I was once brain washed into thinking Jaleel White was problematic and arrogant because I never saw his side of things. Then I realized him, Jo Marie Payton and Reginald VelJohnson have had a 33 year long beef. Jaleel White is 46 years old now this beef started when he was 13 and Reginald and Jo Marie where pushing 40 but they were in their late 30s and I am supposed to believe that Jaleel a 13 year old boy was difficult? I also remember reading how how Reginald was upset for the kid playing basket ball. Why? Then hearing Jo Marie say “Jaleel White didn’t do anything magnificent as if he wasn’t the reason Family Matters got Nine seasons. I just don’t get having beef with someone who could be your son.

#submission #⬆⬆⬆⬆ THIS!!!#you weren't the only one who assumed that jaleel was problematic #it seems like almost everyone i see just takes jo marie and reggie's word for it that he was problematic #and i think it has to do with the fact that when you see things in the news about it... it's because jo marie and reggie are running off...#their mouths about jaleel #i've heard jaleel say very little about jo marie and reggie and when he does it's usually very vague #he is so much kinder to them than they are to him #but then when you hear him talk about it you realize that they were the problem #that they were jealous of a child and the fact that he was quote un quote taking the spotlight away from them #which is so childish and immature of grown ass adults to make a child feel bad about that #they tried to boss him around and they tried to make him feel guilty for playing the role of myrtle urkel #all of this when he was a child btw #i feel so bad for jaleel cause he seemed like such a normal and relatively down to earth child and they were so mean to him...#right from the jump #family matters #jaleel white #reginald veljohnson #jo marie payton
