Meagan Good is finally addressing Jonathan Majors’ controversial comment comparing her to Coretta Scott King and she’s not mad about it.
On the We Playin’ Spades podcast, Good reflected on the backlash, saying she respects Coretta and actually aspires to be like her.
“I have a lot of respect for Coretta Scott King. I think it’s beautiful that even when her daughter came out and said, ‘Nah, my mom was not just a prop. My mom did this that and the other.’ For me, that’s actually something that I aspire to,” Good explained.
“I want to be someone whose on the frontlines of having hard conversations, that stands up for people when stuff ain’t right, someone who is outspoken and has their own journey in terms of how they can do their best to make the world a better place. To me, I was like, ‘I’ll take it.'”
Majors’ original comment didn’t sit well with everyone, especially Coretta’s daughter, Bernice King, who made it clear her mother wasn’t just a “prop.”
Good and Majors have been making headlines since they got together in May 2023, not long after his assault charges in New York.
By November 2024, they were engaged. Now, with this latest controversy, it looks like they’ll be staying in the spotlight.
