Meagan Good Breaks Silence On Backlash From Hugging Michael Ealy

Meagan Good evoked the wrath of the internet during a recent meet and greet. The actress reunited with former co-star Michael Ealy, and greeted him by giving him a long hug. Ealy proceeded to lift her off the ground during said hug. The issue, at least according to people online, though, was that Ealy did not talk or interact with Good’s boyfriend, Jonathan Majors. He greeted everybody else in the group except for the Creed III star. The interaction was widely viewed as a rude gesture towards Majors.

The backlash reached such a fever pitch, in fact, that Meagan Good addressed the video on July 15. The actress took to the Shade Room comment section to set the record straight. According to her, there isn’t any problem between Ealy and Majors. She believes the video was simply taken out of context and over analyzed. “Smh super unfortunate how people don’t have anything better to do than project on others,” she wrote. “And intentionally perpetuate negative misguided commentary on life snippets they have no real context to. It’s sad. Sigh. But still, God bless y’all.”

Meagan Good Provided Fans With Additional Context

Meagan Good’s reaction to the controversy makes sense. Especially when the full video of the interaction made its way online. In the full video, Michael Ealy can actually be seen talking with and greeting Jonathan Majors before he greets Good. This debunks the theory that there’s beef between the actors, or that Good had disrespected Majors. The omission of this crucial interaction was something that Meagan Good actually brought to the internet’s attention. The actress once again went to the Shade Room comment section to assert that the hug had been taken out of context.

“So we’re just gonna edit out the first part,” Meagan Good asked the social media account. “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?” Good is no stranger to controversy. Especially when it involves Jonathan Majors. That being said, the actress maintains that things between them are better than ever. “The support we’ve been able to give to each other,” she told Today. “The pouring into each other, the honest conversations… it’s been really wonderful.”

Michael Ealy Divides Fans With How He Hugged Meagan Good In Front Of Jonathan Majors

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good are a buzzing pop culture couple right now, but with all that love in the air also comes some potential jealousy. Moreover, actor Michael Ealy recently went viral online because of the way that he hugged Good at the L.A. PowerPlayers Mix & Mingle bash and literally swept her right off her feet… right in front of Majors. Then, he dapped up rapper D Smoke and his wife, and didn’t even greet the Creed III actor in the clip below before they all posed for a picture together. It was overall a very bizarre interaction to witness, and one that elicited a lot of jokes on the Internet as well as a lot of criticism.

Of course, it’s not all that Jonathan Majors was in comical headlines for recently, as odd of a change as this is from the domestic violence case that took over his public-facing persona. Fans recently clowned him for the way in which he danced to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” While it seems a tad ridiculous to go so hard over a couple of moves, we can’t blame folks for demanding some great choreography from it. After all, it’s the song of the summer, and you have to do it justice somehow.

Elsewhere, Jonathan Majors recently spoke on his conviction at the 2024 Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards. “I’m imperfect,” he shared during his tearful speech. “I have shortcomings, I acknowledge them. Perseverance means what? Perseverance means persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay. And the God I serve has put me in a position where I’ve had to embody that word more than I wished or wanted. We live in a world [that props up] men, Black men in particular… as either superheroes or supervillains,” Jonathan Majors continued. “But I’ve come to realize, me, personally, I ain’t none of that… I’m just that guy whose faith has been tested. It has been strengthened by this testimony.”

Meanwhile, this is what Meagan Good had to say in the comments of the Instagram post above about Jonathan Majors and Michael Ealy. “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?” she wrote. “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 . It’s sad. Sigh. But still, God bless yall.”
