’I’m Still In Therapy’: Holly Robinson Peete Shares Hilarious Story of the Time She Accidentally Texted Her Son a Spicy Photo

The next time Holly Robinson Peete decides to send her husband a spicy photo, she might want to make sure she taps the correct contact name on her cellphone. 

Peete comically confessed how she learned that lesson during a questions game during her May 9 appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”

Host Jennifer Hudson asked Peete if had ever sent an alluring photo to the wrong person. Peete then revealed that she, in fact, did — to her oldest son, Rodney Peete Jr.

“Because my son and my husband have the same name, so,” said Peete as the talk show host gasped for air. “One time I may have sent something that was meant for my husband.”

The former “Masked Singer” contestant informed Hudson and the audience about her son’s autism, which played a factor in his blunt response. 

She continued, noting, “This is the one with autism, right, so he’s very black and white, he was like, ‘Mom, why you sending me a picture of your butt?’”

A thunderous blend of laughter and screams quickly erupted from the audience before she revealed her clever response. 

“I was like, ‘Well, you know, I had something on it, honey,’” Peete said, “And you know, he was like ‘Oh, OK.’”

Before they shifted gears, the “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper” actress joked that she sought therapy after her blunder. 

“I’m still in therapy, that one will get ya,” Peete laughed. “I’m still in therapy.”

The accident scarred Peete so much that she changed her son’s contact name to “first son” to prevent the mishap from happening again. 

As amusing as the video was, many fans couldn’t help but be mesmerized by Peete’s timeless beauty.

“Holly you made my day too funny.”

“She is aging so beautifully.”

“Looks stunning.”

Peete shares her 25-year-old son with former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete. The couple also have a daughter, Ryan Elizabeth, who is Rodney Jr.’s twin.

In addition to their older children, Holly and Rodney Sr. also share a 20-year-old son, Robinson James, and an 18-year-old son, Roman. 

Elsewhere during the interview, the “Chicago Fire” actress said the “secret sauce” to her 27-year marriage is a 20-second hug to defuse arguments when either spouse is mad or upset with the other.

Recently, the Peetes hosted the new competitive dating series “Queens Court” with Tamar Braxton, Evelyn Lozada, and singer Nivea as the contenders. 

As a seasoned couple, Holly and Rodney aided the ladies on their journey of love with words of advice and encouragement to help prepare the divas for romance. They will return for season 2.

Fans can watch all 10 episodes of “Queens Court” now only on Peacock. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
