One of my favourite actresses Taraji P Henson has explained
why she hasn't owned up to dating any man yet.The 44 year old mother of one was
on the Steve Harvey show and said
“I’m a grown woman so ‘dating
and let’s just see’ –those days are over. If there’s nothing on this finger, if
this finger’s naked, no one gets claimed. You don’t get claimed until you claim
me. Period. You don’t get to say, ‘I dated Taraji P. Henson.’ You don’t get to
go on the red carpet and share that part of my life with me because now, today
with social media, it’s not private.(more below) I have a son
and I don’t want them to be like ‘mom dated that one and this and this’…I can’t
do that. I can’t afford that because then when I do meet the one, he’s gonna be
like, ‘you were a ho, you been with this one, this one, this one’…I can’t do
that.
“If you’re not serious, don’t even open your mouth. Shake my
hand and keep it moving. I’ve accomplished so much in my life and right now, I
just want someone to share it with.”
