🖤 A Healing Moment Between Mo’Nique & Her Son, Shalon Jackson
Shalon Jackson, the eldest son of award-winning actress and comedian Mo’Nique, has publicly apologized to his mother after years of estrangement and social media tension that left fans heartbroken.
Now, the two have reunited—and the healing is in full effect.
🎤 Where It All Began: A Public Rift
In early 2024, Mo’Nique opened up about her strained relationship with Shalon during an emotional interview on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast.
She shared: “We’re still very much separated… Let time do that healing. It may heal it in time and it may not.”
At the time, Shalon didn’t take kindly to his mother’s comments.
He clapped back in a now-deleted TikTok video, claiming they were both uninterested in reconciling and calling her narrative “false.”

💬 The Apology We Didn’t See Coming
More than a year later, Mo’Nique posted a touching photo on Instagram embracing her son, captioned, “GRATEFUL!!!! I LOVE US 4REAL!!!”
Shalon followed up with a powerful and sincere apology video on TikTok, where he took full accountability for airing out their family business online.
“Making those videos a year ago was a betrayal… I was wrong and I shouldn’t have said any of what I said.”
He praised his mother’s love for life, her dedication to family, and even credited her husband, Sidney, for the positive changes in their family dynamic.
Shalon also expressed deep regret for allowing the rift to affect his children’s relationship with their grandmother.
🙏 The Power Of Accountability & Family Redemption
In a rare moment of vulnerability, Shalon acknowledged the strength of his brothers, the grace of his mother, and the wisdom that came from simply sitting down and talking things through face-to-face.
“Now these are some receipts that I’m very happy to share.”
His words served as a much-needed reminder that reconciliation—while difficult—is possible when both parties are open to growth and accountability.
