Pointer Sister Bonnie arrested during traffic stop
LOS ANGELES — Authorities say singer Patricia "Bonnie" Pointer of the Pointer Sisters has been arrested for investigation of possessing rock cocaine.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says the 61-year-old singer was arrested Friday in South Los Angeles after the car she was riding in was pulled over for a mechanical malfunction.
Deputies say she was released after posting $10,000 bail.
In a statement issued through her manager Robert Watson, Pointer thanked the public for their support and prayers.
Watson declined comment on the arrest.

A racist arrest, simple. As she's a gay icon, it infers passive homophobia. Case closed.

Not surprising. The music industry is FULL of crack and coke addicts, and they've been addicted to it since the 70s and switched to crack in the 80s or 90s.
There's an episode of intervention where some female music producer or record company executive who worked with various soul, disco, and funk artists and knew everyone in the biz and was even on soul train was addicted to coke and smoking crack and had been for decades.

Not Bonnie too.
The one sister died from being addicted to drugs for over thirty years.
Sad. They were a great group at one point.

She was riding in her car
duh dum do dum
Turned on the radio
Took out her crack pipe
duh dum do dum
It was late at night
And when she took the hit
du dum do dum
The cops done had a fit
Bonnie had her sisters sang with Sylvester
But left the group when some of them learned he was a mister
Fucked her way up the Motown chain
But only ever had one claim to fame
Was no one ever knew her first name

Wanna thank you for the rock you brought me
Thank you for the torch you got me
Thank you for holding it close
When I needed that big dose
Now I don't know where it comes from baby
Don't know where it's been my baby
Heaven must have sent blow baby
To be smoked by me...

June was the lesbian sister, who died a few years ago. She also had major drug problems.

Which Pointer Sister was the one who had the dripping snatch getting out of the bathtub in the "I'm So Excited" video? That horrific image traumatized me in my childhood.

I hope that Bonnie Pointer will get her life together. I still wish that June Pointer was alive. Her voice had the fire like a gospel singer.

Very sad. Not a surprise, of course, as the industry is full of aging addicts, but she's too old for this.

Jeez R15 I know you're gay but really Vag isn't THAT scary, even if it's a furry black pussy on a lesbian and you're not sexually attracted to women at all.
Don't become a total misogynist fag like some are here.

They need to do an Unsung on The Pointer sisters. We still don't know the whole story on why Bonnie left the group and why they wouldn't let her back in. After June died there was a story on ET on how they wouldn't even let her ride in the limo with the rest of the family.

Bonnie was one of the 2 founding members of the group. They let June be a druggie all those years and didn't kick her out. Maybe they're still bitter that Bonnie left for a solo career. They thought it might mean the end of the group, but eventually they were bigger than ever.
Bonnie was under pressure from her producer/husband to let him control her career. That's a big part of why she left. And after one huge disco hit, he quickly drove her career into the ground. But she loved him I'm sure and it was her choice. She seems to still have enough money to buy drugs anyway.

I'd like to see a good bio on the sisters that truly dishes the dirt. But "Unsung" is only for acts that had some critical acclaim, but weren't able to maintain success, and were therefore "unsung." The Pointer Sisters were far too successful for that. Something like a True Hollywood Story episode would be better, wish they were still airing that regularly.

Rumor always was that Bonnie was/is a tranny. Look at the childhood pictures.
There are three sisters and a brother. Discuss.

This is by far the oldest thread I've seen bumped. Bitch r35 was really working overtime to fuck up the board a few days ago -- you can't find this thread in a search, even now. Someone had to spend time on Google digging this shit up.
Just because the bumping troll now posts "anyone have any gossip" instead of "bump" when he does this doesn't somehow mean he's reformed.
