Deidre Jenkins’ Failed Married Life

Deidre Jenkins was married to the late music legend James Brown. She did, however, divorce her ex-husband and is now a widow. James Brown, her ex-husband, died of heart failure at the age of 73. Traces of cocaine were discovered in Brown’s urine when he was brought to Emory University Hospital in December 2006. Deidre only married once, while her ex-husband married four times.

James and Deidre exchanged vows on October 22, 1970. Deidre and James’s two daughters are Deanna Brown Thomas  (age 53 years) and Yamma Noyola Brown Lumar (age 50 years).

James Brown’s daughter Deidra also said that he never laid hands on them, but she recalls believing that a beating was less painful than the sound of her mother being a punching bag. Deidra’s last straw came when Yamma and her older sister saw a tragic defeat. In Yamma’s story, she recalls asking her mother about the beatings, and Deidra confessed to leaving her husband during those times.

Deidre Jenkins’ Net Worth and Career

Due to her low-key lifestyle, Deidre Jenkins’ net worth is still unknown. We don’t know where she receives her money because we don’t know anything about her job. Her fortune could be worth a million dollars. Jenkins may potentially get money or property as alimony from her subsequent ex-spouse during their divorce settlement. Her ex-husband, James Brown was an American musician who had a net worth of $100 million during his death time.

Deidre has always wanted to keep her personal information private. Rather than focusing on her career, Deidre concentrated on propelling her ex-husband to the pinnacle of achievement. This can be one of the reasons she decided to stay at home rather than establish her own business. Jenkins is most likely living the high life right now.
