Matthew McConaughey's Wife Camila Recalls MAJOR Fight With His Mom When They Started Dating

[@funchik93]

My grandma did this to my mom and today they have a mom-daughter relationship. I don't think it's cool in any way for a MIL to do so to her son's partner. Why be petty when you can be nice? Thank goodness, my MIL has always been sweet to me and I pay her back by including her, calling, giving her updates and everything. She deserves it.

[@trulyjeannette]

I think the MIL needed a Man and substituted her son as if he were her husband.

[@mahoganysoulll]

@@trulyjeannetteyep! Which is what a lot of mothers do smh

[@Gabriel-br4qe]

@@trulyjeannette yeah, that creepy boy-mom trope

[@Honeymoon1988]

What a nightmare. I have dated some men where their moms were way too involved in their lives. It’s miserable.

[@KygoCalvinHarris-xu4kv]

Relatable

[@StarLight-sl9ok]

They are playing the role of gatekeeper. It comes from a place of love and protection but it can be a lot. You gotta hold your ground and stay strong.

[@medalgear654]

God lady, you have no idea 😞

[@yankeegirl3380]

Definitely. I mean, I get that families are close but there needs to be boundaries. Adult children needs to establish boundaries and stay strong in those boundaries. Parents need to realize that their parenting is done and needs to let the kids make their own decision and be respectful. GOD bless. 🙏❤️🙏

[@rgdssd]

@@StarLight-sl9okthat’s totally unnecessary and unhealthy. I never had to deal with this with my MIL and my husband didn’t deal with this with my parents either. I call BS 😂

[@donnag7908]

I guess Camila can laugh about it now but Matthew’s mom was just being rude and nasty! Absolutely no reason to behave in that manor. I never want to be that type of mother in law.

[@venusretrograde6177]

Ikr. I’m glad they worked it out but why are people acting like this behavior is just ok?

[@anonymouslyconcerned]

Mama looking out for son. It is ok

[@ceciliawade]

I felt Matthew should of grew some balls, and told his Mom that her words, and the way she act is unacceptable.

[@venusretrograde6177]

@@ceciliawade exactly. There are plenty of situations just like this where the man’s mother ends up pushing his partner away. Those men just happen to not be Mathew McConaughey. There are ways to determine whether or not a person your child is dating is good for them without being a toxic boy mom and making their partner feel unwelcome or attacked. Like I said, glad they had the outcome they did but it usually doesn’t end up like this. The partner usually leaves or the relationship stays toxic forever.

[@ceciliawade]

@@venusretrograde6177 I highly agree!

[@sheenawinfrey3133]

I would hope Matthew wouldve put mama in her place

[@2b4evermusical]

Apparently he didn’t, so Camila had to take action. His mother probably wanted a pretty little white girl for her son. Someone that look more like her.

[@ceciliawade]

If this was me I would of told him, and his Mom off, and broke up with him/filed for divorce.

[@Coldstone8418]

He is her child. Her #1 priority,that’s all.

[@mahoganysoulll]

@@2b4evermusicalor she was jealous and wanted her son to herself.

[@lekis5975]

His mother has always been difficult at observing boundaries. She cross the line with Matthew so many times, Matthew was forced to block her, they didn't speak for YEARS.

[@aurorabriers4818]

what a horrible person, i dont care if they have a great relationship - you don't treat anyone like that

[@CrystalSicily]

Well his MOM must be very embarrassed now! Mom's really need to let there son's GO!!

[@anonymouslyconcerned]

No mom is not embarrassed. She is a true Southern lady. Both ladies, mom and daughter in law have strong characteristics and i am sure love very strongly too❤

[@CrystalSicily]

@@anonymouslyconcerned Yes. NOW...but she had to take a lot of unnecessary crap.

[@elizabethdevries8028]

She did a good job dealing with his mother.

[@talitam.8414]

Was this necessary though? The way people love drama never ceases to amaze me wheew! Just treat people the way you want them to treat yourself, the end. Why all the dramatics, why make life more difficult?

[@ceciliawade]

THANK YOU! It's toxic!

[@bellaapple2166]

Yes I agree! I am about peace anything trying to create chaos I release from my life. That doesn't mean disagreements won't happen but don't go out of your way to create it! The fact that she was provoking Camilla with racial undertones because she wanted her to "fight back" is just BS.

[@ceciliawade]

@@bellaapple2166 Agree! Me being Black, and American Indian that would of been a deal breaker, I would of broke up with him, and etc...As a Man dating someone in a ethnic background you should find that disrespectful, unacceptable, and say something about that. His Mom sounds narcissistic.

[@talitam.8414]

@ceciliawade Yeah I think that's excessive. She found a good man. They got married and created a family she was absolutely right to not let his mother destroy that, which was why the mom was acting up in the first place she could sense Matthew was serious about that woman.

[@HadassahNaomiC]

I cudnt deal with that. Calling me by his ex-girlfriends name? Nah

[@maeflower522]

Try dealing with a hostile sister of your significant other!! Now, it's a love-hate relationship!

[@ajohonly3721]

Specially the younger sister .

[@clarifyingquestions]

Sounds lie you hate each other more than you love him. Feel bad for the guy. Last one in is the first to go - so I guess that s you.

So happy for them and that everything is going so well for them. What an amazing beautiful family. I had my share of parents and parents-in-laws and relatives moments. And now treated with respect and honor. Matthew McConaughey hit the jackpot and has an amazing beautiful wife and family.

[@Yelkz367]

Thank goodness my MIL is not only kind and loving, but she's not a childish woman who feels she needs to compete with her son's love interest. This is not an uplifting story, its a pathetic story. No woman should bully another woman just to "test" her. Grow up and stop being stewards of patriarchy. And mothers who are obsesed with your sons and feel like you need to compete, grow up, stop the foolishness because its creepy and gross. Again, I feel sooooo blessed to have my MIL who has been nothing but kind and loving and welcoming, as she should be to anyone who loves her child.

[@MrAkaacer]

All family tests each other. Gawd, if you think your mil is difficult, imagine how your spouse feels. You're either part of the family or you're not. If you're part of the family then you have to fight like family. The fights can sometimes be mean and dirty, but at the end of the day family protect each other no matter what. I fight with my in-laws just as I would fight with my siblings, they're family now, so I don't hold back and I expect them to do the same.

[@mariadasgracasbarreto8856]

Beautiful, glad it's worked out and Camila you are so f .. stunning it ain't funny. I am glad you stuck up for yourself ,no matter what happens you came in for love not coins. Bravo to you.

[@ceciliawade]

My thing is why would you marry, date, or still deal it if your Man's mother is like that??? If my Man's Mom was like that we would file for divorce. How his Mom feels about you says what he feels about you also. I'm thankful I didn't half to deal with this with my Man.

[@MrAkaacer]

Chill. She's telling a funny story. She's not telling you the story where her mil gives her the love and support of a mother.

[@mercedesroxanne-gk8vs]

So he's not truly in love with his wife, lol. Cmon now. A man who truly loves a woman would never have allowed this. And his mom knew it, that's why she treated her this way. Guys, the longevity of a marriage has nothing to do with the quality.

NOT BLACK 😂😂😂

[@l.mendes547]

Here we go with the American ignorance....Camilla is AFRO-Brazilian! Just like you had black slaves ancestry in North America, you had it in South America and Caribbean it's THAT simple! You Americans don't define what is black like you are THE only ones with slavery history, when black slavery happened allover the Americas. If she's not Afro-Brazilian then kindly REMOVE the term African-american as well, cause you're not Africans!

[@katiel1979]

Totally half at least

[@talitam.8414]

@dextermoore278 She’s Brazilian from mixed race ancestry - Portuguese, black, indigenous. 'Brazilian' is not a race, it's a nationality just like American is not a race but a nationality. There are black Brazilians, white Brazilians, Asian Brazilians, native/ indigenous Brazilians, mixed-race Brazilians, Brazilians from Lebanese ancestry etc.

[@themultipurposecenter4000]

How by calling, her racial slurs, making fun of her accent, and mocking her, and being rude and disrespectful? There are other ways for you to protect your son other than being downright disrespectful and low-key racist.

15 years later, 3 kids, most grown up already and he's having the time of his life. He hit the jackpot. Plus, she is way richer than him.

[@PRadzzzGY]

Do better? How? What makes you an expert on what works for him or deserves? What an absolute clown. The mother was outright disrespectful, if mums cling on to their sons too hard, they might as well start sleeping with them cos no other woman would want to.
