Tabitha Brown, vegan, actress and star of “The Chi” has responded to the daytime talk show host, Wendy Williams’ opinion on her announcement that she’s “retired” her husband.
Brown’s husband, Chance Brown, a former Los Angeles Police Department officer, supported her while she struggled to make it in Hollywood. Once she did make it big, she told her husband he could retire.
Williams compared Chance to her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter.
“I was married to one of those. ‘I make the money!’ and so on and so forth. ‘Go live your dreams. Open a business. Go, go, go.’ See how that turned out. I predict that this marriage is going to be on real rocky ground in a moment. ‘Live your dream’…” she said.
“They may invest in stuff and lose the money. They invest in something else then the money gets swindled or stolen. Then they invest again and he comes home and throws his bag down. She’s like ‘What? What?’ And he’s like, ‘I can’t do this and this is your fault. You’re over here making your money and stuff and had me quit my job.'”
“No, you work. Being a cop was a big part of his identity, he liked it but she came to him and said that,” Williams added.
Brown could have responded with a wave of shade, but her reaction was one filled with compassion and love.
“Wendy the pain you must be in to feel this way, honey, I’m so sorry. But listen, let me tell you this. Twenty-three years I’ve been with my husband, broke for a very long time together. Struggled for a very long time together. Succeeded for the last couple of years together,” she said.
The vegan influencer recently inked an audiobook deal as well as landing a partnership with McCormick for her own salt-free seasoning.
Brown continued, “I was his dog in the fight and he believed in me and we did it together for the last 15 years. I did every year with him in the LAPD and he did every year with me with rejection and nos in this entertainment industry. However, God has blessed me. I’ve been praying on this for a very long time and it has now come to pass,” she adds. “That is the power of God. It’s also the power of allowing God to be first in your marriage. That’s how it remains successful, we keep Him first. He is first in our marriage. Not money, not business, not success, but God. He’s first.”
Brown then prayed for Williams.
