The first famous work as an actress that she worked on was for a role in the movie Mandingo, and she played someone named 'Dite.' Since then, Debbi has acted in many movies and television shows since she began her acting career. She has been nominated for Emmy awards multiple times and other awards for her outstanding acting abilities. She has appeared in movies such as "Coach Carter," "Asunder," "The Runaway," "Taxi Driver," "Back in the Day," "Color of the Cross." On top of her movie-acting career, Debbi has made a name for herself as an actress in television series, having roles in such shows as "The Bold and the Beautiful," "Power," "Soul Food," "Touching Evil," and many more. Being a successful actress for over 30 years, she has developed quite an impressive resume of acting roles over the years.
Debbi has shared her history of abuse and domestic violence in numerous interviews and the passages of her book, "The Monkey on My Back: A Memoir — Breaking A Generational Curse." The book details how domestic violence was commonplace in her family, from her grandmother first being abused by her husband to Debbi's mom and aunt both being abused by their husbands. In an interview with Oprah.com, Debbi recalled her family's history with abuse by saying, "Not only that, there were nine siblings, four of the five sisters married abusive men," she says. "And all of the brothers turned out to be abusive husbands, except for one." Debbi then recalls how she witnessed this horrible abuse and how it affected her throughout her life. She also discusses how ultimately, it led to her even seeking out such men and being abused herself.
In the same interview, Debbi says, "The first love of my life was this little boy named Butch, who I just adored. One day my father walked me to nursery school, and I heard somebody saying, 'Debbi, Debbi,' and I'm like, 'Daddy, Daddy, here comes Butch!'" she says. "It's like in a movie in slow motion. I'm running towards Butch, and he's running towards me, he gets up to me, and he goes pow and punches me in the stomach." "Even though he had hit me, I looked at him as my protector, and anybody that I thought was going to be my protector and keep me safe, that's what I was drawn to," she says. "Until ultimately, I would find out that they were the person that I needed to be protected from."
The personal life of Debbi was no less tumultuous than her career. Her first husband was Charles Weldon. They married in 1980 and remained married until 1984. Next was actor Charles Dutton, with who Debbi for five years has linked her life. After Charles, she met Donn Thompson, but in 2000 they also divorced. Currently, Debbi is married to Jeffrey Winston. Despite her four marriages, she doesn't have kids.
