Official statement from Omarion: ‘Raz B is lying’

Photo: Wireimage/Getty

Omarion has released a statement calling former band member Raz B a liar. Of course you will believe what you want to but I choose to believe Omarion.

There is no evidence to support the allegations made by Raz B – a man who has made outlandish allegations in the past.

It’s amazing to me that the same people who are calling for Chris Stoke‘s head will run to buy a concert ticket to see R. Kelly who video taped his criminal acts upon a minor.

The official statement from Omarion’s publicist 5WPR:

Below please find a statement from Omarion regarding the accusations against Chris Stokes made by Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton.”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. (Source: PR Newswire)

One problem with this statement is he claims to know that Raz B is lying. How could he possibly know that? I think he knows just the opposite and as a current client of Chris Stokes and Marques Houston he is trying to do damage control. Was Quindon lying when he testified at church? And also can someone please tell me how those B2K dudes didn’t make any money? Well no one but Omarion.

Omarion should cut ties with his molester while he still has a chance. Chris is ruined.

Something about Chris makes my skin crawl – it alwasy has.

It’s amazing to me that the same people who are calling for Chris Stoke’s head will run to buy a concert ticket to see R. Kelly who video taped his criminal acts upon a minor.

First off, the same people calling for Chris Stoke’s head will run and buy tickets to see R.Kelly? Woah honey, I don’t believe Chris Stokes and I don’t like R.Kelly neither so don’t try to put people in that catergory. And I don’t believe Omarion because he denied the allegations that Chris Stokes didn’t pay the group from the get go and if you have 3 members jumping ship, but 1 stays, and its the 1 who wasn’t an original member of B2k to begin with, and he’s the one who gets the solo career, of course you’ll stand by your management to protect your career. Before they were b2k, they were a 3 member band, and Raz B was the lead singer, Chris Stokes brought in Omarion and made him the lead singer, Ofcourse Omarion isn’t going to jeopardize his career especially seeing the fact that his sophomore album didn’t sell and his decision to team up with Bow Wow isn’t making him multi-millions. When b2k first broke up everyone knew that Omarion was being brainwashed because it doesn’t add up for 3 men to have the same allegations and for 1 person to disagree, but this person is disagreeing because he’s getting benefits.
luxe.li.

All Chris’ lies are coming out, because there is no way Omarion has been around Chris Stokes since 5, especially the way Chris wanted B2k to tell their stories of coming up and meeting each other. And I have that Omarion book that he released after B2k broke up and it doesn’t mention a thing about him being around Chris Stokes at the age of 5. Just like its a big lie that Omarion and Marques Houston are brothers, I believe all these lies are going to come out an expose themselves.
honeybee

Girl, please he’s probably sleeping with him to.. You don’t know shit. I just laugh I can’t wait for the real to come out. I am pissed off to.. This man has money and taking advantage of young children. Sandra trust me you need help get your sources together first. Ugh! just remember young children are impressionable. He had Omarion, Marques Houston when they where young. I’m sure they are brain washed. I’m so glad that Raz B let the world know. You say what you got to say sweetie. This stuff is for real and you are really trying to make it seem like Raz b is lying Not…
honeybee

I hope they all take a lie detector test. i bet that will make everybody go mph! please. Omarion still trying to get paid trust and beleive cause I know his peeps..ah! ha!
Caramel

I don’t believe Omarion. He would never want to admit that he was felt up by a man. His career now is based off of sex appeal and he knows that the truth would not be a good look.
Ms. Lady

Chris is his MANAGER…DUH of course he would say he’s lying.
FlyGemini

Why is Sandra Rose the only person (out of ALL the blogs and comments I’ve read on this story) that thinks dude is lying? See one thing I like about the other black gossip blogs is that the blogger usually remains neutral with their opinions. We don’t come here to see what the blogger “thinks”, in the future I think she should keep it to herself. And what was with the R. Kelly comment? How the HELL can what R. Kelly did even come close to these allegations? YEARS of sexual abuse to all those boys? Are Chris’ people paying her?
shhhh

Omarion shut yo lying lost a** up! You act like people can’t see that you have been tampered with. Only reason Omarion lying, because he know this could ruin his career (even though it shouldn’t.) Omarion if you don’t want to say it happen to you THEN DON’T. But don’t just call this man a lie, you don’t know what went on between them.

PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY ARE JUST SICK!

Sandra why is this so far fetched for you that you will not believe Raz but as soon as Omarion says its not true or even Chris Stokes himself you automatically believe them. Do you have a VIP pass to all of Chris Stokes parties or something. I can’t see the financial gain that Raz will get from this other than having people like you critcize and label him gay. It’s not easy to make an accusation like that and this is not the first time he hinted toward it. The following was taking from Bossip which is a direct quote from Raz B.

Raz-B’s allegation of child molestation doesn’t seem far-fetched. In an October 2006 interview, he stated:

“I am hosting a benefit concert at the Apollo Theater in October. It’s to raise money for the Crystal Life Youth Academy, which is for special children who have been molested and abused and been in foster homes and things like that. My goal is to speak for the children who can’t speak for themselves. There was a time in my life when I was a special child. Kids are our future and there are a lot of kids out there who are being misled.”

Raz has a special place in his heart for victims of child molestation. We wonder why.

Sandra we all know why, we are waiting for you to catch up.

Peace

FlyGemini I feel the same way Sandra must know them personally, to quick to take sides. Sandra stay out of it and stick to tracking down juicy gossip(LOL) and let the bloggers cause the confusion and disharmony on your site.

LOL at Omarion saying it’s time for him to speak up when (just a little while back) Bow-Wow had to speak for him!

I agree with those of you who say he’s covering up.

If Rass B were going to lie, he could have lied about several things, why choose such a degrading act against himself?

This is why more kids don’t come forward….
buttercup24

I honestly don’t get why Omarion’s opinion holds more weight than Raz B’s. I’m guessing it is because Omarion is still relevant and not a has been (which is an opinion because he’s never been relevant IMo). He is sticking up for his manager and saving his own skin. He doesn’t want his spot blown up by people checking into what seems to be a quirky relationship with his uncle.

I know none of these people personally but I’m leaning more towards Raz B. He’s a man and what man wants to start parading around the fact that he was molested. Especially in a society like ours where a man’s masculinity is always questioned.

Can we also keep in mind the pics of Imx and B2k in there underwear? Where was management at when those pics came out? I find something shady about Chris and I’m sure this isn’t the end of this matter by far.

Bsoul said: “This is why more kids don’t come forward.”

Precisely. This is one issue that will come to light. Hell, Chris even said, “I don’t do that anymore.”
peachyfuture

I found this interview that Raz B did at least 1-2 years ago (maybe more) where he admits that he was molested (did not mention names) and how he is a spokesman for an organization that dedicated to helping molested children. Very interesting just go listen to the clip titles “Interview with Raz B, aka Tashi”. Don’t be alarmed, the clips on this page are from Noah’s Arc, MTV’s LOGO networks series that has since been canceled. He talks about why he decided to act in the gay series. What do you think about that Sandra? Why now? Apparently he spoke about this in the past but he is now telling his full story.

I agree with Sandra that too many people are now questioning Chris Stokes but are the first ones to buy an R Kelly CD or whatever. I do though think that Raz B wouldn’t be making this up for no reason. There HAS to be some sort of truth to his story. He’s basically putting him self out there maybe Chris not supporting him anymore made him tell his whole story now.
http://www.myspace.com/bettathaniwasb4 2bme

I believe Raz b..I looked at some of the videos and movies that they are/were in and Chris has his hands in everything! He even has his family members listed as producers and coproducers and it’s unnerving for someone to have that much power over them like this..no wonder they are denying everything..it’s not like they have a choice..they don’t comply they don’t eat.
http://www.myspace.com/bettathaniwasb4 2bme

Aslo from my understanding JBoog is the cousin to marques..Omarion is not related..JBoog can also sing better, dance better and looks better which was evident in the bump bump bump song that was done..if you notice as soon as another member got his shine talks began of the group breaking up..i’m done with Omarion’s pop locking baby hair ass and Marques i wanna be like Usher ass(check the concert footage)..this will never be settled because the ones that have been violated will never speak about it..I wouldn’t be surprised if the familes were paid off behind this..we need more than Raz’s testimony..which we will simply not get
Lou_Brock

It looks like the vast majority of us believe Raz B…

Sandra, what do you mean he has made outlandish allegations in the past? What allegations? Who has deemed them to be outlandish???

It’s your site and I love you regardless… But it sure looks like you’re on Omarion or the alleged pedophile’s payroll. I’m not saying that you are, I’m just saying how it looks.
luxe.li.

Im just trying to figure out since when did Omarion know Chris sine 5, cause when B2k first came out thats not the story they were telling all the kiddy fans…..switching up.
luxe.li.

Omarion better back up or he’ll get dragged down in this mess with Chris, and then Bow Wow will surely lose his mind cause we all know his career is deteriorating.
shhhh

I think EVERYBODY NEEDS to go to JBOOG myspace page and watch the serious of videos where Razz, Jboog, and Lil Fizz discuss the break up of this group. I’ve only watched the first two of the series and this guy Chris Stokes is a mess. I just can’t believe this sh*t.

Also, I finding a lot of contradictions to a lot of stuff too.

So sandra, u believe omarion because he’s a somebody and raz b is now a nobody? because it just seems like u picked a side w/ alot of reasoning.

moving along….

really, what did you expect omarion to say. thats his manager. And i was one of the b2k lovers when they were hot, and the whole he’s known him since was 5 thing is really eye raisin…that wasn’t da story they was tellin when the group was intact. And chris always seemed like a control freak, even as a fan i notice it. And we all know omarion did not write that statement, so whatever.

The truth will come out eventually. It may be years. Might see one of them on 20/20 or 60 minutes in a few years.
shhhh

I just finish watching all the videos. That dude Chris is crazy. Since this story has broke, I’ve been reading a lot about this Chris Stoke and people keep saying he’s a control freak. In the video they was like that Chris would tell them

“I’ll start a new B2K”

“There wouldn’t be no B2K if it wasn’t for me”

“I’m a genius when it comes to black boy groups”

…lol… That guys is nuts. It’s one thing to think those things, but to say it whole make him very special.

I can’t sit here and say with 100% he molest them. But from what I’ve heard about him and looking at his picture if I was on the jury he would be found guilty. And for the sake of Raz B and his brother I hope they’re telling the truth.
bay prince

i guess T.U.G stands for TURN U Gay!!!LOL
BaBiEDoLL

Again Ill Post This Until Sandra Answers Me… I Also Think Ur Siding With Omarion Because He Is More Of An “A-Lister” And Raz Is Not Even A “D-Lister”.

I Posted This In Another Thread But I Really Want Sandra To Respond to This!!

Who Cares If Its About Revenge If The Bullshit Happened? REGARDLESS Of The Reasoning Behide Telling It Still Needed To Be Told. I Just Cant Believe Some Of This Sh*t Sandra Writes. I Do Love Her Site Because Everybody IS Entitled To Their Opinion. Sandra Muhfukkin Ass Have Heart Attacks When Beyonce Weave aint right or her “hips” aint there. Here Go A Very Serious Issue and It’s Like oh “He’s Not Even A D-lister”. WTF Cares??? HE WAS MOLESTED SANDRA!!!! Yea Sometime People Make Up Lies Just To Get Paid But Damn To Go On YouTube With It And Knowing Millions Of People Will Watch U Say U Got YOur Asshole Played with and your Balls, Now You Got People Looking At You Like U Just Might Be A Fag, Who Would Want That???

I Have So Many Friends That Have Been Molested That Has Never Told Anyone But A few People And Not Until They Were Grown. You Know I Asked My Best Friend, Why Tell It Now? My Bestfriend Got Molested From The Time She Was 7 Up Till She Was 14. Hell She Thought That Wouldnt Anybody Believe Her So She Didnt Tell IT. When She Did Thats Exactly What Happened, Everybody was “Oh Ur Lying…Why U Wait SO Long TO Tell IT”? Sandra U Know What, She Didnt Even Have The Limelight And Cash Being Tossed Around In Her Face To Cover Up That Fact That It Happened, SO can U Explain To Me Why U THink She Waited SO Long Sandra?? Since Its A TIme Limit On Tellin The Truth!!!!!
shhhh

Well everybody we all need to LET THIS SH*T GO!!! Raz B has officially recanted his alegations. Bossip has posted a video where he is no saying it was lie and the videos were released “WITH OUT” his permission.

I officially hate that little big lip boy now. I hope he commits sucide!
buttercup24

I saw that Bossip posted that but I still don’t believe it. I’ll believe Raz B is lying when I find out how much Chris Stokes paid to get him to recant his statement.

I don’t believe the new Raz B video and neither does he. He can’t even look at the camera. Furthermore he is still approving comments on his MySapce page where people are saying they don’t believe the new video. I think he was paid to say that and I bet he was not paid much. They need to sue Chris for the money he owes them legally instead of taking hush money from him. He needs to be stopped for the sake of his male children if nothing else.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

@ Bird:

He can’t look at the camera because he’s ashamed and embarrassed. Hopefully Chris will sue him and he’ll learn something from this mess.
FlyGemini

Like someone said earlier, if he was doing this for personal gain, why the HELL would he choose to lie about something that’s embarrassing to him? That’s crazy.

But the good thing is that Raz B changing his story ain’t fooling nobody. It’s already out threre.
mrsdawn

Sandra,
I have to agree w/ the R.Kelly comparison. A radio station here in VABch was commenting on the justice w/ R.Kelly.
They were saying how Mike Vick was arrested, tried and jailed in the same year for the dog fighting and how R.Kelly has yet to stand trial for you know what! I guess
it means you can record nasty sex w/ an underage female,
but can’t finance a dog fighting operation ! I know one thing has nothing to do with the other, but it does seem odd that R. Kelly keeps sliding through the cracks.
