I don't think Cindy and Bob were together at the time of his death. He called to see his young child and you believe she's at the level of a Wife :). Actually, the woman who was the love of his life was the daughter of (at that time) Gabon's President. They met in the US (when she was studying) and they remained together until his death. His mother was also very close to her. I forgot her name as she give no interviews. Perhaps someone will mention it in the comments.
Bob had several other concubines other than Cindy. If he was so in love with her he would have divorced Rita and made her the main, He would not have cheated with the multitude of other women that he did after knowing Cindy. Remember that their whirlwind romance only happened for about four years. 3 of those he spent tryingto get her attention and a chance (listen to I dont want to wait in vain) but of course because of the child they kept in touch and kept in connection yes he has something a little bit extra for that particular concubine over all the others but not enough to make her wife and replace Rita cause Rita is irreplaceable. Like I said before, all she has is a child and memories but Rita holds the legacy. Damien would have been famous without being a Marley because he’s really and actually talented. Maybe not on the level of success that he has now but I believe without being a Marley he would have still been in the business and doing his thing
Since Cindy love Bob so much why right after Bob died 3 months after she got married smh and the man she married divorce her caz Bob and the man knew that Cindy is nothing but a gold digger
If Bob was an ordinary Rasta man Cindy wouldn't spit on him.......Rita loved him when he was poor. Rita was emotionally abused. Cindy is revered because she fits the social expectation of beauty. A side chick who brings pain to another woman is selfish and self absorbed. I am sure she would NOT like it if anyone slept with her husband. It's cruel and narcissistic. Being beautiful does not excuse bad behavior.
Cindy was in the movie. When he went to London, there was a white woman in the background while he was on the phone with Rita. His children did not leave her out. They just did not make her place prominent in the movie. That was all she deserved. The movie was about his music and not his women. Who cares about her feelings. At the end of the day, she decided to have an affair with a married man. She deserves no recognition.
How did Cindy contribute to Bob’s Marley career growth during and after his death? The movie showed Bob’s musical evolution and Rita played a major role in that. Cindy is part of his personal life. If they had mentioned her, they would have to mention alllll the other children’s mothers as well. Let’s focus on the essence of the movie.
Exactly good point. I have always considered myself a Bob Marley fan but I became a bigger Bob Marley fan after this movie. I didn't know much about his life at all and even I understood while watching it that it was not a biopic film as a lot of people tried to make it seem. It was focusing on his time during those couple of years of the late 70's of trying to bring peace between the two political parties and Jamaica like you said. I think this movie is misunderstood by a lot of people. It wasn't the time or place to go all into his personal life and all that. For that, people need to go watch a documentary or help fund a series on his life. This movie wasn't gonna be it
Cindy was shown twice in the movie, when Bob was in the UK scenes, and when he was speaking to Rita at a telephone public booth scene, Cindy's character stood by waiting for him. Yesss she was portrayed in the movie.
1, rita was his wife, all his kids called her mama rita born from her or not. Only 1 of his kids called cindy mum. 2, she married 2 mins after him dead and was pregnant to him. 3, he had other baby mums he sang about. 4, she was only public for publicity purpose as she was only baby mum that was miss world. 5, rita helped build AND maintain his legacy before and after he was dead. No one compares to our maroon queen rita.
@@KanyeEast-sx1iibut to be fair Cindy played the game with him. I'm sure she knows that Bob was married and didn't ever stop and say no we shouldn't do this, you're married just like Bob didn't either
Cindy was dating a guy who was part of the Little Anthony and the Imperials group but when she found out that he was only an employee and not a member of the group itself she just dropped him. Yes, Bob had bought the house on Old Hope Road where she rented a small apartment from Chris Blackwell. Some people say she was dating Blackwell but I don't know if it's true. And Bob starting to pursue her but she was not interested in him until she found out that he was famous. But Bob was also dating her friends while he was seeing her, even 2 of them who were sisters. Bob became popular worldwide after Eric Clapton cover his song I shot the Sherif and took it to No. 1 on the US top 100 in 1974. Clapton who was very popular at the time, also gave Bob a lot of props in the media helping him to gain popularity. When Bob met Cindy it's not like she was rich or anything like that ... she was working at a night club and Bob financed her trip to the Miss World pageant, put money into her Craft Company and bought her a house. She on the other hand gave him a place in higher society and lots of publicity in the international news after she won Miss World. It seems as if he had a special love for her. All the ray ray about her relationship with Marley yet 4 months after he passed she got married to Senator Tom Tavares Finson. Where was the morning there? If you want to know more there are 2 books written one by Rita Marley herself and the other by Bob's Manager, Don Taylor called Marley and Me.
Bob Marley also had his eye on another beauty queen Sandra Kong but Sandra didn't bring it to Jamaica like Cindy. Sandra was the favorite to win Miss World the year before Cindy but the Jamaican government didn't want her to participate because of Apartheid so she didn't. Cindy was not the first Jamaica to win Miss World. Before her we had a girl from Kingston, Carole Joan Crawford who won in 1962 and shocked the world..
@@BO_Riddle Cindy was beautiful and Bob very attractive so they came together. Bob needed to respect that he was married, it must have been very painful for Miss World even when she speaks about her son to me she speaks as an hurt woman who really loved and wanted to be Bobs wife. I think she has two other children not sure who she married but her heart seems to belong to Bob. Cindy isn't going to say maybe because she has her other children.
Bob was also an adulterer. If a man can have many woman then a woman should be able to as well. What I said is bs bcs it’s quite nasty to run around. I just think that it’s wrong to be married and run around with other ppl. Bob shouldn’t have got married.
The part about the funeral is ridiculous. I don't care if Bob loved Cindy. There was no need for her to sit in the front with his wife. I realize more and more in this world, everything goes.
If Cindy was allowed to sit next to Rita then all the other women he had children with should have sit up front to. Regardless of who she was she had no rights. A mistress is not a wife. She was not a Marley. Bob could have changed that at any time but; he didn't. Rita was Bob's Queen. Cindy was one of Bob's children's Mother. Cindy should Enjoy the time she shared with Bob; don't spoil the beautiful memories by attacking his wife. Don" ruin the relationship the children share with one another. it's not worth it because Bob is no longer with us.
How come Bob love this woman so bad and still get so many other girls pregnant after her ,?i thought she was his world ,Bob was a womaniser and had A LOT SWEEET TALK😂😂😂😂😂,RITA BIG UP YOURSELF AND GIVE NUFF THANKS TO THE FATHER,YOUR CHILDREN ARE GROWN AND NOW THEY CAN STAND UP FOR YOU.
Rita was doing the same thing. And she got pregnant by other man. The type of guy that Bob was he gave him their name and told the world it was his child and now it comes back to bite him.
@@maureengolding2980 ? Bob changed the reggae music to human awareness you must be a country music fan that believe country music was started by artist we see today. No they learned it from slaves playing the banjo telling their stories. The Devil cannot create only mock!
@@maureengolding2980 Sad you don't no nothing and proud to be ignorant! Cindy was the mistress and the maid who cleaned up after Rita leftovers and was happy to be that!
@@maureengolding2980Well thankfully your opinion about Bob not being an icon doesn't matter because he was, is and will always be a beloved GLOBAL icon all over the world. No one else like Bob Marley. Clearly, you have poor taste in music and sad you can't acknowledge what a revolutionary and influential icon he is. You're definitely in the minority with this one.
I think that Cindy's treatment up until even Bob's funeral PROVES that, "girlfriend and boyfriend" mean nothing. As important as Cindy was to Bob, where did she end up sitting at in the funeral? IN THE BACK LOL! While Rita sat up front. Until you're married(this goes for both men and women, but especially for women), you're "commitment" means nothing.
Cindy and Bob loved each other. I think if Bob was still alive Maybe he would have find a way to marry Cindy as well. It is quite obvious that Bob believes in polygamous relationships, but because he was living in the Western world that doesn't allow it. Cindy could have gotten any man that she wanted, but love is something that can't be bought or sold.
Yes she was a side peice and known fact but every interview she makes she is shading Rita by taunting her with the relationship she had with her husband. She was a part of Rita's pain and she wasnt humble with the place she had in his life in light of the fact that her very existence was the cause of that pain. At the end of the day, all she has is MEMORIES but Rita holds the LEGACY. I'll take the legacy thank you. Rita's kids told this story and thier position is, that a source of thier moms pain and sadness should not be included, and thats thier right. I cant imagine what it is for a child to see your mom crying, see your mom sad and knowing the reason. A side peice who just would not shut up about her wonderful romance and baby WITH YOUR HUSBAND, with your FATHER??!! . Rita is a HERO to put up with some things that most women wouldnt be able to do (including me). Seeing all these women (not just Cindy) disrespect her to her face, Her husband disrespecting her to her face. Her kids know it see it, can't do a thing about it. writing and singing love songs to a woman that she now has to perform them same songs on stage? Who taking that kind of disrespect in 24? That pretty smooth white hair would be looking like steel wool when I was done with her,. Rita is a far better woman than I could ever be. Kudos to her for keeping her eye on the goal and not on the sidey
You must have been the third person in the relationship. How you know that … I don’t know . If she was that loved he would have divorced her and married Cindy .
Cindy was a side piece. He was married to Rita, any other woman would be a side piece. The Bob Marley movie was very good. The most important part of his life was his music. Bringing peace!!🇯🇲🇯🇲
People love mess! The movie was NOT about "the mess". It was about "the moment". Everybody already knows "the mess". People disgust me with this! Rita and Cindy get along inspite what she did with HER husband. She did NOT deserve a front seat at his funeral..how disrespectful for anyone to think otherwise. Rita took enough disrespect with so much grace. She owed Cindy NOT ONE DAMN THING!
They wanted Bob to have that narrative that he loved his white woman . So it can go against everything he was singing about ! And for black woman to feel devalued.
I #Totally!!! disagree with this podcaster & his remarks. ❗No Respect for infidelity‼️ •4Real, that's disrespectful. Ppl put Bob Marley on such a high pedestal, regardless of the fact that he was a very famous musician & money-making "brand" as he's described in the industry. ✴️Its 2bad tht some married ppl & so-called "side chicks" can't respect themselves enuff to honestly also respect the sanctity of marriage. #TooMuch INFIDELITYdeh'Bout!!!
At the end of the day, Cindy was side chick… She has to respect Rita and play her position. If the shoe was on the other foot she would want the side chick to play her position.
Some women accept this type of behavior this is why it still goes on so much. Ladies love your self enough to move on. He was a womanizer it was all wrong and disrespectful to his wife and the woman that knew he was married are just as wrong as him and will receive the same karma and hurt they put the wife through.
I don’t care two straws about tricks that mess with other women’s legal husbands. I believe the family puts up with her foolishness because they love Damian. He was in loving pictures with the other women but they not trying to claim a wife’s status. Rita is Queen even if he did have feelings for any of the sides. She was part of his struggles and had staying power. Like Ziggy said “ride or die wife”
I believe that Cindy was a fantasy that came through this beauty queen living beside his studio and any man would try to go after that married or not. She wasn’t from a culture or a society that would’ve liked and accepted a man like Bob but guess what, like any modern-day woman today that you see on social media and Instagram Bob had money and influence and she was interested in him only after with his many advances AFTER he got INTL fame. Remember the song says (I don’t want to wait in vain) he was advancing her for 3 whole years before she even payed him any mind. Then he got real famous so She fell in love with the money and all the things the money could do for her all the places she went, and the lifestyle and the Notoriety that the relationship afforded her. She was hanging around hoping and believing and waiting for Bob to divorce Rita to be with her which is why almost immediately and within months of him dying she was already wifed up with someone else ( A WHITE wealthy business man). Ah suh luv guh? Her behavior towards this whole thing make her no different from these nowadays young girls who flaunts taking someone else’s man or gold digging. Yes, I said what I said.
Queen Rita has all the side chicks triggered 😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾The Wife has the last word period.All the side chicks should just get together and make their own movie✌🏾😂
Rita accepted all of his children, and women, is that not enough? She had to share her husband with the world, let his memory be theirs and we all just appreciate the film without all the rigmarole. I understand all perspectives, but wasn't it known that this movie was being made? Cindy was a leaf in his life, but Rita was the root to the tree. God bless the family and all the children, we appreciate them for sharing his legacy with us. Let's move forward.
I disagree with you! I'm sorry as a Black woman who had a similar husband, side chick is a side chick and isn't deserving of any respect ONLY if the WIFE serves it out. Black women are the most DISRESPECTED female group, yet the strongest, on the planet! One word for Bob, I'll spell it, D-i-v-o-r-c-e! I left my cheating husband and father of my only 3 kids. Kudos to Rita for showing the immeasurable strength of Black women! P.S. have watched One Love abt 14 times already, but I ALWAYS search for real truth! Love Bob's music but will NEVER be ok with his behavior. Good day.
Sorry, but Cindy was a SIDE-CHICK. You forget that Bob has a LIVING WIFE that has to watch the movie???????? Cindy should not have been with a married man if she did not want to get hurt. You think Camilla should have sat next to Princess Diana?
Bob sang songs for many other women. Bob was a cheat plain. They were together for only 1 year. 1 year. Not even 2. Cindy has forced this narrative. She was one of many she loved him for his status he knew that
And the best of it is he was done with her after just one year of dating. Than he moved on to the next one. It was just the chase that had him hanging on. Now she is still playing on she was the loved one and every other gold digging person and side chick is giving her respect. I respect the ones with the decency to not flaunt their affair. And there were many
Rita wouldn’t have given Bob Marley a day of chance if he wasn’t famous .after he cheated so many times and had babies on her ! That’s not love ?that’s a struggle .Cindy owes her and the world nothing .but the person who made a vow did to his wife and,he never care .so why should Cindy care ? Both lost a man who never cared to be with them permanently.after getting back with Bob ,how long did Rita kept him for ?before the grim reapers snatch him.
She married him before the fame and y she stayed is up to her. She never made it seem otherwise. She believed in his message. And she knew his affairs helped fuel his music and that dshe stated herself
Hello everybody, CINDY was an ADULTRESS just like all the other women. That's what ADULTRESS gets. They get left out or left behind. Even after she found out about BOB'S WIFE, RITA, she continued in the relationship with Bob and used her uptown influence over him. SHE GOT EXACTLY WHAT ADULTRESS DESERVES. SHE FLAUNTED HER AFFAIR WITH BOB IN RITA'S FACE EVERY OPPORTUNITY SHE GOT, BUT BOB NEVER SEPARATED LEGALLY FROM HIS WIFE. CINDY WAS HOPING RITA WOULD BECOME FRUSTRATED AND LEAVE BOB BECAUSE OF HIS INFIDELITY WITH HER SO SHE COULD HAVE HIM UNTO HERSELF, BECAUSE SHE KNEW BOB WAS NOT GOING TO LEAVE RITA NO MATTER WHAT. BOB KNEW DEEP DOWN IN HIS HEART THAT DISPITE HIS WOMANIZING AND HIS INFIDELITY HE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN AS FAR IN HIS MUSICAL CARÈER AND LIFE THE WAY HE DID WITHOUT THE SUPPORT FROM RITA. NO MATTER HOW SPECIAL CINDY THOUGHT SHE WAS TO BOB, SHE WAS JUST A SIDE CHICK AND A SOCIETAL ANCHOR TO BOB THAT HELPED HIM PROPELLED HIS WAY THROUGH SOCIETY AT THE TIME. BOB IS GONE AND SHE'S STILL SEEKING THE LIMELIGHT AND LOOKING FOR RECOGNITION. #RITAMARLEYSTILL#1 AND ALWAYS WILL BE. SHE WAS THE SMARTER ONE. CINDY USED HER JEZEBEL SPIRIT ON BOB THINKING SHE COULD RIP BOB AWAY FROM RITA BUT WHAT SHE DIDN'T REALIZE WAS THAT RITA AND BOB'S MARRIAGE WAS DESIGNED BY GOD AND NO ONE COULD DESTROY THAT, NOT EVEN CINDY HERSELF. CINDY COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT HAVE STAYED WITH BOB IF THE SHOE WAS ON THE OTHER FOOT. RITA IS THE GREAT EXAMPLERY OF TRUE LOVE AND MARRIAGE "FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE." HOW MANY OF YOU SUPPORTING THE SLACKNESS FROM CINDY WOULD, IF YOU WERE MARRIED TO BOB, COULD HAVE TOLERATED HIS WOMANIZING AND INFIDELITY FROM CINDY AND THE OTHER WOMEN. SPEAK THE TRUTH! YET STILL YOU WANT TO SUPPORT AND DEFEND CINDY'S GOONERY. IN THE END, WHO'S ARMS DID BOB DIE IN, RITAS' NOT CINDY, ALTHOUGH SHE MADE HERSELF PRESENT DURING HIS LAST MOMENTS ON EARTH. THINK ABOUT THAT. HE NEVER ASKED FOR HER. RITA WAS SINGING TO HIM IN HIS LAST MOMENTS AND HE TOLD RITA NOT TO LEAVE HIM AND TO KEEP SINGING THE GOSPEL SONG SHE WAS SINGING TO HIM, "GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU." RITA KEPT SINGING UNTIL HE STOPPED BREATHING. CINDY NEED TO STEP ASIDE NOW. HER SEASON HAS PASSED AND SHE'S STILL TRYING TO REMAIN RELEVANT. CINDY MOVE ON, YOU WERE ONLY GOOD TO BOB FOR A SEASON BECAUSE YOUR WHITISH INFLUENCE BESIDE HIM MADE IT MORE ACCEPTABLE AND EAISER FOR HIM TO MOVE THROUGH THE WHITE INDUSTRY. BACK THEN, DURING THAT PERIOD IN BOB'S CAREER AND HISTORY, A WOMAN OF RITA'S CULTURAL BACKGROUND AND CALIBER WAS VERY RARELY ACCEPTED IN SOCIETY. AT THAT TIME IN HISTORY, WHILE BOB WAS TOURING, RITA BY HIS SIDE COULD MOST LIKELY, HAD BEEN MORE OR LESS OF AN HINDERANCE TO HIS MUSICAL CAREER. HER COLOR AND RACE WAS VERY RARELY ACCEPTED. SO BOB BASICALLY DID WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO TO HELP PROPEL HIS CAREER. LOOK AROUND, NONE OF HIS OTHER BABY MOTHERS, NOR RITA HAD THE FLAVOR. NEED I SAY MORE. PEOPLE WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE. BOB KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING, THAT'S WHY HE NEVER LEFT HIS ONE TRUE LOVE, "RITA." PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO LOOK BEYOND THE SURFACE. THAT'S WHY I SAID, CINDY'S SEASON IS OVER AND SHE NEEDS TO FIND A DIFFERENT TRAJECTORY IN LIFE AND LET RITA BE AT PEACE. RIGHT NOW CINDY IS IRRELEVANT AND SHE NEEDS TO STOP TRYING TO UPSTAGE RITA MARLEY. BOB HAD ONE WIFE ~ RITA MARLEY ~ NO MATTER WHERE HE WENT AND WHO HE WAS WITH, HE ALWAYS CAME BACK HOME TO RITA. HE BROUGHT ALL HIS OUTSIDE CHILDREN FOR HER TO RAISE AND EVEN ADOPTED HER PERSONAL CHILDREN BECAUSE HE KNEW DEEP DOWN IN HIS HEART THAT SHE WAS TRULY A GREAT WOMAN AND MOTHER. HE TRULY LOVED HER.
if bob marley was still alive today , Rita would have split up with him ,sorry to say this i think he would have still been having more children, with different women .
I think they would have grown old together. They were cut from the same cloth. Despite thier human flaws, I believe they both loved and understood each other.
Rita your sensational woman Thank you for keeping all of Bobs treasured memories and making it possible for the world to see I guess it was hard for you with Bob having relationships But I give you credit for staying married because if it wasn't for you Bob's name would be forgotten
Cindy was his sweetheart but Rita was his Queen. Rita was his rock who kept him grounded. Rita had to graciously be the mother to his children and sing in his band, while her husband had many mistresses. You gotta big up Rita for supporting him and for seeing him as the messenger for the world and not just her husband. She had to share him. I feel the movie was his kids from Rita’s way to honor their famous parents and they chose to highlight their love story. It’s a perspective of Rita and Bob. It was a sweet movie full of love for Bob. 🤙🏽 I’m team Bob! ❤️💛💚
@jimmyshaba9085. Rita had 1 during the marriage. Bob had 6/7 outside the marriage. Man to woman is so UNJUST. 1 to 6 and the one is a complaint. The Honorable. 👑QUEEN 💝 MRS Rita Marley OJ
Growing up in my island home (not JA), I was well aware of the musical legacy of Bob Marley and clearly remember at the age of 5yrs hearing of his death. So like many, I couldn't wait to see the movie after seeing all the publicity. As a mother and divorced woman, the movie and You Tube stories intrigued me to learn more about Rita and her story. I saw the movie Friday 16th and purchased her book the next evening. I just finished the book and I all I can say is WOW - the heart and love of a woman ❤! Rita Marley is a phenomenal woman - A true Queen! God Bless her and shield her from all evil and negativity! And as Bob would say “who Jah bless, no men curse”!
No shade to Cindy, but unfortunately being a side chick has no place, but on the side lines no matter your status. As far as the movie, character Rita did comment on the many women. She didn’t go in detail, so I don’t think they were trying to hide it. My prospective is they were focusing more on his music and what he was fighting for.
Cindy had such nerve he never left his wife. Yes, he love her however she could never replace his wife. It was said in his final hours she got bob asked her to leave the hospital room but he told his wife to stay. 😂
Bob allowed Cindy to disrespect Rita and that was a big disrespect, good Rita put up with a lot she didn’t hade to sing that song. She don’t need to be featured come on know your place a lot of things was not in the movie I agree with her not being added.
By the way there were other women after cindy. I think he ended things with her himself how she acting. U really put this woman on a pedestal. Sitting at the back is what side dishes get. 😊😊
Cindy is beautiful and is obvious why Bob liked her. He had numerous flings but I think he loved Cindy, not in depth like his wife Rita. But cindy inspired Bob to write some beautiful songs ❤
Indeed, it's been said over & over the Bob loved Cindy very much. Yet, at the height of their Romance, he didn't, and never at any other time, did he ever ask Rita for a divorce so that he could marry Cindy. After the heat wore off, they remained good friends and Bob went on to have more Romantic heights with different women and make more babies. A lot of musicians have a muse who move them to write great songs, but it doesn't always end up in a happy ever after. Rita & Bob's relationship was deep, spiritual and complex. Both Bob & Rita cheated on each other & had children outside the marriage. Yet, whatever DEEP Bond they shared never led to them wanting to divorce each other. On the contrary, Bob implicitly trusted Rita so much, so deeply, to even raise some of his children that he made with other women. Life is complex. It's not a simple Black & White. Whatever it is/was that they shared, had enough depth for them not to end up in the divorce courts.
I would never want to share a man or disrespect and hurt another women by taking their husband. I wouldnt give a stuff who they were. Morals and integrity are worth more than what ever she was after 😢
Yes, Cindy is beautiful but so is Rita Marley. Look at old photos of her ... black beauty don't get better than that and Bob Marley's mom said that Bob boated about Rita's beauty and how she walks.
Bob is a womaniser and a polygamist . After Cindy, he still got one last girl pregnant before he died . That Dude got his life figured out before he died. ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rita wife n has every right to whatever she chooses. Cindy is the outside woman. She didn't Respect Rita n Bob relationship. Why should Rita include her. Rita took a bullet for Bob! She earned that right.
Rita and Bob were Husband and wife, soul mates best friends, lovers, entertainers and Mother and Father. They shared a history together. Rite understood Bob like no other woman ever could. He depended on her. She was his first love. He had women and children when he was with Cindy just like he did with Rita. What women failed to understand like most women do when they get involved with a married man is the chances of him leaving his wife and children to be with her rarely ever happens. Rita and Bob had a bond that not even Miss World could break. She was a side chick just like all the rest. I have known women to give up their lives for a married man, have 2 or 3 children for him; women were very beautiful educated and everything; but they never left their wives and children When the wife died, they still did not marry the mistress. They remained single and continued to date several women. Rite is continues to carry on Bob's work with all his children that care to do so, .Rite was and is Bob's Queen and the Love of his life. She is the only one he loved enough to put a ring on it. She was his wife and loved all his children as if they were her own; just like Bob loved her children that were not his. He adopted them and loved them and took care of them just like he did his own.
Let me tell you Cindy was sprung😭 She was not special cause he was womanizer even after he met her. She is old and still not bright. Rita was not moving out her seat to these side pieces.
A number 1 Side-Chick is still a side-chick. Cindy being very public is what's causing the backlash. When Prince Charles had his Side-Chick (Camilla) who's now his wife, she knew to keep things underground and stay hidden, After Princess Di died he made her his wife. A Side-chick to a powerful man has to move in a different way or will forever be disrespected. The family has a legacy to protect. Being in the Wife's face giving interviews, demanding to be elevated to wife status although the wife quietly accepted your children thus giving them access to the family trust is not a good look. The reason why you and others are not getting it is because you've not been around very powerful men. If she cared about Bob's Legacy and not remaining famous, she would have moved differently.
1000% correct that’s what I’m saying. If she had played her position differently maybe Rita would have been replaced but Bobby’s no fool, he knows elevate that kind a side chick to wife status would be a problem for his life forever I mean look how she’s acting now? How many years has it been like 44-45?
Cindy was the most important part😂! She met him with money, not when he was struggling she would never even looked his way. And as for more kids 😂 they were adulterous for 6 yrs and only produced one. She is a side chick conversation is finished.
Cindy says why shouldnt she exalt that the famous Bob loved her. Well Bob became famous for singing Black people struggle inna Babylon. Something Cindy has no clue about. Plus her Ms. World world title is tainted by her betrayal to the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa at the time. Talk about ironies of history. God doesnt have a boring day. Does he?
I think rita was his first love and he never really let her go because of that. I don't think he could imagine his life without rita ...I think he was confuse between lust and love. But he never stop loving rita , rita was his rock. It is just a different kind of love and he wanted to have it all at once....
Cindy was with a whole other man and was pregnant with someone else’s child when Bob was on his death bed. I just think Cindy should have continued to keep her distance like she was doing prior to his fam. I think she was bigger than that. Women need to learn to resist just like men do.
Rita always s hhow respect for Cindy, but Cindy has no respect voor Rita. That is were the problems start and the mother of Bob correct her at the funeral and show her her right place.
Yes there was so many beautiful black woman but why did he choose you, because you allowed him to but he never married you Cindy come on. All women apart from Rita was only with Bob for a year or so but that don’t give you status to want to put your self on Rita’s status. Hanging out with Bob don’t make you special come on. No other girls friend is seeking attention it don’t matter how they met if it was just her and Rita then it might be different but he had many woman and 1 wife.
Bob Marley was a great musician. Not so great a husband or father. He showed little respect or regard for Rita while he was alive. He didnt live with Rita and spent very little time with her and their children. No diss to Rita but fact is most of his time was spent with Cindi and other women. Had he not died who knows what would have happened.
The movie did not go in depth into all Bob Marley’s life.. So leave all those extras out. If they mention Cindy they will have to open a can of worms. It people want to know more go and research his life.. People always want cofusion.
Bob loved every women he was involved with. How do i know? Because i believe a man can love and admire more than one women. Most men can but we surpress that because we are looked at as bad and a womanizer
😂 You are funny. You couldn't even tell me that you are married. Lol!!! If so, interesting. 🙏🏾 Prayers and blessings. 🎶 One Love!!!🎶 I can only guess you need more comments. 👍🏾
Social media comments recently on Instagram about Cindy are just horrible. What's done is done but the comments are disturbing. I truly loved the documentary movie from 2012 'Marley'. I remember the various interviews & Cindy's was just gut wrenching. I believe she truly, truly loved him & respected him.
@hoop5960 people shouldn't judge people. Bob wouldn't like this....play Bob Marley's song, "Judge Not"...listen to the words. And watch the documentary Marley from 2012.
I 1000% agree with you. For years everyone has known about Cindy and Bob’s relationship and that brought forth a child while married Rita. It obvious they knew of one another and it had to be respected. Cindy has said in interviews that both her and Rita helped care for Bob when the cancer fully took over. We all know he wrote “Turn your lights down low” for Cindy, She’s one of the mothers of his children. I feel she should still be respected. After watching the movie I learned Rita had an affair of her own !!! So everyone should stop attacking people. This is their personal business and however Bob chose to deal with it was his business to deal with. The situation is about 40 years old 🙄🙄. Also, if Ziggy and Cedella wanted to portray their parents love on screen, there’s nothing wrong with that either!!! They have every right to do so! End of story!
Cindy was a side chick. Had which more children. Cindy was engaged and got married a few months after Bob Marley died. I don't know what you are saying. How you know what Bob Marley's feelings was towards the other side chicks. Bob did not divorce his wife. You like Cindy because of your brainwashed view of beauty. Bob must have loved his wife. He never divorced her
Ziggy, Rita and Cedella were producers so I don't think they would focus on Cindy's relationship with Bob. Cindy was shown in the movie but ironically she had no speaking part
Actually let me fix my statement marriage does have a meaning if you marry and the man is a success. Marriage is about assets and generational wealth. So you eaither have the man who intentionally sets up a woman and their child/ren with a legacy or woman gambles and wins with a potential man but still if she doesnt get married thats not a testiment of not gaining exclusive love and commitment from a man.
Forgot to mention even on bobs death bed with Rita by his side he called Cindy in the room to see his son ( damion ) & Rita just sat and watched 🤦🏽♂️
Can you imagine if you was in the equivalent shoes to Rita as a husband? Most men would have the side man killed..
I don't think Cindy and Bob were together at the time of his death. He called to see his young child and you believe she's at the level of a Wife :). Actually, the woman who was the love of his life was the daughter of (at that time) Gabon's President. They met in the US (when she was studying) and they remained together until his death. His mother was also very close to her. I forgot her name as she give no interviews. Perhaps someone will mention it in the comments.
Pascaline Bongo from Gabon.........@@joyfra3549
Bob had several other concubines other than Cindy. If he was so in love with her he would have divorced Rita and made her the main, He would not have cheated with the multitude of other women that he did after knowing Cindy. Remember that their whirlwind romance only happened for about four years. 3 of those he spent tryingto get her attention and a chance (listen to I dont want to wait in vain) but of course because of the child they kept in touch and kept in connection yes he has something a little bit extra for that particular concubine over all the others but not enough to make her wife and replace Rita cause Rita is irreplaceable. Like I said before, all she has is a child and memories but Rita holds the legacy. Damien would have been famous without being a Marley because he’s really and actually talented. Maybe not on the level of success that he has now but I believe without being a Marley he would have still been in the business and doing his thing
Since Cindy love Bob so much why right after Bob died 3 months after she got married smh and the man she married divorce her caz Bob and the man knew that Cindy is nothing but a gold digger
I'm so happy that Cindy wasn't mentioned in the movie. She's just one of the thousands baby mamas of Bob.
Mama Rita is the unique Mrs.Marley. Period
If Bob was an ordinary Rasta man Cindy wouldn't spit on him.......Rita loved him when he was poor. Rita was emotionally abused. Cindy is revered because she fits the social expectation of beauty. A side chick who brings pain to another woman is selfish and self absorbed. I am sure she would NOT like it if anyone slept with her husband. It's cruel and narcissistic. Being beautiful does not excuse bad behavior.
Cindy was in the movie. When he went to London, there was a white woman in the background while he was on the phone with Rita. His children did not leave her out. They just did not make her place prominent in the movie. That was all she deserved. The movie was about his music and not his women. Who cares about her feelings. At the end of the day, she decided to have an affair with a married man. She deserves no recognition.
Rita sat there took the abuse and now she is worth 50million - I’ll sit back too
How did Cindy contribute to Bob’s Marley career growth during and after his death? The movie showed Bob’s musical evolution and Rita played a major role in that. Cindy is part of his personal life. If they had mentioned her, they would have to mention alllll the other children’s mothers as well. Let’s focus on the essence of the movie.
Absolutely correct 💯
The work is what is essential to the ppl and that's why Rita is highlighted. Rita was essential to his spiritual work .
She was left out because the movie wasn’t a biography movie. It was about how he tried to bring peace to the two political parties and to Jamaica.
The only comment that holds weight.
Exactly good point. I have always considered myself a Bob Marley fan but I became a bigger Bob Marley fan after this movie. I didn't know much about his life at all and even I understood while watching it that it was not a biopic film as a lot of people tried to make it seem. It was focusing on his time during those couple of years of the late 70's of trying to bring peace between the two political parties and Jamaica like you said. I think this movie is misunderstood by a lot of people. It wasn't the time or place to go all into his personal life and all that. For that, people need to go watch a documentary or help fund a series on his life. This movie wasn't gonna be it
Cindy was shown twice in the movie, when Bob was in the UK scenes, and when he was speaking to Rita at a telephone public booth scene, Cindy's character stood by waiting for him. Yesss she was portrayed in the movie.
1, rita was his wife, all his kids called her mama rita born from her or not. Only 1 of his kids called cindy mum.
2, she married 2 mins after him dead and was pregnant to him.
3, he had other baby mums he sang about.
4, she was only public for publicity purpose as she was only baby mum that was miss world.
5, rita helped build AND maintain his legacy before and after he was dead.
No one compares to our maroon queen rita.
Well said 👍
@@truebornafrican9213 💯 true
Cindy is a nice lady don't ble the women it was Bob who played the game
both did he did by doing what he did and she did by KNOWING he was married and continuing the relationship she is as much to blame! @@KanyeEast-sx1ii
@@KanyeEast-sx1iibut to be fair Cindy played the game with him. I'm sure she knows that Bob was married and didn't ever stop and say no we shouldn't do this, you're married just like Bob didn't either
Considering another baby was born after Bob’s death Cindy was a side chick just like the rest.
She was the prettiest to you. Doesn’t mean she was. Beauty has different faces.
Cindy need to be quiet now man let Rita receive her flowers for all she endured.
😂Cindy you were a side chick not his girlfriend 😂
Cindy was dating a guy who was part of the Little Anthony and the Imperials group but when she found out that he was only an employee and not a member of the group itself she just dropped him.
Yes, Bob had bought the house on Old Hope Road where she rented a small apartment from Chris Blackwell. Some people say she was dating Blackwell but I don't know if it's true. And Bob starting to pursue her but she was not interested in him until she found out that he was famous. But Bob was also dating her friends while he was seeing her, even 2 of them who were sisters.
Bob became popular worldwide after Eric Clapton cover his song I shot the Sherif and took it to No. 1 on the US top 100 in 1974. Clapton who was very popular at the time, also gave Bob a lot of props in the media helping him to gain popularity.
When Bob met Cindy it's not like she was rich or anything like that ... she was working at a night club and Bob financed her trip to the Miss World pageant, put money into her Craft Company and bought her a house. She on the other hand gave him a place in higher society and lots of publicity in the international news after she won Miss World. It seems as if he had a special love for her. All the ray ray about her relationship with Marley yet 4 months after he passed she got married to Senator Tom Tavares Finson. Where was the morning there?
If you want to know more there are 2 books written one by Rita Marley herself and the other by Bob's Manager, Don Taylor called Marley and Me.
Bob Marley also had his eye on another beauty queen Sandra Kong but Sandra didn't bring it to Jamaica like Cindy. Sandra was the favorite to win Miss World the year before Cindy but the Jamaican government didn't want her to participate because of Apartheid so she didn't. Cindy was not the first Jamaica to win Miss World. Before her we had a girl from Kingston, Carole Joan Crawford who won in 1962 and shocked the world..
CINDY IS STILL LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD. SHE'S STILL LIVING IN DENIAL ABOUT WHO THE REAL DEAL WAS AND STILL IS. #RITAMARLEY#1
why the hostility? Bob ran down Cindy. She was Miss World! The prettiest girl in the world.
@@BO_Riddlewhy is the truth hostile? She was a side chick. Period.
@@BO_Riddle Cindy was beautiful and Bob very attractive so they came together. Bob needed to respect that he was married, it must have been very painful for Miss World even when she speaks about her son to me she speaks as an hurt woman who really loved and wanted to be Bobs wife.
I think she has two other children not sure who she married but her heart seems to belong to Bob. Cindy isn't going to say maybe because she has her other children.
@@rosa9251A side chick that he loved
Cindy was not a part of Bob's musical journey. She was an adulterer and need to continue taking the back seat.
Bob was also an adulterer. If a man can have many woman then a woman should be able to as well. What I said is bs bcs it’s quite nasty to run around. I just think that it’s wrong to be married and run around with other ppl. Bob shouldn’t have got married.
Shes a nice lady you don't know her it was be Bob who was the one playing games
@@enthralling8673 I agree Bob should have never married. Tragic
Rita stood by him in the hardship and the other women benefited. Especially the miss world one.😮
The part about the funeral is ridiculous. I don't care if Bob loved Cindy. There was no need for her to sit in the front with his wife. I realize more and more in this world, everything goes.
If Cindy was allowed to sit next to Rita then all the other women he had children with should have sit up front to. Regardless of who she was she had no rights. A mistress is not a wife. She was not a Marley. Bob could have changed that at any time but; he didn't. Rita was Bob's Queen. Cindy was one of Bob's children's Mother. Cindy should Enjoy the time she shared with Bob; don't spoil the beautiful memories by attacking his wife. Don" ruin the relationship the children share with one another. it's not worth it because Bob is no longer with us.
Exactly she wouldn’t be allowed in the church
How come Bob love this woman so bad and still get so many other girls pregnant after her ,?i thought she was his world ,Bob was a womaniser and had A LOT SWEEET TALK😂😂😂😂😂,RITA BIG UP YOURSELF AND GIVE NUFF THANKS TO THE FATHER,YOUR CHILDREN ARE GROWN AND NOW THEY CAN STAND UP FOR YOU.
He slept with her sister and best friend too 😂
@@amyalexisawbut Rita think she special nah it's not Cindy fault either Bob was a player
Rita was doing the same thing. And she got pregnant by other man. The type of guy that Bob was he gave him their name and told the world it was his child and now it comes back to bite him.
She’s just a side chick with a platform. He wrote songs about lots of women - LOTS. Rita owns them all. He left her all the money
He sure did!!!
girlfriend titles hold no weight to a wife. ever. no matter how you flip it😂
Bottom line Rita was his wife no matter what he didn't divorce. Cindy knew what it was no matter how Bob loved her.
Bob is not an icon to me. At all.
Rita was Bob's maid.
@@maureengolding2980 ? Bob changed the reggae music to human awareness you must be a country music fan that believe country music was started by artist we see today. No they learned it from slaves playing the banjo telling their stories. The Devil cannot create only mock!
@@maureengolding2980 Sad you don't no nothing and proud to be ignorant! Cindy was the mistress and the maid who cleaned up after Rita leftovers and was happy to be that!
@@maureengolding2980Well thankfully your opinion about Bob not being an icon doesn't matter because he was, is and will always be a beloved GLOBAL icon all over the world. No one else like Bob Marley. Clearly, you have poor taste in music and sad you can't acknowledge what a revolutionary and influential icon he is. You're definitely in the minority with this one.
I think that Cindy's treatment up until even Bob's funeral PROVES that, "girlfriend and boyfriend" mean nothing. As important as Cindy was to Bob, where did she end up sitting at in the funeral? IN THE BACK LOL! While Rita sat up front. Until you're married(this goes for both men and women, but especially for women), you're "commitment" means nothing.
She wouldn’t be there if I had some to do with it.his family would’ve brought the boy not her y’all
She was a side chick trick
Cindy and Bob loved each other.
I think if Bob was still alive Maybe he would have find a way to marry Cindy as well.
It is quite obvious that Bob believes in polygamous relationships, but because he was living in the Western world that doesn't allow it.
Cindy could have gotten any man that she wanted, but love is something that can't be bought or sold.
Bob had many sidechicks cindy wasnt special, he breed up another woman after her and she marry just after him dead @jackiemrowell4667
@@jackiemrowell4667 her love fake for Bob like her fake crown pon her head only person that Caucasian Care about is herself.
Yes she was a side peice and known fact but every interview she makes she is shading Rita by taunting her with the relationship she had with her husband. She was a part of Rita's pain and she wasnt humble with the place she had in his life in light of the fact that her very existence was the cause of that pain. At the end of the day, all she has is MEMORIES but Rita holds the LEGACY. I'll take the legacy thank you. Rita's kids told this story and thier position is, that a source of thier moms pain and sadness should not be included, and thats thier right. I cant imagine what it is for a child to see your mom crying, see your mom sad and knowing the reason. A side peice who just would not shut up about her wonderful romance and baby WITH YOUR HUSBAND, with your FATHER??!! . Rita is a HERO to put up with some things that most women wouldnt be able to do (including me). Seeing all these women (not just Cindy) disrespect her to her face, Her husband disrespecting her to her face. Her kids know it see it, can't do a thing about it. writing and singing love songs to a woman that she now has to perform them same songs on stage? Who taking that kind of disrespect in 24? That pretty smooth white hair would be looking like steel wool when I was done with her,. Rita is a far better woman than I could ever be. Kudos to her for keeping her eye on the goal and not on the sidey
😂 Bob loves Cindy more than Rita regardless of what y'all think
Bob made Rita sing back up to song he wrote about Cindy

Cindy was a side piece. He was married to Rita, any other woman would be a side piece. The Bob Marley movie was very good. The most important part of his life was his music. Bringing peace!!🇯🇲🇯🇲
People love mess! The movie was NOT about "the mess". It was about "the moment". Everybody already knows "the mess". People disgust me with this! Rita and Cindy get along inspite what she did with HER husband. She did NOT deserve a front seat at his funeral..how disrespectful for anyone to think otherwise. Rita took enough disrespect with so much grace. She owed Cindy NOT ONE DAMN THING!
They wanted Bob to have that narrative that he loved his white woman . So it can go against everything he was singing about ! And for black woman to feel devalued.
Wanted a narrative? He willingly chose to sleep with white women. There was nothing made up about that.
I #Totally!!! disagree with this podcaster & his remarks.
❗No Respect for infidelity‼️
•4Real, that's disrespectful.
Ppl put Bob Marley on such a high pedestal, regardless of the fact that he was a very famous musician & money-making "brand" as he's described in the industry.
✴️Its 2bad tht some married ppl & so-called "side chicks" can't respect themselves enuff to honestly also respect the sanctity of marriage.
#TooMuch INFIDELITYdeh'Bout!!!
Yup
He's half white lol
She doesn t look white at all, she looks mixed just like Bob himself
At the end of the day, Cindy was side chick… She has to respect Rita and play her position. If the shoe was on the other foot she would want the side chick to play her position.
Cindy was a side piece. She may have been the main one but she was still a side chick. Rita was the Queen in Bob's life.
Some women accept this type of behavior this is why it still goes on so much. Ladies love your self enough to move on. He was a womanizer it was all wrong and disrespectful to his wife and the woman that knew he was married are just as wrong as him and will receive the same karma and hurt they put the wife through.
I don’t care two straws about tricks that mess with other women’s legal husbands. I believe the family puts up with her foolishness because they love Damian. He was in loving pictures with the other women but they not trying to claim a wife’s status. Rita is Queen even if he did have feelings for any of the sides. She was part of his struggles and had staying power. Like Ziggy said “ride or die wife”
I believe that Cindy was a fantasy that came through this beauty queen living beside his studio and any man would try to go after that married or not. She wasn’t from a culture or a society that would’ve liked and accepted a man like Bob but guess what, like any modern-day woman today that you see on social media and Instagram Bob had money and influence and she was interested in him only after with his many advances AFTER he got INTL fame. Remember the song says (I don’t want to wait in vain) he was advancing her for 3 whole years before she even payed him any mind. Then he got real famous so She fell in love with the money and all the things the money could do for her all the places she went, and the lifestyle and the Notoriety that the relationship afforded her. She was hanging around hoping and believing and waiting for Bob to divorce Rita to be with her which is why almost immediately and within months of him dying she was already wifed up with someone else ( A WHITE wealthy business man). Ah suh luv guh? Her behavior towards this whole thing make her no different from these nowadays young girls who flaunts taking someone else’s man or gold digging. Yes, I said what I said.

Rita accepted all of his children, and women, is that not enough? She had to share her husband with the world, let his memory be theirs and we all just appreciate the film without all the rigmarole. I understand all perspectives, but wasn't it known that this movie was being made? Cindy was a leaf in his life, but Rita was the root to the tree. God bless the family and all the children, we appreciate them for sharing his legacy with us. Let's move forward.
And he had another baby mama/ girlfriend after Cindy lol
If someone cheats with you they will cheat on you
I disagree with you! I'm sorry as a Black woman who had a similar husband, side chick is a side chick and isn't deserving of any respect ONLY if the WIFE serves it out. Black women are the most DISRESPECTED female group, yet the strongest, on the planet! One word for Bob, I'll spell it, D-i-v-o-r-c-e! I left my cheating husband and father of my only 3 kids. Kudos to Rita for showing the immeasurable strength of Black women! P.S. have watched One Love abt 14 times already, but I ALWAYS search for real truth! Love Bob's music but will NEVER be ok with his behavior. Good day.
Sorry, but Cindy was a SIDE-CHICK. You forget that Bob has a LIVING WIFE that has to watch the movie???????? Cindy should not have been with a married man if she did not want to get hurt. You think Camilla should have sat next to Princess Diana?
the movie even left out Peter Tosh scenes as if he was never a part of Bob Marley's musical journey.
The movie left out a lot of everything.
No it had a scene
The focus wasn’t his whole musical journey but the period of that peace concert and making exodus
You are in awe of this woman and you are biased.
Bob sang songs for many other women. Bob was a cheat plain. They were together for only 1 year. 1 year. Not even 2. Cindy has forced this narrative. She was one of many she loved him for his status he knew that
1000% agree.
Thank you I told Bob was smart he knew Cindy was selfish that's why he left Rita to control everything
And the best of it is he was done with her after just one year of dating. Than he moved on to the next one. It was just the chase that had him hanging on. Now she is still playing on she was the loved one and every other gold digging person and side chick is giving her respect. I respect the ones with the decency to not flaunt their affair. And there were many
Rita wouldn’t have given Bob Marley a day of chance if he wasn’t famous .after he cheated so many times and had babies on her ! That’s not love ?that’s a struggle .Cindy owes her and the world nothing .but the person who made a vow did to his wife and,he never care .so why should Cindy care ? Both lost a man who never cared to be with them permanently.after getting back with Bob ,how long did Rita kept him for ?before the grim reapers snatch him.
She married him before the fame and y she stayed is up to her. She never made it seem otherwise. She believed in his message. And she knew his affairs helped fuel his music and that dshe stated herself
Hello everybody, CINDY was an ADULTRESS just like all the other women. That's what ADULTRESS gets. They get left out or left behind. Even after she found out about BOB'S WIFE, RITA, she continued in the relationship with Bob and used her uptown influence over him. SHE GOT EXACTLY WHAT ADULTRESS DESERVES. SHE FLAUNTED HER AFFAIR WITH BOB IN RITA'S FACE EVERY OPPORTUNITY SHE GOT, BUT BOB NEVER SEPARATED LEGALLY FROM HIS WIFE. CINDY WAS HOPING RITA WOULD BECOME FRUSTRATED AND LEAVE BOB BECAUSE OF HIS INFIDELITY WITH HER SO SHE COULD HAVE HIM UNTO HERSELF, BECAUSE SHE KNEW BOB WAS NOT GOING TO LEAVE RITA NO MATTER WHAT. BOB KNEW DEEP DOWN IN HIS HEART THAT DISPITE HIS WOMANIZING AND HIS INFIDELITY HE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN AS FAR IN HIS MUSICAL CARÈER AND LIFE THE WAY HE DID WITHOUT THE SUPPORT FROM RITA. NO MATTER HOW SPECIAL CINDY THOUGHT SHE WAS TO BOB, SHE WAS JUST A SIDE CHICK AND A SOCIETAL ANCHOR TO BOB THAT HELPED HIM PROPELLED HIS WAY THROUGH SOCIETY AT THE TIME. BOB IS GONE AND SHE'S STILL SEEKING THE LIMELIGHT AND LOOKING FOR RECOGNITION. #RITAMARLEYSTILL#1 AND ALWAYS WILL BE. SHE WAS THE SMARTER ONE. CINDY USED HER JEZEBEL SPIRIT ON BOB THINKING SHE COULD RIP BOB AWAY FROM RITA BUT WHAT SHE DIDN'T REALIZE WAS THAT RITA AND BOB'S MARRIAGE WAS DESIGNED BY GOD AND NO ONE COULD DESTROY THAT, NOT EVEN CINDY HERSELF. CINDY COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT HAVE STAYED WITH BOB IF THE SHOE WAS ON THE OTHER FOOT. RITA IS THE GREAT EXAMPLERY OF TRUE LOVE AND MARRIAGE "FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE." HOW MANY OF YOU SUPPORTING THE SLACKNESS FROM CINDY WOULD, IF YOU WERE MARRIED TO BOB, COULD HAVE TOLERATED HIS WOMANIZING AND INFIDELITY FROM CINDY AND THE OTHER WOMEN. SPEAK THE TRUTH! YET STILL YOU WANT TO SUPPORT AND DEFEND CINDY'S GOONERY. IN THE END, WHO'S ARMS DID BOB DIE IN, RITAS' NOT CINDY, ALTHOUGH SHE MADE HERSELF PRESENT DURING HIS LAST MOMENTS ON EARTH. THINK ABOUT THAT. HE NEVER ASKED FOR HER. RITA WAS SINGING TO HIM IN HIS LAST MOMENTS AND HE TOLD RITA NOT TO LEAVE HIM AND TO KEEP SINGING THE GOSPEL SONG SHE WAS SINGING TO HIM, "GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU." RITA KEPT SINGING UNTIL HE STOPPED BREATHING. CINDY NEED TO STEP ASIDE NOW. HER SEASON HAS PASSED AND SHE'S STILL TRYING TO REMAIN RELEVANT. CINDY MOVE ON, YOU WERE ONLY GOOD TO BOB FOR A SEASON BECAUSE YOUR WHITISH INFLUENCE BESIDE HIM MADE IT MORE ACCEPTABLE AND EAISER FOR HIM TO MOVE THROUGH THE WHITE INDUSTRY. BACK THEN, DURING THAT PERIOD IN BOB'S CAREER AND HISTORY, A WOMAN OF RITA'S CULTURAL BACKGROUND AND CALIBER WAS VERY RARELY ACCEPTED IN SOCIETY. AT THAT TIME IN HISTORY, WHILE BOB WAS TOURING, RITA BY HIS SIDE COULD MOST LIKELY, HAD BEEN MORE OR LESS OF AN HINDERANCE TO HIS MUSICAL CAREER. HER COLOR AND RACE WAS VERY RARELY ACCEPTED. SO BOB BASICALLY DID WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO TO HELP PROPEL HIS CAREER. LOOK AROUND, NONE OF HIS OTHER BABY MOTHERS, NOR RITA HAD THE FLAVOR. NEED I SAY MORE. PEOPLE WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE. BOB KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING, THAT'S WHY HE NEVER LEFT HIS ONE TRUE LOVE, "RITA." PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO LOOK BEYOND THE SURFACE. THAT'S WHY I SAID, CINDY'S SEASON IS OVER AND SHE NEEDS TO FIND A DIFFERENT TRAJECTORY IN LIFE AND LET RITA BE AT PEACE. RIGHT NOW CINDY IS IRRELEVANT AND SHE NEEDS TO STOP TRYING TO UPSTAGE RITA MARLEY. BOB HAD ONE WIFE ~ RITA MARLEY ~ NO MATTER WHERE HE WENT AND WHO HE WAS WITH, HE ALWAYS CAME BACK HOME TO RITA. HE BROUGHT ALL HIS OUTSIDE CHILDREN FOR HER TO RAISE AND EVEN ADOPTED HER PERSONAL CHILDREN BECAUSE HE KNEW DEEP DOWN IN HIS HEART THAT SHE WAS TRULY A GREAT WOMAN AND MOTHER. HE TRULY LOVED HER.
I love this
if bob marley was still alive today , Rita would have split up with him ,sorry to say this i think he would have still been having more children, with different women .
I think they would have grown old together. They were cut from the same cloth. Despite thier human flaws, I believe they both loved and understood each other.
She always pushing herself out for recognition
Rita your sensational woman
Thank you for keeping all of Bobs treasured memories and making it possible for the world to see I guess it was hard for you with Bob having relationships
But I give you credit for staying married because if it wasn't for you Bob's name would be forgotten
Cindy was his sweetheart but Rita was his Queen. Rita was his rock who kept him grounded. Rita had to graciously be the mother to his children and sing in his band, while her husband had many mistresses. You gotta big up Rita for supporting him and for seeing him as the messenger for the world and not just her husband. She had to share him. I feel the movie was his kids from Rita’s way to honor their famous parents and they chose to highlight their love story. It’s a perspective of Rita and Bob. It was a sweet movie full of love for Bob. 🤙🏽
I’m team Bob! ❤️💛💚
@jimmyshaba9085.
Rita had 1 during the marriage.
Bob had 6/7 outside the marriage.

The Honorable.
👑QUEEN 💝 MRS Rita Marley OJ
Growing up in my island home (not JA), I was well aware of the musical legacy of Bob Marley and clearly remember at the age of 5yrs hearing of his death. So like many, I couldn't wait to see the movie after seeing all the publicity. As a mother and divorced woman, the movie and You Tube stories intrigued me to learn more about Rita and her story. I saw the movie Friday 16th and purchased her book the next evening. I just finished the book and I all I can say is WOW - the heart and love of a woman ❤! Rita Marley is a phenomenal woman - A true Queen! God Bless her and shield her from all evil and negativity! And as Bob would say “who Jah bless, no men curse”!
No shade to Cindy, but unfortunately being a side chick has no place, but on the side lines no matter your status. As far as the movie, character Rita did comment on the many women. She didn’t go in detail, so I don’t think they were trying to hide it. My prospective is they were focusing more on his music and what he was fighting for.
Cindy had such nerve he never left his wife. Yes, he love her however she could never replace his wife. It was said in his final hours she got bob asked her to leave the hospital room but he told his wife to stay. 😂
Cindy was a mistress his wife came first , he certainly had a lot of feelings for Cindy but again his wife came first .
Bob allowed Cindy to disrespect Rita and that was a big disrespect, good Rita put up with a lot she didn’t hade to sing that song. She don’t need to be featured come on know your place a lot of things was not in the movie I agree with her not being added.
Why are ppl romanticising Cindy they was together for 2 years! He was with someone else after her 😂😂😂 do your research
By the way there were other women after cindy. I think he ended things with her himself how she acting. U really put this woman on a pedestal. Sitting at the back is what side dishes get. 😊😊
Cindy is beautiful and is obvious why Bob liked her. He had numerous flings but I think he loved Cindy, not in depth like his wife Rita. But cindy inspired Bob to write some beautiful songs ❤
There is no Bob without Rita the Queen ❤
Period! She held down a lot for his assss.
Cindy wasn’t the prettiest. She is pretty but so were a lot of others. Lol.
Indeed, it's been said over & over the Bob loved Cindy very much. Yet, at the height of their Romance, he didn't, and never at any other time, did he ever ask Rita for a divorce so that he could marry Cindy. After the heat wore off, they remained good friends and Bob went on to have more Romantic heights with different women and make more babies. A lot of musicians have a muse who move them to write great songs, but it doesn't always end up in a happy ever after. Rita & Bob's relationship was deep, spiritual and complex. Both Bob & Rita cheated on each other & had children outside the marriage. Yet, whatever DEEP Bond they shared never led to them wanting to divorce each other. On the contrary, Bob implicitly trusted Rita so much, so deeply, to even raise some of his children that he made with other women. Life is complex. It's not a simple Black & White. Whatever it is/was that they shared, had enough depth for them not to end up in the divorce courts.
He took pictures and wrote songs about many women.
Anything out of marriage is side maam
I would never want to share a man or disrespect and hurt another women by taking their husband. I wouldnt give a stuff who they were.
Morals and integrity are worth more than what ever she was after 😢
Yes, Cindy is beautiful but so is Rita Marley. Look at old photos of her ... black beauty don't get better than that and Bob Marley's mom said that Bob boated about Rita's beauty and how she walks.
Bob is a womaniser and a polygamist . After Cindy, he still got one last girl pregnant before he died . That Dude got his life figured out before he died. ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
We dont need to compare no one can take away Queen Rita crown but you cant close your eyes and say Cindy was not there in the History😮
Image saying every man want a beautiful woman . So Rita wasn’t beautiful?
Rita wife n has every right to whatever she chooses. Cindy is the outside woman. She didn't Respect Rita n Bob relationship. Why should Rita include her. Rita took a bullet for Bob! She earned that right.
If Marcia Griffiths or Judith Mowat should-write a book or a show it would blow everyone’s mind! They know where all the “bones are buried “😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Seems Cindy stayed piss being the side chick....😅
Rita and Bob were Husband and wife, soul mates best friends, lovers, entertainers and Mother and Father. They shared a history together. Rite understood Bob like no other woman ever could. He depended on her. She was his first love. He had women and children when he was with Cindy just like he did with Rita. What women failed to understand like most women do when they get involved with a married man is the chances of him leaving his wife and children to be with her rarely ever happens. Rita and Bob had a bond that not even Miss World could break. She was a side chick just like all the rest. I have known women to give up their lives for a married man, have 2 or 3 children for him; women were very beautiful educated and everything; but they never left their wives and children When the wife died, they still did not marry the mistress. They remained single and continued to date several women. Rite is continues to carry on Bob's work with all his children that care to do so, .Rite was and is Bob's Queen and the Love of his life. She is the only one he loved enough to put a ring on it. She was his wife and loved all his children as if they were her own; just like Bob loved her children that were not his. He adopted them and loved them and took care of them just like he did his own.
Cindy needs to give up by now
Give up what? It’s the media dragging her down and making her relevant. She isn’t the one begging for attention
Let me tell you Cindy was sprung😭 She was not special cause he was womanizer even after he met her. She is old and still not bright. Rita was not moving out her seat to these side pieces.
A number 1 Side-Chick is still a side-chick. Cindy being very public is what's causing the backlash. When Prince Charles had his Side-Chick (Camilla) who's now his wife, she knew to keep things underground and stay hidden, After Princess Di died he made her his wife. A Side-chick to a powerful man has to move in a different way or will forever be disrespected. The family has a legacy to protect. Being in the Wife's face giving interviews, demanding to be elevated to wife status although the wife quietly accepted your children thus giving them access to the family trust is not a good look. The reason why you and others are not getting it is because you've not been around very powerful men. If she cared about Bob's Legacy and not remaining famous, she would have moved differently.
So true
Facts!!!!!
1000% correct that’s what I’m saying. If she had played her position differently maybe Rita would have been replaced but Bobby’s no fool, he knows elevate that kind a side chick to wife status would be a problem for his life forever I mean look how she’s acting now? How many years has it been like 44-45?
@@TheGloriousLifeMinistries yea about 43 now I believe
@@TheGloriousLifeMinistries only position she played for Bob was on her back and knees
Cindy was the most important part😂! She met him with money, not when he was struggling she would never even looked his way. And as for more kids 😂 they were adulterous for 6 yrs and only produced one. She is a side chick conversation is finished.
Cindy says why shouldnt she exalt that the famous Bob loved her.
Well Bob became famous for singing Black people struggle inna Babylon.
Something Cindy has no clue about.
Plus her Ms. World world title is tainted by her betrayal to the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa at the time.
Talk about ironies of history.
God doesnt have a boring day.
Does he?
I agree that she went against the anti apartheid movement in South Africa at that time. I remember that vividly. Did Bob know about the movement?
😊
She seems like a bitter colonizer
I think rita was his first love and he never really let her go because of that. I don't think he could imagine his life without rita ...I think he was confuse between lust and love. But he never stop loving rita , rita was his rock. It is just a different kind of love and he wanted to have it all at once....
Cindy was with a whole other man and was pregnant with someone else’s child when Bob was on his death bed. I just think Cindy should have continued to keep her distance like she was doing prior to his fam. I think she was bigger than that. Women need to learn to resist just like men do.
I would be embarrassed to put myself out there like that
Wife is wife and life anything come after wife is a side piece
That was his wife and the wife comes first. When he died the wife got everything and that's the way it is.
Rita always s hhow respect for Cindy, but Cindy has no respect voor Rita. That is were the problems start and the mother of Bob correct her at the funeral and show her her right place.
Agreed
Yes there was so many beautiful black woman but why did he choose you, because you allowed him to but he never married you Cindy come on. All women apart from Rita was only with Bob for a year or so but that don’t give you status to want to put your self on Rita’s status. Hanging out with Bob don’t make you special come on. No other girls friend is seeking attention it don’t matter how they met if it was just her and Rita then it might be different but he had many woman and 1 wife.
Tark de Tark 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
How you expect his wife and family to feel about this controversial situation
Well, he most certainly won't go around philandering anymore!!!
It takes 2 or more for sure
Bob Marley was a great musician. Not so great a husband or father. He showed little respect or regard for Rita while he was alive. He didnt live with Rita and spent very little time with her and their children. No diss to Rita but fact is most of his time was spent with Cindi and other women. Had he not died who knows what would have happened.
She wasn't the only side peace so what kmt
You see this is why he should not be a national hero. Bob's behaviour is non exemplary
The movie did not go in depth into all Bob Marley’s life.. So leave all those extras out. If they mention Cindy they will have to open a can of worms.
It people want to know more go and research his life.. People always want cofusion.
Cindy was a coleslaw side chick. Bob was frightened for her light skin and looks
Coleslaw 😂😂😂😂😂
Bob loved every women he was involved with. How do i know? Because i believe a man can love and admire more than one women. Most men can but we surpress that because we are looked at as bad and a womanizer
She IS portrayed in the film. She has no lines, but she is often seen in the background, at the studio especially in London.
I’m pretty sure she speaks while smoking a spliff while sitting in a chair. When they were at the Rastafarians house.
😂 You are funny. You couldn't even tell me that you are married. Lol!!! If so, interesting. 🙏🏾 Prayers and blessings. 🎶 One Love!!!🎶 I can only guess you need more comments. 👍🏾
Let me draw back my subscribe because no Rita disrespect will be tolerated. PERIOD!
Thank you if u don’t like my opinion Take it back I’m not begging for it
Bob was married to Rita he chose to sleep around and be unfaithful to his wife so Bob disrespected his marriage
Talk the things you sound like you a tek side through cindy follow you smh
No not true family I just like her
A side chick is a side chick 🐔 .
Social media comments recently on Instagram about Cindy are just horrible. What's done is done but the comments are disturbing. I truly loved the documentary movie from 2012 'Marley'. I remember the various interviews & Cindy's was just gut wrenching. I believe she truly, truly loved him & respected him.
Your imagination is hilarious, @mktny6028😅!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Amazing Bless up I am also watching from west Africa the 🇬🇲 Gambia city Banjul I am Ibrahima Jaiteh 🇬🇲
@hoop5960 people shouldn't judge people. Bob wouldn't like this....play Bob Marley's song, "Judge Not"...listen to the words. And watch the documentary Marley from 2012.
I 1000% agree with you. For years everyone has known about Cindy and Bob’s relationship and that brought forth a child while married Rita. It obvious they knew of one another and it had to be respected. Cindy has said in interviews that both her and Rita helped care for Bob when the cancer fully took over. We all know he wrote “Turn your lights down low” for Cindy, She’s one of the mothers of his children. I feel she should still be respected. After watching the movie I learned Rita had an affair of her own !!! So everyone should stop attacking people. This is their personal business and however Bob chose to deal with it was his business to deal with. The situation is about 40 years old 🙄🙄. Also, if Ziggy and Cedella wanted to portray their parents love on screen, there’s nothing wrong with that either!!! They have every right to do so! End of story!
How? She married 3 months after he died!
Cindy was a side chick. Had which more children. Cindy was engaged and got married a few months after Bob Marley died. I don't know what you are saying. How you know what Bob Marley's feelings was towards the other side chicks. Bob did not divorce his wife. You like Cindy because of your brainwashed view of beauty. Bob must have loved his wife. He never divorced her
everybody has something to say , because they werent there ... ... "Dont spit facing up "😂
Ziggy, Rita and Cedella were producers so I don't think they would focus on Cindy's relationship with Bob. Cindy was shown in the movie but ironically she had no speaking part
Actually let me fix my statement marriage does have a meaning if you marry and the man is a success. Marriage is about assets and generational wealth. So you eaither have the man who intentionally sets up a woman and their child/ren with a legacy or woman gambles and wins with a potential man but still if she doesnt get married thats not a testiment of not gaining exclusive love and commitment from a man.
