Last week soul music legend, Gladys Knight, was forced to publicly deny claims made by her youngest son, Shanga Hankerson, that she was being forced out on tour by her decades younger fourth husband, William McDowell, despite her alleged cognitive decline [click
here if you missed that].
McDowell seemingly responds...
...with a pointed post on Instagram.

Hmmmmm, interesting
the shade.
well she has to take care of her kid (eye roll)
What kind of cryptic question is he asking? Seems like deflection to me. We see you Sir. We need to know Ms Gladys is working on her own free will. My grandaddy would Never have my grandma doing nothing she didn't wanna do. Then again, he makes sure the bills are paid so she don't have to work at her big age.
Where Barry at?
That boy needs a job.
Gladys is on tour with her friends. They wouldn't allow abuse. Shanga just wants to get his hands on her money.
Family can be the worst, do the worst, and lie the worst.
Black Is The Hardest to Crack. Sis Gladys Still Cute.
Wow, next to GK you can see the big age difference. How much younger is he? He looks late 40ty-ish. Does he have a job or is he running her pockets? LOLO
Isn't this the son that caused his mother's restaurant to be closed because he was mismanaging the money, owed taxes and wasn't paying the employees correctly. He should stop.
Yeah Shanga is the son who had didn't file payroll taxes for the restaurants, BUT he also sees his mother in an advanced state of decline and doesn't want her on stage when she should be taking these later years in stride. Ms. Gladys is unfortunately in the season of her life where she needs to be enjoying sunrises and sunsets -- spending time with the grandbabies and loved ones.
@8:06 You definitely never been in your 80's. Ain't no sunrise and sunset season. You seen Jane Fonda lately? Diana Ross? This ain't the 1950's when grandma went to bed by 9 with a cup of warm milk.
@8:55 PM Say it louder! I saw the opening of The Queens Tour in Las Vegas in May. Gladys looked and sounded good other than being escorted to the stage as she should have been as The Empress of Soul!
@8:55 but I have seen Ms Gladys in person in the past 3 years for work and behind the scenes. She is no longer able to to remember everything and able to make decisions for herself. So she's not the same as Diana and Jane.
The elephant in the room is that a bad marriage can age and weaken you. Diana and Jane are single as far as I know and don't have to answer to nobody, and nobody there to suck up all their energy. Hence they look great.
