Tia Mowry is doubling down on the comments she made about not being close to her twin sister, Tamera Mowry.
In the show’s new trailer, “Tia Mowry: My Next Act,” she revealed that she and Tamera were no longer close. “I wish I could pick up the phone and call her, but that’s just not where we are right now,” she said in the trailer.
The show will explore the actress’ life since divorcing her husband, Cory Hardrict. They share two children with, Cree 13, and Cairo, 6. In a recent interview, Tia said that she was speaking about the physical distance between them and not their bond.
“You could hear it from me, and this is basically what I was insinuating: I feel like as we grow up, we all start our own families and their children need to lean on them. We begin to take on new roles and responsibilities within our lives,” she said. “That is what that was all about.”
Tia also said that Tamera lives in Napa with her husband and their children, while she lives in Los Angeles. “In these transitions in life, sometimes you just want a hug and you just want someone to be as accessible as they used to be, and that is not the case. It’s called life.”
She added, “I love my sister very much. She loves me very much. We have a closeness and a beautiful connection. But that’s what that was all about. It’s just how life unfolds, and it happens with many families.”
Tia shared her sister’s reaction to her comments, to which she responded it wasn’t surprising. “When you’ve been in this industry for over 30 years, things are always taken out of context and it is what it is. The only thing that I can do is control my behaviors and be the best person that I could possibly be, and that’s what both of us are. We are incredible, inspiring examples, and we have been that all our lives. So, why change that now?”
Tia Mowry’s new show will premiere on WeTV on Friday, October 4.
