I'm a white guy with black friends. It may be offensive to say that, but I think people say it to relate that I'm not some white person who's had little contact with black people, but have had actual real long-term friendships,

This producer apparently was your typical corporate douchebag, like every industry. It is amazing that some people in showbiz don't know what talent means, and think they are above talent. This comes from classic performer/writer/director conflicts and all are essential.

Even towards the end, Mr. Foxx NEVER got the respect he was entitled to. even in death. Redd was right up there along with Bob Hope, Milton Berle, and George Burns. those porducers had to be white. when you're a black entertainer most times you get the short end of it cuz of lack of respect and bein treated like their white counterparts. sad but true.

@ghanasoul  Sad!

[SgtToughLove]

[mcfrdmn]

Interesting interview!

[Rodney21a]

I find it hard to believe he didn't lean on eddie to throw that producer off the show. Pride is a motherfucker

[depletable]

Anyone know what show she's talking about?

[Lurker1979]

@depletable The Royal Family,

[musicom67]

Executive producer(s): Eddie Murphy, Mark McClafferty and Greg Antonacci

Producer(s): David Garber, Shelley Jensen, Deborah Leschin, Leslie Ray and David Steven Simon.

Della Reese and Redd Foxx are legends. There should have been no reason why Redd Foxx was going to be viewed as a minor character on the show- he brought alot of views and alot of laughs to the show, The Royal Family. I wish Norman Lear produced and created the show, he would have NEVER allowed his cast members to be treated like shit. I know cause I have met people whom worked for Norman Lear ex. Bern Nadette Stanis (Thelma on Good Times) and they all love and adore Norman.

[bashbrannigan]

I wish she'd named the producer.

[SEFYH]

Well, I guess my FIRST comment sounded little too ETHNIC for the people that run THIS channel, so I'll try it again...Thanks for a WONDERFUL interview Ms. Reese. Rest in peace Redd Foxx.

ATTN: TVLEGENDS, If you're allowing comments to be posted on your channel, then at least show them. I know for a FACT my first comment wasn't disrespectful in any way, yet you deleted it and allowed the one below mine to go thru. THAT'S why you have such WEAK viewer numbers. So have fun deleting this one!

[cableguyxx9898xx]

That's a terrible heartless thing to do but that goes to show how some people will do and act in the TV industry. Redd we love ya'.

[kzolly]

Thank you Ms. Reese for sharing this story. The lack of respect demonstrated by those producers is disgusting! Rest in peace Mr. Foxx.
