While having a conversation with her mom Mary, Brittani said, "We're engaged," to which Mary replied, "Since when."

Unfortunately, the situation between Mary and TJ, who happens to be the boyfriend of her daughter Brittani, took a sharp turn for the worse, resulting in a messy and complicated situation.

Mary told TJ, "I'm not going to allow her to be with someone who can't f*****g support her."

TJ left the conversation by saying, "Y'all won." Soon after, Brittani replied, "What kind of man are you? A wuss."

And now, the netizens are sharing their take on the whole matter.

A Reddit user said, "Is it possible that one reason why Mary many not like TJ is because he's black?"

Another user added, "I think she tolerates him because of Brittani but if they break up for real she'll show her true feelings and lean heavily into every negative Black troupe as "proof" the he wasn't good enough for her."

One social media user wrote, "The ladies daughter could be engaged to a millionaire her mom would still have a problem because the whole issue is her mom not wanting her daughter to have a life away from her."
