Tamera Mowry on Oprah Show, Burst into Tears for Racial Slurs on Her Interracial Marriage

Having just announced to quit her reality show
to focus more on her family and beloved ones, Tamera Mowry appeared last
Friday on Oprah Winfrey Show (see video below). She broke down
in tears when she talked about the pain she got from various racial
slurs from the internet for her interracial marriage to Fox News
correspondent Adam Housely.

Tamera Mowry married her husband three years ago. While Tamera Mowry
is bi-racial, her husband is a white man. The actress revealed in tears
that she has encountered some heinous comments because of the union.

"See, this is where I get emotional, because it's hurtful," Mowry said.

Identical twins Tia and Tamera Mowry with their parents, who are both christians. The twins come from a bi-racial family.

"I've never experienced so much hate, ever, in my life," said
Mowry-Housley, choking back her tears. Besides her sat her twin sister
Tia Mowry who was trying to wipe tears on Tamera's face.


She then recalled some of the remarks. "I get called 'white man's whore," she said.


"The new one was 'back in the day you cost $300, but now you're giving it to him for free," said Tamera.


The words are especially hard to hear because Tamera Mowry-Housley grew up in a bi-racial family.


"I couldn't even fathom or think of these words, because I'm a product of it," she said.


"My mom is a beautiful black woman and my dad is an amazing white man, and I grew up seeing a family," she added.


Mowry described the most shocking example of abuse she received
online. It involves her twin sister, who is married to actor Cory
Hardrict.


"They say, 'Oh, Tia's a true black woman because she married a black
man,' Tamera said. 'Oh - I'm less of a black person because I married
white?"


Days after an emotional clip of Tamera Mowry went viral, her husband Adam Housely publicly defended her against the attackers.


"The
fact that in this day and age, we get attacked for our interracial
relationship is beyond sad ... it is pathetic," Adam Housley said during
an interview with TVNewser.
"Yes, I am White. Yes, she is half Black. Marrying a White man does not
erase her color and marrying a woman who is half Black does not mean I
am blinded. The problem isn't pigmentation ... the problem is backwards,
bigoted thought from people who should know better." 


"I
love my husband so much. I love my family," she said on the OWN show.
"I love our dynamic. I'm proud to be in the relationship I am in because
it's based on love. Pure love." 


In addition to pure love, Tamera has tried to build her marriage with
foundation of christian faith. In an interview by HOT 97 years ago,
Tamera revealed that she and her husband had chosen to be celibate for
six years until marriage because they wanted to build their marriage in
God's way.
