Latest / Let's Ask the Mamas! / Celebrity Name Dropping
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's, why
- 0:02Speaker 1: are so many kids of celebrities dropping their dad's last name? Well,
- 0:05Speaker 1: let's ask our American mama's.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Mama, Mama, and joining us now are American mama's Terry.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Nedville and Kimberly Burtherson. So apparently Brad Pitt and Angelina
- 0:26Speaker 1: Jolie's daughter when she turned eighteen recently she got rid
- 0:30Speaker 1: of Brad Pitt's last name. Obviously, that was a divorce
- 0:35Speaker 1: that had a lot of acrimony in it. We don't
- 0:37Speaker 1: know all the details in it, but it did not
- 0:40Speaker 1: end well to begin with. And it kind of seems
- 0:42Speaker 1: like since Joe Lee got the kids, she also got
- 0:45Speaker 1: the narrative.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Is that fair to say?
- 0:48Speaker 3: I saw that Tom Cruise's daughter did the same thing yesterday.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Sorry Cruise, Oh really, yeah, she did the same thing.
- 0:54Speaker 3: I feel like this is that last ditch effort to
- 0:57Speaker 3: stick it to your dad. Yeah, you know, what's the
- 0:59Speaker 3: one thing that could hurt him in that more?
- 1:02Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what this is.
- 1:04Speaker 4: Well, and I also think that it probably and this
- 1:07Speaker 4: is so terrible. I'm of the mindset love your children
- 1:12Speaker 4: more than you hate your ex. And I feel like
- 1:15Speaker 4: these children who are with their mothers the entire time,
- 1:19Speaker 4: like there's I don't think they get any time with
- 1:22Speaker 4: their fathers. I think that the mothers, I won't say brainwashed,
- 1:26Speaker 4: but they have pushed a narrative about their father and
- 1:30Speaker 4: it's almost like, Okay, we're going to show our allegiance
- 1:34Speaker 4: to our mother by taking her last name, and that way,
- 1:38Speaker 4: not only will it stick it to my dad, but
- 1:41Speaker 4: it will make him look terrible in the eyes of
- 1:43Speaker 4: the public because they have to put it in the paper.
- 1:46Speaker 4: And you change your name, you have to put that
- 1:48Speaker 4: in the paper for some reason, and so everybody. So
- 1:51Speaker 4: now it's being talked about. So from what I understand,
- 1:54Speaker 4: as far as Brad Pitt, apparently this has crushed him.
- 1:57Speaker 4: This you know, ten years ago is I think when
- 1:59Speaker 4: this all happened on the airplane. But he has since
- 2:02Speaker 4: sobered up. He's an AA member and he has gotten
- 2:05Speaker 4: his life on track. He's tried so hard with the kids.
- 2:08Speaker 4: But I don't think Angelina wants that. I think she's
- 2:11Speaker 4: very selfish. Think about her and what she did to
- 2:13Speaker 4: her father and now what she did, you know, after
- 2:16Speaker 4: she broke up a marriage then she ruins. Yet she
- 2:21Speaker 4: ruins this man, and I'm sure that that was terrible
- 2:25Speaker 4: on the plane, but she didn't have to continue to
- 2:27Speaker 4: do what she has done to him all these years.
- 2:29Speaker 4: Very vindictive.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Well she said. She was quoted saying, I just want
- 2:32Speaker 3: everybody to be happy. I just want everybody like Jelena
- 2:36Speaker 3: said that. Yeah, I'm like, yeah, you want everybody to
- 2:38Speaker 3: be happy after you got your way, because this makes
- 2:40Speaker 3: you look like the victor. This makes you look like
- 2:42Speaker 3: you one. You've been chosen. They think you're the goddess
- 2:46Speaker 3: mother and they hate their dad, and you were the
- 2:48Speaker 3: reason for that because you could have nurtured that. You
- 2:51Speaker 3: could have been wise, but you chose not to. We
- 2:53Speaker 3: saw it firsthand with a family member. We saw a
- 2:57Speaker 3: man in our family. The exact same thing happened to
- 3:00Speaker 3: him with his ex wife. She hated him so much
- 3:03Speaker 3: and they have the child, They had the children, So
- 3:05Speaker 3: it's just like beating into them, grooming them basically to
- 3:09Speaker 3: hate what it was.
- 3:11Speaker 1: And that's that's not just a thing amongst celebrities. I
- 3:13Speaker 1: mean that can be a thing that can be very
- 3:15Speaker 1: common in divorce across the spectrum where you know the
- 3:21Speaker 1: parent and again not necessarily just mom's side, but moms
- 3:24Speaker 1: usually get custody and that you know, the bashing continues.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Right, think about this, if you truly love your children,
- 3:35Speaker 4: and it's so important to have the father figure I'm saying,
- 3:37Speaker 4: a healthy father, a healthy father. So when you're married
- 3:41Speaker 4: to somebody, let's say that Kevin and Steel. You know,
- 3:44Speaker 4: when Steal sixteen and maybe went to head to head
- 3:47Speaker 4: or whatever. My job as a loving mother is to
- 3:51Speaker 4: do damage control with that and remind Steal how much
- 3:54Speaker 4: his father loves him and will do for him, and
- 3:56Speaker 4: then talk to Kevin. That's what you do in a
- 3:58Speaker 4: loving because you know that's going to be an important relationship.
- 4:01Speaker 4: So the people who have had parents who are divorced
- 4:05Speaker 4: and they've grown up now they are adults that have
- 4:07Speaker 4: had parents who have had those parents continue to not
- 4:12Speaker 4: say anything negative about the other parents, just love them,
- 4:15Speaker 4: show up at these events, be cordial to each other,
- 4:17Speaker 4: even if secretly they can't stand each other. Those well
- 4:20Speaker 4: rounded adults now say that was the greatest gift they
- 4:23Speaker 4: could have received from their parents is that they wouldn't talk.
- 4:26Speaker 4: That each parent would not talk negatively about the other parents,
- 4:30Speaker 4: and that helped them to be able to grow in
- 4:32Speaker 4: a stable environment and feel good about who they came from.
- 4:37Speaker 1: It's very, very, I think important, and as you point out,
- 4:41Speaker 1: it is really important for kids to have dads in
- 4:43Speaker 1: their lives. Absolutely that kids that don't have dads in
- 4:46Speaker 1: their lives much more likely to commit crimes, most of them,
- 4:48Speaker 1: more likely to get on drugs, much more likely to
- 4:50Speaker 1: be pregnant as teenagers. I mean, just the data that
- 4:53Speaker 1: goes with where kids don't have dads in their lives,
- 4:56Speaker 1: it's tragic.
- 4:57Speaker 4: I think this is going to backfire too, because we
- 4:59Speaker 4: have an aunt who kept her children away from our uncle,
- 5:04Speaker 4: her ex husband. Well, years later they discovered that what
- 5:09Speaker 4: she told them was a lie. So they were kept
- 5:11Speaker 4: away from their dad for like twenty years. So as adults,
- 5:14Speaker 4: one of them, one of the sons, found him and
- 5:18Speaker 4: discovered that that wasn't true, and he was broken hearted
- 5:22Speaker 4: that all of that time had passed without having a
- 5:24Speaker 4: relationship with his own father. And then shortly after that
- 5:26Speaker 4: the father died and.
- 5:28Speaker 3: In his relationship with his mother became yeah.
- 5:30Speaker 4: Because it was like that's it. He was felt so
- 5:33Speaker 4: betrayed by his mother.
- 5:35Speaker 1: If you like to ask, our American mama's a question.
- 5:37Speaker 1: You can use their last name.
- 5:39Speaker 4: It's fine.
