Israel Houghton Slams Critic Who Called out Wife Adrienne for Not Having Children
"STAY OUT of a women’s uterus," Israel Houghton tells a man who shamed his wife, Adrienne, for remaining childless on their third anniversary.
It’s tough enough that Adrienne Houghton is facing difficulty trying to conceive a child. But for critics to rub it on her face, it’s just too much.
This is why her husband, Israel Houghton came to her defense when a troll chose to put her down again for not bearing any children.
CELEBRATING THREE YEARS OF WEDDED BLISS
It’s a happy week for Adrienne and Israel who celebrated their third anniversary on Monday. To commemorate the occasion, Adrienne shared a throwback clip from their wedding day in Paris.
“Three years,” the talk show host wrote to caption the boomerang video of bride and groom kissing against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower. “The best yes. 11:11. I love you more than ever,” she added.
COMING TO ADRIENNE'S DEFENSE
It was a happy post until a commenter named Tyson burst that bubble. He quickly wrote, “3 years and no kids.”
The insensitive comment earned the ire of Israel who’s probably had enough of such comments which have been pounding on his wife for years. Directing his response to Tyson, Israel replied,
“Tyson, my brother. Do you really want this smoke right now? I’m gonna let you go and find something worth worrying about. In the meantime and in between time: May I suggest perhaps an online etiquette class?”
“I expect nothing but polite well wishes from you. If you’re planning anything other than that- thou shalt be blocked for life.”
Israel, who Adrienne considers her "soul mate" then proceeded by lecturing Tyson on topics about women he had no business discussing.
“Couple things you don’t inquire about- women’s age, women’s weight, and as someone eloquently put it in these comments- unless invited STAY OUT of a women’s uterus.”
He also encouraged Tyson to direct his attention in finding his own woman and discussing these with her.
“Maybe find a girlfriend or wife and worry yourself to your heart’s content about her pregnancy journey & plans.”
In the past, Adrienne opened up about her struggle to conceive. “It can be really discouraging and it can be really frustrating,” she told her co-hosts on “The Real” last year.
At the end of his message, Israel told Tyson what he expected of him in the event he and Adrienne finally announce her pregnancy.
“I expect nothing but polite well wishes from you. If you’re planning anything other than that- thou shalt be blocked for life.”
And in spite of his irritation, the gospel artist ended his message on a positive note.
“May the Lord God Bless you Real Good as you go find a good thing/wife. Thanks.”
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
This isn’t the first time Israel clapped back at a critic who tried to hurt his wife with an insensitive comment about her fertility. “Please don’t do that,” he warned the commenter earlier this year proving he won’t stand for the negativity.
In the past, Adrienne opened up about her struggle to conceive. “It can be really discouraging and it can be really frustrating,” she told her co-hosts on “The Real” last year.
Realizing it wasn’t easy, she hung on to hope that it will happen in God’s perfect time. “I would love nothing more than to be a mom but I want it when God wants it for me,” she said.
Though she and Israel haven’t been blessed with a child together, the 35-year-old is a stepmother to his four children and is happy to be the good cop to them.
And while she waits for the day that she can become the good cop to her own child, haters should better refrain from shaming her for being childless or her husband will certainly have something to say.
