Teddy Riley did a prior interview where he revealed some very interesting secrets not just about his friend, Michael Jackson, but about a popular actress he dated on the low. This actress was who Teddy wrote some of MJ’s biggest “Dangerous” album hits about and she inspired those timeless Guy love songs as well. See who…

MJ’S LOVE SONGS WAS ABOUT THE ACTRESS TEDDY WAS IN LOVE WITH

We would have never put these two together, because they were never seen in public together, but check out who the actress is behind some of our favorite 90s love songs…

Teddy revealed that actress/director, Salli Richardson (best known for the 90’s film, “Low Down Dirty Shame” starring Keenan Ivory Wayans and Jada Pinkett-Smith)) is the woman he was head over hills in love with back in the day and that she was the inspiration for many hits. They dated for about one year (in the early 90’s) and remained friends for a while after that.

During a 2016 interview, when Teddy was asked if any of his “Dangerous” album songs were about Salli, he replied:

“Are you kidding? ‘Do You Remember the time when we fell in love,’ ‘I Can’t Let Her Get Away,’ ‘She Drives Me Wild’…do you see how I’m cutting you off?!! SHE was my INSPIRATION!”

Salli was in the studio with Teddy everyday as he wrote and produced MJ’s records. Teddy said everything he was saying in those records, he was saying about her because that’s how he felt about her then. In another interview, he also said that “Let’s Chill” and several other Guy love songs at that time were all about Salli. Damn Salli had Teddy wide open, LOL! Check out the video below, he starts talking about Salli at the 6 minute mark…

On Jamie Foxx’s ‘The Foxxhole’ Sirius XM radio show, Jamie asked Teddy ‘If he’d ever taken any other celebrity’s woman’ Teddy then revealed he how he actually stole Salli so to speak…

Teddy went into detail on Jamie Foxx’s show about the day he first met Salli Richardson at a club and stole her from Jermaine Jackson! Ain’t that something? Obviously the fact that Teddy took his big brother’s woman didn’t bother MJ, because soon afterwards he called Teddy to work on that “Dangerous” album. And the rest is history. You gotta hear Teddy tell Jamie the story in the video below though, it’s hilarious (starts around the 1:00 mark)…

During that time when Teddy and MJ were working on the “Dangerous” album, Teddy lived at MJ’s home, but wait ’til you see some of the interesting things he revealed about his friend, MJ>>>

TEDDY TELLS LITTLE KNOWN SECRETS ABOUT HIS FRIEND, MJ

Teddy revealed a few interesting things about Michael Jackson:

“I stayed with Mike. We ate pot pies and Kentucky Fried Chicken together.”

“The best way he could describe MJ was that “he’s like a homie in the house” really regular and down to earth.”

Teddy said his only regret is that he chose not to take a lot of pics with MJ because he never wanted to invade his space.

He went on to explain how MJ loved heat, literally and how they formed a close brotherhood type of bond during the time they worked on the album:

“Michael would always call me in his hot a$$ room, because he LOVED heat. He didn’t like the sun because of his skin, but he loved is room so warm, like you couldn’t breathe, like you just breathing hot air. And he has the heater on the other side and then a heater in front of him, and then a humidifier because he loves stem, it moistens his voice” (which is what many singers are known to do).

Teddy: MJ was a “very warm hearted dude and when you’re behind closed doors with him, he talks about things that you would never expect him to talk about….about his youth life, his life with the little [amount of] friends that he had.”

We, Old Schoolers, mostly remember actor, Dondre Whitfield, as “Vanessa Huxtable’s” boyfriend, “Robert,” on “The Cosby Show”, but he’s now had plenty more memorable roles since then, with his most recent ones being in the popular drama series, “Queen Sugar,” on Oprah’s OWN network called “Queen Sugar;” and previously on BET’s prior comedy series, “Real Husbands of Hollywood,” starring Kevin Hart. So now that the brotha is a 51 year old man with a long list of acting credits, let’s all try to refer to him as Dondre – and not “Robert” – for a change (I joke, I joke…I kid, I kid).

Anywho, Dondre and actress-director, Salli Richardson, 53, (best known for her role in “Low Down Dirty Shame”), have been happily married for 19 years, and have two adorable children who look like  Salli/Dondre mini-me’s. Check them out below…

MEET DONDRE’S & SALLI’S SON AND DAUGHTER

Salli shared the below photo of herself with she and Dondre’s 16 year old daughter, Parker Whitfield, on National Daughter Day, captioning it with:

“The love of my life #nationaldaughterday [Parker Whitfield] you make me proud.”

Parker was also a kid model in 2013, when she modeled for Nordstrom’s Mia Chica kid’s clothing line.

Salli and Dondre’s son, Dre Whitfield,  celebrated his 12th birthday on January 25, 2021. Since Salli was away working that day, she made sure she was still there in spirit. The actress shared the following photo online of her family celebrating, as she had her proud-mommy moment virtually.

Here’s what Salli wrote about having to celebrate their son’s 12th b-day virtually day:

“Thank God for technology. I’m like a mom from the future who is an AI. I couldn’t be at my baby’s 12th birthday in the flesh but we figured something out. I’m the computer on the bottom. Lol I can’t tell you how much I love this boy. Both of these children fill me with overwhelming pride. #workingmom #womandirector #familyfirst”

And as you can see, Dre likes chillin’ in Central Park with his Pops…

Happily In Love…And ‘Like’

We old schoolers remember Dondre Whitfield as “Vanessa Huxtable’s” boyfriend, “Robert,” on “The Cosby Show”, but this man has had plenty more memorable roles since then, with his most recent ones being in a new drama series on Oprah’s OWN network called “Queen Sugar” and on BET’s comedy, “Real Husbands of Hollywood.” So now that the brotha’s a 49 year old man with a long list of acting credits, let’s all try to refer to him as Dondre and not “Robert” for once, LOL. Here’s the thing that we wanted to share with y’all about Dondre though- he and actress, Salli Richardson, 50 (best known for her role in “Low Down Dirty Shame”), have been happily married for 16 years and have two very adorable children who look like little Salli/Dondre mini-me’s. Check them out below…

WHAT DONDRE WHITFIELD AND SALLI RICHARDSON ARE DOING NOW

Before we show you their kids, we have to fill y’all in on what the couple is doing these days. Dondre is currently starring on the OWN Network show, “Queen Sugar.” And get this, Salli is not acting in it, but she IS directing it! That’s cool isn’t it? Okay now wait ’til you see Dondre’s and Salli’s adorable mini-me’s>>>

DONDRE’S & SALLI’S SON AND DAUGHTER

Meet Dondre’s and Salli’s 13 year old daughter, Parker, and their 9 year old son, Dre…

Parker is also a little model, in 2013 she modeled for Nordstrom’s Mia Chica kid’s clothing line.

And as you can see, Dre likes chillin’ at games with his Pops…

Parker and Dre are clearly the loves of their parents’ lives and just like their pops’ former TV show, they are fortunate to be growing up in a household with two parents who not only love each other, but actually LIKE each other a lot too, LOL, just like “Heathcliff” and “Claire” did on “The Cosby Show.” C’mon now Old Schoolers, we all know there’s a big difference between loving the one you’re with vs. loving AND liking the one you’re with. We’ve been around the block enough to know that sometimes we can love our partners, but they work on our last damn nerve all the time, LOL. Dondre and Salli don’t seem to have that problem though and they often post lovey dovey pics and videos on social media about each other to prove it.
