AceShowbiz - Marlon Wayans won't let a naysayer bring him down. Having faced backlash over his photoshoot to celebrate Pride Month, the "White Chicks" actor didn't waste time to offer his savage clapback.
The 51-year-old was forced to deal with online critics after he shared on Instagram a shirtless picture of himself posing with a rainbow flag on his shoulder. "Happy PRIDE to all my LGBTQ+ peoples. Did a photo shoot with the great photographer @parrish_lewis dope pic," he began his caption.
"@GOOD GRIEF on @primevideo NOW! Watch it THIS FATHER'S DAY," he added in the Friday, June 14 post. "P.S. I'm STRAIGHT… well, according to my child CISGENDER male. I just love and support my peoples."
While many of his fans showered him with support, some trolls mocked him. It prompted Marlon to fire back in a new post, "Yeah and just for the HATE MONGERS … I'm posting ANOTHER. As a father of a child in the LGBTQ+ community I show my support. Zero f**ks what people think. If i lost you… GOOD! Your hateful a** never loved me in the first place."
"How can you love anyone when you're too busy judging. Some of y'all funny. I'm a troll. I'll post all day," the comedian added. "HAPPY PRIDE to all my friends, fam, fans and loved ones. I am happy you're happy… period."
Hours later, Marlon came back with another picture from his photoshoot. "Do i look like I really give a f**k?! Happy PRIDD month. Especially to all the hateful dudes out there mad because I'm supporting family and friends. For people to be that homophobic wreaks of repressed feelings/desires. Bruh, don't live like that. Come on out. Be you. That's what PRIDE is all about… acceptance. I swear i got soooo many more pics," he penned.
Marlon, who has transgender son, Kai, went on to unleash a screenshot of a comment that read, "You failed as a father is what I'm hearing." He replied to it by writing, "i should have my niece f**k you with her strap on."
In the accompanying message, Marlon declared, "I'm not regular… don't come for me. Just quietly unfollow and f**k off. I will make you question your life and its pitiful existence." He then noted, "On my platform i support what the f**k I choose. D**kheads like this try to bully and I'm not that guy. And again… HAPPY PRIDE D**kheads."
