The Messy Public Feud Between Mo’Nique and Her Son Shalon Jackson
Shalon’s Perspective: Accusing Mo’Nique of Prioritizing Fame Over Motherhood
Shalon Jackson hasn’t held back when it comes to calling out his mother, the legendary comedian Mo’Nique. In a scathing TikTok video, Shalon accused his mom of violating his privacy and boundaries by publicly sharing their private text messages – some of which were over three years old.
“I guess the intelligent thing to do when assuming your son is having a mental episode is post personal messages that are three years old,” Shalon said, clearly frustrated with his mother’s actions. Many of his fans agreed, expressing their dismay that Mo’Nique would expose such intimate details about her son’s life.
One fan wrote a lengthy response, saying, “As a mother of a young adult son- whom I often disagree with, I think it’s the ultimate violation to post intimate discussions between you and he. A group of people you do not know- do NOT need to know your son’s credit issues, the plans for their midwifery or what they ate for dinner. You do not have to do this. You do not owe anyone any more details than has already been given.”
Shalon also claimed that his mother cares more about fame than being a good mother. “Your son expressed that you have violated his boundaries as your child. He also expressed that you care more about fame than motherhood,” the fan continued.
Mo’Nique’s Response and Actions: Defending Her Motherhood
In response to Shalon’s TikTok, Mo’Nique took to Instagram to share screenshots of text messages from 2020 and 2021, writing, “HEY MY SWEET BABIES. HERE ARE THE RECEIPTS FROM A MOTHER WHO ALLEGEDLY DOES NOT LOVE HER SON. WE ARE SHARING THIS WITH YOU SHALON & THE COMMUNITY! SOME WILL COMPLETELY GET IT OTHERS WON’T. WE LOVE US 4REAL.”
Prior to that, Mo’Nique had posted a lengthy video calling out her son, preaching patience while also addressing some of the specific claims he made. Furthermore, her father reminded Shalon of the help that Mo’Nique had provided for him when they last saw him “three years ago”.
Public Reaction and Analysis: Fans Weigh In on the Messy Feud

The public drama has also raised questions about the dynamics of their relationship and the potential impact on their public image. As one fan noted, “Your posture and your response has dictated that he was correct in his assessment.”
