Oh boy, Marlon Wayans is letting the fur fly, and it’s not a hair-raising stunt in one of his comedies. This time, he’s taking aim at the self-proclaimed βEmperor of Mars,β Elon Musk, and his intergalactic drama over his trans daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson.
Marlon, whoβs 52 but clearly younger at heart, had some seriously spicy words on the Club Shay Shay podcast. Apparently, heβs on the verge of βdriving off a cliffββmetaphorically, of courseβafter hearing the zingers Musk threw at his 20-year-old daughter. Itβs like Elonβs been using a GPS thatβs leading him straight into the land of βNot-So-Great Parenting.β
βIβm not here for what heβs saying about his trans kid,β Marlon declared, like heβs auditioning for the role of βMost Outspoken Dad Ever.β βYou donβt just throw your kid off the parental rollercoaster because of who they are. Love your offspring, people!β
Vivian, whoβs one of Elonβs impressive bakerβs dozen of kids, had her own fireworks display in July. She called her estranged dad everything from βdelusionalβ to βpatheticβ and even threw in βserial adultererβ for good measure. If Twitter had a boxing ring, it would be filled with their tweets right now.
Meanwhile, Marlonβs got a personal tale of transformation. Last November, he shared that his oldest, Kai, is transgender. Marlon admitted that learning about Kai was like discovering heβd been living in a sitcom and just got hit with the plot twist of the century. But after a week of emotional rollercoastersβessentially his own five stages of griefβheβs now basking in the glow of full parental acceptance.
βIt was tough, like being the last person to find out the biggest secret at a surprise party,β Marlon chuckled. βBut getting to acceptance is key. It took me a week, which felt like an eternity, but hey, I made it! Some people might never get there, but Iβm proud to say that my child is still my baby, no matter what.β
Marlon Wayans is serving up some no-nonsense parenting wisdom with a side of laughs, and Elon Musk might need to take some notes if heβs ever considering enrolling in βHow to Be a Decent Parent 101.β
@clubshayshaypod βI have a #Tesla that Iβm about to drive over a cliff. I donβt like what #elonmusk be saying about his trans child. It makes me mad. You donβt treat those babies like that. You donβt disown your baby. Love your child! … Iβm sad to say some parents, some family members, and some people itβll take them a lifetime. Theyβll never get to that magical place that Iβm at which is just acceptance. Still my child. Thatβs my baby.β – #marlonwayans #trans β¬ original sound – Club Shay Shay
