Meagan Good is shutting down speculation about a viral video of Michael Ealy seemingly shading her boo Jonathan Majors and Corretta clapping back at “PR stunt” relationship rumors. “Super unfortunate how people don’t have anything better to do than project on others,” she said, setting the record straight.

Since last week, a video appeared to show a super awkward moment between the controversial couple. On Wednesday night, Good was out and about with her man in Los Angeles when she reunited with Michael Ealy and the newest Power Book II actor gave Good a surprisingly warm embrace.

NitecastMedia originally posted a clip of the moment where Ealy seemingly ignored Majors before going in for a bear hug that lifted Good off the ground. Rapper-turned-Mayor of Kingstown actor D Smoke and his wife also got pulled into a photo op with them. As Ealy posed with his arm still wrapped around his Think Like A Man co-star, it left Majors looking like the odd man out.

Social media sleuths suspected this meant other celebs were snubbing Majors following his recent assault conviction. The video quickly went viral along with conspiracy theories about Ealy trying to send a message with an intentional diss. However, there’s more to the story.

After The Shade Room reposted the viral video, Good kept the same energy we saw during his trial, and stood by her man. The Divorce In The Black actress clapped back in the comments saying that people who “don’t have anything better to do” are running with that narrative based on a misleading edit.

“So we’re just gonna edit out the first part of the video where Jonathan and Micheal exchange a big hug first and then speak life over each other — ‘before’ he gives me a big brother hug? Lol smh super unfortunate how people don’t have anything better to do than project on others and intentionally perpetuate negative misguided commentary on life snippets they have no real context to, she wrote. “It’s sad. Sigh. But still, God bless yall.”

A longer video of the interaction told the full truth, but that didn’t spread nearly as fast as the drummed-up drama.

 

The fact-checking didn’t stop there, however, Meagan has been as busy with damage control about her relationship as she’s been promoting her new film.

Check out what Meagan Good had to say about rumors that she’s dating Jonathan Majors for a “PR stunt” after the flip.

While Meagan Good dished on dysfunctional drama in the latest Tyler Perry movie, the topic turned to her off-screen relationship. Both Good and her co-star went through very public divorces after more than a decade in their high-profile marriages with leading man Cory Hardict splitting from actress Tia Mowry in 2023. The Harlem star ended her marriage to movie producer Devon Franklin in 2022. This makes for some juicy parallels to their Divorce In The Black characters going through a messy divorce.

While promoting the new film on Angie Martinez’s IRL podcast, she checked some relationship rumors.

The Hollywood vet usually doesn’t let public opinion get to her, but the Jonathan Majors backlash hit differently. Good revealed that opened up about speculation that they dated for a year just for publicity.

“I think the only thing that gets to me is people saying that I’m doing it for a PR stunt. I’m like, when have y’all ever known me to do anything for a PR stunt? When have I ever dated anyone for some money? Matter fact, people that I’ve dated with money, I’ve not only not taken their money and made my own my entire life, but you haven’t even known that I’ve dated those people,” Good revealed.

As BOSSIP previously reported, the couple was first spotted together only a few weeks after Majors was arrested in an assault case with his ex-girlfriend. The timing raised questions about whether a beloved star like Good was a convenient way to redeem Majors’ tarnished image. However, they’re still going strong and the actress assured the world she’s not playing a part. Instead, she thinks people are just projecting their issues onto the relationship.

“I would never do that, but [in] the same breath, I think it has less to do with me and what people think about me, and I think it more has to do with projection, insecurity, you know, judgment that really isn’t based on the person but is based on the person who’s judging, experiences that have hurt them,” she continued.

Welp, it looks like Kang really found a Coretta companion to hold him down, whether its in court or in the press. Anyone expecting to see more of her relationship drama can tune into some matrimony messiness going down in the Divorce In The Black, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime.
