I love how Rene sees the best/beauty (and potential) in everyone/everything, and how he doesn't have anything negative to say about anyone....very humble and appreciative.
First and foremost I didn't like the fact that he was even secretly married to my boo Janet from the beginning! LoL Apparently he inserted himself into her life and somewhat helped to shape and mold her career. However, the stunt he pulled when they decided to divorce was whack! Like so many other men who are married to superstars (a'la kendu Isaac's & Mary j Blige) they wanna rip off their ex-wives and take more than they came into the relationship with! I don't respect men like this. I think Janet gave Renee (along with Justin Timberlake AND other men in her life) Waaay too much grace in her documentary special! God bless Janet for being a strong woman in the end 👑💪🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
He didn't just "somewhat help" her. He really was a major creative force in her career. He co-wrote and co-produced every single song on Rhythm Nation through the Velvet Rope album. He helped her conceptualize every tour. He suggested Janet choose Tina as her lead choreographer. Janet acknowledged in an interview in 1997 that he did all things without taking writing credits, and she finally added his name in the credits on "Velvet Rope". Janet owes a HUGE portion of her success to him. Her creativity level took a major hit after they split up. I love Janet and will always be a fan, but he deserved a lot more money than he got in the divorce.
@@hutch1197 Yada yada yada... He did all those things and still the court only awarded him 10 mil.😶 If he TRULY loved her as his wife he would have humbled himself with what he was given and moved on with his life!..Was it about love? Or was it about money?🤔 He didn't give Janet talent, she was already born with that! he only gave her a vision.
"He only gave her a vision". Ha! He co-wrote and co-produced every song from the RN through the VR albums. He directed the "Again" and "That's The Way Love Goes", two of the biggest videos of her career. He did the entire photoshoot for the VR album. He chose her choreographers. And so much more. Janet wouldn't have half the career she did without Rene. Look at all of her albums after he left. Nothing compares to the creative output that occurred during her marriage to Rene. You can discount it all you want, but you're just denying it because of your blind stanning for Janet. Why should someone dedicate their life to the success of another person and then walk away with a fraction of the empire he helped build. If a woman spent her marriage propping up her husband's business, we'd all demand she get paid her due in the divorce. $10 million sounds nice until you realize she's worth $250 million. She got off easy.
@@hutch1197 LOL okay sir! Mr President of Renee elizondo's fan club!..All that you say may very well be true but he still only got 10 million 😕 A real man makes his own money. It's interesting how he did all these incredible things for Janet but he was never able to duplicate the same Success for another artist! 🤔 He's not a timbaland, a puff daddy, or a Jimmy jam and Terry lewis! Still a broke down, washed-up, tired ass dancer looking like Mr Miyagi from The karate kid! LOL but God bless him though! and God bless you too sir 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@bigjay4862 Apparently, he didn't have a problem with that $10 million dollars. Also, Rene was an addict, which means he should be grateful he got that because Janet could have easily used that against him. Instead, she took the high road and cut her losses. Stop making him out to be a saint and a victim. He has moved on and so has she. Let it go.
Omg, I'm in tears. Met Rene during the Rhythm Nation tour and I introduced myself to him and I acknowledged him for him and not in the shadow of Janet, but her confidant. I'm glad to see him sober and great. ❤
Glad they didn’t bombard him with question about Janet, he’s got his own things going on which is great! I’m a Janet fan no doubt but that doesn’t define his life, he’s always been good to her fans and is an interesting person beyond their relationship. Thanks for the interview guys and good luck Rene! Awesome that he added me on FB and actually talks to me/the fans about his new projects.
I didn’t get all that from him! He was a grand manipulator that Janet even questioned whether he was into her because of business or actually her! He got what he wanted at the end!
bingo Janet is sharp think eventually she got a vibe from this guy that she needed to move on...think she iced him out and eventually he asked for a divorce
I honestly don’t like the way he tried to vicariously live through Janet Jackson. Yes, he helped her creative process to an extent but honestly it just seemed like he wanted to be as famous as she was.
Latoya Jackson had the same problem with her manager/ husband Jack Gordon as well. Maybe it’s the way these Jackson siblings were raised ??? Not that I’m blaming any of them.
That’s what you took from the doc? I didn’t get that same feeling. He seemed very controlling and a bit opportunistic at times. I’m sure not all was bad but something was surely off.
@@phinegyrl sure but Rene was an Alcoholic & drug addict. So sadly it must have been very painful & distressing for poor Janet to deal with all of his issues. Maybe Rene was very insecure & that’s why he was really controlling because he didn’t want to lose Janet ?? Who knows. But I hear ya it’s not right to treat your wife like that. Especially Janet because we all know she’s a real sweetheart!
Love is forgiveness I’m so glad that Rene is doing good ,he’s really a good person I’m truly happy for him I wish him the best of life has to offer 🙏❤️👍
I know Rene was a big supporter of Janet getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s obvious that he still has a lot of admiration for her.
He is always best known for being in a relationship with Janet Jackson From Rhythm Nation to The Velvet Rope albums that's when it all begin til it ended Great episode Loved, loved the Janet Jackson documentary
Everyone gets old ! It’s all part of the human journey & experience. Rene would look 20 years younger if he dyed his hair & beard but that’s his choice imo. He looks great 👍 he looks healthy & he comes across very happy & content in his life. This is the gift of sobriety & the great inner work 🙏
Love this just got done watching Janet documentary and now know who you are. I hope you got your compensation for all your hard work with her residual. Extremely talented. She was lucky to have you in her life. I also old school 😃 and love the back street.
I always got that from him, and the fact that he was so hands on in her career, made me think he was in it for himself, as well. Too bad she was blinded by love, because I saw right through him from the start. An opportunist.
Listening to the velvet rope story- isn't it possible celebrities at Janet's level are separated for security reasons? If she sat with randomers she could be swarmed or even attacked! Denying that is just plain stupid! Janet admitted Rene always wanted her to look like a pop star as opposed to a real person! Janet was his wife, not a trophy to please him!!!
I know Renee miss Janet so much, Renee why u and Janet broke up this is the million dollar question 🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔🤨 what happened with u and Janet ❗ beautiful Christine chastity lampkin
@@frenchiemoni1665 I love Janet and shes my spirit queen. Everyone comes into and out of your life for a reason. god's plan. he assisted her immensely and spiritually for some of her music and i believe she herself is at peace with it all.
Velvet rope was a disappointment, apart from Together Again were there any other big hits. Got till it’s gone was too weak to be a lead single. Rene, you worked on this album, take some of the blame.
@ameya433yeah I guess. On a brighter note I was pleasantly surprised by her unbreakable album. She adopted a more pop sound and dropped the sexually charged songs, I would say her best album since rhythm nation if u asked me however a new album is way way overdue.
@ameya433 20 yo lol I don’t even remember a single song from that album. She should have left the sexual image at the Janet album but she pushed that image in our faces and it backfired spectacularly at super bowl and destroyed her career. No way was that wardrobe malfunction an accident.
He was really a talented guy. It goes to show behind the manufactured pop star like Janet are creative minds like Rene Elizondo, Paula Abdul, etc. She was really the less talented Jackson and can no way compete with the skill, talent and artistry of her brother.
The voice of delusion. Considering you are talentless we will take your comment with less than a grain of salt. elizondo is only known because of Janet. Don't get it twisted. If he was so great without her he would be a household name.

Who is here after the new Janet documentary
I’ve been here since 1987….
Meeee
I love how Rene sees the best/beauty (and potential) in everyone/everything, and how he doesn't have anything negative to say about anyone....very humble and appreciative.
He was such a great guest of ours!
Thank you Rene! He's the reason I got to sit front row center at the Rhythm Nation concert!

This was the best episode/show yet! i loved it please bring Rene back on again!!!
I didn’t get all that from him! He was a grand manipulator that Janet even questioned whether he was into her because of business or actually her! He got what he wanted at the end!
bingo Janet is sharp think eventually she got a vibe from this guy that she needed to move on...think she iced him out and eventually he asked for a divorce
He was a F user
Definitely. I remember their divorce, my mom kept shaking her head saying all that she worked for and here he comes trying to take it.
He got the beach house valued at 10 miles, and 5mil cash. He got nothing compared to what he could've had.
I can't stand him. He definitely didn't deserve Janet
I honestly don’t like the way he tried to vicariously live through Janet Jackson. Yes, he helped her creative process to an extent but honestly it just seemed like he wanted to be as famous as she was.

Where u getting that from?
"You didn't want to be with me, you wanted to BE me."--Missy Elliott from "Son of a Gun (Remix)" by Janet Jackson. 🤔
Just watched the documentary and really became a fan of Rene.He seemed very genuine and really wanted to see Janet shine.Just seems like a great soul.
That’s what you took from the doc? I didn’t get that same feeling. He seemed very controlling and a bit opportunistic at times. I’m sure not all was bad but something was surely off.

Willie E 5d ago … yu should watch the documentary he F use her
And he would always have a cam on filming like when he, Jan, Tina and Tish went to Hawaii and she had to tell him to stop like 3x filing her mother..
Funny he didn’t mention that Malibu beach house he got from Janet in the divorce settlement 🤨
Thank you.
Yep...Janet sure mentioned it though in "Son of a Gun."🤣🤣🤣
René is such a great story teller. I wish he could get his own podcast or something.

Dahhhhmmm he not that olde...jeesh..One thing I can say is he had an amazing artistic eye..Talent undeniable.
He is 60!
Holy Shit!!! He is alive!!!
He is still gorgeous,he aged very well
I would have never recognized Rene time is moving!
Ok?! Stops for no one
He is always best known for being in a relationship with Janet Jackson
From Rhythm Nation to The Velvet Rope albums that's when it all begin til it ended
Great episode
Loved, loved the Janet Jackson documentary
Rene is a good spontaneous storyteller.... nice hat...
Great piece guys. Rene' is a gem. Good egg.
WOULD'VE NEVER RECOGNIZED HIM OTHERWISE.........DONE GOT OLD!!!!!!!!!
well the man is 30 years older...maybe if he dyed his hair ...but he still looks good
Everyone gets old ! It’s all part of the human journey & experience. Rene would look 20 years younger if he dyed his hair & beard but that’s his choice imo. He looks great 👍 he looks healthy & he comes across very happy & content in his life. This is the gift of sobriety & the great inner work 🙏
If you're blessed, you're going to get older too. Just hope you age gracefully because how the process will look is unpredictable.
Either that or die young. Neither appeals to me.
And ugly
Love this just got done watching Janet documentary and now know who you are. I hope you got your compensation for all your hard work with her residual. Extremely talented. She was lucky to have you in her life. I also old school 😃 and love the back street.
Hopefully I won’t sound too vulgar but imo that man is still fine as hell. He has always been.
Damnnnn! That’s him 😮
Wow he aged Janet looks a lot younger I’m confused
Most black ppl age well genetically unless they don’t take good care of themselves
After like 27, alot of white/light Latinos age like spilled milk too!
it's that Black don't crack and them Jackson genes...
Ain't it funny that the way you feel shows on your face...EW&F

I love me some A.J, so handsome Omg!!!
it's interesting to know about the birth of Velvet Rope
Wow! I would not have recognized him as Janet's ex. But I suspect life's been good to him.
Would loved to have heard more about his relationship with Janet.
That’s not what this interview was about though. He’s done other interviews about it
Depending on the divorce decree, and considering he received a settlement, he may not be able to say as much.
@@faith2xxx Exactly.
the man been married since 2010 and has a 10 year old child with his wife...I think he and Janet have moved on
