As we all know, celebs are people just like us, who have their fair share of hardships in life, but this one is a shocker! Patti Labelle has claimed that an extremely well-known, iconic soul singer made an effort to rape her in the 60's. We thank Patti for sharing her stories along with us, as just about everyone has read about her pain and her struggles. Remember she shared with us that her three sisters died of cancer when they were within their 40s. If she had neglected her sisters in her obsessive journey for music recognition, she shared with us her guilty feelings of wondering. "Don't Block The Blessings., but her story of being sexually assaulted was one that I hadn't heard her speak of before until I read her book" It was Jackie Wilson who attempted to rape her backstage at a theater, according to Patti. Here's her account of the things happened that day via michronicleonline.com:

Patti Labelle has had her share of downs, among which involves being the victim of an attempted rape by another from the greatest singers and performers of all time, the iconic Jackie Wilson. It happened, LaBelle alleges, in early 1960s. At that time she was with the group Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. The scene was backstage with a theater and LaBelle happened to become alone. Someone, she says, came out behind her.

It absolutely was Jackie Wilson, she recalled. He was kissing my neck and i also could smell the liquor on his breath. As I struggled to free myself, Jackie's accomplice started dragging me in backwards. I was kicking with all my might, but I was no match for him. Next thing she knew, she was locked in a room.

Jackie started touching. No one could hear me, even though i started screaming. I didn't have a knife, but I had my voice. I started screaming even louder, at the top of my lungs, and i also can scream every bit as loud because i can sing.

She continued, It worked. Suddenly they backed off. They let me go. I ran as fast as I could in the direction of the lights. Gladys Knight didn't deny the accuracy of Patti LaBelle's story, but remembers Jackie Wilson as a perfect gentleman who always went out of his way to help Gladys Knight & the Pips in the group's early days. One man, two remembrances."

Geesh, this can be deep! It's also a reminder that again, legends are people just like us- some of them flawed and some of them not so flawed, although it's extremely hard to hear stories like this about legends whom we have great respect for from an artistic standpoint.
