On December 24, 2007 Raz B, whose real name De'Mario Monte Thornton and is a former member of the well-chiseled boy band B2K, posted a flaming and damning set of videos on YouTube against former manager Chris Stokes. Well, really, there was one big j'accuse: According to Raz B, Stokes "forced the boys of B2K into orgies with managers, agents, friends and each other," a practice that apparently went on until the group disbanded. Marques Houston of the boy band Immature, also known as IMX, was also implicated as being invloved. Raz B claims to have been 11 or 12 years old at the time. He also claims to have been forced to take what may have been sexually charged showers with the other band members.

Raz B's biological brother, Ricky Romance, also filmed himself speaking out in Part 2 of the videos. Chris Stokes is also the cousin of both Ricky Romance and RazB. Ricky visibly shows shame and admits he knew about Stokes' perversions but did nothing to protect his little brother (Raz B) from them. Omarion was supposedly abused as well but there has been no official word from Omarion.

Here's a few notable quotes from the videos:

Quote From Ricky Romance:

"Chris [Stokes] made me take showers with the other boys .... All the [things] that my brother was introduced to, that shit was brought to me first. I blocked that shit and I wasn't with it - I backed out ... I kinda knew what was going on there. And yet, I took my brother [Raz B] over to Chris, and I didn't protect him like I should have." "[Chris Stokes] molested my brother [Raz B] and he molested me ... when I say that, it hurts."

Quote from Chris Stokes while on the phone with Ricky Romance:

"I don't do that anymore, That was me years ago ... I just don't do that in my life anymore."

Chris also issued a public statement stating that claims of sexual abuse were false and motivated by money.

“The accusations that Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton have made are vehemently false and hold no merit. I have recently stopped financially supporting both individuals along with assisting them with their criminal and legal matters which leads me to believe they are resentful and looking to benefit financially from this. My family is my first priority and the reason why I have been so supportive of them. In bringing these false claims, they have not only slandered me, they have also put me in a position to ensure that the truth is known and I will take all legal routes to protect myself, my family and my four children.

It’s also quite ironic that these statements were made only 2 weeks after they were denied admittance by a venue for an event I hosted in Beverly Hills." says Stokes.

Stokes says he plans to pursue all legal ways of protecting his family.

Family members molesting other family members is pretty disturbing. I'll do my best to keep this article up to date and accurate. -mike

Here's a Video Summary (the videos are posted below):

In the first Video:

Raz-B is talking to Marques's sister about how he didn't like being in the orgies. And that if they kept going on, someone liked watching them all have sexual with each other or with everyone. Raz B talks about how he didn't like it and how his phsyically hurt afterward. He was also said that he would never lie about a thing like this or make such a thing up.
In the second video:
- Raz B says, "i moved to this house when i was 13 years old. *** ass ??? when i was 14 years old other perverted, misleading, molestation type of shit happened in this motherfucking house." in the video, he's pointing to a building. i guess to where it all happened.

In the Third Video:
'Settle the Score' Ray JFt. Shorty Mac & Max Lux. Ray J disses the entire band and it's management. Even accuses them of being gay. Of course it's a diss but Ray J claims to have heard damning details from women. No idea what started this beef.

Scroll down to see video of Raz B apologizing for the public viewing of the video he made.

This is the most disgusting thing I've ever heard of. And it's the most shameful thread I've ever posted. If all of those accusations really didn't happen then how did they get Marques Houston's sister on the phone. Was that her? Was that really Chris Stokes on the phone as well?

In this forum alone in, less then 24 hours after posting I had over 1500 views and countless links back to this site. Not only has Raz-B and his brother made liars out of themselves but they have also involuntarily made liars out of this forum and countless others...

Raz-B, don't expect me to buy your albulm. Matter of fact, I'll turn off the radio when I hear the 'free' play. Well if I ever hear it. We only like trendy music in Atlanta.

I want to be clear on this too. If those accusations really did happened and Raz-B is lying about it now he would have just let all sexual abuse victims everywhere down hugely. Some might never speak up. Some might continue to be abused.

It's good that Raz-B manned up. I'd still like to hear from Ricky Romance directly.

Omarions also issued calling the allegations lies.

Millions of people backed him cause of that tape. I personally feel betrayed. Rumors and gossip isn't a cool thing. I was fooled too.

Reminds of the Neyo gossip from a few summers back. I'm actually not even going to post on this event anymore. FYI, though. The Life after B2K Reality Show may be canceled. -Mike

Raz-B Retracts Abuse Allegations Against Former B2K Manager In New Video

'I apologize for any hurt this may have caused publicly [or] financially,' singer says.

By Gil Kaufman

A day after former B2K manager Chris Stokes vehemently denied allegations that he sexually molested former members of the boy band while serving as their manager, his accuser, former B2K member DeMario "Raz-B" Thornton, has apologized. In a 30-second video posted on YouTube on Wednesday, Thornton stands outside on a city street and recants the sordid accusations he and older brother Ricardo "Ricky Romantic" Thornton had made in a pair of videos that circulated over the weekend.

"This is DeMario Thornton, publicly known as Raz-B of B2K," a solemn-looking Thornton tells the camera in the video, called "The Truth About Chris Stokes B2K Part 3." "I would like to send a public apology for some tapes that were leaked without my authority. I just want to say that those allegations are not true ... with Chris Stokes and Marques Houston, and I apologize for any hurt this may have caused publicly [or] financially."

Stokes reacted to the new video in a statement released Thursday (December 27) morning. "I'm happy that DeMario 'Raz-B' Thornton and Ricardo Thornton realized their mistakes and admitted to lying," he said. "I have always supported my family and have always been a stand-up person. I knew that the truth would eventually come to light."

Thornton's abrupt turn-around came just hours after Stokes told MTV News that the allegations were false. His denials were seconded by another former B2K member, Omarion.

"I'm not gay. And I'm married. And I have four kids. I been with my wife for 16 years," Stokes told MTV in an exclusive interview. "And I'm not a child molester. So those are all false allegations. I'm gonna sue them. And I owe that to my wife and kids, period. It's ridiculous."

Omarion released this statement on December 26, 2007 via press release.

"I want to be on the record as saying that 'Raz-B' Thornton and Ricardo Thornton are lying regarding Chris Stokes," Omarion said. "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 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. I have grown up around Chris, and this is crazy to me. These people have damaged me and my reputation. I won't stand silent and will do all within my means to speak the truth about this matter."

Chris stokes also claims to have suported De'Mario (Raz B) finnacially over the years becuase he was family.

"He's my cousin," Stokes explained. "My mother's brother's daughter's son" — he still assisted Thornton and his brother after the B2K split, through financial support. He also claims he had to post bail for Raz-B as recently as two months ago.

Stokes revealed to MTV News that he, along with Marques Houston's family members, will be filing police reports on the grounds that Thornton taped their phone calls without receiving their permission first. In the state of California, it is against the law to record a confidential telephone conversation without all parties having knowledge of the action.
Stokes hinted his reason for cutting off the two financially had to do with increased monetary demands from Thornton and his brother.

"You have to understand, since B2K broke up, they've done nothing, and they really had no money other than the financial support I gave them," Stokes said. "And so now, as you seen on the videos, if you did watch them, he's saying his brother is ready to commit suicide. So at this point, they felt they could just do whatever they feel it would take to get the money."

There are some that say he was forced to record his retration. On Raz B's wikipedia page his brother Ricardo Thorton (Ricky Romance) says that his brother De'Mario (Raz B) is missing. He also says he is standing by his statement and that he believe his brother, Raz B, will eventually come to his senses.

Readers should note that the B2K reality show that was set to start filming may be canceled... That may be another reason for the retraction.

MTV is quickly becoming the authority on this subject as it seems that B2k are communicating to the public through press releases sent directly to MTV.

Many Californian's are concerned regardless of Raz B's retraction becuase there have been rumors centered around Chris Stokes for years.
