. Some of y'all don't know nothing about the song "I call your name." I'm not that old, my mom used to play it all of the time. lol.

On another note, why is his teeth so yellow? Lookin' like he can spit lemonade!!!

Lis  
  Switch was compiled with the two older brothers of the Debarge family. Bobby and Tommy Debarge. The other band members were not related to them.

Jermaine Jackson signed the young group and that's probably why Janet got with James. The families have been working together at Motown for years.

Debarge later came out and included all siblings, Randy, El, Bunny, James and Mark. After a sucessful career that included everything from music to movie and tv show appearances, El decided it was time for a solo-career. (Bunny left to start a family)

My family is from Grand Rapids and Detroit as this family is, and in spite of all of the tragedy this family has gone through, I will always be a fan of all of their music. Everyone from Switch all the way down to Chico Debarge.

(Long Time, No See is STILL my fave CD from him!)

hippiechic  
  Thank you, IMdiog11 for getting at Lifegroove. I was just getting ready to do the same thing!! Just because somebody doesn't have number 1 albums and videos every year doesn't mean their career is over. El was still doing shows and singing some jazz stuff with groups like Fourplay. Not to mention, he should be living comfortably still from the royalties from all their #1 hits. Lifegroove you must be in your teens or something. The DeBarges made some good songs that are sill being heavily played.

There has alway been a history of drug abuse in their family. Bunny might be the only one who didn't use them.
   

allegriaymaria  
  why is this so SHOCKING the Debarge familia likes 3 hots and cot that just how they do. I still wanna give it El then Chico can come his jailbird asz in right behind him mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm and all i will say is aye papi aye yiyiyiyiyiyiyiiyiyiyiiyyiyiyiyi juepa!!!!

READ!!!!!!!!!! Nowhere in the artice does MTO say he is Janet's ex. It says her former brother in law.
   

kimkelmor  
  Bunny used to live near me, and she was strung out on drugs at one time too. Chico was hear a few months ago visiting my cousin, and his azz couldn't even stand or sit still for 3 straight seconds; he needed a hit so bad, and he looked like he weighed 80 pounds. Bobby, from Switch, died of AIDS, and that was after he served like 5 or 6 years in jail. This family has been through it, man. All that damn wasted talent.

  Does anyone remember the youngest Debarge brother's name? He came out a couple years ago, trying to promote an album, but he was trying to say that Janet and James had a secret child that she's managed to keep out of the public eye for all these years.
   

Heaven  
  Yeah, the article says former brother-in-law it doesn't say anything about him and Janet being married. Laughing...ya'll are going on a tangent for what? (ROTFL)

There family has always had problems with drugs, from the older brothers in the group "switch" being hooked on drugs, james and chico. Wow I didn't know that Bunny was on them, but if she was it doesn't surprise me.

  @kimkelmor,

Any idea what Bunny looks like now? Because in spite of the fact that all of the Debarge men were pretty handsome, I don't really recall HER ever being that attractive.

  Lis:

Bunny was always pretty, and the drugs didn't seem to affect her looks. She's kicked the habit, or at least that was the last I heard. Peaches was the one with the more serious drug problem. She wasn't in the singing group. Chico's very vocal about all their problems, including the abuse they all went through growing up at the hands of their dad. He says they all have their drug of preference, i.e., one of them prefers crack, one of them prefers coke, one prefers heroin. I can't remember who he said did which drug, but his thing is heroin. He used to date Nona Gaye, and he says she's the one who got him strung out. Listening to him, it's easy to understand why they all turned to drugs, and why the group fell apart. I'm surprised some of them are still alive.

  @kimkelmor,

Wow! And I didn't know Nona did drugs. I know her dad dabbled in them from time to time, but not enough to ruin his career. Man, so sad!

  @katattack, they didn't say that El Debarge is Janet's ex, they said he's her former brother in law and that is what he is.
   

zebrahead  
  @kimkelmor, Nona Gaye got him strung out as in introducing him to drugs? OR drove him to abuse them?!?

i've never heard of Nona Gaye messin with that stuff...

  Lis:

Both of Nona's parents had drug abuse issues, including Marvin. Nona's been doing drugs since her teens. She's another one who had a lot to endure growing up, especially after her father got killed when she was 9, and he had no money left after taxes to even support her and her mom. So I guess it was their personal tragedies that brought her and Chico together, but it was definitely a bad connection. Both of them came from family histories of drug abuse, both of them had tried and failed to quit, so naturally when they got together, it was destined to be a disaster. Chico really loved her, and he took their breakup hard. He looks horrible.

  It does not say that he is her ex it say he is her former brother in-law.

  @ Lis:

And another thing I forgot to mention, when Chico was here and talking about his family and his issues, this brotha broke down and cried. I'm talking in front of total strangers. And nobody knew what to do because nobody was expecting it. He was so sad. I wish all the DeBarges well. They seem like very cool, down to earth people.

  @kimkelmor,

Wooooooow, Chico did THAT??? And I've always known about Marvin Gaye, in fact, a lot of those Motown artists did SOME sort of substance, including Smokey Robinson, who did a lot of the artists' song writing.

But, dannnnnng, Moms too? I know this isn't funny, but I wonder if Marvin's died was on something when he shot him that day. That was one of the saddest days I'll ever remember.

  Marvin's died

  A while back I heard that El Debarge and Nona Gaye were frequenting crack houses in the LA area. They have been known crackheads for a while now.
   

Love_Trinity  
  Wasn't El Debarge in jail before? or was that Chico DeBarge? which one of them did a video dress in prison attire?

  This is again why I say there should be a ban on who can have children!!! This is how their lives turn out when you have completely incompetent parents....
Not one of these kids have gone the total straight and narrow,,,its sad when ur whole family is doped out...
kimkelmor,

what kind of abuse did they endure? This just seems so extreme. Chico? He was so sexy...on heroin.... I remember an interview he did when his first cd came out (which I still have by the way) and he told the reporter that if music doesnt work out for him then he'll have to go back to selling and taking drugs to make money, get by and ease the pain...I just thought that was so sad...You've already predicted your future...

They were all molested. And where their mom was when this was happening, I don't know.

  Ms. Kitty Katattack try again boo boo, your wrong yourself you need to read again. I tell you people sure no how to jump the gun. MTO said, "Janet Jackson's former brother in-law is in a California prison."
Go back to school! lol!
   

Deltasky  
  Well, remeber the group called "SWITCH"? One of his brothers was the lead singer in that group that died of AIDS while he ws in JAIL on drug charges back in the 1980's.

For one family to look so GOOD they sure do have a LOT of trajedy in their lives.

Damn shame.
   

DreDog  
  Aww dang...and people please reread the article...it says "Janet Jackson's BROTHER-IN-LAW" MTO got it right for a change. That's too bad, I ain't into pretty boys but if he uses some Crest White Strips" then he would still look aiight.

leslady  
  ISIS thank goodness someone else read the artilce correctly. I was reading the post and started thinking that I had misread what was said. IT SAYS BROTHER IN LAW NOT EX HUSBAND. I have no idea what he's in for, but if he can't make the bail he isn't doing to well these days. This is sad. I think he's the third one of the Debarge Brothers to go to jail. Oh and I never thought he looked good, so I say yeah he's aged, but he is older now.

  What's REALLY SAD is the reading comprehension of alot of you making posts. IF YOU KNOW HOW TO READ, the article says "Janet Jackson's EX-BROTHER-IN LAW. That's who El DeBarge is! Janet was married to his brother JAMES! All of you people trying to "correct" MTO should have paid more attention when you were IN SCHOOL! YOU IDIOTS CAN'T READ!
   

D_STARR  
  Yeah I did read ex brother in law as well. I guess trying to write first prevents you from reading properly and comprehending

  uhhhh you might wanna check ya sources cause hes NOT in jail for drug possession...Hes in jail for felony level DOMESTIC ABUSE!!

  This family has been troubled as many as you have stated for a long time. I recently read on the internet an excerpt from their sister Bunny's (who was strung out on drugs for a long time) upcoming book. There was sexual abuse from the father (much like which has been alleged about the Jacksons') of everyone the boys and the girls. In addition there was suppose to have been some incesterous relationships between the siblings (I think Bobby was suppose to have raped Tommy). It's deep. If anyone is interested I can find the website I found the information on and post it. Sexual abuse is just so horrible. Some people never recover from it. I use to work with the father's second wife and their son was killed a couple of years ago in a car accident. Generational curses are real.

  @ mi5059 yeah i had heard some of this. but you know when you "hear" it you think it is just word of mouth. still makes it sad.
