Quindon Claims Chris Stokes Made Him Kiss Marques Houston

So more allegations arise. According to MediaTakeOut Vibe Magazine is going to release an article. For backstory look at my previous blogs where I posted video of Raz B and Ricky Romance alleging molestation, as well as the entire group claiming manager Chris Stokes controlled, and manipulated them. Although Raz B made a public apology it clearly looked forced... Ricky Romance's follow up radio interview was fugazi... Omarion has been dropped from his label...

June 13, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com just got its hands on a SHOCKING article published in this month's issue of Vibe magazine. In it, the magazine takes an in depth look at the life of Chris Stokes - including the allegations of abuse levied last year by former B2K member Raz B and his brother Ricky Romance.

There are many interesting things in the article - including their description of how Chris Stokes would completely control B2K's lives (including not allowing them to have girlfriends) and how they suspect that Raz B and Ricky Romance were paid off to retract their statements.

But MediaTakeOut.com found the most shocking part of the article to be the interview with Chris Stokes' former artist Quindon Carter (best known for his remake of Prince's When Doves Cry). Here are some excerpts:

Tarver's first meeting of Chris Stokes:

When Chris Stokes met Quindon Tarver, Stokes asked him to belt something out on the spot. He was impressed by the boy's silky, anointed voice. "He told my mom he wanted to fly us to L.A.," Tarver says. But there was another thing Stokes needed to mention. "I'm getting ready to go to court on a molestation charge," Tarver says Stokes told him and his mother, "but it's not true and I'm going to win it."


Here's Tarver on getting signed:

"It happened like overnight," Tarver recalls with awe in his voice. Stokes promised him he'd win a Grammy, but says Tarver, "everything just started going downhill after my first album."

Looking back, he says he was "manipulated," "cheated," and "sabotaged" by Stokes. But according to Tarver, the damage to his career was just the beginning. "I have had some things that haunted me for quite some time," he says, his voice in a whisper. "He is a very dirty, rotten guy."


And Tarver goes into detail:

"For a certain amount of years, I was molested. I wouldn't say exactly by Chris, but he would organize it." Tarver stops speaking. It sounds like he's hyperventilating. "He'd organize activities to be done as he sat and watched ... Watching or coaching, if you will.

He would make another member of [Immature] like come and do things ... Oh my God. Four years. It was rough."

Tarver says Stokes made him take showers with the other boys. He says Stokes would ask him, "Who do you think of at night when you masturbate?" He says Stokes made him and Marques Houston kiss each other. "[I can take] a lie detector test, anything," he says. "This is just a little bit of the things I went through."
