In a recent online video, Shalon, the oldest son of comedian Mo'Nique, sets the record straight about the false narrative around his mother telling Shannon Sharpe about attempts to reconcile their relationship through prayer to the universe. Shalon states that both he and his mother know that this narrative is untrue and neither of them has any desire to make an effort to reconcile with each other.
Shalon goes on to express his disappointment with his mother's behavior and lack of accountability. He shares that his mother admitted to not doing the best job as a parent and even acknowledged that she didn't have much interest in him as her son. This revelation led Shalon to question his self-worth and struggle to understand the importance of a mother in a child's life.
Moreover, Shalon expresses that his mother's love for material things outweighed her love for him. He claims she would try to validate her love by showering him with gifts, but would call him ungrateful if he didn't respond as she expected. This pattern left Shalon feeling unloved and unimportant.
Despite these difficult experiences, Shalon acknowledges that he is not a victim and is happy with his life. He has learned valuable lessons from his mother, such as how not to love and the importance of maintaining his own identity.
Shalon also shares that he once hoped his mother would have a relationship with his daughter. However, his mother quickly proved his intrusive thoughts correct, showing no interest in connecting with her grandchild. You can hear more of what he had to say above.
