00:00Tia Mowry entered into clap-back season with one of her recent IG posts.
00:06She posted a split photo of a bikini-clad Nicki Minaj next to a young Lisa Bonet
00:11wearing a loosely fitted outfit when she was on The Cosby Show.
00:14Tia's caption read,
00:15Not that there's anything wrong with the other girls, but this is so me,
00:19referring to how she preferred to dress like Lisa rather than Nicki.
00:22Well, the Barbies went into full attack mode accusing Mowry of body shaming and bullying.
00:28Tia quickly amended her caption to add,
00:30Nobody is shaming anybody. Please don't read into it.
00:33Geesh.
00:34Okay, so is this a slay? Even though Tia ended up deleting the post,
00:38kudos to her for clapping back at the Barbies before she hit the delete button.
00:41She made sure to clarify what she meant and told everyone to simmer down.
00:45Or is this shade? Tia should have been a little more selective with the meme she decided to post.
00:50We can see how the meme could possibly be offensive to some.
00:53Okay, so on the count of three, slay to shade. One, two, three.
00:56Oh, we got a slay. Slay. Oh, everybody thinks it's a slay.
00:59Okay, Charlie, I'll start with you. Why is this a slay?
01:01You know, this is Tia Mowry we were talking about.
01:03I think that's not in her character.
01:04Right.
01:05I think she was clear from the beginning that she meant no shade.
01:07You know, and I think the real shaming lately with online culture is that if you say something that people don't agree with,
01:13and they don't like what you have to say, then they bring everybody to say you're an awful person.
01:17And that's not always the case. I mean, honestly, Nicki didn't seem upset.
01:19Right. True.
01:20And Nicki would be the first one.
01:21She'd be the first one to say.
01:22To let her know.
01:23Good point. Tracy?
01:24Yeah, I'm on the same page because I feel like her track record definitely shows that she's more halo than horns, you know?
01:30Right, right.
01:31I just don't see her of, like, slender, angelic fingers creating the meme.
01:35That's a different level of, like, being an idiot.
01:39But I really feel like, okay, she probably saw it just, like, swimming down her timeline, and she was like, oh, shoot.
01:45I definitely relate to that.
01:46Right.
01:47And then she posted it out of impulse.
01:48Mm-hmm.
01:49Now she learns, you know, in a very harsh way.
01:51Right.
01:52Which all of us have gone through.
01:53But, you know, know better, do better.
01:55And I think she's good.
01:56I think she's good.
01:57Yeah, you're right.
01:58It's Tia.
01:59No, I think I stand by what she said because it's great to see when women stand up for their beauty.
02:04Mm-hmm.
02:05You know, and they actually just, you know, claim, this is who I am.
02:07Mm-hmm.
02:08And I love when people stand up for themselves, period, and speak their mind.
02:10I think we're too scared to do that in 2015.
02:12That's true.
02:13So when you see honesty and what they truly feel when it's not really disrespectful, you
02:17gotta, you know, support it.
02:18So I think it's a slay.
02:20All right.
02:21All right.
02:22Slay, slay, slay.
02:23We'll see if y'all all see me on the same page by the end of the show.
02:25All right.
02:26This topic definitely got a lot of buzz on our Facebook page.
02:29Let's check in with our Facebook family.
02:30Kimberly Jefferson said, Tia said nothing wrong.
02:33She and her twin sister are two of the most classiest ladies in the business, which is kind of
02:37co-signing what you said, Charlie.
02:38They are not about negative shaming or anything, or shaming anyone else to cause drama.
02:43Keep doing you, Tia.
02:44All right.
02:45Thanks, Kimberly.
