Empire Flashback Cookie gets kicked out of the house

[@roxannpoor8770]

It broke his heart. But he knew his daughter and that she wouldn't stop seeing him. He felt guilty that his daughter got corrupted on his watch. It's sad they didnt get to patch things up.

[@tiggerdavis6964]

This would make an amazing spin off

[@Destiny-nz5yg]

I was just thinking that 👏🏾😩😩

[@katymbeke8400]

Imagine Cookie's family (father and sisters) making an appearance

[@itswineglass]

After Empire's over, we deserve a spin-off show of the Holloway Sisters!! Show us more of their childhood & show us what happened between their parents!!

[@Shortlady82]

IKR!!!

[@jay-lanhalliburton3593]

Well that just may happen because Cookie is going to get her own spinoff series.

[@mbm9907]

She had drugs and drug money in the house y’all.. some rules are unbreakable.

[@Marine-vw3vi]

Mahogany Applebum she had obviously very bad frequentations but this is not a reason for throwing his own kid away

[@sophiaayalew5207]

Marmar she's a bad influence on her sisters what would he do with three lots of drug money in his house

[@danielo3797]

Bantu. U bad😍

[@kobestrickland99]

That still doesn’t make it right tho !! He has 3 daughters and even if he just had cookie it still wouldn’t change the fact that she is his responsibility until she’s grown and gown i don’t believe in that legally grown shit cuz my grandma raised me and yeen grown until ya get ya own house and paying bills but anywho yea no matter the situation u don’t give up on your flesh and blood

[@angelaharris9714]

Kobe Strickland so what do you think he should’ve done then

[@PearlGurl14]

I always get emotional when watching this scene, but my heart always breaks when you hear the dad crying so hard at 1:23, he couldn't even look at Cookie after he let her go/':

[@nathalieniang7962]

Me too

[@helenaelizabeth792]

That’s called tough love.

[@jojoc8229]

@Lila Maria I'm really sorry for what happened to your friend but you got to see through the father's perspective. Teenagers will do something bad and say they'll never do it again but he knew she wouldn't stop. Luscious had her under his control. He had to do what he thought was necessary. Like he said he had two other daughters to think of and he couldn't allow her to be a bad influence to them too. In some cases like kicking a child out isn't the best but cookie had to learn that she just couldn't keep doing whatever and not have any consequences.(I'm curious to know the situation with your friend) It might seem heartless but I feel like if he hadn't done what he did cookie wouldn't be the woman that she is today.

Kicking your child who’s a minor and a girl isn’t

[@dakotai8612]

She should have been thankful to have a dad like that

[@kobestrickland99]

How when he kicked her out ?

[@angelaharris9714]

Kobe Strickland that’s was her own fault. You can’t keep giving people multiple chances when nothing is changing. This started to affect her family so something needed to be done. Evidently this was a hard choice for her father but it needed to be done. That should’ve been a wake up call for her to change her ways because of the damage it would cause for her family.

[@kobestrickland99]

Angela Harris and ? I don’t give af how bad my child is baby I’m not kicking them out no matter the situation! If i brought you in to this world then you’re my responsibility until you get grown and out on yo own periodt ! Because that right there can make a child hate their parents and they be wondering why they grow up so bitter

[@angelaharris9714]

Kobe Strickland interesting so it doesn’t matter what the child is doing even if it’s the most dangerous thing ever you still wouldn’t kick them out. So how would you have handled the situation then?

That had to be the last straw. Evidently everything he tried to do didn’t work. You can’t keep giving people countless chances when nothing is changing. That should’ve been a wake up call for her. Something should’ve told her how this affects her family so she should’ve got her stuff together and made an effort to prove to her dad she was ready to come back home.

Cookie's dad messed her up. She was wrong for the drugs and guns but kicking her out....??!! Was a complete WRONG! How was she supposed to change if she's out in the streets alone? Besides, she is a teenage girl in bad neighbourhood. A lot of terrible despicable things could have happened to her. Only Lucious could have taken care of her. He should have embraced her and gone to talk to Luscious to stay away from her. 30 years later, she's divorcing him after 17 years in prison.

[@geraldjohnson4013]

Cookie's father didn't mess her up. She messed herself up disobeying his rules. And you don't negotiate with dope dealers particularly when it comes to your children. Luscious is a sociopath. He was a was sociopath when Cookie met him.

[@geraldjohnson4013]

@RonnyLamar KylesJr. Exactly! Cookie is the one who through her betrayal of her own father indirectly gave him a coronary. Folks saying he shouldn't have kicked her out obviously don't know the dire consequences of having a dope dealer in their home or a dope mule. Your house is a target of juicy opportunity for dope dealers and law enforcement seeking to make a bust.

[@jocelynmcelroy3034]

So parents should allow their kids to disrespect them and keep drugs in their house? Okay.

[@3000Degreez]

pure cap. Im a father and i understand his pain. you are looking at it from one side only. cant you see that he had given her multiple chances to act right but she did not. cant u see the pain this man is in having to make this decision? you seem to be selfish

[@Tubii22]

I agree with all of the comments below this dumb comment! Obviously you don’t consider the two other young daughters he had to protect and care for. When finding drugs and guns in the house… anyone could end up dead or in the hospital. And the fact he gave her numerous chances to act right and obey his rules.

I don’t care how bad the situation is or what my child did i would never throw somebody i gave life to out on the street you have to teach your child the right things to do in life that’s what’s wrong with parents they be so quick to throw their child off on somebody else and then wanna figure out later in life way they’re so cold hearted ‼️

No he wasn't. Cookie had worn down all his patience. She continued to disrespect him and lie to him. It was a hard decision for him, but Cookie was gonna mess her father up. Having drugs in his house. He had two other children to think of. He allowed her to go be a little troublemaker on her own with Lucious.

[@jojoc8229]

Micah Franklin you have to see this from the dad's point of view. Cookie was continuing to lie and bring drug money into the house. Not only being destructive to herself but to her family. She wasn't going to change, she was going to continue to do what she's doing and then be a bad influence to her sisters. You can see that is paining him to do this but when you've done everything you can for a child and they still don't want to listen, it's best that they go and experience the real world for themselves. It might sound harsh but actions have consequences and cookie needed to learn that.
