You’ll always have friends when you have money, but once you lose it or end up in a situation where your dying and can lose the money suddenly your friends turn on you.
Business can turn so ugly and people will do anything for money. It’s shame that someone could do something so ugly to a family who went through so much smh
It makes me sad…. Good people are taken advantage of all the damn time and I learned that from my pa. He was at every funeral and every birthday. He served our country and people took that for granted including me and now that he is gone I pay the price every day
Money has nothing to do with this, there's enough to go around. It's greed that makes people do that, haven't you met someone who have more than you wanting the little you've got?
@@jibanyanawesome8577 There's still good people out there and I'm sure the Kowalski's started out as good people, But money changes people and that's why it's important to not give people the chance y'know?

I hope so. Not for an eternity in hell- but at the very least karma. If they got together to rob him and his- I just have to wonder what they do to each other. I think that when money is so important that there will never be enough. Like an addict always looking for more. That is not a good way to live. And the money they stole was like blood $.

Anyone who watched this should let it be known far and wide to boycot the people who control his name and likeness. Someone's got to give his family back the rights to his paintings and likeness. Craziness.
Most people profit from people's death, Marvel is selling NFTs in the name of Stan Lee. This Kowalski family made NFTs of Bob Ross (NFTs are bad for the environment and bob was cared about environment and he would have never allowed).
@@Charlesperalo that’s understandable and I respect that stance, but I disagree. They took more than their fair share and they owe back payment. They deserve nothing.
The company would have been nothing without Bob's legendary skills and talent. Bob should have had a revision of his contract way before things were about to get sour.
Greed is why so many problems in our society still exist. We teach our children to share, and play nice but it all goes out the window when you become an adult.
I took my 10 year old daughter to 5 below in christiana delaware this past weekend and it's crazy you brought Bob Ross up. I've watch a couple of documentaries about him not to mention growing up watching him. Awesome all around guy. The shame of it is his family can't even get what they deserve. 5 below was selling an energy drink with Bob ross' picture on the side. Straight up GROSS. Everyone who watched this should boycot anything with his name on it. The woman who ste his name and likeness and it's pathetic.
I saw a video about Bob Ross and how on his death bed he yelled for the first time in years at the Kowalski family because they wanted the rights to him...
Im guessing the way the contract was written wasnt that bob and jane had 50% but instead each had 25% so when jane died, it was split between the three remaining people. Which ultimately ousted Bob from having any control over his own company. What a shame, and such a sick play by the kowalskis. If we assume theyre the ones that set up the contract, they probably set it up like this on purpose.
🌈Beautiful Bob Ross💯 Justice for Steven Ross... R.I.P BOB ROSS🌈🌈🌈 May his son gain full rights and ownership to Bob Ross name & Products all over the world🌼🙌🙌🙌🔥
That's why you NEVER EVER share in a situation like this, I get that they were friends but the Kowalski's have really gone against Bob's wishes, Bob should've never agreed to share the company with the Kowalski's.
I took my kids trick or treating at his house my boyfriend thought Steve was home because the lights were on in the house he was a high school friend of Steve's. Turned out to be Bob headed to Alaska just back from Florida his wife was packing he was checking out the house. He was incredible gracious dumped a decent size chunk of change from a jar into the kids. Bags. He was surprised they knew who he was they were star struck 5 and 7 year olds never missed his show at home. Mom painted with him and fixed it so the kids could too. I met his son once he was also really nice.
You always reap what you sow, these people that did this will stand before God and will answer for their greed, believe me it isn't going to be pretty.
The other way around back from Alaska leaving for Florida. He insulated his house with milk jugs with water. He said in the beginning it worked really well but the jugs were breaking down. I thought it was a good idea to try any way never heard of any one else doing that.
It's crazy how we live in a world where someone can say they own someone's likeness more than the actual person that likeness is of. Edit: In otherwards, they owned Bob Ross, more than he owned himself.
Ya, the only way to fight this would be for Bob Ross to have destoryed his own image on purpose so they couldnt use it. They cant control him as a person so if he had a scandal involving drugs and sex, then the value of his likeness would plummet and the kowalskis would have been shit out of luck
@@bubrub5564 I know. It was a lose lose situation. Im just saying its the only real way to win against the kowlaskis. His family cant win this in court.
That’s absolutely disgusting he’s a person he is an actual person not a fictional character nobody should be fighting over his image let alone people that are not his family that is ridiculous The Kowalski family seems absolutely abhorrent
Bruh, I still watch Bob's videos here on YT..and now I learned this demons run and own this? Ain't no way..they even have the yt play button sticked up their wall💀
Bob ross was a human with some flaws but always had a genuine wholesome smile that charmed his followers, sad that his family got chewed out from their own wealth due to greedy so called friends... Rip Bob
I’m not a painter but my wife is. One thing we noticed after that Bob Ross documentary came out the line of Bob Ross products weren’t selling like they used to and most everything he had turned into shelf sitters. Personally, I hope it continues to do that so the Kowalski‘s will go bankrupt.

Boycott bob Ross Inc.
Greed is why so many problems in our society still exist. We teach our children to share, and play nice but it all goes out the window when you become an adult.
Blame Bob Ross’s brother. He sold his shares to them without Steve’s knowledge.
did you see the netflix doc too?
@@bearpoop720 Absolutely! How could I not lol. Man that was a good documentary. Answers everything about him. I didn’t know his hair was a Perm 😂

That's why you never do business where you don't have 51% of the rights of that company. No matter whom you do business with, NEVER go less then 51%.
Hmm I saw this before
It doesn't work like that. 51% isn't a guarantee that you own everything. The other party still owns 49%.
@@abdullah82m 51% means you have majority shares and if that is how your company is based then you can choose what happens

You have no idea.

Bob Ross was a literally Vietnam solider who got countless kill counts lol before he become this humble guy
People always turn against you when money is involved. Like with Britney, Wendy Williams, and bob Ross.
@BigBruh yep also him
It's not uncommon for people to become very sick or to get cancer after a big loss. Grief is very powerful.
You always reap what you sow, these people that did this will stand before God and will answer for their greed, believe me it isn't going to be pretty.
The Kowalski's should pay for this betrayal but they won't because we don't live in a fair and just world. Shame on them
I saw a documentary about him by the Kowalskis but they never mentioned this even once. I wonder why😐
I saw the Netflix documentary about this and people were scared of speaking out about it

THANK YOU for exposing this
Lol, he didn’t expose it.
(I’m just clarifying for you, sorry, no offense)
Damn, absolutely disgusting.
How the hell his son didn’t win this?
when your own son can't legally say your name when ur dead
Kind deeds will not go unpunished
so called friends when both their friends die they don't even have the courtesy to respect their last wish and help their children of the deceased
Kowalski family should own nothing of the Bob Ross brand.
Some great friends he has
I miss bob Ross 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😣😖😔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 RIP BOB ROSS

I want everyone, and i do mean EVERYONE to realease your inner toxicity on those people
That means every time you purchase a Bob Ross product - you’re supporting those people.

I feel like such an ass for buying merch now.

Rest in peace Bob Ross I loved your paintings you are my idol
This is why I will not go into business with friends.
