Making "mistakes" and always apologising for them is a decision, but Niecy doesn't see it that way #BETBeingMaryJane

[@OkJuelz]

Mary Jane was like Terri in Soul Food, take care of the family, just because their family

[@javionriley8739]

That’s why I be like F-family because there worst’s then friends

[@sheisbrit17]

​@@javionriley8739 Depends on what kinda fam ya got.

[@DrineThePoet]

She needed that reality check for sure.

[@ChuckysOveralls]

Lol which one?

[@user-kf2oi4sq5b]

And did

[@laurafabianmarrero]

The niece Who else ​@@ChuckysOveralls

[@Aname87]

Mary Jane wasn’t wrong. Neicy was an entire mess. Whether MJ got an issue with alcohol or not, Neicy was deflecting bc she got caught.

[@MzTyraB]

I rewatch Being Mary Jane every so often, and the older I get the more my perspective changes.

[@nicoleraheem1195]

In what ways?

[@MzTyraB]

@@nicoleraheem1195 so I watched the series when it first came out, as they were releasing new episodes. But I was in high school, & I didn’t understand context or perspective of this grown women’s choices and decisions. But then I rewatched it again, when I was in my mid twenties, and I started to comprehend the dialect, understand her wants, needs and expectations. But I didn’t have the experience, the income or the lifestyle. But now that I’m almost 30 there are things I can put into perspective and articulate a little better, & she’s more relatable. And I understand her choices. But I also don’t agree with everything she chose either. Does that make sense.?.

[@michaelwilliams8625]

@@MzTyraB Makes perfect sense dear! You are growing wiser over the years!

[@MzTyraB]

@@michaelwilliams8625 thanks. I think we all do as we get older.

[@alexisshantel6355]

This is how aunties need to step up

[@kayc421]

We do everyday

[@rheasummer5806]

My aunts were terrible and crazy and tried to ursup my mother’s authority because she was less religious. I wish I had better aunts.

[@michaeljones3509]

She need a reality check long overdue

[@kayc421]

It is exhausting when they're not receptive.

[@SL-lz9jr]

To be fair, both characters were highly flawed and needed a lot of psychological work on themselves, but at least one of them was gainfully employed and financially set. So, there's that. But both needed a reality check. However, as a niece, I would never talk back to my aunt like that especially an aunt who was providing for me and my baby. The disrespect would be slapped out of my mouth.

[@LM-he7eb]

The difference is that MaryJane's flaws only affected her. Niecy's flaws spilled over on everyone, people have to clean up Niecy's mess. No one had to clean up MaryJane's mess, she did it herself

[@1980havplenty]

This show is what made me like Gabriel Union.

[@KingMaxMcqueen]

This is one of the best series - highly under-appreciated for all of the subject matter it covered and the acting was ✨👌🏾

[@Kristyn00]

What she said to her niece was true. But she did clock Maryjane alcoholism tea and auntie did NOT LIKE that 😬

[@cheetahgurll]

Okay and when she said “you’re twice my age” I would’ve said “and you’re twice my size”. Obese ppl have ZERO rights to talk abt someone else’s life choices😂 they shouldn’t even be allowed to criticize anything.

[@LM-he7eb]

The Alcohol, that she bought with her money & drinks in her own house? The Alcohol that didn't stop her from getting a degree, getting a job & keeping a job? The Alcohol that didn't lead her to having 2 babydaddies? Nothing to clock here.

[@kpopmessedmalifeup]

I thought this was an old show, they both still look soooo young

[@dentindahousee9635]

I usually don’t like BET shows or anything on it… But I gotta say that this show and the writing for this episode was superb. I actually know a few people that can benefit from the words off of this show… Particularly this episode! And it’s sad that I know a few people like that!

[@chantalalexander]

No you don't get to critique your auntie because auntie is a functional alcoholic that you depend to supplement your life. She doesn't depend on you. Even when you no longer contribute to taking money out of her hard work and wallet, you still got some ways to go before you can fix your mouth to judge her.

[@crazy2154]

Some would disagree.. especially in today’s time lol

[@neshieg]

So sad but true

[@Andy-nv6ys]

What are you taking about? This show is recent and people agree with Gabrielle Union's argument. You guys love imaginary enemies, it's sad.

[@bgos4727]

[@lolmfs]

Baby mamas were ever a thing

[@jezeannwilliams1145]

Mary Jane hid the alcohol cause there are young kids in the house. How does the niece not understand that?

[@andrearichardson6426]

You know I never really watched this except for maybe one episode if that looks like I’m gonna have to watch this

[@shardejones16]

Loved this show

[@tanyacasey3395]

They need to make that a public service announcement commercial to show how immature these young women are and the family that enables them.

[@divasmith3570]

I would have given her three months to stay then, I would have given her a list of shelters or housing agencies. However, the kids will stay with me until she is able to access permanent housing and prove a record of sustainable employment. If she is unsuccessful, then I would have informed child services or arrange for another Black Community minded orientated people other than [C.A.S.] to gather the children.

[@1queen1crown1throne3]

Shiiiiiii !! They ALL would have to go!! Unfortunately, children have to deal with the decision their parents make

[@Ang417]

Nope the kids would have to go to!! Because that would have been her way of leaving her kids for someone else to raise

[@Trysaratop]

If you are willing to take on kids then babysit them while she goes to work to be able to move out.

[@divasmith3570]

@1queen1crown1throne3 I understand where you're coming from, but aren't you afraid that something might happen to children due to the mother's carelessness

[@divasmith3570]

@Trysaratop I would have arranged a childcare assistant to step in for the 40 hours per week.

[@liveeric2631]

2:35 Sound like she knows what her niece is really looking for CS Child Support child support is also a career

[@melody6725]

this show was SO exhausting.

[@SamDavidJr]

Interesting….

[@shonda79able]

Mary Jane can drink tequila and hide the bottles in her own house.

[@coraliecadet90]

As tough as MJ was, Niecy needed that reality check

[@user-kf6lu4dn2r]

She's not wrong though grown women do have jobs in a career involves a paycheck and getting paid. Staying home with no paycheck to take care of babies is nothing more than staying home to take care of shity diapers.

[@sanitizerwilson1599]

Until she found an other man!!!! I knew those kind females!!!

[@abdullahiahmed2805]

Damm

[@BukolaOyakunle]

But she was an hypocrite, I love that nicey grew through the series but Maryjane was too impulsive.acting reckless

[@Aname87]

MJ was reckless, however she was taking care of everybody, including her lazy niece and her children. Reckless or not, Niecy needed the reality check. She didn’t put her out, she told her to get it together.

[@KhaosChilde97]

Never watched this, but just based on this clip, the niece had no place to judge. No matter how much of an alcoholic her aunt is, fact is, shes a functional one with a job, a home, and the responsibility of taking care of a seemingly ungrateful niece and her kid. Until the niece gets her life together, she has no place to judge someone whos definitely doing better than her on the whose life will fall apart first scale.

[@missladyandi]

Child, being a momma is a full time job. Women SHOULD get paid for taking care of their children.

[@princelee1990]

Women need to marry a man to provide if she gonna be a stay at home mom .

[@jolinalee3887]

Girl that’s not how the world works. Stop crying and get a job to feed these baby’s. You choose to have them , so take care of them.

[@ebakindeji5941]

Then men should also get paid for being fathers.

[@missladyandi]

@@ebakindeji5941 okay, the more people getting the resources they need to show up for their service, amen and hallelujah! Daddy get your money too! If Daddy is an actual full time homemaker and and caregiver the way mom is then he should get paid. If her contribution in the home enables him to be free of the brunt of the immense daily labour of caring for home and children, then let him get paid for where his energy lies. I hope you understand this isn't a he vs her thing, but about the real acknowledgement of the invisible labour of homelife management that is taken for granted but is as tedious and energy taking as going out to the world and getting a job. Full time home making and children rearing is WORK. If both parents are in the world and have to delegate cooking to chefs, cleaning to housekeepers, and child care to nannies and babysitters, those services are paid for. One of our collective tragedies is how women's work at home is unappreciated and unacknowledged. Kapish!?

[@gp2671]

Neither is dressing your son up in dresses and parading him around for money.

[@Alexander-it3hy]

Mary Jane is weird….. just so mad for what

[@dineongoepe2494]

She wasn't weird...Niecy was spoilt

[@user-do1qf8rm7b]

She not weird. Taking care of someone else who don’t want to get their life together is annoying

[@ebonyeverything2751]

​@@user-do1qf8rm7bexactly she was taking care of her family, had a tough career and STRESSED out. Black women genuinely carry the world, and they call us mad smh.

[@abbieC88]

She was mad that her niece was popping out babies 😂, makes sense to me.... Plus, she was basically taking care of the family. That's a lot of stress.

[@GeauxQueen]

She was mad because she found the niece was having s3x in her bed. Check out the episode and you’ll understand why she was upset with her.
