Raynoma Singleton Allegations Against Barry Gordy on Geraldo
A 1990 clip from the Geraldo Rivera show features Raynoma Singleton, Barry Gordy's ex-wife, making salacious allegations about Gordy's past in Detroit. Singleton claims Gordy acted as a pimp before Motown's success and expresses bitterness over receiving only a plaque after the company sold for $61 million. The hosts discuss this as an early example of the "cancel cannon" used to marginalize a successful black mogul.
