Back in the day, getting snatched up in the street wasnāt abuseāit was love with a heavy hand. In this raw and unforgettable clip, legendary comedian and actress MoāNique shares a jaw-dropping story of how she got hit by a car while playing hide and seekāand instead of getting sympathy, she got her ass whooped⦠while bleeding. Then? She had to apologize to the driver.
This moment aināt just about a wild childhood memoryāitās a powerful reflection on how Black communities used to raise kids, how the village kept us in check, and what weāve lost in todayās hands-off parenting era. Mo’Nique takes us through Baltimore in the 80s, when your neighbor could smack you, your mama would double down, and nobody posted about it for clout.
She digs into accountability, community ethics, and the breakdown of cultural discipline with a spicy, heartfelt tone only she can deliver. If you’ve ever been told āfix your faceā or got slapped with love, this one will hit your soul.
