Personal Life Of Bob Marley

In 2005, Rita Anderson, Marley's widow, wrote a biography in which he was harshly criticized her husband. In No Woman, No Cry, as the title of the book. According to Rita, the couple lived in a shack, Bob only had one pair of underpants, which she washed every night. He also claims that the reggae star went to a mansion in Kingston, where he lived with several lovers (one of them went on to become Miss World) and even got to raise some of the children that Bob had with these women.

And the list of children of Bob is immense: in 1968 had a son named Ziggy Marley Rita Anderson, in 1970, had a son named Lucille Robbie Williams, one of his girlfriends in Trench Town. Janet Hunt, Rohan Marley concebió (future husband of Lauryn Hill). His frequent trips to London were also not true, as he was born Karen Marley, daughter of an Englishwoman named Janet Bowen. Even a Barbados-born Jamaican, Lucy Pounder, Julian had with Bob Marley.

Another of his girlfriends, the tennis champion Anita Caribbean Bellnavis, became the mother of Kymani Marley. In 1975, Cindy Breakspeare, who was about to become Miss World, gave birth to Damian Marley. Another was the actress girlfriends Esther Anderson, who had had affairs with Marlon Brando and Chris Blackwell. For this reason many Rastafarians consider him "King of Reggae", but not exactly a role model for missing the livity (lifestyle) of Haile Selassie I.

All these statements have not sat anything right the Jamaican government, especially when they learned that Anderson announced plans to exhume her husband for burial in Shashemene, Ethiopia, where the Emperor Haile Selassie gave some land to a group of Rastafarian Jamaicans residing in that locality. The relationship between the Jamaican government and Anderson was critical, as they consider Bob an idol and a strong tourist attraction for foreigners. Do not forget that the house-museum of Bob is the main attraction of foreigners who arrive throughout the year to the Caribbean island. Far from calm things down, Anderson reminded the government of his country, in Jamaica, Bob was shot in his home and suffered exile. "Bob would rather stand on the African continent rather than an island where their ancestors were taken as slaves "came to mean the widow of Bob.
