Geoffrey Owens Talks the Trader Joe’s Controversy

[@politicaltwinkie2370]

Sometimes our enemies, without their intent, deliver our blessings.

Political Twinkie That's what their here 4...they just didn't know it...

[@politicaltwinkie2370]

Msjawanda, amen! Old folks use to say, in digging a grave for me, dig two, one for yourself also. My experience has taught me, they can dig just one, for their intentions do not have to be my fate, but theirs.

Political Twinkie That's right... that phrase is n the Bible...

Whoever tried to shame him, shame on them !!!!

[@johnd5574]

It's great seeing Geoffrey getting more acting work. As he said, there was no shame in having the Trader Joe's job for the time in between. He was being responsible and supporting his family. Many actors don't have the luck of getting great roles all the time, and have to take regular jobs to make ends meet.

[@marymezsserwanga]

That photo is the best thing thats ever happened for his career.

[@Lil08103]

he worked at my trader joes in clifton, nj and i saw him bi-monthly while shopping. he was a great cashier. happy to see these good things happening for him.

[@CaptainRockoBD]

Wish i could’ve met him

[@nickey6631]

It just shows you when people are trying to be dirty in disrespectful and messy. God always has you. In that there's ways more positive and kind people willing to help in stand up for great things.......

[@ryzen983]

ur message was going really well until u messed up and put "god always haves you" instead of "god always has u"

[@beverlyhigh620]

No shame in having an honest job! No job should be beneath any of us !

[@mr.richard3109]

Geoffrey Owens said in multiple occasions that he doesn't want to be offered a job because of this incident, unless he's interviewed and found fit for the job. But let me just say Mr. Owens, the way you handled the situation makes you fit for A LOT of jobs! Keep on rockin the world!!

[@carladw3380]

Mr. Richard What Mr. Owens keeps forgetting is he IS an already an accomplished actor. I appreciate his humility, but he should grab hold of his blessings and not look back.

[@mr.richard3109]

@@carladw3380 couldn't agree more!

[@tieiatalks]

I’m absolutely bawling my eyes out! He really deserves this and I cannot wait to see more of him!

[@andraethegiant1987]

Geoffrey Owen is a great actor! He's one of my favorite character on The Cosby Show!

[@stylecollective-qt9um]

God is good...and Geoffrey, we're very proud of you! 💛💛💛

[@inthezonenews]

So heartfelt for him to donate the money Niki Minaj gave him for struggling actors, that was beautiful.

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

Yes. I also had no idea he took care of the late great Earle Hyman. What a wonderful man.

[@j.c.59]

@River .. "beautiful" AND smart. She (Nicki) and no one else can't ever turn around one day and use that to diss him that she once gave him a handout.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

🤢 🤮 I heard Nikki got her money from drugging and robbing men

[@generalgrievous9947]

It was a HUGE relief to me when he said the embarrassment and bad feelings only lasted for a "couple of hours". So many other people have one bad story or moment against them and it turns into something they can never live down

[@ImTheCookieMonster95]

Gosh I hope this doesn't end here! I hope lots of success comes his way and keeps coming

[@BriRog68]

Love love love this...faith in humanity officially restored. Our quote unquote president could learn a few things about being humble and giving to others when you yourself are on need. Geoffrey is a wonderful character actor and his talents far reach his work on Cosby. Many blessings to you Mr. Owens🙏💕

I can't wait to see him on The Haves and the Have Nots in Season 7!

Happy it worked out for him but I can't understand why someone thinks its ok to photograph a man doing honest work to make fun... Can't get my head round that.

If it wasn’t for them photos he wouldn’t have bounced back, but point blank he should’ve gotten more shine and a whole lot more roles right after Cosby show ended

[@isaacannanjr2371]

You gotta do what you gotta do to make a living. If he was a drug dealer they wouldn’t try to job shame him for that. Who tf cares if he was even working at McDonald’s a job is a job as long as it’s legal, you pay your taxes and bills you’re a regular working class citizen better than being a bum sitting on the couch all day unemployed collecting welfare benefits 💵💯 #HUSTLE
