Luther Campell's Daughter Writing a Tell All


One of 2 Live Crew founder Luther Campbell's daughters is writing a 'Mommy Dearest' type tell all book...

Last year Luke's daughter Lucretia posted a video online blasting Luke calling him a woman beating absentee father [click here if you missed that]. Luke responded to Lucretia in a radio interview saying he only had one child and that all the rest were just sperm donations [click here if you missed that].

Luke's harsh response spurned one of his other daughters, Shanetris, to write a book. In telling her story Shane reveals the difficulty her mother had getting child support from Luke, being raped by her stepfather at 15 and stripping in Miami at 17.

Shane writes in I Am Not My Father's Daughter,
My dad was now a multi millionaire. So my mom hired a Miami attorney to sue him for child support.

One night, my mom and dad were arguing about the child support case and he asked to speak with me.

I picked up the receiver to hear the only father I have ever known tell me that I wasn’t his. “I’m sorry, you’re not my child. Don’t ever call me again,” he said flatly. I cried. His voice on the other end of the receiver, like his true character, was cold and heartless.

Through painful wails, screams, tears, and most of all through the pieces of my shattered heart, I screamed, “He said I wasn’t his!” My uncles were also screaming and crying. One by one , my grandmother tried to calm us all down, but the house was in a complete uproar.

My mom had her own small victory a few months later when she was awarded a lump sum of several thousand dollars back pay plus $1,200 monthly to care for me.

Determined to have the last word, my dad had the money delivered to our house in a Brink’s truck. In pennies.
