‘Let’s Stop the Cap’: Tia Mowry’s Latest Instagram Post About Wanting Attention Has Fans Telling Her to Rethink Her Separation from Cory Hardrict

Actress Tia Mowry is focusing on reclaiming her happiness amid her filing for divorce from her husband, actor Cory Hardrict. The “Sister, Sister” star’s latest cryptic social media post left fans gushing over the new journey. In turn, the post garnered the “All American” star more criticism for what fans see as his not appreciating a good thing while he had it. 

It all started over the weekend when the 44-year-old took to her Instagram Stories where she shared a quote from the popular blog page Third Eye Thoughts that read, “You look happier since you decided to let people lost you instead of begging them to choose you.”

The post was quickly captured by gossip sites that reshared the snap, prompting fans and critics alike to react. Several fans noted a particular change in Tia since the veteran star announced her plans for divorce earlier this month, including one user who wrote, “I can literally see the shift in her spirit, and all this time you could see her shrinking in his presence.”

That person added, “I am absolutely convinced that she is much happier now after begging this man for years to be what she needed.” Another person wrote, “Absolutely. The glow is just so different.”

Elsewhere, critics have taken notice of Tia’s online behavior since she dropped the news of their marriage, including one person who wrote, “If you not gone tell us what happened…. Please stop throwing shade.. we dk what you’re talking about…”  Another added, “I love Tia but something tells me Corey wasn’t the problem…..”

A fourth person commented, “Ohhh so corey didn’t give enough attention that you wanted so you divorce him instead of getting therapy ?”

“People be saying this and still be hoping for a phone call. Let’s stop the cap we all been there before,” added a fifth. 

As previously reported, Tia revealed online that she had filed for divorce in a Los Angeles court after 14 years of marriage. She and her husband were together for a total of 22 years, 14 of those in marriage, and share two children, a son Cree and a daughter Cairo. 

On social media, she posted a message telling fans that she and Cory would remain best friends as they begin their co-parenting journey.

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.
