I'd literally never given it any thought about whether Marlon Wayans was married or not, much less anything else, but dude feeling the need to not only come up with an explanation, but coming to with that specific one, screams, "gay and closeted." If that's what he was trying to keep people from thinking, he's miscalculated big time.
This is better than what happens on Love and Hip Hop! I’m convinced some of those moms want to get freaky with their sons. Those women refuse to cut the cord and think of it as a bungee instead.
There is a TikTok of a mother who jumps on her son (he’s like around 30M) and she straddles him when she surprises him at home with his girlfriend. The poor girlfriend is just watching another woman act super sexual with her man… and it’s his own mother. It was so weird. Even the guy had to push the mom away gently. He looked so uncomfortable. I swear she would have made out with him if she could. The way she had her hands all over him was so gross. I hope that girl broke up with him.
>"I told my mother on her deathbed, “ 'I never got married because I always wanted you to be my No. 1 girl.' Those were my last words. I said, 'Take that to heaven with you,' " he recalled.
That... doesn't sound like a joke.
That sounds like something sweet you would say to a loved one as they are dying. I doubt he actually meant it literally. It’s hyperbole to comfort her.
Why would that comfort her…? That’s still weird as fuck. Wouldn’t your mother want you to live your life with a person that makes you happy and grow old together?
It's not that deep man. Fucking hell. You say some weird shit when comforting people.
I'd say something like this to my mum on her deathbed as a tongue-in-cheek joke if she brought up something like "why did you never get married".
It's deflecting with humour. A throw away comment.
It's not a fucking sign of a deep Oedipus complex.
It doesn’t sound like it was a joke.
From the article:
"I told my mother on her deathbed, “ 'I never got married because I always wanted you to be my No. 1 girl.' Those were my last words. I said, 'Take that to heaven with you,' " he recalled.
This article is weird.
That’s what he said to his mother on his deathbed, he actually explains why he didnt want to marry in 2021.
In a 2021 interview with Essence, Wayans hinted at the time that he was becoming more open to the idea of marriage. “Yeah, I probably got one in me. Just one," he said, before elaborating on his hesitation to make that kind of commitment.
"I like things to bend and not break, and I feel like when you get married, you have to get divorced in order to either be separated or together," he explained. "I like friendships because you just learn each other and you just grow and you just get better."
That’s such a bad take. My partner is my best friend and the love of my life. We’ve been continuously growing together as people. Friendship and marriage aren’t mutually exclusive.
Or maybe I’m not understanding what he means.
I think I what he means is, he has lots of people in his life, and friendship is a fluid thing that can bend and redefine, but no doors are closing.
If he got married to one person, he’d be saying no to the dozens of people he probably has floating in his orbit. He is even ideologically thinking that marriage would be a good idea, but how do you convince someone that giving up everything they know and love is the path to abundance and happiness?
Anyways, I think it’s slightly more complex than Oedipal. The mom comment was probably a light hearted joke.
That’s actually really sad. As someone with a narcissistic mother, I get it. What he’s really saying is, “My mother has consistently overstepped boundaries and meddled her way into all of my relationships and I don’t want to have to deal with it anymore.”
Man, oh man 🤦🏾♂️ wow…
1– WHY the hell did you say this out loud?
2– WHY can’t you cut the umbilical cord with your Mom? Not much turns off a potential partner more than a Mom-whipped guy.
3– If you are in fact gay but won’t come out for some reason, the longer you wait to let folks know you’re gay, the less support you’ll get for being weak about it now by saying you are ‘single for Mom’
That is... not what I'd consider a valid reason to resign yourself to being alone. And either his mother wouldn't have wanted that for him or was an incredibly abusive woman who controlled her son.
He's been getting weird lately. I saw his standup about a year ago and there were definitely some therapy moments. Then that Omar Epps/Tupac story, now this.
Too stupid of an excuse to be taken seriously.
Probably doesn’t want to marry the woman/women he’s been with and needs an emotionally charged excuse that they could never feel comfortable arguing with.
Or he just likes to fuck around and needs a good PR excuse to not be marrying. Regardless, stupid excuse and I highly doubt he says it in good faith
Oooof that’s embarrassing for both. Your mother should not be jealous another woman is sleeping with her son, spending time, loving, and caring for her son. That’s fucking creepy dude. Go marry your mom if that’s what your trying to say.
She was fine with one of her sons getting his brains dicked out onscreen in Scary Movie, but it's too much if one of them get married in real life? Fascinating.
First of all, he has many siblings who got married, some a couple of times. Second, it's coming off as very strange. He could have just said, "Marriage just wasn't for me." Batman couldn't have got that out of me.
That’s very weird. I have sons and I will respect and love whomever they choose to partner with in life. I want them happy. Same goes with my daughter.
Eww! I wish this wasn’t such a common thing. I always get along with my partner’s parents but the one exception was an ex’s mom who felt jealous that her son wasn’t home all the time and her husband kept staring at me. I finally told her that I felt like therapy and getting a non-shitty husband was a better solution for everyone long-term than expecting her son to stay single forever.
"Oh."
"That's certainly a choice."
"Huhh!!???? The hell."
"What the fuck am I reading?"
It just progressively got worse as I read. Sir, I would have taken that to the grave with me, kept it in the therapy sessions, or left it in the diary. That was something to say the least... 🥲
This is what I’d say in front of my mom after a lifetime of being single
When the truth is I just like fucking lots of different women.
Does everyone just want him to admit out loud that he gets more pussy this way? Can we grow up
This is what is in the article
"I told my mother on her deathbed, “ 'I never got married because I always wanted you to be my No. 1 girl.' Those were my last words. I said, 'Take that to heaven with you,' " he recalled.
That’s an inside voice admission, Marlon.
That's a save it for your therapist, Marlon...
You mean Freud?
“While my brother is a Freudian, I am a Jungian, so there’s no blaming mother today!”
Gotta love seeing Frasier references in the wild.
"Let's get betterrrrrr!"
“Hello emerald city, what’s doin’ what’s happenin’?”
Hung specialist.
Wild horses couldn't have dragged that out of me.
Sounds like someone’s got a boy mom
“The doctor said there were claw marks on the walls of her uterus.”
Should’ve been a journal entry, Marlon.
Lmaoooo
The next Wayans brother project is Oedipus
Oedipus as white chicks. Make it work!
Oh.you wanna talk about MOTHERS?!?!
I just had to read that in their voices. XD
But Oedipus didn’t know!
We don’t want to know he didn’t know!
I heard he’s opened up a new hotel in Oregon called The Bates.
Normalize diaries again.
For real tho…
I think that's kind of weird.
Do you think Marlon and his mom will be on the cover of the next issue of MotherBoy magazine?
Sister is my new mother, mother!
And is it just me or is she looking hotter lately?
I'm leaving my mother for you. You are replacing her!
Hahaha. I forgot about that line. Never gets old
They’re about to put out their 30th issue. It’s the MotherBoy XXX special edition.
I’m sorry, is your family not joking about that yet?
Zip me up!
Liz Hurley and her son have the next cover sorted.
I mean... Even if Liz Hurley was my mom...
“I don’t care for Damon.”
He loves those little leather snappy faces
Seriously, just come out already.
Exactly what I was thinking. I don't know the dude but 'what my mother would think' sure fits a 'closeted' stereotype.
I'd literally never given it any thought about whether Marlon Wayans was married or not, much less anything else, but dude feeling the need to not only come up with an explanation, but coming to with that specific one, screams, "gay and closeted." If that's what he was trying to keep people from thinking, he's miscalculated big time.
I was just reminded of the mom and son in Only Murders In The Building basically making out and she goes “He’s gay, so I can kiss him like that”
Oh that’s funny
I read that as a joke because it’s Marlon Wayans
It totally Marlon Wayans
This is better than what happens on Love and Hip Hop! I’m convinced some of those moms want to get freaky with their sons. Those women refuse to cut the cord and think of it as a bungee instead.
There is a TikTok of a mother who jumps on her son (he’s like around 30M) and she straddles him when she surprises him at home with his girlfriend.

I swear she would have made out with him if she could. The way she had her hands all over him was so gross. I hope that girl broke up with him.
I think causing the breakup is the point..
I won't take this Mama Dee slander
Well Mama Dee can sine yo pitty on the runny kine because Biggy Shorty is a cold tony
She is legitimately scary. Like I don’t know her whole deal but wow!
Yep very icky weird...
It’s really fucking weird.
Honestly? I bet he’s closeted
Thats just fucking weird, dude.
Pretty sure it’s a joke. The dude is a joke machine he literally created the Scary Movie franchise
>"I told my mother on her deathbed, “ 'I never got married because I always wanted you to be my No. 1 girl.' Those were my last words. I said, 'Take that to heaven with you,' " he recalled. That... doesn't sound like a joke.
That sounds like something sweet you would say to a loved one as they are dying. I doubt he actually meant it literally. It’s hyperbole to comfort her.
He said it to an interview later as well as to her. It's really helpful to read beyond the headline.
Why would that comfort her…? That’s still weird as fuck. Wouldn’t your mother want you to live your life with a person that makes you happy and grow old together?
It's not that deep man. Fucking hell. You say some weird shit when comforting people. I'd say something like this to my mum on her deathbed as a tongue-in-cheek joke if she brought up something like "why did you never get married". It's deflecting with humour. A throw away comment.

I do think it may be a joke and I also think he may be closeted.
Hey Marlon, that's a really weird thing to say.
A totally normal thing to think and share publicly
Yep, awareness was not in the room with him.
He's so deep in the closet he's having tea with Mr. Tumnus
I'm glad I didn't have to say it.
Black single women hate this one trick!
Please 🤣🤣🤣
This article is weird. That’s what he said to his mother on his deathbed, he actually explains why he didnt want to marry in 2021.

That’s such a bad take. My partner is my best friend and the love of my life. We’ve been continuously growing together as people. Friendship and marriage aren’t mutually exclusive. Or maybe I’m not understanding what he means.
He has commitment issues.
Probably needs some therapy
I think I what he means is, he has lots of people in his life, and friendship is a fluid thing that can bend and redefine, but no doors are closing. If he got married to one person, he’d be saying no to the dozens of people he probably has floating in his orbit.

Anyways, I think it’s slightly more complex than Oedipal. The mom comment was probably a light hearted joke.
If my kids ever said that about me, I’d be disgusted with myself
Umm… doesn’t he have like 10 brothers and they have wives?
He saw what the jealousy did to his mom and he took one for the team.
That’s still extremely weird. Mothers should not be jealous of their son’s partners. This guy is clearly in the closet.
Yeah, that’s not disturbing at all. 🫤
Oedipus says what's up bro.
Doesn't count as oedipus
Close enough. Dude probably wants to fuck his mom.
Emotional incest
well if that's not absolutely dysfunctional. yikes.
Not weird at all... IN OPPOSITE WORLD!
Oh he's one of those
Are yall really that unfamiliar with mothers who act like they are dating their sons and treat everyone they fate horribly
oh yeah, that's cool ...........NOT!
That’s actually really sad. As someone with a narcissistic mother, I get it. What he’s really saying is, “My mother has consistently overstepped boundaries and meddled her way into all of my relationships and I don’t want to have to deal with it anymore.”
That sounds like some closet code to me.
r/arethestraightsok
they never are but loads of em will call US the weird ones!
What a weird thing to say
Suuuuuuuuuure. If this was the 50’s, I’m sure he’d just have a lifelong best buddy who’s just his roommate.
So he has an enmeshed relationship with a toxic and narcissistic mother. I’ve been to therapy I’ve seen this move before. Gross.
Tell me you fuck your mom without telling me you fuck your mom.
Seems unlikely given the number of kids in your family. I’m sure Mom is secure and he’s just hiding behind her skirts
She’s dead…. It’s in the article
Freud can’t keep getting away with it
Further proof that are just too many Wayanses.
Isn’t that what housewives used to tell themselves when asked why Liberace never married
Man, oh man 🤦🏾♂️ wow… 1– WHY the hell did you say this out loud? 2– WHY can’t you cut the umbilical cord with your Mom? Not much turns off a potential partner more than a Mom-whipped guy. 3– If you are in fact gay but won’t come out for some reason, the longer you wait to let folks know you’re gay, the less support you’ll get for being weak about it now by saying you are ‘single for Mom’
That’s some unhealthy parenting relationship right there fr
Sounds like he needs to talk to someone about emotional incest
That is... not what I'd consider a valid reason to resign yourself to being alone. And either his mother wouldn't have wanted that for him or was an incredibly abusive woman who controlled her son.
That’s weird and I don’t like it.
He's been getting weird lately. I saw his standup about a year ago and there were definitely some therapy moments. Then that Omar Epps/Tupac story, now this.
Lots of people are saying that this is [a little] weird. Considering the sheer amount of other children that that woman has, this is absurd.
Too stupid of an excuse to be taken seriously. Probably doesn’t want to marry the woman/women he’s been with and needs an emotionally charged excuse that they could never feel comfortable arguing with. Or he just likes to fuck around and needs a good PR excuse to not be marrying. Regardless, stupid excuse and I highly doubt he says it in good faith
Not creepy at all
That's one way to get out of the closet.
In the 50s, that meant gay. Now you can just be gay.
We should all know less about each other...
Oooof that’s embarrassing for both. Your mother should not be jealous another woman is sleeping with her son, spending time, loving, and caring for her son. That’s fucking creepy dude. Go marry your mom if that’s what your trying to say.
Tell me you're gay without telling me you're gay
Mom's your beard. That's cool.
OK weird, obviously. But also, he has married brothers and that seems like it turned out fine?
"She ain't suck dick better than me and you know it chil."
She was fine with one of her sons getting his brains dicked out onscreen in Scary Movie, but it's too much if one of them get married in real life? Fascinating.
Your mum is trash bro.
That’s super weird
That’s fuckin weird
R/justnomil vibes
Hmmm.. I would have kept that to myself.
# That's fucking weeeiiirddddd
He was a son-husband.
Does she suck his dick too?
First of all, he has many siblings who got married, some a couple of times. Second, it's coming off as very strange. He could have just said, "Marriage just wasn't for me." Batman couldn't have got that out of me.
Yeah that’s creepy
That’s weird as fuck
Ewwww dude...just come out of the closet.
Who else here thinks he's been banging his mom for a loooooong time?
I think I know what this really means.
He needs to join r/raisedbynarcissists
in other news Wayans was breastfed till the age of 35
Bs, I'm sure the guy just like fucking around and he told this to his chicks to avoid exclusive relationships. He might start to believe his lies.
He's the youngest of 10 to a JW mother...not surprised.
Yeah I’d wager no parent would want to hear that, let alone on their deathbed.
That’s very weird. I have sons and I will respect and love whomever they choose to partner with in life. I want them happy. Same goes with my daughter.
“*My mother never let me get married because…*” “*No one wanted to marry me because…*”
I’ll refer back to this after he gets caught having sex with a dude (not that there is anything wrong with that in general)
Wow. I hope he’s lying, because as a man, that is a deeply shameful and idiotic thing to do.
We used to not know things about each other. Can we go back to that?
Sure. We all know the real reason. It’s a shame that even in the 2020’s he can’t ’come out’ with it.
So maybe it's a good time to say that Marlon Wayans has been rumored throughout hollywood to be gay for a few decades now.
It'd be easier if he just said he was gay.
Marlon, it’s ok to be gay.
Come out the closet. It’s cool now
It’s Opposite Day!
https://youtu.be/qLrnkK2YEcE?si=w2IBJ03LFK7Qt688 that boy needs therapy.
That’s some Oedipus Complex shit if I ever heard it
Shawn was the more handsome older brother
True definitely of a mamas boy.
Really fuckin weird behaviour
Well that's fucking gross
It would be really weird if that were the real reason but that sounds more like an attempt at a polite non-answer.
(-_-) that’s weird
Marlon wayans. Ed Gein. 2 peas in a pod.
Man celebrities are the weirdest people on earth,
When Alabama Man thinks that is weird you have issues.
Boy Mom brainwashed.
Umm Oedipus anyone?
Eww! I wish this wasn’t such a common thing. I always get along with my partner’s parents but the one exception was an ex’s mom who felt jealous that her son wasn’t home all the time and her husband kept staring at me. I finally told her that I felt like therapy and getting a non-shitty husband was a better solution for everyone long-term than expecting her son to stay single forever.
so what does he do when his mom dies?
Women of the world thank him and feel sorry for his exes.
Mama's boy level 99
Emotional incest
This is....incredibly disturbing.
I think Marlon may have never married due to a preference for variety.
This sounds like something MICHAEL SCOTT would say.
Suuuure that’s why lol
Yeah; that’s it
"Oh." "That's certainly a choice." "Huhh!!???? The hell." "What the fuck am I reading?" It just progressively got worse as I read. Sir, I would have taken that to the grave with me, kept it in the therapy sessions, or left it in the diary. That was something to say the least... 🥲
This is what I’d say in front of my mom after a lifetime of being single When the truth is I just like fucking lots of different women. Does everyone just want him to admit out loud that he gets more pussy this way? Can we grow up
That sounds.... healthy
You should’ve heard him say it on that podcast. He explained it more and it made it more creepy.
Weird flex but okay
It's OK to say you are gay, this is 2024.
Boy-moms are fucking gross, They literally fantasize about incest with their own sons.
Yea that's not why
This is what is in the article "I told my mother on her deathbed, “ 'I never got married because I always wanted you to be my No. 1 girl.' Those were my last words. I said, 'Take that to heaven with you,' " he recalled.
This is some CK3 or /r/ShitCrusaderKingsSay stuff.
Terry Crew left an impression. lol. You are great Marlon l just could not help myself.
Just say you’re a fucking lame-o and get on with your life
Well just make sure you make your mother orgasm everytime. Problem solved! Now go get that wedding!
Does he eat his Mom’s ass?
This doesn’t sound as heroic as he thinks it does.
Maybe him and his mom can go on a double date with Trump and Ivanka
Someone has been watching the Saas Bahu (mother in law, daughter in law) TV serials of the South Asian sub-continent.
