The Sun alleged that he also shot up her mink coat "and possibly other clothes".Tomi Rae herself called 911 following a domestic dispute, and the couple separated temporarily in 2003."I did do some of the things reported," was Brown's response to this last incident, "and admittedly, they weren't so great."He met his current wife 10 years ago in her hometown of Las Vegas, where she successfully auditioned to join his backing singers."She said 'Hello' I knew then that she was sarcastic. You can't give a woman limitations if you don't find your obligations. But once I've taken care of her like a queen, I'm not going to go along with so much."It's a matter of record that his treatment of certain women has been less than regal. Adrienne, his third wife, who died following cosmetic surgery in 1996 aged 45, accused him of beating her with a metal pipe and shooting at her car.

In the world of James Brown, control is a word that crops up with some regularity. It's remarkable that he's entrusted the management of his wife's career to David Arden. (The softly-spoken Englishman, who is 55, has inherited the shrewdness and determination of his widely-feared father, but not the predilection for GBH.)"A woman should know her limitations, as a man should know his obligations," Brown continues "I'm going to stay into that philosophy. Unless I quit reading the Bible.""Do you read the Bible every day?""I do. And yet he has humour, old-world gentility, and an ability to listen.

We've been talking for 20 minutes when the shades come off, and he smiles. It feels as though he's just put a gun away."You been in that hotel too long," he tells me "You ain't been sleepin' there You been thinking about James Brown. I mean you didn't think about anything but me last night."He looks across the room, at his wife, 36 years his junior."I go back to how it was years ago, when men controlled women," he says. So he figures, if he's got James Brown - if he can show I'm there - he's saying 'James Brown is my kind of a man,' you know?"Jonathan Ross, he recalls, "looked at me and said: 'That's the coolest man on the planet.'""Would I be incorrect if I were to describe you as a modest man, Mr Brown?""Yeah," he replies "I mean, no No, you wouldn't be wrong I am very modest.
