Meagan Good Responds To Michael Ealy Hug Controversy, Claims Viral Video Was Doctored
Meagan Good is fed up with the naysayers when it comes to her relationship with Jonathan Majors and how it’s perceived publicly.
On Thursday (July 11), a video went viral of her The Intruder co-star and friend, Michael Ealy, hugging her in a very gleeful and playful manner. In the version that many people saw, it appeared that Ealy completely ignored Majors—who was standing next to the Divorce In The Black star—and only acknowledged Good along with D Smoke and his wife, Angelina Sherie.
Good took to The Shade Room comments to clear the air. The actress confirmed that Ealy and Majors did “exchange a big hug first,” laying all rumors and controversial reactions to rest.
“So we’re just gonna edit out the first part of the video where Jonathan and Micheal exchange a big hug first and then speak life over each other — ‘before’ he gives me a big brother hug?” she replied, adding, “Lol smh super unfortunate how people don’t have anything better to do than project on others and intentionally perpetuate negative misguided commentary on life snippets they have no real context to. It’s sad. Sigh. But still, God bless yall.”
This wasn’t the first time that Good has had to defend her relationship with the problematic actor.
Prior to this incident, Good admitted that “everyone” closest to her advised her to not date Majors out of fear of public scrutiny.
However, the 42-year-old said she trusts herself and expressed on Today with Hoda and Jenna, “One thing I know is that I can always look in the mirror when I trust my spirit, when I trust God, when I ask God, and when I move to the beat of my own drum […] I take everyone I love’s opinion into account for sure, but at the end of the day, I’m the one who has to have to live my life […] I want to be responsible for the choices I make and want to live the life that I want to live.”
