Doesn’t sound like Mo even considers HER child as her own. She didn’t give a damn about that boy and didn’t care whether her daddy did or not.

[@starrr2you]

That's not what I took away from Sidney's response. He basically said he wouldn't allow Shalom to call hom dad out of respect for his bio dad due to him actually being present. He said all 3 of the parents in the situation have a great relationship with each other. So, he wouldn't overstep and allow Shalom to call him dad because he has a dad.

Shalon is the kid Monique had when she wasn't ready for kids. He reminds her of her past life before fame. A lot of kids go through this when they are the oldest. The youngest gets everything they never had because the parent is more prepared to give them a better life.

[@lulukazhila6309]

Absolutely! I have first-hand experience witnessing what you just said with 2 cousins of mine. They're dad's aren't interested in improving the relationship with them because subconsciously they represent their past mistakes. And their existence is a constant reminder of that. I have an aunty who is somewhat similar to Monique in the sense that she doesn't have good relationships with her adult children because she was absent for majority of their childhoods, she never takes accountability for her wrongs, doesn't have good relationships with her younger sisters, & is a perpetual victim of everybody, & has trouble letting things go & affording her kids & her sisters the same grace she expects of them. Watching this exchange with Monique and her son reminded me of that.

[@michellelove8146]

THANK YOU!! I don’t know why people don’t understand that! This dynamic between her and her son is more common than we realize. Parents do not get a manual or handbook on parenting when children come into this world. Did we forget that Monique had her own childhood trauma?! Hurt people, hurt people…including their children Their is no “perfect Patty”!

[@lalac7207]

I wish she for once would tell syd to sit his a** down and shut up and handle this situation herself. The fact that he refused to see her son as his own once he married her is a huge red flag. But mo is a pick me, and it's obvious she hasnt truly healed from her own past. Now, for shalon, he might as well just focus on himself and his own family and seperate from the toxic relationship with his mom. In our community, that's something we need to normalize and realize that it's ok to separate yourself from toxic family members. Self-preservation.

What really bothered me about Monique’s response is not only that she didn’t really respond she had” “daddy” respond as he always does, but also the fact that they kept trying to throw in his face all the monetary things. Like duh, you’re a superstar. Of course you can buy him a car that doesn’t mean that you’re giving him a emotional connection or quality time.. but what also bothered me is the fact that he said you have a bad relationship with your father also and we have a good relationship. Like his dad could’ve been a deadbeat too. What does that prove?

[@brittneysperspective8433]

Sydney Hicks is the kind of man you never confide in, and you never accept help from. Anything you tell him or anything he does for you will be thrown back in your face the moment you don’t agree with him, or refuse to comply with a request. Sydney is the kind of man who saves old text, and only offers to help you, so he can use it against you at a later date. Sydney is the kind of sub human who keeps a tally of everything he does, and uses it as a weapon when he needs to control someone or justify mistreating them. Anyone who was ever in doubt about who/what Monique’s problem is, should be clear as day that she is in an emotionally abusive marriage, and her husband too involved, and too much in control. He is a master manipulator and a con.

[@hb2862]

Whether we come from two parents, single parents, rich parents and or poor parents, it really does not matter because the truth is most of our parents messed us up really bad. Even with the best intentions, we inherited a lot of generational dysfunctions from our parents and grandparents, aunties and uncles. I'm 45 years old me and my friends are just now realizing just how much our families either lied to us, screwed us up or laid their insecurities and issuses on us. A lot of the reasons we have messed up romantic relationships now come from our upbringing. There is no such thing as a parent without parenting faults. The best thing we can do as a parent is admit we got issuses work on ourselves and allow our kids to respectfully express their feelings.

Monique’s response to her son made me feel a way, how she let her husband be the spokes person for a situation between HER and her son hit home.. I love my mom, my favorite person, but she did that to me at times when I was a kid and that pain was something else. I felt unprotected, alone, and very hurt because I felt that I didn’t matter. And that’s the vibe I got from Monique’s response and I didn’t like it. That being said, although I’m side eyeing her as a parent because of this situation, it doesn’t take away from her situation with calling out Hollywood for their mistreatment of her.

[@RelatableTVwithDee]

Sidney is her manager so yeah he should probably be there in those meetings but he is a problem between the mother and son relationship. People are always trying to defend her. Also, he was making a point that she used to pray to God but recently switched over to the universe.

I haven't disregarded what the trio and netflix did to Monique but now it's hard to feel sorry for her. Their responses have opened my eyes on that husband! It looks like a very abusive situation. The nerve to call the son mentally ill when they objectively are. Monique for one calls Sidney her dad and Sidney hasn't even took father duties over Monique's son. Sidney is his uncle. How does that make any sense. Monique could care less about her son's feelings so IDC about her. Monique and Sidney are acting like typical black parents.

Ill say it again. People are giving Mo alot of grace because they think her interview was just like Kats. It wasnt. Kat told stories about he always chose his integrity over the deal and doesnt regret it,He is stronger and successful and no one can take it from him. Mo (outside of the Oprah and Tyler stuff) was making alot of excuses. She was lamenting at the deals she continued to take and regret in hindsight. I knew something was off the way she glossed over her having no relationship with her first child but considers her kids with her Kang a do over. This is not a woman who has taken responsibility. There are legitimate issues with black women being misjandled in show business but i think the issues are outside of that. She has always given pick me but people be so devoid of functional relationships now everyone wants to clap for the fact that she wants to be subserviant to a man she employs. She got yall fooled tho. I can both not like Oprah and still think it's bull that the parkers made 2 billion dollars. I dont get her end goal. She knows how these people operate and yet she so wants to be apart of their world and so do her damn husband. It seems like she is looking for a consolation prize,cause aint no way she think she is getting Tyler to admit wrong doing.

Well stated, Sir. All of the above. ❤❤❤

Not only was he in the video, he was doin all the talking. We get it. He helped him negotiate and buy a car. What ever age, we all need help sometimes. That doesn’t mean you don’t also deserve a loving emotion relationship. That went over their heads.

[@LulyTubee]

This is why I've been subscribed to you for years, since back in the days when you REALLY put your black V neck on lol. I don't always agree with you, I barely comment. However, your different point of view on things gets me thinking. Like, "oh ok Iet me look at it in that way." I appreciate it, it's growth, it's a conversation. Ty blessing to you.🍒

Always loved ur view on issues

[@missyb57]

My mom has told me “I did what I thought was best” but she follows it up with “But thinking now I can see how that wasn’t the best for you”. It gives me both the reason why she made the decision but also taking accountability of the result.

[@angeliafloyd3860]

Justin I know it was hard to speak on a person that u give so much praise for but Monique is full of it and I hope you see it now! I hope Monique gets help..her and family!🙏

[@andreac.6196]

You are cracking me UP talking about Miss Karma!🤣🤣

[@moneyvegas]

A lot of things can be true at the say time. The Oprah and Tyler Perry thing can be true, but also it can also be true she's hard to work with with.

[@latriciajennings4994]

Before I even respond to your video, her son has responded to it. I will say this though, the rumors about Monique being difficult didn't start with Tyler Perry. They started back in the 90s when she had her own talk show. Back then, she blamed Hollywood saying that it was because of her size. Monique been complaining over half my life. The question is, when is she gonna take accountability for HER actions & sit in it?

[@RachanaDixon-ty9qd]

Say it louder for the people in the back? Ppl never consider that when ppl were telling others that she was difficult to work with, that they probably also gave prime examples of their own experiences with her. I know that I would be curious on how they reached that conclusion.

[@bhdreamer]

I understand what Shalon meant.. I understand what he means when he says she’s not interested in him and his life.

[@kennediwhite5580]

Love this take Justin!!

[@Latte-girly90]

I’m sorry but if all your relationships fail (both business and personal) then you are the common denominator. Mo’ seems to have trouble with everyone.

[@chrisanOh]

Her man is

[@brendajohnson3173]

Mo has a lot of problem with people because she let's "Daddy" act and speak for her

[@cocoa_bean_queen]

Dropping by to show appreciation for this content. 💜😌✌🏾

[@CrystalM222]

You look amazing @King of Reads!!! 👏🏾🔥❤

[@lindseypoindexter]

Not Ms. Karma workin on “Claims,” honey. 😂😂

[@user-qq1yp1sm4g]

Well said King of Read👏

[@charlita25]

"uncle daddy " 😩🤦🏽‍♀️

[@lovely.nellie]

Not Miss Karma working on claims in the 13th century 😂🤣 This was probably the most insignificant comment on your video, but when you said that it cracked me up 😂🤣

[@keishiagatling8563]

I'm praying that you get better

[@nikkihluvs]

I agree with this commentary 100%. It is best if they, or anyone in the public eye, keep their personal business private. Unfortunately, it could continue to hurt her professionally. I pray for her family's healing.

[@carolallstar3317]

If Monique has a smoking gun recording of Tyler Perry (sic), why doesn’t she sue him in a court of law for defamation? I would like Monique to address this question.

[@yummybrown9188]

I think Daddy should let Monique talk cause this is getting outta of hand it making her look bad now.

[@diamcole]

1:08 The two are being conflated because of the irony. You can’t shake your fist at the lack of accountability while absolutely refusing to acknowledge and recognize the very real harm you caused someone else - and not a stranger, your child. Monique is a very talented woman but I do not believe her as it relates to her son and the fact that she supports her husband talking about his mental illness speaks VOLUMES.
