I love my brother Nesta. His music comforted me through some hard time but I just didn't like how he disrespected Rita. I am glad she stuck it out to reap the benefits. RIGHT IS RIGHT😢
💯
Everybody wants a piece of Bob.
Everybody got a piece of Bob lol
And they got it, and that’s what he wanted too.
Respect for Rita, she's very strong . Jah bless her👊👊👊
Read her book.......
Frfr.
I love the way all of bob marley's children excepted themselves as brother & sister's reguardless of not having the same mom.
Rita Robinson a lot of Bob real kids them run them can't even use Bob name a Rita do it too
@@Princesstsehaimusic its a human thing.
Read Rita's Book and what she says about this woman ???.....
Not all...
Who wouldn't?
Rip Bob...you didn't deserve to die in that way!!!❤
@Wandah Whetstone
May be...
Trying to wrap my head around how we keep saying a married man was dating and/or had girlfriends! What a mess our world continues to be in!
Bob is A Legend, for the people who wants a Mankind.
Esther Anderson acted in A WARM DECEMBER with Sidney Poitier back in the early 1970's . That was a lovely but sad film and Esther played a good part then became a photographer .I have the dvd she's talking about. I would recommend it to anyone .
Teresa Billington i need it
Yes. I saw it on tv years ago but can’t find it anywhere on dvd. Love to get hold of it!!!
Also stars Johnny Sekka and Yvette Curtis
She always exaggerates her own significance , she was just another girlfriend.
I would say groupie. Respect but she is.
@@diamondmoeleneaux3887 Yeah groupie would be a better term I guess!
I respect the Queen Mother Rita Marley 🌹👏🖤🤎✊
Bob was a a philosopher, a business man and certainly a philanderer. He was a wild man.
What a lovely lady esther, i never stop admiring your airbags.
Lol 😆
Can Cindy take all thinks Queen Rita took as wife ? I don't think so
Read Rita's book and make your own mind up....I came away from it feeling quite sad how things transpired and certain character facets of Cedella Booker, Rita and Bob .....a very interesting read ......
Do u think if he was a mountain bush singers , Cindy and the others would of came running hell no ,🙅♂️💲💲💲
She was older than Bob and still here. Esther did not just do her job as a photographer for Bob she got entangled even though she knew he had wife and kids. Esther even told Rita stop having kids!!
Bob wasn't with Rita he lived with Esther No one new about Rita because bob didn't love Rita
@siofra3819 if you study Bob's behavior he loved one.
@@siofra3819that’s a whole lie. He didn’t live with Esther. Esther came to Hope road a lot and traveled with Bob a lot because she was his photographer turned girlfriend.
@@siofra3819 I guess he didn’t love Rita to the point that he kept sleeping with Rita while on tour and by not divorcing her.
@@jenny-im9gcBob and Rita had separate bedrooms while on tour. After Bob moved on Hope Road they never lived together ever again. They led separate lives.
🙋🏾♀️😳 this is just so crazy to me”😳All these women knew Bob Marley was married, and if they didn’t know right away, they knew later and continue to have a relationship with him This is weird””””””😳🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️. I am 60 now new to be in 60 in my life I met a man who was not beautiful. Had everything going for him? I didn’t know at the time it took about a week and I found out he was married”” . I dumped him “ quicker than a prostitute could think about turning the trick, it was the way I was raise my morals how I thought about myself my standards I thought about his wife like this is somebody husband not only that I would never be second to know woman if I can be first, the only one that I won’t be at all, . so I look at all of these women with the most disrespect the most lol lives no pride for themselves he was married he was married the net these women should have told him get a divorce, and we can be together he was married, regardless of what he was married had a wife and children and all of these women was OK with being a side chick ace, the second 2,3,4.
💯
Bob marley is my idol always was always will be
Ms. Anderson speaks of the many women and babies he had, along with finding out he had a wife. Yet according to Rita and others close to Bob she kept right on sleeping with him and even had a confrontation with Rita. It is a shame that Rita got little respect but in the end she got the respect, the legacy and the cash and is now living as the rightful Queen. KARMA!
On a real I don't see why Bob's side chicks doing interviews they knew he was married and have the guts saying I was bobs gf smh,I know she sorry she didn't get pregnant too. Rita is the winner here after all Bob did to her she has his legacy.
Angel Goaldigger She is lying through her teeth she confronted Rita about her own husband when Rita went to Hope Road to talk to Bob one morning. She was upstairs on the veranda, after she had spent the night with him. Rita had her kids in the car. She asked if Bob was there and this side piece said, why don't you stop breeding, and let the man sleep he needs his rest. Girl if that had been me, she would have went to sleep that day after I knocked that ass out. Rita said she cursed her and Bob out, got the money she needed and left.
So yes, she knew he was married and got what she deserved. All the books I read say Bob got tired of her and dumped her. You would think that her and Cindy at the age they are now would have some remorse for the way they disrespected Rita. Of course they knew he was married. They have no respect now, discussing their affair with Bob, knowing his wife, kids, and grandkids will see it. But Rita has been Blessed. Honored all over the world, have millions of dollars, is loved and respected and these old side chicks, have nothing but memories! Plus Esther is broke, I heard somewhere she had to take out a loan on her house to do this documentary.
Angel Goaldigger Yes, they are. According to Bob's manager as well as Rita. Cindy didn't pay Bob any attention until he hit it big, before that she ignored him. Bob was sleeping with Cindy, her two friends who were sisters and dated them in front of Cindy. Plus he had another child after Damian. Her and Esther use to date Chris Blackwell . I know the songs on the Kaya album were written before her. I heard her mentioned Kaya and I thought the same thing, she lying.
He is the one who over and over disrespected his vows and his children.
mspinkytee
So the women who knew he was married and slept with him bare no responsibility, is that what you are saying? Esther was with this man in front of his wife, and talking crap to the wife in front of the children according to Rita, in her book. Since Esther, have not refuted anything Rita wrote about her. I take it Rita's words were true. So you are saying this woman is guiltless?
She can talk nice now, but they were all gold diggers first class!
Including Cindy
Bob was a player
Not a player, just human.
He was a wiffa
Simple ❤️💛💚
HIS Life sucks all Jamaican Musician & RASTA felt they had to be a BOB MARLEY with 12 different BABY MAMA. Love him as a Musician not the way he lived is life and the disrespect he Showed RITA.✌✌✌✌❤❤❤❤
I'd rather have a real man, than a batty boy, his Majesty made woman for him to love, and he stepped up like a king and made many women very,very happy all those women were blessed to be with him if only for one night, now he's jamming with all the beautiful angels making music and love with his Majesty's approval no doubt. Long live the king
don't forget he had a wife
Yes but we don't know what their arrangement was!!!
Why? He forgot 😂😂😂
He didn’t.
Rita Marley will for ever be the great classy wife of Bob. Not these bitter side pieces.
Rita ,& bob did not live together the last 10 yrs of his life That is why there were other women to give him children he wanted
@@kathrynearle787 - Weird to champion adultery. If this woman was so great, why didn't she raise all of Bob's kids? Why didn't he marry her?
@@kathrynearle787Rumours. Read the books do the research
❤thank you
You knew bob marley was married
His wife Rita came to see you and had a row with you it in her book.
But you carried on with him
In Rita Marley book bob Marley cheated on her many time on tours he had woman on tour bus in front of her
I love bob Marley
But he was a player
He has so many children of different
Woman
Fact
But I enjoy watching the documentary
She's spilling the (mint) tea.......
What is that playing in the background please somebody
K-G ForLifegameing I like it as well. Did you find it?
Rita was like alot of Caribbean women at that time . She helped build him up , but wasn't masculine in that she let him be a man . He did have affairs and philander as is the culture in the BLK community all over the diaspora .Yes they were a humble generation women liked sharing and had the siblings playing together .Also the women now ; they won't tolerate cheating without a fight .
But yes Bob was cut from a different cloth . It was his family that made him great anyone who came after 75 was the garnishings that comes with fame glory and earnings
Classic case of get money get redbones,they call him a womanizer but they all know he was married
Bob loved the women and clearly, they loved him back. Dude did a lot of sticking and moving, it seems.
What's the tune playing in the background?
it is a free instrumental track called "jammin" from the Audio Network website.
Thank you!
Wow!!
I have been saying this since I seen Jamie Foxx did Ray Charles movie I said to myself they need to make one of Bob Marley one that in-depth and how they treated us in the slum and how hard it was it would be nice but who would play bob
Seifullah Kheary the movie is in the works.
Bob Marley! Hehe!
Skip marley
My interview with Esther Anderson, actress, photographer, filmmaker and Bob Marley's ex-girlfriend. We talk about "Bob Marley: Making of a Legend".
Enjoy!
Please tell me what you think!

Yeah....Rita almost Beat that ass over there at 56 Hope Road. Read Rita's Book!!
+Taais Morton-B She should have dragged that ass!
Taais Morton-B BEAT HER FOR WHAT??? A WOMAN SHOULD NOT FIGHT ANOTHER WOMAN OVER A MAN. A DI MAN MUST GET THE THE LICKS.
SUN SHINE but it never goes like that does it
SUN SHINE no bullshit she was talking shit to Rita that means beatdown time read the book
The Rookies (1972) marathon brought me here.
Bob was a married man.He never divorced Rita.Why would these Jezebels proudly flaunt the FACT.?
Bob was the one who married rita, not her! Why blaming her? Bob was the one who should be loyal to his wife!
Matty yes he was married BUT this woman knew that!!! The minute she and all the other side chicks found out they should’ve BACKED OFF !!! A married man is TAKEN and belongs to his wife !!! no woman should come in between that union/bond.
@@Meiday11 Fi tell u the truth if me see one man good looking and a look me and him my married me Naa refuse him and me like him no sah a so it go
They r not flaunting they are part of the history so why wouldn't they!?
@@Meiday11Not everyone share the same values but when things go around and come back around, weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth😢
❤️
i think ms esther regrets she never had a son for bob marley. not only would that link her forever to bob but also his legacies.
That's what I think too. Lol
+Mark Peter, she was so verbally disrespectful to Rita at one point though. I know a lot of 'them' wished they had a child for Marley, just to be "relevant". lol
Lani Anthony that's crazy and pathetic.
Mark Peter true jealous
A beautiful musical talent!
Anyone can tell me where this photo was taken?
Trinidad
Joe Higs is a legend.. more sophisticated than the others
shelagh mcgee and6uduikk
thanks for
I noticed Rita isn't credited on the film poster....🤔.... Bob's number 1 not credited?.....shade
Do you honestly think the former side chick is gonna put the wife's name in the credits?!! Are you really that naive?
blackpower history approved
Yeah, because old men are so attractive. Sexism sucks.
Joe Higgs! Everybody knows him tell us something we don’t know,
Let her speak!. .she should! ❤
You really don't know what you would do or say in her situation. Then n now!
Joe Higgs son Mani miss you my brother and our Reasonings! ONE LOVE!
He had a wife. How then is she a girlfriend? smh
4:32 wow
damn bob marley was all over the place
had she known he would be a legend afterwards.....
Lol...wasn't he married?
common law and he was a star. figure!
Yes, he was legally married. Rita was NOT his common-law wife. Watch the documentary Marley on Netflix. There are pictures of their wedding day, and they were very young. And Rita talks about their wedding day, and so does Bunny Wailer. Also, when he died Jamaican law recognized Rita as his legal wife, and she is very wealthy today. These side chicks don't have nothing but old memories, and illegitimate kids. I also read Rita's biography, and this woman Esther Anderson, came out on a balcony (Bob was in her bed), and yelled at Rita " Go, home and stop procreating"! Rita was pregnant at the time with Stephen. This Esther is a real piece of work. No morals or respect whatsoever.
@@42Laj Don't like to say it but if this story is true it shows a complete lack of respect towards Rita by someone else as well.
@@robertlund5694not common law
Cindy and Rita were his two true loves...
Definitely not only“RITA” and RITA ALONE WAS IS ❤️
Not Cindy.
@@terrancemaloney29seriously what's wrong with you people Bob Marley never really love Rita after she stepped out and even got more than one kids for other men furthermore Rita used to forge Bob Marley's name to get money and he would often say to Don Taylor "you have to watch rita you Nuh because she can sign my name better than me"
As Don Taylor puts it the only woman that Bob ever really love was Cindy breakspear but this was until he found out that she only sized the opportunity to get pregnant for him because it ensure that she could always get more money out of him for it was because of his money that she was able to go to England to take part in the Miss world competition in 1976 because the government here in Jamaica did not sponsor her to go to England so it was Bob's money she took to go to England
@@adrianbennett9875 and how MANY kids did Bob have on her??? So what! Bob accepted Stephanie as his own child and raised her until his death. Also, Don Taylor book is full of lies and gossip, he released it at a time when he was beefing with Rita, and she threatened to sue him because of the book. Bob beat Don Taylor up many times because he was a fraud and was stealing from him. Cindy even herself stated his book had lies in it. People love to say Cindy is the true love because she was white and downplay Rita. However, Rita is the only woman who was with him from before the fame and remained married to her till he died, he never divorced her even when Cindy and her mother wanted him too. That’s why she the keeper of his legacy, wealth and the only one who has his last name! Cindy was a glorified sidechick who Bob lusted after because she was a uptown beauty queen, but make no mistake if he was still the ghetto boy in trenchtown when Rita was with him, Cindy wouldn’t go anywhere near him.
@terrancemaloney29 Rita's first child was born before they started dating, and yes she had another child with someone else during the marriage, but that was AFTER Bob had a church of kids with other women. What's good for the gander is good for the goose😎
When you have 🌟 power and money, lots of money, both men and women will be after you( in a sense they're all gold diggers ) for whatever they can get from you, if Bob was not successful Rita would have divorce him, ( Knowing that he was a womannizer ) so she tolerated his disrespectful of him, at the end she played all the right cards and ended with the JACKPOT. If you have no money you go HUNGRY, she played for long Haul. You see let's not denied our selves the truth,98% of World population are good diggers, men and women. Merry Christmas to all and find your GOLD in the coming New Year. Peace ✌️ to all.
divorce wasnt so easy and Nana Rita's legacy was tied to Bob's. They were both musicians.
Bob Marley
Nesta really dispersed his seed equitably
If Bob's music is no longer his music or his familys music or Jamaca's music why continue listening????????????????????????? That information has saddened Bob Marley fans - thats the way I feel which ever way you look at it.
Rumours the Marley family owns all his music! Queen Rita made sure of that!
GWAN ESTHER, i learnt a from this interview
I love Bob Marley but he never practised what he preached. He was an adulterer blatantly in his wife's face. Totally disrespecting Rita with all these women. Rita has the patience of saint. That woman is a queen. Bless you Rita.
It was Solomon
The way she speaks and to a lesser degree her looks remind me of Cindy!
qt
🇧🇴
Why is she talking? Lady, who cares.
do my research you say??? I think 20years of studying rastafarianism and bob marley gives me some insight into HIS life,and lifestyle...i studied HIM very hard before internet came along and searched extensively for every bit of information VIABLE to HIS story....My words may have been a little harsh, truth. But this woman just wants to get on the gravy train,and good on her if peoplewant to watch her movie,or as I call it CRAP....She will go down in history as the ONE who failed miserably.
Marley is ah shotta
you know boss
Keron Little lmao
A gyalis. Lol
Richard Heke, you might be right that Rita may be his true love, but don't be rude to call these women these names. During that time these woman achieved stardom on their own. Think about it... Miss World..., Television and Movie Star , Producer of the Harder They Come. Do your research before you judge!! Google Sidney Poitier’s A Warm December
God tell me a kill them kill bob marley di spirit of god tell me so farm 1995
Who is she ?
so this girlfriend actually didn't have a kid with Bob Marley?
Ato Cox I guess shes a Byron Barrel
No, she used protection - she wasn't going to be his breed-up.
boomwaddis--- yep and now she seems bitter she had no children from him.
boomwaddis atleast him get fi dig out har belly. Only problem is that him nuh dash love juices up Inna har belly
i commented positively on Bob Marley, i receive empty reply without referring to my comment, now who ever that is replying me should refer to my comment,OK. my comment then is that Bob Marley is a good man with inspiration to the world wide, he talk to Government to change for good and stop intimidating people and also some said that Bob Marley is a dirty person, i reacted against it then, so that clean person who give himself exam ans passed let him appear to the world examination so that we will know he is dirty than Bob Marley or neat than Bob Marley, am waiting for his reaction, his name is Mark Peter, he is below under my comment here. i wait for you.
God "BLESS" the "woman" ... biting my tongue. Throwing 🍋🍎🍏🍐at her. And not good fruit either!
😂😂😂😂😂
Yu lie, cuz Bob and the wailers, was popular in Jamaica since his first hit ''simmer down''.
YOU THOUGH ALL PEOPLE THOUGHT THE SAME? N!O
Mental!
Les grand américain
Bob used this song writher no one see that
how are people in the comment section calling her money hungry when there is bob marley iced tea, a bob marley restaurant, bob marley headphones, etc?
+miamiwax Because she is. Rita and those kids own the rights to Bob Marley's image. Meaning everything even the ice tea.
+msrubie11 --Rightly so, she was there all the time, & who was married 2 him, Bob made those kidz, surely he meant 2 take care of them, a side-chic has no rites, I would'nt b proud of being some one''s mistress.
Kimberly Griffin Esther should be getting her money from Chris Blackwell since she said they were partners. He is wealthy and she is trying to exploit old fading memories of yesterday with Bob Marley! Evidently that was a one-sided partnership.
From reading Rita's book and seeing bold and disrespectful she was. I think she was always jealous of Rita and those kids, because she knew Bob was not going to leave them for her, and evidently no one else. After all these years she still is, how Sad!
IKR--a lot of them were disrespectful, no 1 seemed 2 honor their marr, "& Rita was a tru soldier.
Kimberly Griffin You would think time, age and wisdom would have brought about humility with reflection. Instead a couple of them are reliving this in the media as if they were the wife and we know they were one among many. Ultimate disrespect!
Did she know that he was married when she met him? If so I don't feel sorry for her...
Bob Marley make mistakes like everyone else we all sin's he is not perfect please remember that we all will face the JUDGMENT throne of Christ
lemmieatit
Archbishop Abuna Yesehaq, who baptized Bob into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church 8 months before his death, said that Bob near the end was trying to be and live righteous...So even on one's deathbed, one can be redeemed
mistake is something done unintentionally.
The problem is he kept making them
@@karajones2530 Which ones exactly? That's not very clear!... Is it wrong to have sex with more than one person?
@@tructruc7073 if u r married it is
Maybe her innocence is what saved her from babies, probably insist that using contraceptives. Him Neva get fi dig out har belly the right way
I thought his children had the rights to his music. She is saying Chris Blackwell owns the right to all of Bob Marley’s music.
this was filmed 11 years ago apparently. Maybe at that time he did. It is my understanding that the family has it now or most of it.
Bob Marley was crazy did not respect or love any woman a very terrible person in my eyes
He didnt love himself. How could he love anyone!
Look at those waves on them moving yo mmm
I am a women pleaser
She didn’t age too well tho 🥴
Lol
Yes she did. She's a beautiful woman.
Very beautiful at 70
She is looking lovely
Chris Blackwell gave direction then introduced the world to reggae.....
Ex is when they break up.he died she was the favour one
Et soi disant les grand américain coller sur mon nom et le monde change de couleur de créateur
Let’s be respectful people. There is no need to be call her names. I believe every word that she speaks. He could have been faithful to his wife, but he wasn’t. He was just a man (no disrespect) and men make mistakes or rather decisions, but are the women always denigrated for what men do themselves!?!
But she knew bob Marley married so she not telling the truth
No being horrible
Or dispectful
Ohh lady, miss world created one of the greatest men to walk the earth...tek yuh time 😭😭
Bob was not just a legend in his music, he had to be a beast in the boudoir ! He didnt chase the ladies, he was pursued relentlessly by them. He didnt get no rest. Poor man. The ganja was his only escape. He could literally trip over the ladies. I dont blame them, i would have been in hot pursuit too. Every lady wanted a sample of his kinky reggae.
Rebecca, let me be your Bob 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You see the way he moved his hips on stage? Lol
One bitter woman
Lol!
Veulent me parler aujourd'hui de mangé avec la reine d'Angleterre qu'il marche
HOW CAN GOD ALMIGHTY BE WHO IAM?
Studying Rastas for 20 years doesn't mean that you have any closer insight to information that isn't already out. It only means you where slower to gain information as it seems you did most of it without the internet. Rastafarianism has nothing to do with Bob Marley's career and the music industry. While it's ok to be a Marley fanboy, don't discredit the other people that has accomplished equally as much but gets overshadowed with the commercialization of Bob Marley. Let her tell her story too.
"as much"? Really? No way...
Beautiful, true comment. You Right. Ppl don't even know the History of Rastafarian. They think they do, but they don't. Many ppl overshadowed, get zero credit. Bob popularize Rasta, but he didn't invent it. Leonard Percival Howell from Clarendon did. He was my father's cousin and him & the original Rastas went thru great persecution & tribulation bc Rastafarians were'nt accepted by Govt & Jamaican society at the time. SMH.
ha ha,u sorry u didn't get a little Marley..omg.hush.
Anderson is speaking the truth. Chris Blackwell, Island Records and Bob Marley were all controlled operatives. If the entire truth on the inner workings of the commodity called "Bob Marley" we're revealed, his marketability would suffer hugely. If all of his followers the world over discovered that Bob didn't write the songs or lyrics and was just someone hired to perform them and was short changing all of his loyal band members of their fair share of the money, his popularity would plummet and so would the income that his name and image produces. He was and still is a cash cow of the corrupt music industry.
Robert Ellison Sad fact the music industry is corrupt
Do you believe for instance the Beatles wrote.all their songs. It's practice to buy copywrite.of a.song from a poor starving unknown writer then use it as your own. It's rife.and. "normal practice"
I'm very interested in this but it's hard to find information on it. I know a little about freemasonry infiltrating Jamaica and the Rastafari but do you have info on Bob just being another actor?
LOL!
😂
Pour la corruption
He used the woman to flim too who will not catch feelings.
big up to esther , let her do her thing ....if you wise you will come away with with a jewel, if not, you will go a scornful fool.
