Fred Berry came to my highschool my senior year in 1995/96. At that point he was a minister. He spoke a positive message but since it was a public school he couldn't talk about the religious aspect of his message but was still a great motivational speech.

I met Fred "Rerun" Berry in Walmart in Albany back in 2000. He was a really nice man. I got an Autograph from him. I told him that my family and I never missed an episode. Of What's Happening and What's Happening Now. I really glad I met him before his passing. CONTINUE TO RIP😢 RERUN.

When you are on the Entertainment system industry or any field of employment. You have to dictate your worth. Do you think Denzel got where he is by lacking Self Worth. That is a Bold comment. I commend him for fighting for what he believed. The other claims by his wife or wives. His Abusive nature was uncalled for. However, it wasn't violence directed towards the Wives. He was Bitter with himself . He felt he should have been more than he was. I get that... I walked in similar shoes 👟. People don't just blurt out things to be heard. Think about a Situation, listen and observe, there are clues to how a person is feeling and Living in their actions... That is all I have to say. .God Bless You All.

If you look at a show like Jersey Shore today which is garbage, the breakout character is Snooki. As talentless and useless as she is, she spoke up and got a raise as well as the cast also. So as far as I'm concerned, Fred had every right to speak up.
