AceShowbiz - One of Bob Marley's baby mamas has come under fire over her tribute post for the late star on what would have been his 79th birthday. Cindy Breakspeare has been dragged online by social media users for her birthday post which they dubbed "disrespectful."
On Tuesday, February 6, Cindy shared throwback pictures of the Jamaican musician and reminisced their time together. In the caption, she alluded to her tryst with the "One Love" hitmaker at the home he shared with his wife Rita Marley.
"Bob, on what would have been your 79th Birthday, I celebrate the incredible impact you've had globally, cherish our amazing son Damian," the Canadian-Jamaican jazz singer began writing, "and reminisce about the beautiful times we shared-from 56 Hope Road to your mother's home in Delaware and Miami, New York, Oakley Street in London, The Bahamas, Trinidad, and beyond."
"The memories are countless, but our love for you is endless," the 69-year-old former beauty queen added, before concluding, "Happy Birthday to the people's hero, loved and revered by all."
Cindy turned off the comments on the post, but that didn't stop fans from weighing in on her birthday tribute to Bob which has left some people sickened. "56 Hope Road was the home of his wife," one person pointed out. "What a classless woman. Truly sick stomach."
Another critic similarly noted, "She said that she spent time with him at 56 hope road, that's his marital home. She was being messy." A third added, "It is disrespectful because Rita Marley, Bob Marley's wife, is still alive."
Others thought that Bob should also be blamed for their affair, with one demanding, "When does Bob get some of the accountability?..Im sure she didnt trespass into 56 Hope Road." Another remarked, "Don't blame her for sharing her truth Blame Bob!" Someone argued, "Why is she the issue? Blame that man! It's her story, she has every right to share it and from it came Damian."
There were also people who claimed that Bob and Rita had an open marriage and his relationships with his side chicks didn't come as a surprise to Rita. "How many times does his wife have to tell u they had an open relationship? His wife also slept with other men and had a child during their marriage. Clearly she loved her life," one person said.
Similarly, someone else responded to the backlash, "it is not disrespectful. Rita had two children that are not by Bob while they were married. You don't know what they had going on ."
Bob shared a child, 45-year-old DJ/singer/rapper Damian Marley, with Cindy. He had three biological children with Rita and adopted her two other children from her previous relationships. Bob's official website acknowledges his 11 children in total, including five others whom he had with five different baby mamas.
