Official Statement from Omarion Regarding Chris Stokes: "'I want to be on the record as saying that 'Raz B' Thorton and Ricardo Thorton are lying regarding Chris Stokes. Chris is a father figure to myself, and many others in the industry. He's guided us, helped raised us and is nothing more than an inspiration and someone I respect to and look up to. I have spent countless hours, days, weeks and months with the man since the age of 5 and have never once seen him behave inappropriately. He's married to my aunt and I know this man very well. I stand behind him with no question whatsoever,' said Omarion. 'I have grown up around Chris and this is crazy to me. These people have damaged me, and my reputation and I won't stand silent and will do all within my means to speak the truth about this matter,' said Omarion."
B2K Claims Rape!
Well, as if 2007 wasn't rife with enough scandals the now defunct boy band B2K has posted an eye popping VIDEO on YouTube claiming rape. It's a two parter, but basically Raz-B claims that the band was systematically raped and pimped out to many men and included in orgies by their manager, Chris Stokes.
Chris Stokes has flat out denied the allegations and sent out the following statment:
"The accusations that Demario "Raz B" Thorton and Ricardo Thorton have made are vehemently false and hold no merit. I have recently stopped financially supporting both individuals along with assisting them with their criminal and legal matters which leads me to believe they are resentful and looking to benefit financially from this."
The statement continues: "My family is my first priority and the reason why I have been so supportive of them. In bringing these false claims, they have not only slandered me, they have also put me in a position to ensure that the truth is known and I will take all legal routes to protect myself, my family and my four children ... It's also quite ironic that these statements were made only 2 weeks after they were denied admittance by a venue for an event I hosted in Beverly Hills."
Here's the infamous YouTube clip:
