‘It’s Me, I’m the Drama’: Tia Mowry Shares Instagram Video Showing Fans Where Her Children Get Their Comical Dance Moves

It’s safe to say there’s one thing Tia Mowry’s children inherited from her: her off-beat comical dance moves. In order to prove it, the 44-year-old actress uploaded a video onto Instagram where fans can clearly see Tia’s goofy personality has been passed down to her two kids, Cree, 11, and Cairo Tiahna, 4, Hardict. 

Tia posted a video filled with various clips of Cree and Cairo dancing as an audio from Alexa Jean Brown played overtop with the words, “Do you ever wonder how your kids turned out the way they did, and then one day realize it’s from you?”

The comical video of her children showing off their dance moves quickly transitioned to mini clips of Tia as she danced and crawled around in behind-the scene footage of her reel videos. 

She explained to her 10.8 million followers, “So far they got my dance moves [laughing emoji] What traits do you guys see in your kids?”

Over 400,000 entertained fans played the video along with nearly 600 amused individuals commenting on the similarities they see between them and their children.

“The crying be driving me crazy then I realize.. It’s me, I’m the drama. My kids picked up the extra clean trait they also picked up the I want to stay home trait”

She added, “The attitude, he has my attitude and sarcasm it drives me crazy!”

“My kids talk too much s–t, and clap back so quick. First of all I didn’t do that as a kid, I waited until I was full grown but I got karma anyway!”

In the past, Tia has had to defend her name when some followers expressed that her kids favor their father, her husband, Cory Hardict more than her. Although that may be true, people cannot deny Tia’s goofy spirit runs deep in her children’s bones. 

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.
