Tamera Mowry Says Husband ‘Is Not a Racist,’ Fans Chime In

Tamera Mowry is blasting claims that her husband Adam Housley is racist.

The actress did so on her talk show “The Real” Tuesday, Sept. 18, amid continued accusations against her spouse, who worked for 17 years as a correspondent for Fox News.

“There are some people who think that my husband is racist because he worked for a certain channel,” said Mowry, whose mother is Black and father is white. “I’m gonna look in that camera right there and let everybody know my husband is not a racist!”

YouTube commenters who viewed the program, however, disagreed with Mowry’s assessment of her spouse.

“Girl BYE! Tam, your husband is racist. Especially his views on July 4 was very questionable.”

“Tamera, honey, sweet little angel, God’s beautiful creation.. I hate to break it to you sweet pea but Your husband is a low key racist. You shaking your head like a bobble head is not going to change the fact that Adam is a racist. Don’t @ me, I said what I said and I meant it!”

“And yes you can be racist and be with someone of color…”

“I’m sorry but if you CHOOSE to work for Fox News, a channel that is known for being very racist, it must mean you agree with some of their views and their corporate culture. Maybe he is not a full out racist like some of the cohosts on that channel but he must agree with some of their views to be working and to be friends with them. 🤷🏿‍♀️”

Housely, who according to Politico left his position at the conservative news network in August to spend more time with his family, has battled this claim himself recently.

In August, he retweeted a Twitter user who said, “Being married to a person of another race doesn’t automatically make you not racist. (Example: Adam Housley & Tamera Mowry).”

“And the winner of the new idiot of the day goes to….drumroll….this clown #enjoyyoirsadlife,” he added in the retweet.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
