It’s by no means a great factor watching a household feud, particularly in public for all to see and pre-judge with out all the correct particulars — Steve Harvey and enjoyable trivia questions make for a really small exception, however that’s one other story. Add the side of movie star into the image and, effectively, it’s a tragic scenario irrespective of who’s proper or unsuitable.
We witnessed that occur not too long ago within the case of comedienne Mo’Nique, already the present talk-of-the-town following a really viral interview on Membership Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe, and her eldest son, Shalon Watkins Jr.

Shalon, who posts below the TikTok deal with @sho_nomaddad (seen above), hopped on not too long ago to make a video addressing the feedback his well-known mother made within the midst of her three-hour-long interview with regard to their strained relationship. Though he seems to maintain a comparatively low profile on social media, the daddy to a younger little one himself felt upset by the best way Mo made it appear as if there was room for reconciliation — briefly, he appears to allude that it was all for present. “My mom and I each know that [reconciliation] is a really false narrative, and I want to free her of getting to proceed telling that lie,” he stated amongst different issues within the almost 10-minute lengthy assertion, which didn’t come off as a rant and was truly calm in nature all through.

Mo’Nique, identified to be as clear as they arrive, made her personal response by way of Instagram Reside not too lengthy after. Sitting as per ordinary subsequent to her husband, Sidney Hicks, the Queens Of Comedy star gave a response to not solely the problems with Shalon however latest feedback made by Stephen A. Smith and Decide Greg Mathis as effectively. The just about-40-minute response, whereas additionally calm in nature, did give the impression that her son isn’t giving the complete image in telling his facet and likewise may be struggling, or in some unspecified time in the future suffered, from psychological sickness.
