Tia Mowry may be embracing a new chapter in her personal life, but one of her former reality show dates has unexpectedly found himself at the center of online criticism.
Charles, who appeared as one of Tia’s love interests on her reality series, recently shared throwback photos of the two together alongside a heartfelt message reflecting on their time together. While some fans appreciated his words, many others felt the post crossed a line—especially given Tia’s current relationship.
Fans Question the Timing
In his post, Charles thanked Tia for being a “safe space” and credited her with showing him the qualities he hopes to find in a future wife.
Although the message was largely positive, many fans questioned why he chose to publicly revisit their past now that Tia has reportedly moved on with artist Javon’e. The actress has appeared happy in her new relationship, leading some social media users to label Charles’ post as unnecessary and poorly timed.
A Comment That Fueled the Backlash
The conversation escalated after Charles responded to a fan comment that read:
“I thought she would get back with her husband.”
Charles replied:
“I thought so too.”
He also appeared to like another comment referring to his post as “Petty Thursday,” which only intensified the criticism.
Many users accused him of clout chasing and attempting to insert himself into Tia’s current chapter just as she’s moving forward in her personal life.
Social Media Is Split
Not everyone agreed with the criticism.
Some fans defended Charles, arguing that he was simply expressing gratitude for someone who positively impacted his life and answering a fan’s question honestly. Others, however, believe his public reflections should have remained private, especially considering Tia is reportedly dating someone new.
The debate has continued across social media, with many viewers divided over whether Charles’ post was heartfelt or an attempt to stay connected to Tia’s headlines.
As of now, Tia Mowry has not publicly responded to the viral discussion and continues to keep the focus on her new relationship with Javon’e.
