Mo’Nique’s onstage outburst occurred after she encountered an elder who offered unsolicited advice in response to Jackson’s TikTok. Recounting the encounter, Mo’Nique shared the elder’s blunt sentiment, echoing it with her own expletive-laden retort. The incident quickly made its way online, drawing sharp criticism from viewers.
Jackson responded to his mother’s tirade with a lighthearted TikTok video, expressing his continued love for her despite the circumstances. While his response appeared jovial, it underscored the underlying tension and hurt within their relationship.
The backlash against Mo’Nique’s response has been swift and vehement. Social media users condemned her remarks, expressing disappointment and calling for accountability. Many viewed her actions as reflective of deeper issues and questioned the appropriateness of airing personal grievances in a comedic setting.

Welp now, y'all can see Monique is very much a part of the problem. There was no lady in the airport. That is how SHE feels about her child, and every time she responds, she proves him right.
She's no different than the people who did her dirty. 🤷🏾♀️ https://t.co/WLgAiDS4Nx— 🪩 MADAM THIQUE & COZY 🪩 (@ABitOfKwansLife) February 18, 2024Advertisement

monique’s releasing those text messages between her and her son do nothing to disprove that their relationship is strained and that she’s not a good parent.

Every time Monique open her mouth about their relationship she continue to prove Shalon’s point, she wasn’t a good mother. https://t.co/tNAMBfIlkN pic.twitter.com/J2a4ZJQUYY
