Tisha Campbell’s Candid Post About Her Son Backfires as Outraged Troll Blames Her for ‘Martin’ Show’s Downfall

Actress Tisha Campbell faced a wave of backlash while celebrating her son’s fifteenth birthday regarding her influence on the ending of the series Martin.

On September 11, the “Little Shop of Horrors” actress, who has two sons, Xen and Ezekiel “Zeke” Martin, and Duane Martin, took to Instagram to have fun her son’s birthday.

Campbell posted a video of Zeke along with his hair down and in braids, days after his original birthday date of September 8. signatureed clip, “My baby is 15!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZEKE! Mommy loves you so much!”

While many fans joined in on the celebration for Zeke (and commented on his mature appearance), one person took the chance to criticize Campbell. In addition to the birthday wishes, some commenters identified Zeke’s resemblance to his father, Duane Martin.

“Happy birthday, you look just like your dad,” one person commented, while one other added, “Definitely Duane’s face. Happy birthday, young king.”

“Hair and mustache!!!” said another person.

However, the celebrations took an unpleasant turn when one person expressed displeasure on the “Martin” show being taken off the air.

“Your mother falsely accused Martin Lawrence,” they wrote.

Martin aired on Fox for five seasons until its end in 1997 following Campbell’s sexual harassment lawsuit against Martin Lawrence.

She claimed that the Maryland resident inappropriately touched her during love scenes while filming the series and repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances on her. Campbell also claimed that Lawrence was verbally abusive towards her and the remaining of the solid, accusing him of “repeated and escalating sexual harassment, sexual assault, verbal abuse, and related threats.”

Lawrence vehemently denied the accusations and the case was eventually settled out of court.

Despite the legal battle, Campbell and Lawrence reconciled with the surviving solid years later and reunited in 2022 to have fun Martin’s thirtieth anniversary.

IN interview on People that very same 12 months, Campbell said, “I wasn’t nervous about meeting the cast because we’re still friends,” referring to their bond even after 25 years and the death of castmate Thomas Michael Ford.

Lawrence echoed these sentiments, stating, “It’s nothing but love between me and her. It’s nothing but love.”

Although they managed to resolve their differences, they’ve not worked together professionally since then.

But each spent the summer performing stand-up. Lawrence toured with comedians like Adele Givens, B. Simone, DC Youngfly, Desi Banks, Loni Love, and more on the Y’all Know What It Is! tour. In between, Campbell played a handful of shows with Finesse Mitchell.
