The Akils are great writers and producers.Oprah made another bad mammy move along with her white masters by pulling this show.Oprah wouldn't pull this show off the air if it was a white show because we know how Queen Mammy Oprah love white folks.
Ppl can’t tell love from lust. Dudes check out girls who are physically the status quo and would overlook her superficial ways, conceitedness, her sense of entitlement, her spoiled behaviour all just to be with her body. But all that energy wears one out and off over a short time.
Loretta Devine is one of my favorite actresses. She nailed this monologue! No one could have done that scene like her. Great writing teamed with a true performer makes for high-quality cinema. Loretta should have won an Emmy a long time ago. This was a sample of her many unrecognized award-winning performances. When will writers, directors, and performers of color be recognized for the incomparable work they do?
Lmao. Bruh as a man stop trying to play victim 😂😂. She Checked her son and talked to the mother and justified the mother’s feelings she Got her son whom needed it together .
It’s so true a mother’s job is 24/7, even when YOU SLEEP. Even when the children grow up, her job still isn’t over. “A mother’s job is never over until she’s laying in the ground and living with god.” Even then she’ll always being watching over her babies. They deserve the utmost respect and appreciation.
Loretta Devine should have so many Emmys! Between Grey's Anatomy, Being Mary Jane and this; my goodness! The writing is superb and I hope it helped some parents learn to co-parent and to stop intentionally hurting each other.
I'm living this right now. My son is struggling with addiction. And while he's out there doing what he's doing, my granddaughter's mom works full time. During the summer I care for my granddaughter free of charge. That way it makes easier her mom to get ahead in life. I don't make excuses for my son and the choices he makes. But I will help with whatever I can. We have a great relationship! And on the other end, I am my son's support as he fights to stay clean!
@@sbrooks729Right, and Mama sent a "warning shot" when she tried to talk greasy after she kept him from retaliating, "You keep on running your mouth, and I just might let him."
"And you....having that baby didn't keep him." lol. Facts on fact on facts, everything stated in this scene! I felt every single word that came out of her mouf. (mouth..lol) This is amazing art imitating real life! It needs to be zapped into every Black co-parent's brain. lol
I'm glad that the writer of this story allowed this to happen... Often times the rebuke is one sided... I'm glad Loretta did this for both parties because both men and women need to see this perspective... And I'm also glad that she corrected her son when often times in society it is often portrayed that oh my son can't do no wrong... And that is absolutely false! Love all of this!
When I heard this on fb. I felt this. Because I just lost my job because my baby been sick and all the weight on me with no help. But God bless me with another and an increase in pay. I'm gone send this to my old boss and I hope she feel this.
I wish I heard this years ago when I was in Kentucky pregnant with my fiancee's unborn son without him because he chose to stay with his parents in Huntington west Virginia instead
Yessss🙌🔥🔥 dis b da trueee she was keeping it real its not alot of mothers out here dat is like dat & it is sad it nedds to b mothers out here like dis ☺️& baby wont never keep him & havin a loud mouth either big facts 🔥🔥
Not to take away from the power in this scene, but I always laugh just a little when she says, "Me and Bill, we'll take him" and the camera cuts to Bill and the expression on his face is like, "who is 'we'?" LOL
Translate Mama. Love the fact she was frank with both of them. That's what Love Is. My favorite part is when Uncle Bill say "That's enough" . Me I want someone who will love me like Uncle Bill loves Mama.💞💞💞💞
There is power in the moo-moo!! You can't like this unless you have one on!!! If this talk didn't snatch them into actual reality!! This scene was awesome and needed.
AGREED, because listen you have to effectively co-parent but men do not understand the freedom that they have. I understand choices but you as a man and a woman you made THIS choice together. Men go off get another woman have freedom to start over, while the mother has to raise this child by herself. Now paying child support and showing up every 6 months is not repeat NOT raising your child. You leave a woman behind, pop up with a new one and she's giving suggestions??? I mean what do you think you deserve??? Understanding? Kindness? Oh ok you want respect, well the last time I checked respect is earned not given. Not just because your a man and definitely not just because your the father. Having a child is about sacrifice. One person should not be doing all the sacrificing. So yes if you out pursuing your "dreams", falling in love and finding a new life and popping in when u feel like it. Yes!!! Your going to get the worse attitude i got and that should be understandable
Say it again!!!! Because this scene right here, oh boy 😒😒😒 how you barely giving any money, you live on the other side of the country AND we only see u every 6.months. She should of knocked his ass out for being a absent ass father and then demanding some respect.
It's not just mothers though my mom left my dad with 4 children and he treated us so well and then when I was 14 she waltzed her ass into our lives after disappearing and asked my father to do paternity tests and he found out non of us were his but he still treated us no different but my "mother" had the nerve to try to break up our family to get us to know our biological fathers .....this should be called a parents job is never done not the donor

It takes a real woman to call her son out when he's wrong.
Real shit.
Jordan Wilson right!! Because my ex mother in law condones her son behavior.. straight up dead beat and he’s a Pastor
@@PurposePusher2023
🤦🏿
My monster in law think her son 💩 don’t stinks. She would never talk truth like this and she’s a “ evangelist”!??
You called a thing a thing when so many wouldn't
The person who wrote this script is on the 💯. Loretta Devine brought this to life. ❤️
It's base on the producers love story.
The Akils are great writers and producers.Oprah made another bad mammy move along with her white masters by pulling this show.Oprah wouldn't pull this show off the air if it was a white show because we know how Queen Mammy Oprah love white folks.
@@mightyblack1 akil's MARRIED SIDE CHICK told of the abuse she suffered at his hands.....that's why the show pulled.....
No one could have done this better than Loretta, I felt it in my soul ❤️
We need to petition to get this series on Netflix.
That's a hard pill to swallow. To hear the words somebody that you once loved don't love you no more. Don't want you no more, that is deep.
Hell yea..
Yeah that's how it is though bro. That's life.
Ppl can’t tell love from lust. Dudes check out girls who are physically the status quo and would overlook her superficial ways, conceitedness, her sense of entitlement, her spoiled behaviour all just to be with her body. But all that energy wears one out and off over a short time.
Yes it it's currently facing this this scene touch
I still feel this pain every day and every night

She did win an Emmy for Grey's Anatomy. Where have you been?
Preach !
Mine also
Not to mention being an original dream girl literally
@@CeliniacForLife a white show about white stories I think he mean about stories like these
The writer and Ms. Loretta Devine brought this scene to life. It is the number one problem/mis communication between baby momas and baby dadies!
The number one problem is baby momas and baby dadies......not families
Amen!!!! Nobody knows how long daddy tried to hang in there!!!
Where can i find this movie?
@@dulsa49 it was a show that was canceled.It came on OWN network
Finally the WHOLE STORY....checking him and her!!
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
RIGHT!!!! Everyone stands and applauds when the man gets checked, but when it's flipped...
Lmao. Bruh as a man stop trying to play victim 😂😂. She Checked her son and talked to the mother and justified the mother’s feelings she Got her son whom needed it together .
Exactly. This science has only been posted with the father’s father getting checked when the mother was too.
FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT!!! A MOTHERS JOB IS NOT EASY. THIS IS NOTHING BUT TRUTH
Stfu about jobs you CHOOSE. weak ass people
She's the kind of Mom we all need and the Mother in law that would make a difference in the world. I'm so grateful for my mother...
It’s so true a mother’s job is 24/7, even when YOU SLEEP. Even when the children grow up, her job still isn’t over.
“A mother’s job is never over until she’s laying in the ground and living with god.”
Even then she’ll always being watching over her babies.
They deserve the utmost respect and appreciation.
I just lost my mom a few months ago! I hurts like hell!
@@paulalewis3389😭😭❤
Yea that can be true but the having a child is a CHOICE! You don’t get to CHOOSE to have a kid and then bitch about it
Your comment made me cry I'm 40 my mom 71 she still a mother and good dam mom❤😢
I like how she called both of them out.
She really didn’t call out her though just gave her a lil reality lol she ate her son up tho 😂
That was not a call out. That was for hee to self love and to MOVE on. She was stuck in a hope of what was no longer possible. More a reality nudge.
Loretta Devine should have so many Emmys! Between Grey's Anatomy, Being Mary Jane and this; my goodness! The writing is superb and I hope it helped some parents learn to co-parent and to stop intentionally hurting each other.
I felt that too my HEART!!!!! No one to pass the baton to..... My God!!!!!!!
Yess!
I'm surprised no one has put it into words till now...
This show needs to come back on 😩 she checked them so hard she made herself dizzy
This scene made me tear up. The absolute truth bombs that she was dropping. Somebody needed to hear it, myself included.
I’m on the same boat
She spoke this so eloquently and passionately as only Ms Devine could.
Damn this made me cry right away. I felt this scene soooo much!! Nothing but the truth!!
What movie is this?
@@melvaquintanilla2094 it’s a show called “Love is” I think

Good work. What addiction was your son struggling with?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That scene deserved an Emmy, NAACP Award and Standing Ovation for Ms Loretta Devine👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Some of the absolute best and most honest script writing I have seen. This scene was everything. It bought their entire situation full circle
I miss this show soooo much!!! It really hit home on so many levels!! I cried real tears during this scene...& even today watching this clip!!
Ikr!
Was thename of this show
@@frankcummings756 'Love Is'
I miss this show so much!!!!
What so this ain't new? Sooo is it only 1 season? 🤔
Loretta Devine is Amazing!!! Absolutely Amazing!!! 😊❤
I felt chills when she started speaking. The script, the words was brought to life. 😭
I have watched this clip so many times. It is so powerful. I don't think I've ever watch this clip without crying.
Hey, what's the movie/series ?
@@neidelmemLove Is used to me a show that came on the OWN network.
Same here!
Having that baby didn’t keep him
I felt that!
That was heavy, real heavy.
And I know she didn’t think the mama was gonna check her. 😮
@@TM-je5es mama only told nothing but the truth. She was also dead wrong for slapping her son. If he hit her back and people will call a woman beater.
@@sbrooks729Right, and Mama sent a "warning shot" when she tried to talk greasy after she kept him from retaliating,
"You keep on running your mouth, and I just might let him."
So thought provoking women especially mothers are so underappreciated.
"And you....having that baby didn't keep him." lol. Facts on fact on facts, everything stated in this scene! I felt every single word that came out of her mouf. (mouth..lol) This is amazing art imitating real life! It needs to be zapped into every Black co-parent's brain. lol
Loretta Devine is a treasure, ik she’s apart of the original Dreamgirls but still can’t believe she’s in her 70s!
I'm glad that the writer of this story allowed this to happen... Often times the rebuke is one sided... I'm glad Loretta did this for both parties because both men and women need to see this perspective... And I'm also glad that she corrected her son when often times in society it is often portrayed that oh my son can't do no wrong... And that is absolutely false! Love all of this!
True words, tough love, Loretta Devine is a outstanding actress
Loved this show so much. I wish it wasn't cancelled. It had so much potential.
I’m not a mother and I feel this 🥺😩
Woah, the mom calling her son out, that was heavy.
Best she know where she was with him
@@shalleikasimmons6259 Right
This show love is will always be one of my favorites. So sad it never saw a second or third season. I waited so long.
Loretta Devine is such a FORCE as an actress‼️🥺👏🏾
The reason why this woman haven’t won an Oscar is beyond me.
This is powerful.
I like the fact she called both of them out on their bs
Loretta D is and always has been such an underrated actor. She's magic in anything they put her in even when she is in supporting roles. ❤️🤎✌️
Every word Loretta said I cried through it all. You cry because the words are powerful but also because it's the truth.
I love how she did both!
She barely went in on the woman. Didn’t yell or anything.
Yesssss LORD, that's the Power and Dedication of being a Single Mother. 🎯💯 🙌This is coming from a Single Mother 💖🙏. Loretta Devine spoke that truth 🔥🔥
This scene is so powerful. I thank God for my childhood.
Wow. Speechless, when I thought I wasn't doing enough. I was doing more than enough. Much love to her and the writer
I cried so hard not only because I felt this but because miss Loretta once again made me believe her that's black girl magic
Thanks for posting
This hits hard! Co-parenting is hard, Loretta Devine fantastic performance on this seen!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️ this scene is so powerful and good
That was a powerful scene right there..nothing but the truth I felt every word she said

Agreed! She transforms into every single character she plays. One of my favs too. She’s very passionate.
One of my favorite actresses. These words were powerful
That is what you call “art”, I love it 🥰
I would love to send this to the father of my child so bad. But at the end of the day he is still gonna treat me the way he does and that hurts 💔
Send it 2 him anyway
When I heard this on fb. I felt this. Because I just lost my job because my baby been sick and all the weight on me with no help. But God bless me with another and an increase in pay. I'm gone send this to my old boss and I hope she feel this.
Amen.
I wish my momma would have taken this stance with my brother

I hate the controversy behind the creators of the show cause this show could’ve had multiple really good seasons
ALOT OF DEAD BEAT MEN NEED HEAR THIS
And so do a lot of women who can't accept when something is over. Both parties were properly addressed.
