My parents divorced when I was young but it was obvious my mom hated my dad but she never said a bad thing about him. She let us have our own relationship with him. I think that is how it should be and I'm thankful she did that.

[@mommamia9948]

Same. My mom never told us why they broke up and why she didn’t like him until after he passed away. She only told me, but he cheated on her. She never let us know she didn’t like him tho 😂 we loved my dad soo much. He was a great dad

[@queenteireigns6212]

You're mom is a special lady. I wish I could say the same about mine. I still love them both. She didn't act like she hated him. But she definitely told us things that I shouldn't have known

[@Tmgsteel1992]

What woman don’t grow to hate the man they swear they love it’s like a curse I know it’s terrible men out there but I know women that started to hate their husbands because they worked to much women find reasons to leave and men look for reasons to stay it’s proven just look at the statistics who file for divorce the most and who is the most effected by it

@@Tmgsteel1992 This is one of the biggest fears a married man has. Your wife just leaving on a whim or because her idea of marriage isn't like what she saw on TV. A lot of guys are now choosing to have long term girlfriends instead of wives because it's so risky.

My father acknowledged me, but we don't have a relationship. I wrote him a letter of forgiveness, but I don't allow him in my space. He's sickly now and needs nursing care. My siblings and his sisters are doing that. My feeling is his women took precedence and that's where his money went. I don't feel guilty in my decision not to go around him. I feel for my siblings though. They're literally fighting our aunts over property...smh My mother shielded me from chaos and violence and I'm glad she did.

Gary and Kenya were together 20+ years. No matter how done he was with the marriage, he owed her the respect of telling her that he planned to file for divorce. He comes across as if children should be able to separate the fact he was a good dad from the fact he lied to and deeply hurt their mom. The details of what led to the breakdown of their marriage are insignificant to how he is using notoriety to recruit people onside. He is doing more damage and it’s unfortunate that he can’t see that. As long as Kenya and their children are hurting, this isn’t a laughing matter.

[@AbeM-jm8yo]

You didn't listen at all, like most people smh. His wife cheated also, and she wanted a divorce also. He spoke on it but stated not airing her out. She just thought like most women who file which is 70% of all divorces. That she would be the first to file.

His kids are adults. They've seen way more than what's being disclosed. If they're not talking to him, there's definitely a reason. Not to mention them knowing he was constantly cheating on their mother. A lot of people don't realize that the kids feel betrayed as well. I hope they work it out, but I don't think it plays in his favor with him publicly acting like he doesn't understand why they don't want to talk to him.

He pretty much said it. He was on the road a lot, cheated multiple times and then didn't even tell them before he filed for divorce. The fact that the kids don't speak to him now speaks volumes. They are old enough where if he was such a great dad to them, no amount of badmouthing on the part of their mom could sway their opinions.

As long as he take care of those kids it's no one else's business

[@QuinnDBranch]

Gary needs to stop talking about this stat! i cannot look at him the same

[@jenniferhaynes8625]

He was clearing things up.When the divorce was going on,I saw Kenya on a lot of interviews talking about the relationship.

[@troya.8094]

Nobody knows you or cares. He’s allowed to tell his side after years of silence.

[@QuinnDBranch]

@@troya.8094 and I'm allowed to state my opinion 😘

[@Yahawadah70ad]

​@@QuinnDBranch True, but as the person above stated, no one cares or gives af.

[@elizabethantoine9652]

But if y’all don’t care about what a person is saying why comment !?? Must love that person to keep giving attention !! Love ya

[@jrenee8303]

I’m sorry that story about him taking his kids and leaving was awful. I couldn’t imagine you taking my kids and leaving for DAYS while you drive across the country and won’t even pick up the phone. That would traumatize me for life

[@diaryofafreebitch]

He’s confused why he doesn’t have a relationship with them???? It’s absolutely unbelievable watching this whole exchange….the comments defending him are even worse.

[@TheMainMan364]

They are his kids too

[@TheMainMan364]

If she did this you wouldn’t bat an eye.

[@jrenee8303]

@@TheMainMan364 nothing to do with gender, wrong is wrong. Taking the kids unexpectedly after a fight and cutting off communication is evil

[@julesgordon1109]

​@@jrenee8303welcome to the reality of what a lot of what some of us men go thru with the mother of our kids.....now yall see how evil and messes that is.

Please pay attention ladies. 🙏🏾 You give them your youth and your body and they cheat, lie and then drive to another state to divorce you at a disadvantage. They arenever worried about their kids when they are cheating on you😂 only when its time to pay for the separate household they have to pay for because OF THEIR ACTIONS.

[@TheMainMan364]

Nobody cares lol

[@isabelflowers2585]

U must be hurt

[@SmazzitSEOTrainingInstitute]

Yep

[@zakzak12321]

Selfish guy… and not very aware 😅 of course the kids won’t want anything to do with you… his actions not only hurt the mom but them as well because they most likely looked up to him. My dad cheated on my mom and though she chose to forgive him, I never did. We are cordial but things won’t be the same..

[@mwebster3265]

Who is gonna take your comment series when you OBVIOULSY biased due to YOUR past. 🙄🙄

[@ukan.536]

​@@mwebster3265huh? Speak English.

Grow up!! Whatashame!

It's none of your business stay in a child's place. Respectfully.

[@feliceshannon9410]

Shannon, you did it again! I really enjoyed this interview and I listened to ALL of it! Both did not handle the divorce process correctly AND both dodged the process server so..I just pray that the relationship with his children is repaired sooner than later cuz life is really short. It's okay to start at baby steps but START. I pray they listen to the interview openly and seek to understand him as Dad and not the comedian cuz he dropped nuggets. Best wishes Gary can't wait to see you in Naptown.
