Save Aretha, Save the Animals

Posted by Bossip Staff

Now this is some new ish:

“Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin could save her house, if she promises to never wear fur again. The singer reportedly now owes a total of $19,192 in back taxes…But now PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have offered to help her out. The animal rights group has written a letter to Franklin offering to pay her $19,000 tax bill if she promises to never wear fur again.”

Smart move. PETA knows it would take a whole gaggle of critters to cover Aretha’s wide load. Aretha should take the deal. She’ll save her house, and several thousand lil’ creatures (and that’s just for one of her custom made coats).

  5. dayg715

    now that’s just stupid. aretha already said she has the bill taken care of. ***** PETA. she doesn’t need their “help”. people treat animals more humane than actual humans. SMH.

  6. dayg715

    she should take their money, then buy a new fur coat with it LMAO!

    Is it wrong for a rich and successful woman to have a sugar baby?? It is an absolutely extramarital relationship, but more and more services come out on Internet focusing on this kind of relationship, such as S u g a r m o m m a M e e t . c o m

  8. HereIambaby

    She is not look good in this picture. I saw her other better looking pictures on Blackcentury.com It is much better than this one. Maybe you want to check it out.

  12. Kompton's Kutie

  13. pm

    Peta, please Aretha dug that 19K from under on of those tig old bitties 2 weeks ago

  14. da darkness

    no child in africa should be left behind. that milk in them *****ies could feed the whole continent. @areatha for get that house you need to be on a farm filling baby breast milk. lmao! i’m sayin:-@

  15. Southern Belle 225

    SMH at you Auntie Re! You betta take that money gull!

  16. Shavon Denise

    Trust ReaRea got that dough already. And if she didnt she’s the Queen of Soul so someone would hook her up with all she’s done. But if I were her I wouldnt be muscled by PETA when they need to try to stop all those people that hunt instead of celebrities wearing fur. Now being that I’m me I would take the 19K cuz I dont need fur that much, shiat all I’ll have to pay is $192.00 more?! Sweeet.

  17. *starlight*

    she is as big as a bear anyway so to make her a fur coat they need to kill at least three bears for her *****!! lol

  18. adagsda

    BTW. Is it wrong for a rich and successful woman to have a sugar baby?? It is an absolutely extramarital relationship, but more and more services come out on Internet focusing on this kind of relationship, such as SugarmommaMatch.com

  19. HCR's # 1 Fan

    These PETA people are annoying as *****! I hope she turns them down COLD!

  20. JAD

    LOL…They are making it clear that a lot of animals are killed to make her coats!

  21. Bones is back........***** Marquis

    She looks really bad. Old and all, she does NOT LOOK healthy at all.

  22. Koi Norelle

    $19,000 is not a lot of money for Aretha Franklin, right? Isn’t she really wealthy?


  23. @ Koi

    $19,000 is not a lot of money for Aretha Franklin, right? Isn’t she really wealthy?

    —————————————————————————————-

    Wealthy? Naa I don’t think so. She might be rich but like Andre 3000 said on that Idlewild Soundtract “.. Rich is around the corner from the curb..”

    sad I know.

  24. Blacksmith

    PETA gets on my nerves. It’s called the 1st amendment, you can say, wear, act however you want.

  25. beautiful b

    look at them tig o bitties!! thats a lot of saggage. shes to rich for those issues. we know she saving money on bras

  26. Wenzel Dashington

    Mike Vick just said WTF!

  27. Madam"O"

    PETA has its nerve. I hate those folks, they ruin other peoples property with red paint and feel justified. I thought we had laws against destroying other peoples property?

    Go Aretha, get your R.E.S.P.E.C.T!!!!

  28. Honeydipt

    If she sold all them animal hides that she bought to cover her wide back azz she could keep her house and tell PETA to go to hell. And quit buyin sh*t you can’t afford Aretha, damn!

  29. GD

    Hahaha..I can’t….LOL…I can’t…LOL…I-can’t-get-…lol…the…words…out….i’m-laughing-so-hard-right-now….that’s a whole lot of animals that were sacrificed for that big ole body…lol….they asked her never to wear fur again? H:A:H:AHAHAHAHAH….LOL…I can’t take this…I quit…the world is officially coming to an end soon

  30. Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    I wish one of those PETA ppl would run up on her with some red paint — so that we could read how Aretha *****ed some lil white woman up by the throat and slammed her ***** to the ground…. all why asking her at the same time “what the hell is wrong wit y’all”????

  31. NO THANX

    Umm Aretha has already said that the tax situation was an oversight and that she has ALL of the money to cover it.

    PETA knows how to pick their battles! Mary J. Blige and Aretha Franklin are two women that I can almost guarantee you PETA will never run up on. Them folks at PETA are deep but they aint dumb!


  32. I KNOW SHE THE QUEEN BUT DAMMMMMM……SHE IS HARD ON EYES..

  33. Jahpson

  34. @ No Thanx

  39. liladge

  40. Jahpson

    PETA should take her furs AND her wardrobe. that woman needs to start wearing crewneck sweaters and shirts.

    put those gigantic nasty jugs away!

  41. Jahpson

    LMAO @ she should take their money and buy a new fur coat with it!!

    that would be some slick *****


  42. LOL@Jahpson!!!! Her breast are large and saggy…damn! And to think she’s a preacher’s daughter!!!

  43. TalkinNow

    “PETA knows it would take a whole gaggle of critters to cover Aretha’s wide load” ….LMBAO

  44. cherish

    that is soo backmailing. i know she is not going to take up the deal. she could find $19,000 doing a gig somewhere. but it would be nice if she stopped wearing fur because it takes a whole safari to build her closet

  45. lanette

    BOSSIP are you out of your minds? PETA is no better than the KKK …hell they compare animals to Blacks and slavery!

    you have no respect for Black women..this is just pathetic.

  46. happy to be alive

    Hey Aretha, your friend Omar the Tent Maker is in town with the Circus… time to take out the credit card and go shopping. hehehehehehehehehe I know he can spare a couple of tents…

  49. Queen, Either take the money or sell your ***** and save your castle because we know you would have a royal fit if you had to downgrade. And you would wanna act fast before you mess up your credit.

    Hey, it’s a simple solution.:-)LOL!!!
