16. Wonder if he was playing an old Ike Turner album when he started punching. Ike is Don's muse.

Currently working on a "Soul Train" movie

Victoria (his wife):
30 years his junior
Russian
No known occupation now or ever,
History of targeting older wealth men
Has been barred from local establishments for her emotional volitility
Desperate to be among the Hollywood Elite & "On the Scene"

18. I 'm sorry the don was arrested. I feel he has too much time on his hands and needs to remain creative.

SIMPLY NOT TRUE! Victoria is a friendly, classy woman. The fact that she is 30 years his junior is a non factor---especially in Hollyweird. Look at Hugh Hefner's women. Don't open your trap unless you know what you are talking about. Victoria is a classy reserved person, not some loudmouthed hard bitch.
I have personally met her and she has been nothing short of a wonderful polite and classy woman.

22. Promise SSSteve. I know more........Don't be influenced b/c an attractive woman was friendly to you.......How do you think women lik this get in.................

Look @ her background before marriage, nothing to speak of. Look @ her need to drag around an elderly man to be "on the scene". Look @ what drives her...money. Oh yeah, look @ her flirt with other men @ these events in front of her husband. Look @ her try to weasel her way into the business.
What part doesn't show that she has ulterior motives.

23. Oh yeah, "Hef's Women". That is a great correlation to "Classy Women". They are no more than concubines or prostitutes.

I am sure every father dreams of his daughter becoming a piece of live in tail to an 83 year old man who is known for switching women more frequently than underwear.

24. hey ME,
it's sad how you comment on this story with full faith in your "FAST FACTS" which i assure you, are NOT FACTS at all. Saying Victoria has no known occupation, now or ever, is completely wrong... In FACT she has worked since she was a young teenager, something you probably have not done. She is also not Russian, maybe it is because you are uneducated and wouldn't know the difference between places such as Mexico and Spain ( I know, Spain is quite different than Mexico, I'm just using it as an example to prove what an idiot ME is) or Russia and Ukraine but so far, your facts are garbage.
This "history" of targeting older men-well I ask you, how do you know? And her "background of marriage" how would you or anyone else for that matter get such information unless you were a close friend? Also, "Oh yeah, probably has an idea of what the sale of business is worth." ummmm DUH! you, me, and the rest of the world know what the sale of the business is worth, it was written in the papers!!!!!!!!!! you even threw out a figure.

so HMMM PRETTY INTERESTING indeed when an idiot like you appears. God i hope you don't participate in the elections!

SO CLEARLY YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, except for some of the facts under Don

25. btw...I'm sure if she wanted to weasel her way into the business, she would have done so, don't you think? I mean, they have been together for a decade already...

so you're wrong again :)

26. simply honest -

I hope I am wrong and you are right. In fact, I hope it had nothing to do with her or anyone else. Best case scenario is that it is a big misunderstanding.

Ukraine became independent after the dissolution of the Soviet Union (now Russia) in 1991. She was born before 1991 correct? But you already know this, just like you know most of the things I stated to be true.

Tell me, if Don is so evil & Victoria a saint, why would he adopt her full-grown daughter (appx. 20 years old) that she had with another man?

The sale terms were never disclosed. Anyone who is not in the business or extremely familiar w/ the family would have probably never taken note of this transaction, much less the sale amount, Soul Train is a privately held company and has no requirement to "make public" this information as a publicly held company would. But you knew this already right??

Interesting how angry you get even though you do not know either party invloved.

How about the "MAIN" fact. He is 72 years old! What kind of domestic violence could he really engage in?? With Victoria or anyone else for that matter. Who would truly be intimidated by a 72 year old man?? He was not even able to fly without getting sick or having a seizure. And what kind of "violent man" would wait until he is 72 to show his true colors?? I have NEVER heard of any assault charges on him, have you or anyone else???

The activity that occurred that night and his prior history is what will determine whether this is true or just a manipulation of an old man. But since you are so "in the know" you already know what happened last Friday. Right?

PS.
I am highly educated, own my own business, (mid-6-figures) and have worked since I was 12. But how about you disprove what I said instead of working on my background. I am not a party to this matter. For example, if she has worked for that long, what sort of occupations has she held? And did they generate income? Last I heard she was a not-so-starving actress (thanks to her husband) that has no book or history of work. IMDB her, 1 credit for background on a soap opera almost 5 years ago, oh and don't forget to look @ the star meter. It went up almost 300% since last week before this incident. Looks like she is getting a handle on the Hollywood machine, guess she found out that dragging Don out to the IVY where they could be photographed & end up on TMZ was not enough to really get her anywhere.....

27. btw...I'm sure if she wanted to weasel her way into the business, she would have done so, don't you think? I mean, they have been together for a decade already...

She has tried & failed miserably. But seems to be extremely persistent. Ask those working on the production or in the office. Or ask other wealthy men who are married in California and see who have a "steel trap" on their core wealth. Majority have air tight pre-nup's and have tied up their business profits in corporations whose profits are manipulatable and moveable at a moments notice..............and more than anything, unaccessable to the 2nd, 3rd etc. wife.

nice........but try again.

28. This story is just sad. I knew and did business with Don Cornelius 20 years ago. He was and is an intelligent, elegant, honest man. Don Cornelius is not OJ. He was in poor health 30 years ago. Health is one reason he gave up hosting the program. There is no way that he would be a wife beater. Beware to anyone who judges first and rushes to judgment. It is detestable that a man's reputation and life's work could be destroyed in this way. I am sure there is more to this story; Don Cornelius is no wife beater.
