Yeah....he should have stayed out of that one.
The first, and only clue should have been that he got full custody of the kids. In the U.S., that doesn't happen unless the mother is crazy and/or abusive.

Wow, that was a really low blow. What a fucking asshole.
If Poison were a halfway decent band, I'd be saying "YOU JUST LOST YOURSELF A CUSTOMER, PAL"
I guess when you're in Poison you don't get the opportunity to punch down very often, so enjoy it I guess.

I got full custody of my son in 2006. He was 6 yrs old.Wednesday 13 Fan wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 10:59 am Yeah....he should have stayed out of that one.

He called me one night crying and said he was hiding in a closet because his mom and stepdad were fighting (again) and the police were on their way.
The next day I went to the local police dept and got 12 domestic violence calls from their address.
A month later I got custody.
My ex played victim , as usual.
You should’ve seen her face (and her mothers) when my lawyer brought out the 12 documented domestic calls.
On top of that, his teacher was getting married and took individual pics of her students. They then individually put a quote on their pictures.
My sons said “don’t let your husband hit you”.
That was a shocker when he brought that out too.
So glad, I got custody at a pretty early age and he didn’t have to live with that shit any longer.
He is now 23 and lives in Salem, Oregon and is in a healthy relationship.
He has thanked myself and his stepmother many times throughout the years for us getting him away from that.
His stepmother and I have had maybe 5 arguments in 20+ yrs.

She’s 5’3” and her 6’2” husband used to beat the shit out of her.
My ex wife was constantly arguing with me and actually punched me square in the mouth.
Life’s too short to live like that.

Rockett is now replying to everyone on the FB thread... including me.
But... oddly, has avoided answering or replying to Gillette.

Re: POISON Vs: NITRO / ROUND 1 ... Rikki Rockett throws shade at Jim Gillette with Lita Ford comment.
Gillette just shot Rikki an official challenge....
----------------------
Rikki Rockett
Apparently you don’t know the first thing about Jiu Jitsu. You were nothing more than a bully when you challenged Joe Elliot to fight. Joe was untrained and it’s embarrassing that a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner would bully someone that isn’t capable of defending himself. I wonder if you will be able to find your balls when the other guy IS trained….
Find your balls Rikki. Let’s give some $ to charity. Or did your mouth write a check that your ass can’t cash?

Re: POISON Vs: NITRO / ROUND 1 ... Rikki Rockett throws shade at Jim Gillette with Lita Ford comment.
Let's say, Rockette accepts the challenge and gets the "never was" to tap out. Can this Nitro guy even foot the 100K?? I would say No! But ask yourself this...why is a guy in his late 50's or early 60's even issuing a challenge? Did Rockette hit a nerve of truth? If you are confident in your skills...most would just walk away. I hope Rockette does not answer this clown.

They could always do a submission grappling match. An MMA fight would be illegal without them being licensed first.

Just for the record, having a successful music career, doesn't automatically mean anything... or does it?
Rikki Rockett has sold a LOT more records, and had a much bigger music career than Lebron James... and Tom Brady too... so, then there's that.
And just for the record, Gillette has been deeply entrenched in real estate, and land development for most of the last 25+ years.
Like our Tuff drummer, Michael Lean, who also stepped away from music in 1993, he has been very successful in other business in life, that have zero to do with music.
Just sayin'

Re: POISON Vs: NITRO / ROUND 1 ... Rikki Rockett throws shade at Jim Gillette with Lita Ford comment.
I meannnnn, Poison was a 4-way split on their best selling records. That puts millions in Rikki's pocket.
I guess Gillette could have made a bundle in real estate, but what was his seed money? He was pretty much a complete fail as a musician.
Are we just assuming that Rikki never invested? He did not have a lot of the usual stuff that saps wealth like drugs, children (while young) or ex-wives.
What is the actual wealth of the bargain-basement Stevie Rachelle knock-off anyway? How much did he make per broken wine glass?

Rikki seems like the one guy is Poison who is the most resentful that Bert has held his career "over a barrel" for the last 20 years.........maybe he's just lashing out at Jim out of frustration?

Re: POISON Vs: NITRO / ROUND 1 ... Rikki Rockett throws shade at Jim Gillette with Lita Ford comment.
Rockett asked a (misinformed) question, so what? Jim could have simply schooled Rikki and moved on, but what does he do?
challenges him to a "duel"?
unless I missed it, he (Rockett) doesn't have a reputation of being a dick, or does he? he seems like a decent enough guy. always cool to people on Facebook. appears to be doing a great job raising his kids, as I'm sure Jim did with his two grown sons.
c'mon, $tEvil, it's silly for two older guys to duke it out over something so ridiculous.
right?

""""""""""""""""Rockett asked a (misinformed) question, so what?"""""""""""""""""""""""
Do you have kids? I am misinformed on them, but think I will ask and suggest negative rumors about your kids on a public forum, cool?
""""""""""""""""Jim could have simply schooled Rikki and moved on, but what does he do?""""""""""""""""""""
He did... simply replying he was the parent with sole legal custody.
Rikki then read everyone's comments, and replied to multiple people, but opted to ignore and go silent on Jim's reply and comment, defending his position as the other parent.
"""""""""""""challenges him to a "duel"? """"""""""""""""""
That came after a few days, after Rockett took shots at the other comments from others, yet continued to ignore Jim.
""""""""""""""""""""""unless I missed it, he (Rockett) doesn't have a reputation of being a dick, or does he?"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
You missed it? Meaning, when Rockett threatened to beat up Joe Elliott from Def Leppard, because he made fun of Poison.
""""""""""""""""""""he seems like a decent enough guy. always cool to people on Facebook. appears to be doing a great job raising his kids""""""""""""""""""""""""""""'
I would agree with this...
But... Rikki too, has an ex, it was an ugly split with her, and my guess is... if anyone went on Facebook questioning Rikki's position as a parent, he too, just might speak out and defend himself, especially if it came from another musician or known person in the industry.
""""""""""""""""""""""""as I'm sure Jim did with his two grown sons."""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Correct. He is just that!
"""""""""""""""""""""""""c'mon, $tEvil,""""""""""""""""""""""
What do I have to do with this? "C'mon, $tEvil", what does that mean?
What's that old saying, don't shoot the messenger.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""it's silly for two older guys to duke it out over something so ridiculous. right?"""""""""""""""""
Agree... I also think it's silly, and wrong, and stupid, for any other man to go talking about someone else's kids... especially if it puts that person in bad light.
Which is exactly what Rikki did. #facts

Re: POISON Vs: NITRO / ROUND 1 ... Rikki Rockett throws shade at Jim Gillette with Lita Ford comment.

Just for the record, having a successful music career, doesn't automatically mean anything... or does it?
Rikki Rockett has sold a LOT more records, and had a much bigger music career than Lebron James... and Tom Brady too... so, then there's that.
And just for the record, Gillette has been deeply entrenched in real estate, and land development for most of the last 25+ years.
Like our Tuff drummer, Michael Lean, who also stepped away from music in 1993, he has been very successful in other business in life, that have zero to do with music.
Just sayin'
