I asked her to tell me about Acetaminophen some.  She told us that he was a great child up until he was about 10.  "Once he hit 10, he told me that he felt like a girl and not a boy.  I didn't say anything, just thought about it."  said Maggie.  "He started acting kind of weird around the age of 11, he began trying to fit into my neice's, Katie who was 4 at the time, clothes.  I kept the two separated for a while...but then he started going through and putting on MY clothes, it was tragic."   After 3 years of this I couldn't take it anymore and I started doing dope, in fact, I smoked a joint 10 minutes before you got to my doorstep," she told me.

 

Mrs. Ringgold continued, " When Bobby was around the age of 16 he told me that he was gay.  At first, I thought it was a phase, but when I realized he still was wearing women's clothing I accepted it. It was glad, I finally had a reason for why he was so infatuated with high heels and panty-hose."

 

I moved on to my next question...I had heard more than I wanted about Acetaminophen's past.  I told Mrs. Ringgold that her son had been caught smoking crack outside of Club Culture before he had gone and given that really bad performance.  She said with confidence, "my son has NEVER done drugs of any type and he never will."  Right about that time, Bobby Ritchie walked in the front door with a big bag of crack.  He went straight to the kitchen and began to smoke it.  Ringgold screamed back at him, "Take that f***ing s**t out of your mouth for a minute and rolling me a damn joint!!!"  Then she looked back at me and with a smile said, "as I was saying earlier, my son doesn't do drugs, he wouldn't do drugs its wouldn't be his nature."  I then said, "but Maggie he just walked in a started smoking coke."  She then just started going..."uh-uh-no-No-NO!"  I decided to drop the subject and go on to something else.

 

Rumors have also circled, I told her, that your son robs people of their money, especially in the dressing room at Club Culture.  She told me, "Bobby wouldn't steal from anyone except me, right Bobby???"  Bobby paused for a few seconds and then said "um...I don't steal from you or anyone else, mum"  She then yells at him, "BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN I CAUGHT YOU LAST WEEK KLEPTING $50 OUT OF MY F***ING PURSE?!!"  He was unresponsive and went into his room to make a phone call to Babie Rooth Coleman. 

 

I decided it was time to get out of this house and away from this woman and her klepto son.  I was afraid if I didn't leave that I may have something stolen from me.  However, before I left I asked Maggie Ringgold if I could have a picture of her 19 years ago, a year after Bobby was born, and a recent photo.  She did comply with my requests.  The pictures printed here.  What is next for this terrible performer.  How will his mother survive much longer in this environment?  I don't know, we'll just have to wait and find out.
