‘The Acting Jumped Out’: Gabrielle Union’s Undeniable Devotion to Dwyane Wade Is Tested During This TikTok Challenge

Posted byBy Sierra Porter | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Actress Gabrielle Union is getting in on the fun in a viral TikTok challenge of several people repeating words from “The Steve Wilkos Show” episode of a woman sticking by her man despite the abuse she has endured.

While the episode is sad, it has become a funny viral TikTok challenge of many people participating. Dressed in a color block dress with her hair in a braided bun, Union sat in a chair while munching on popcorn, repeating words with Steve Wilkos’ voice in the background. “This is your man?” Wilkos asked.

“Yeah,” Union repeats. A photo flashes of her husband, Dwayne Wade, in a suit with his hands on his hips.

“Look at the screen,” said Wilkos.

“That’s mine,” Union shakes her head after a photo flashes showing her husband, Wade, with his hair all over his head. “I’mma stick beside him,” Union repeated after the woman.

“This is what you’re going to settle for?” Wilkos asked.

“I’mma stick beside him,” Union said while rolling her head at the camera and eating popcorn.

Fans of the actress found the bit funny and were cracking up in the comments section of the 45-year-old clowning her husband for his questionable looks while still standing up for her spouse.

“They have so much fun 😂 they don’t give af about negativity. Happy for them. Bless them. 🙌💪🏿🙏🏾.”

“THE ACTING JUMPED OUT AT THE END 😂😍.”

“You can tell she’s an actress; with the body language and facial expressions, she gave everything that needed to be given in this 🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

“😂That’s what they call UNCONDITIONAL LOVE💯♥️🙌🏽.”

“Lmfaoooo yes, claim him in all his ways 🥲.”

Union and Wade continue to uplift and support each other in the public eye.

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
