Mo'Nique's Oldest Son Responds To Her "False Narrative" In Viral Q&A

Mo’Nique’s oldest son, Shalon Jackson, has spoken on their estranged bond following the comedian’s viral appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast.

In a nearly 10-minute TikTok video, Jackson responds to the portion of the interview where the Precious star addresses her “false narrative about her praying to the universe” to reconcile their relationship.

Jackson, who is also a stand-up comedian, began by explaining he wrote down his response to avoid getting emotional or caught up when sharing his side of the story.

“I would like to free her from having to continue telling that lie,” detailed Jackson. “Faith without work is dead, and neither one of us cares to put forth any effort to reconcile with the other. We are separate as she put it because she doesn’t care to be my mother any more than I care to be her son.”

He continued to explain that neither party has reached out to the other in some time, adding that Mo’Nique’s current husband does not acknowledge him while she discusses their troubled past in the viral interview.

“Neither one of us has had the desire to reach out to the other in a very long time and I don’t think either of us anticipates that feeling returning,” he said, adding “I’m tired of hearing my mother’s truths news flash…standing in your truth doesn’t make you noble.”

He continued to add, “Responding this way allows me to say my peace uninterrupted. To all those wondering, why say something now? Call it a form of therapy,” later sharing that Mo’Nique admitted to him she did not do her best job.

“To be completely honest and fair, those were things that I was willing to get over. Nobody’s perfect, we’re all human. But, my mother showed a clear lack of humility, compassion, [and] consideration when taking any level of accountability for those things. My mother does a fantastic job of acknowledging a lot of things, but she doesn’t take accountability very well and anything that she may take true accountability for is only at her convenience in my experience.”

When speaking to Shannon Sharpe, Mo’Nique confessed her plan to “Let time do that healing,” with her and her son’s fractured connection.

“It may heal it in time and it may not. And that’s something that we as parents have to say, ‘Listen, I’ve done what I can do. I’ve taken accountability for it. Now, it’s up to you,” the 56-year-old continued to explain.

Elsewhere in the nearly three-hour interview, Mo’Nique spoke about her relationships with Tyler Perry, Oprah, Katt Williams, and more. Watch Shalon Jackson’s TikTok below and the full episode of Club Shay Shay above.
