- At 52, Bob Ross FINALLY Admitted What We All Suspected Before His Death
The Kowalskis versus Ross legal saga was a hot topic 30 years ago. Immediately after Bob Ross' death, the Kowalski couple's greed for total ownership of Bob Ross Inc. which the three partners had built together turned into cruelty. Bob Ross basically kept the company alive with his stunning landscape paintings, engaging TV show, and calm personality which fans loved. Without Bob, the Kowalskis knew they wouldn't rake in as much money as the sale of Bob's art and paintbrushes would, so they did the unthinkable. Three decades later, the Ross family has revealed the Kowalskis' selfish intentions, confirming what we were all thinking and suspecting about the couple. What lengths did the Kowalskis go to expand their wealth at the Ross family's expense? Keep watching because you're in for a shock.
I’ve been boycotting anything to do with the hostile takeover of the Bob Ross legacy and will continue to do so until his products and name is restored to the Ross family.
I stopped buying Bob Ross Inc products after watching the Netflix film, I still paint using Bob's technique but will never again give money to that toxic family
I agree the Kowalski family should be ashamed. I think the Ross family should benefit from all money made after his death.
From his paintings and supplies . So much for trusted friends when it comes to Greed , well they will have to answer to someone higher than themselves .. Greed has a price in the end. And It's HOT DOWN THERE!!
The Kowalski's should have been & still should be arrested for all the corrupt manipulative things they've done to Bob & his family.....how they're still being able to operate is an outrage & downright shameful😮
He was the best therapy anyone could have. He took people to another world. A truely gifted loving and peaceful man. I so miss him. RIP❤❤❤❤❤
The Kowalski family should be ashame of themselves. They leached all the joy out of the life of a man in his dying days. The prohibited his family from the legacy that was Bob Ross. they had an agreement that was drawn up that was not to fvor anyone but themselves. In the end all the work and talent one this one gentle man was only for their benifit, How very sad that they chose not to have the graciousness to include love in their plan. May justice of the universe be served on to them.
The Kowalskis stole Bob Ross's sons legacy. How can this vile couple sleep at night!!
My husband and I watched Bob Ross paint on his show and found his voice very soothing. “The angry clouds” and all his glorious works of art. My children watched with us. They are now ages 55, 51, and 45 years old. We are 72 years young.
Bob would draw his paint from the top of the canvas down and at first glance you didn’t know where he was going with the color. Then all of a sudden you saw what he was bringing out in the picture. He painted some great forests. We are so saddened to hear what he went through at the end of his life. He was definitely the better man. God will look on him kindly and give him a reward worth far more than the Kowalski’s took from him. RIP BOB ❤🙏🏻
Nope, and I never will again. That couple are greedy pigs. He was a sweet gentle soul who they harassed. No one should have to die like that. And as a fellow artist, that's not what he wanted his art to stand for. I feel for his family and hope they found peace in there memories and good times they had with him.
Here in Australia, I’d never heard of Bob Ross until I saw the documentary, I looked him up , what a lovely gentle man , I now follow his tutorials…
What filthy, money hungry vultures! They are disgusting people! But $ comes and money goes! And I sincerely hope that the Kowalski $ lovers learn their lesson some day! Money oftentimes disappears the same way it comes!😮 God Bless Bob Ross for bringing so much happiness and instilling hope in many people’s hearts with his art, for his kindness, and for his love and respect for animals! ❤❤❤❤❤
I loved watching Bob , this breaks my heart that they were greedy with him and his family !!! They will answer for it , RIP Bob !!! We love you and your painting . 🥲
What makes me so sad is that the Kowalskis made such a gentle soul experience such turmoil in his last days. Bob should have had a peaceful time in those days especially after he brought so much joy and peace to others during his lifetime. It's so true that money is the root of all evil.
I think everything needs to be given back to the Ross family.
Horrible people to bleed such a wonderful artist dry.
I loved Bob Ross and we refer to him today in acrylic painting using happy little trees. We loved him - not the company and NOT the greedy owners, who will or have paid for their evil deeds.
Surely a lawyer could have stopped their cruel and criminal actions
My father 80, my daughter 17 and I 57 all loved to watch your fathers show Steve Ross. And I am sure Chandra and her children will enjoy it also. Thank you Bob Ross.
It is sad that Bob Ross Inc. couldn't be divided equally and fairly. Even though Bob Ross' focus wasn't to make money, the Kowalski's, being in charge of business finances needed to do the right thing and give Bob Ross his fair share. Bob Ross' son needed a equal share too since Bob Ross' son promoted his father's painting techniques also. If the Kowalski's had respect for Bob Ross, they would have honored Bob Ross' calm way of teaching art. By fighting Bob's family and sueing organizations that were connected to the Bob Ross' business, the Kowalski's greed destroyed the calm atmosphere and spiritual essence Bob Ross portrayed. I know that Bob's painting helped many people, even when viewers didn't paint. Listening to Bob's tranquil voice calmed his audience. Audiences didn't have to paint. They felt at peace by simply watching the show. Slowing down and helping take stress out of our daily lives is a very needed skill in these often times in out turbulent fast paced lives.
Don't give money to the Kowalski, and don't buy anything that they are trying to sell.
Money and greed is so damn ugly. Money truly is the root of all evil. RIP Bob.
I met bob ross very nice man was so glad to meet him took painting lessons from steve ross did the ross family wrong won't buy any of the products. Ought to be ashamed
I love seeing all the pictures I’ve never seen of Bob and his family
Such a tragic story….greed overtook the Kowalski’s and Bob Ross had all the talent and his family was left out in the cold. Kowalskis were poor excuses for human beings…despicable.
He's one of the reasons I became an artist! Karma will make things right because no good comes from evil deeds! Bob and his family deserve better.
I will never ever put money in these people's greedy pockets. I PRAY one day Steve Ross will win this battle brought about by the greed of these people.
Bob has the sweetest heart you can tell he loved what he did painting this man is a legend it's people like the Kowalskis that make me sick
The Ross family needs to sue to own the name , likeness and all things pertaining to Bob Ross paintings. Ask for a jury trial.
Bob was a nice man who fell into a trap. Dollars win over kindness. Greed is a serious sin because it always leads to someone getting hurt!
So many artists , musicians, etc have been screwed by people like the kawalsikis. The legal system in this country is pathetic.
They will get theirs. Just give it time.
ITS THIS WONDERFUL MAN,THAT GOT ME PAINTING, I USED TO LIE IN BED AT NIGHT WATCHING HIM PAINT,HIS VOICE WAS SO SOOTHING THAT BY THE TIME HE FINISHED HIS PAINTING I FEEL ASLEEP.
THANK YOU BOB,FOR YOUR WONDERFUL PAINTINGS,AND TEACHING ME HOW TO PAINT.
REST IN PEACE
This always happens. A true talent and its parasites. Thank you bob for inspiring me personally to greater things. I will remember YOU not the parasites
The evil couple will surely reap what they sowed!!!
I never buy these products now
Kowalskis need to have everything they stole seized and given to Bob's son Steve.
Bob Ross started me off painting when I was 80 years old. I will be forever grateful for his gentle manner and easy style, he made it so easy to follow, it really was a joy. How the Kowalski's could treat him like that is more than shameful and they won't get away with it.
I loved Bob Ross, gentle sweet man, rest in peace , you are missed
He got cancer from inhaling all those paint fumes...Since the law gave the Kowalski EVERYTHING, it means that he worked for them. Wonder if he could have sued them regarding his health and endangered environment. OSHA should have been involved.
Bob Ross taught me to love painting and the Kowalski family should be ashamed at what they did and doing.
It sickens me that they treated him so badly and I won't spend one penny for them. How sad.
That couple should be sued for coursion, slander , 6:31 harassment and entrapment
Think of all the attorneys fees Bob Ross’s family had to pay fighting these rich greedy people…..😬
loved watching him paint and adored the squirrel. A friend was recently downsizing her mothers estate and gave me a fantastic gift of all kinds of art supplies, including 20 Bob Ross paints and mediums. Haven't tried them out yet but am looking forward to experimenting
What a beautiful person Bob was and a stunning artist, i wish i was taught by him when I was in school as i never learnt anything from our so called art teachers, but the nicer you are the more someone is going to take advantage of you, but greed doesn't get you anywhere, do they not realise that we all die one day and something we can't avoid.
I stared watching Bob Ross years ago,loved his paintings...which got me interested in painting.The Kowalski family are awlful.His rights should all to the Ross Family!!!!
What a terrible thing to do to his family. They are no better than thieves who steal candy from the family owned neighborhood store.
Whenever money is involved anything is possible
I will continue boycotting until Bob Ross's legacy is restored to the Ross's family.
What a disgusting pair of vultures they are. Bob was an extraordinary man who was brazenly tricked out of money he so well worked hard for I am so disgusted and feel terribly sad for Ross and his family
Bob Ross got me painting again! I love Bob and his son Steve. Wish Steve would come to Las Vegas,Nevada and assist me more in painting. Rest in Peace Bob Ross I love you and watch all the reruns of your show.
The Kowalski couple are evil horrible people and I will never buy anything that is connected to them or their family…. I love how Bob was such a gentle soul and his paintings are amazing ❤ I pray that the Kowalski’s have karma bite them in the you know what
The worst poverty,suffered is that of spiritual poverty, Bob's heart, wouldn't let him be anything but,true and sincere,man of essence,his spirit is endless.
It’s sad how they took advantage of Bob Ross
I love Bob Ross I watched the show all the time and even though I can't paint I still enjoy watching him God bless him with his painting 🙏🧡💙🩷❤️🪞😇🕊️🫂💋🙏
I was literally amazed to see this video! I knew nothing about his private life of this "GREAT PAINTER - BOB ROSS"! For many years I have followed his videos to learn to paint with his style that I liked very much. I even bought various brushes, spatulas and colors to better follow his lessons. And after seeing this video I consider myself very lucky to still have the brushes, spatulas and colors of his series. And I will preserve them with great care and love in memory of this "GREAT MASTER"! I am very sorry that he spent a troubled life and that his Art was not appreciated as it deserved! 😟😪👍👍👍👋👋👋
His son had to give them every single painting he had. They're some really bad people.
So sad to see what Bob Ross went through during his last days. No one should leave this world that way. Especially him. He was one of a kind. Such a calm and peaceful soul. I knew nothing about painting until I discovered Bob Ross on TH-cam about 10 years ago. I'd listen to his stories and fall sound asleep with his voice. Back then I had insomnia. He helped me sleep like a baby and I started painting shortly after. His passion for painting really rubbed off. RIP 🙏 Such a Wonderful soul!
These kowalskis family are money grabbing liars
LOVE YOU BOB ROSS AND FAMILY.. YOUR DAD BROUGHT SO MUCH HAPPINESS AND WONDER INTO OUR HOMES
THANK YOU BOB
REST IN PEACE
GOD HAS YOU MAN
Shame Shame on you!!!😢😢😢 Bob Ross was a great loving man. You will pay for that.
Their greed is sickening
I loved watching and listening to Bob Ross. How those people could do what they’ve done is beyond me, and goes against everything I’m sure Bob wanted. I have some Bob Ross brushes, and painting knives, using them regularly . I wil not now EVER buy anything that will put money in those peoples pockets. I just hope Karma takes them - the way they used Bob and his family. God bless you Bob, and wherever you are, remember, Keep Painting.
The show American Greed should do an episode about this family’s horrible greed and corruption.
I'm an artist and love Bob,seen products with his name and likeness logo,never will I buy such products
They are evil!
It's sad to know that people like this couple basically choose Greed over Bob Ross and his family. Shame, shame, shame on these old couple. Nothing last forever and I would like to see their company "in chapter 11"....
Greed...Greedy.. greed
Inhaling cigarette smoke ruined his health. Had he quit, he possibly would be alive to win in court. People dont think about getting a will, trust etc together usually until they or their spouse are sick; although it is a wise thing to do especially if you are in a business arrangement with other people! Hopefully other people can learn from this.
Bob Ross and his name and beautiful spirit WILL live on❤ His Legacy lives on and it’s shameful he and his family had to suffer from the greed of so called FRIENDS! Rest in Peace Bob Ross🙏🏻
Money brings out the worst in people and they will have to answer for their actions on Judgment Day 🙏🏻
Bob's son should sue the Kowalski's.
The Kowalskis definitely overstepped and behaved terribly towards Bob and his family at the end.
They already owned more than half of the company, they were already millionaires, how is that not enough? Bob’s art alone must be worth a couple million. I heard he created more than 30,000 pieces and to my knowledge that would all be property of the company 🤷♂️
Bob Ross was a G
Bob such a gentle human being-- certainly did not deserve the Kawasaki’s -- parasitic behaviour on his death bed -- Bob happy little trees❤❤❤
After watching this video, I would never buy the products. What a shame, for a wonderful man who gave joy to so many people. I actually learned to paint watching him back in the 80s. Wanda Waite PEI, Ca
The Create TV channel still airs Bob Ross painting videos, which I'm glad. But what I dislike, is the use of the Bob Ross name and brand, even the name of the program with another painter. The other painter is not Bob Ross, and no one can ever fill beloved Bob Ross shoes. Create TV ought to change the name of the TV show when they use a different artist. Shame on Annette Kowalski and her family for stealing from a gentle trusting man, and an even greater crime for harassing him in his final moments.
The Kowalskies were polar opposite to the great warm and charming Bob.
His show was the first thing i watched on satellite tv, i was instantly hooked, watching hours and hours of the joy of painting back to back.
Bobs gentile demeanor and absolute love of nature completely put me in a happy relaxing place, and i learned so much about art and how mistakes were bever made, only happy lil accidents. ...
Its terrible what those two horrible ppl did to bob and his family, un....forgivable...rip you absolutely legend.
This sickens me that he and his family were treated so bad.
Bob ross products were very good.to bad you cannot get them anymore. Nice history. I believe his son and his blood relatives should come first over any business agreement made.
What horrible people the Kowalski’s are to have done this to such a wonderful man. The daughter should return the Bob Ross name and money earned from it, to his son and brother. I find it quite sad what people do in the name of greed.
Some folks don't have any shame. I adored Bob Ross but am disgusted with the greed of the Kowalski's.
It is completely outrageous that the Kowalski family could get away with this corruption. I absolutely loved Bob Ross, I was lucky enough to meet him and his son Steve. Bob was such an inspiration to me as an artist and teacher. His family deserves better. All rights should be restored to the Ross family. The vile and evil Kowalski family need to pay for their shameful greed!
Money always changes people from good to evil. At the end. They can’t take their money with them. They’ll face everything they’ve done to Bob and his family once they met their days.
I will boycott all those who can be so heartless and greedy as the Kowalskis and family greed is a horrible disease
I really appreciate an loved all his paintings. I hate he left us he was one of my greatest artists he was just fantastic and I ❤him very much.
May Bob ..RiP .!
A real talent..
Created masterpieces ,..!
Sadly, you cannot trust anyone…what a shame…
People don’t understand business very well. The Kowalskis put up the money and business know how to get Bob Ross famous, and had a deal worked out that went very well for all of them. Only when he was dying did he try to give everything to Steve. The kowaslis invested in Bob when he needed money and was their company to do what they felt right. Thus why they won the lawsuit. If it wasn’t for these Evil Kowalski’s, the world most likely never would have knew Bob Ross.
Sad.... Greed!
Lesson taught, don't pick crooked Poles as partners
Bob Ross was brilliant. We all saw that. Anyone who corrupts his legacy deserves to feel the full force of the law.
Er wird bis zum Ende meines Lebens ein Highlight für mich sein❤
Another greedy Group trying to profit off the Mastership of a True Genuine Artist.
Bob was an inspiration.
I remember when I first thought I might try painting. It was a fantasyland painting. Had little creatures I called unibear or maybe he did, a large outcropping with a waterfall and a lake. And some different planets in the sky.
Yes, the Kowalsky family is very greedy and they will get there just as God will see to that. I wonder if they’re still living and what their life is like right now as far as the daughter she’s probably cut out of the same cloth and she will do everything she can to make her life easier. I am sure, what is one thing I do know is that Bob Ross loved everything God created and that’s why he was such a great artist because he had that special gift but God granted him thank God I got to witness him painting sitting next to my mom, who was also an artist
I wish Amazon, and walmart would not sell the products unless Bob Ross family receives what they should always had to begin with.
Jerks like that should be exposed. Like & comment / share the video.
it’s all honesty n trusts untill money surfaced…..
The love of money is the root of all evil.
I wish I could of met him in person
Kowalski should be more than ashamed! As always greed distroy many partnerships. Love Bob Ross painting-lessons, what a talented painter. Hope his legacy and name get back to his family so the Kowalskis can´t earn money they don´t deserves.
