Mo’Nique’s Oldest Son Shalon Responds To Her Comments
Mo’Nique’s recent interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast has caused a stir, with her comments about her eldest son garnering attention. Now, Shalon Watkins Jr., Mo’Nique’s son, has stepped forward to share his side of the story.
In a candid response, Watkins Jr. revealed that his mother’s version of their relationship is far from the truth. He explained, ‘Faith without work is dead, and neither one of us cares to put forth any effort to reconcile with the other.’ It seems that their relationship is beyond repair, with both parties having little interest in reuniting.
Furthermore, Watkins Jr. conveyed that Mo’Nique doesn’t want to be his mother any more than he wants to be her son. This harsh reality shows that their estrangement is deeply rooted and unlikely to change anytime soon.
Addressing Mo’Nique directly, Watkins Jr. shared his frustration, stating, ‘Speaking to my mother directly, in my experience, will either lead to some odd newfound moment of clarity in regards to how she was as my mother or she retreats back to daddy to move forward with the conversation, and I’m tired of hearing my mother’s truths.’ It seems that he has grown weary of the constant disappointment from their interactions.
Watkins Jr. also shed light on his difficult childhood, revealing that Mo’Nique made it clear she did not prioritize motherhood during that time. He further claimed that his mother’s interest in being a parent only intensified after she married Sidney Hicks and had children with him. This revelation raises questions about when, if ever, Mo’Nique truly became interested in her son.
Shockingly, Watkins Jr. shared that Mo’Nique credits other female family members for raising him better than she ever could. It appears that these family members played a more significant role in his upbringing, leaving him feeling disregarded and unimportant in his mother’s life.
The truth behind Mo’Nique and Shalon Jackson’s estranged relationship is finally coming to light. Their lack of effort to reconcile and the contrasting narratives they present paint a grim picture. Will they ever find common ground? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more updates on this ongoing family drama!
