Lucy & Desi's Long Lost Grandchild?

0902ball.jpg

They continue to charm worldwide audiences in "I Love Lucy" reruns -- now a woman is claiming Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz hid a love child that would have ruined their public image!

According to the NY Post, Cassandria Lucianna Carlson, 38, believes she's the granddaughter of the comedy duo -- and that her mother was put up for adoption before "I Love Lucy" aired -- reportedly to prevent ruining Ball's plans for stardom.

While no DNA test has been conducted to examine Carlson's lineage claims, she insists she has evidence to support them -- including a memory of being visited by Lucille herself!

Desi Jr. and Lucie Arnaz, the couple's two children, did not respond to the Post's request for comment.


NEXT: Clooney and Pitt: Burning Up the Set!

 

Although I have been aware of this situation for some time now, only this evening did I learn of this forum.

In as much as I did not want to lower myself into this disgusting brawl, there are some things that I must say.

FIRSTLY, I noticed that someone named “LisaS” posted on this forum, and I want to state that it is NOT ME. My name is Lisa Shoemaker, and this is the first and only time that I have ever been on this forum.

SECONDLY, it is appalling that anyone who was “adopted” would ever go searching out their biological lineage. What an insult this is to the wonderful people who devoted their whole lives to raising and providing for them!

It incenses me to hear those who have been adopted say that their birth parents “didn’t want them”, “didn’t love them”, etc. THAT’S BS!

Here’s a note to anyone who has ever been adopted… YOUR PARENTS LOVED YOU ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE AT A HAPPIER OR BETTER LIFE THAN WHAT THEY COULD PROVIDE FOR YOU! GROW UP!!!

AND, in response to the comments about some of these people being “gold diggers”, I’ve got news for them: If they were legally adopted, they have no right to ANYTHING of their birth parents!

In short, who really gives a f*** if these people are related or not? What does it matter? In the end (even if they DO prove lineage), they will have gained nothing but disrespect for the scandalous way in which they have addressed this situation.

THIRDLY, although I have only “known” Julia for a couple of months, I can say with 100% complete honesty that she has total and complete respect for her family. In many hours of conversation with her, she has spoken NOTHING but kind words of her family. Although she has not always been as close with them as what she would like, her love and respect for them is genuine. Of that… I am sure.

Whether certain “other” people are a member of your family or not, is a non-issue. So what if they are? So what if they’re not? Who cares? IF Lucille and Desi Sr. gave a child up for adoption, so what? Alot of people do that, and it is a most admirable decision. At the point of adoption, legal responsibilities are severed. If what these people claim is true, Lucille apparently went well beyond the call of duty.

I give my full love and support to Julia and the whole Arnaz family.

Lol well—-well looks like the other spawn are coming out. Days late, but welcome. You never lived the life the other two lived. You had your house in the woods, your self medicating family and security. Don’t come here you ain’t welcome. Look what you did with your life-pathetic.

Secondly, I wrote a full blown blog comment on my myspace that I encourage the world to read to say my peace once and only once (because my people don’t want me reading these blogs.)

What a bunch of loosers-get real lives. This is stupid and no one cares about it.

Both of you are just looking to ride on someone elses coat tails.

Lucy was Lucy are both of you are nobodies. Let it go and let Lucy’s real family be.

Loosers!!!!!!

Jodi, I have read your comment, and find it so astonishing to believe the lies that are spewing out of a christian woman’s mouth. The statements that you made were so far from the truth, and so extremely embellished that they are laughable. You have not been a part of Julia’s life for the past 2 years, nor do you really know what she does in her everyday life, so you need to stop talking. I on the other hand, have heard and seen first hand what the REAL TRUTH is in this situation. Straight from the horse’s mouth, I was told…Desi and Amy will not even accept phone calls from Julia, nor do they want any part of her in their lives. It is a sad situation, unfortunately but that is the truth, and it is even sadder that you and her “so-called” friends just want the attention and are trying to attain your 15 minutes of fame by making false statements on this blog. It is a shame really that you are all lying for your friend, and putting Johnna down, when Johnna has helped Julia in so many various ways, without so much as a simple thank you from her. I personally know the lengths that Johnna has gone to in order to help this self-centered person named “Julie”, it’s funny how all the people on here making comments never stepped up to the plate to help their friend “Julie” like Johnna did. Isnt’ that amazing? To Julie, LOL, your just jealous of Cassie, you were crying tears of joy when you discovered that she may be your cousin. Why don’t you just stop your madness and quench the green eyed monster and get a real grip on your own life and stop worrying about Cassie who is the real deal, and you know it… THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU, NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU, IT’S ABOUT CASSIE AND HER MOM…Your fifteen minutes of fame are up honey, you and your friends need to move on>

To the last comment,please feel free to send me just one time when I said she was an impostor, never did I say that. time and time again I said who knows I was not alive who am I to say if this is true or untrue.I was in the same place..as far as my Aunt Lucie goes, I never once said not one word about my Aunt Lucie through out this whole deal,and yes I know we do not have a relationship:( these digs are getting deep:( remember I am in recovery for cocaine and this has almost made me want to go out and use that drug.why if they never wanted my dna, was a hair sample submitted to the detective w/ out permission, this is a fact we have proof,and this was after I did not want to keep a appointment w/ the private D to give my DNA which I know now would have never worked.so back off, maybe you do not have your facts.wouldn’t people feel bad if this caused a relapse,I’m to strong, I will not let this happen, I may have a learning disability,which has been obviously been made fun of through out all these comments, we know where they are coming from.I really wish Cassi well, I do. but I’m glad I was not in the middle,and not even anything to do with dna.. just being in the middle going against my family,so putting dna aside, I didn’t want anything to do w/ this period, the whole thing….sorry I did change my mind about a few things.things could have been done in another way:( oh ps thank you for saying that Cassi and I are beautiful:) that was sweet,wish we could all be more mature like you,and I am even saying myself included, this is going to stop now,I am done talking about my DNA,when other press wanted me to comment all Im saying and have always said, this is not my place, never called her an impostor, other people may have, not me…and so many of these comments were made by strangers, all my friends gave their names..and I did not tell them to they did it on their own, I know Cassi has her camp and I have mine, to bad we couldn’t all just get along, when i was talking w/ Cassi my heart went out to her,I truly was fond of this women,I have come so far and I do wish Cassi the very best of luck w/ this whole thing,oh please feel free to send me a quote when for one said that she is an impostor and two when did I ever mention my Aunt Lucie,I hate to give my info but feel free to contact me on my my space mail,sorry that this turned out the way it has there has been fault on both sides my father has all my sent mail to Cassi he knows that I did want to help her at first before I thought about it long and hard.I see that your her friend and I can appreciate that,I’m glad she has got people sticking with her through this whole thing, I know how it is when people do not believe you it sucks,specially when its not proven yet,I couldn’t sleep last night because I felt bad for Cassi, and now I’m stating to cry.So for everyone reading this try and understand where this women needs her closure,lets stop bashing her,we all just do not know, none of us,I was always teased as a kid,i even got beat up in school because this bully girl said I was lying:( then I completely stop telling everyone who my famous grandparents were, or who I believed them to be, that what I was told by my mom, it took me 20 years to prove it.so give Cassi a break,you would all feel bad if it came to be true.I really apologize for childish behavior. stay strong Cassi I do miss your funny sense of humor,its to bad we couldn’t get to know each other better,I just didn’t like a few things that transpired w/ the other parties.. and I had to do what I thought was right. Truly Julia

Boy are you guys silly. Did any one read the story. It says that Julia is not being called on for DNA the supposed aunt and uncle are being called on. Don’t you people read? My 2 year old knew that.

Also, a media outlet just reported in Cal that Casandria doesn’t need either one of Arnazes. There’s new proof on how to identify Casandria and the Ball-Arnaz clan without your or their DNA. The Arnaz clan gave clearance for the search to continue. Julia, you really should pipe down, the family is not denying it. Insider sources to the Arnaz kids say “they have spoken of the other daughter as the other daughter for years upon years, this is not new news, they have been waiting for years for this to finally come out.” Casandria’s camp’s comment was “no comment” Julia, I also understand that you have no dealings with Lucie. She’s the head of the family, thus you don’t know what she has or has not said and prior to sticking your foot in pretending you even know who she is, don’t speak for her. She’s a powerful woman who is on her A game. She’s the grandious queen now and I understand she’s had contact with Casandria regarding Casandria’s quest for information.

Casandria was asked yesterday during an interview if she had anything to say to you if you were listening, she said became choked up, her voice got cracky and changed and said, “I just can’t comment on this, the mere thought of Julia in distress due to media breaks my heart-that’s personal-Thank you”

Cassandria Julia continues to call you an imposter and damning words of the such, don’t let someone who has a history of being out for the money, binging it away cause any heartache on you as a person. I read the article and understand-it’s that she’s so much like your mom who you lost tragically.

I hurt for both of you, most of america hurts for both of you. Two women who are both beautiful and look alike are separated by self centered people. Sad that people can be used like puppets in a puppet show.

You were told to stick together. What happened? Nevermind, I know what happened.

I must say you people are probably enjoying all this I have the facts!!!!!! Jodi was listening to the whole conversation when Vitto told me you sent him my hair the hair you saved, and yes I remember you telling me you were going to save it,we laughed because you said we could make Lucy dolls w/ my hair, oh by the way, I really thought that was weird but I didn’t want to hurt your feelings,I never thought you would use it for something else,especially something so personal,who are you? a private detective on a murder trial. well sorry this is not the case.and for people saying anything about this they are only stating facts, this did happen,and that is just sick.don’t forget what you said to Jodi when you first told her about my hair, you knew then I never gave you permission,this was after I decided not to be any part of this claim you went ahead and used my hair any way. that is CREEPY, I agree w/ Heather,this is getting old,just like it will, this whole thing is going to fizzle down very quickly,sure its going to buzz for about a minute, but for the most part no one really cares, there are so many other important things going on today.truly Julia ARNAZ.

Way to go Julia! Took the words right out of my mouth!

It appears that Johnna has nothing in life going for her except try to feed off others and try to get her name in print. Even when there’s no truth involved in what she’s saying….
Get your own life Johnna!!

BTW - Here’s a FACT…. Julia spoke to the NY Post and posed at the beach with her cat. Maybe she feels slighted because she got no pics on print.

Furthermore…. to have your friends post on your behalf is sooooo grade school, but then again that’s obvious by your spelling. Grow up ladies….. and we know who you are by name.

Everything is traceable.
