‘Now, Richard? Delete This’: Tina Knowles-Lawson’s Husband Richard Lawson Catches Heat for Comment Under Kelly Rowland’s Post

Kelly Rowland set social media on fire ahead of Halloween with her sexy costume and sultry video she shared with fans.

The singer left social media users panting as she completed the look with claw-like black nails, the signature eyelet mask and a glittery, ruby red lip. 

 

In the clip posted online, the Destiny’s Child songstress elected to lip-sync a seductive scene from Halle Berry’s 2004 take on Catwoman. Rowland’s husband, Tim Weatherspoon, donned a black hoodie as he stood with a straight face as she caressed his chest and face, and nuzzled her face against his. “You’re catnip to a girl like me. Handsome, dazed, and to die for,” is heard in the video’s audio. 

“He was trying HARD not to break character,” commented one person on the post.

“I see that lip twitching. Tim wanted to start hollering so bad,” wrote a second.

And a third commented, “Bruh is hilarious because he wanted to laugh so hard you are stunning & gorgeous.”

But, there was one comment that stood out more than all the others. Richard Lawson, husband to Rowland’s second mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, found the short clip to be nearly too hot for fans’ eyes. “Bordering on soft porn,” he wrote. 

His remark garnered attention and a few responses. One person wrote, “Now Richard? Delete this.” Another commented, “It’s giving Cinemax after midnight. Love it.” And a third wrote, “You’re mad that your wife isn’t cat woman this year huh?” To that, Lawson responded with a pair of laughing emojis. 

Other comments included remarks about the couple possibly tempting fate. “Y’all be careful in these married streets. It’s baby making season,” read one comment. Another person instead encouraged the duo to have another child. “Gone head and make another lil kitten,” wrote one person. Rowland and Weatherspoon are already parents to two sons, Titan Jewell and Noah Jon.

The Grammy Award-winning artist has previously expressed that their two boys are more than enough to keep her busy and happy for a lifetime. “I’m done. Two and through, two and through,” she said during an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show.” 

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
