They could’ve zoomed this discussion. Tamron could’ve asked: why mom didn’t go to prom, has mom gotten the opportunity to get glam and go out, is college paid for, does the daughter have a car, savings account, how are her grades…. Disclosing prices on social media brought the public into the conversation.

[@EricaEarth]

jealousy is ugly. Get your food stamps and be proud of it and stop putting rich people down.

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

Tamron started off by saying , this is a judge free zone. Therefore, she wasn't going to ask that. The one thing I love about Tamron is she seems to keep her word. She will probably never have any guest walked off the set upset by a discussion they decided on before filming.

[@kasmirsdaughter6211]

Why should Tamron ask these racist questions? Would you suggest these questions had the mom been white? Many times people waddle into conversations and insert themselves into it. Clearly they can handle it financially and Tamron asked that question. Assuming that basic things like a car and a college fund are likely not taken care off is just you looking at it from whatever low expectations you have of these people. And don’t for one second think I assumed you are white. I didn’t.

$16,000 is absolutely 💯 ridiculous 🙄 & absurd. It's completely insane. What a terrible example. But it's her money 💰. College is coming. Part of the problem of issue with some of our children is that as parents we do things and raise our children based on what we had, or didn't have and sometimes that's not a good thing. We end up hurting more then helping and sometimes send the wrong message.

[@scribe712]

How is that a terrible example to her daughter? Example of what? Are you suggesting she teach her daughter than if she has money she shouldn't buy nice things for her own daughter in the future. Sounds more like most of the people posting are salty and bitter people who are envious of that mother because she has money. And NO, I wouldn't spend that much on prom either. But the reasons people are giving suggest THEY are jealous more than anything. And that's sad.

Be careful. The world isn't perfect and the internet doesn't forget. Spending it is one thing, talking about it another. Stop telling your business.

Lots of Homeless or ppl needing assistance with back rent could have received a Blessing I would be more impressed than Blowing $$$ but everyone is not empathic and have desires to help so that's life

Yall saying she wasted her money because yall don’t have $16,000

[@leedebarros7434]

No way. What about helping other less fortunate people. Selfish

[@denettejones9488]

Selfish cause she spent her money on HER child's prom instead of helping the less fortunate. That's not her job it's the governments job

[@4islandbeauty]

This is crazy, why not celebrate someones accomplishment like graduation, weddings heck even put into a downpayment for a home. We all have different values so Ill just finish watching!

So what are you gonna do her SENIOR YEAR?????

[@charlotterichard9346]

I thought this was her senior year.

[@carmay3600]

That money could have been spent on a future: Car University Apartment Future utilities and food while in college Investment accounts Investment property On a prom it was a complete waist of money.

I need a prom do over 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had to make my dress, I went with a cousin because I was new to that school and we drove my God dad’s Chevy. The shoes were JC Penney-probably $25 😆 But the most important part of that time is that my mom was still alive. I would have stayed home to be with her. But was talked into going to the prom. My family and I still talk about that event. 😄 Sadly an added memory is that I didn’t realize I wouldn’t have my mom much longer 😪
