#BreakfastClub #GaryOwen
I think it’s unfair that when a woman filed for divorce it’s “Yes girl leave him you can do better” but if a man isn’t happy and decides to divorce a woman it’s “How could you do that?” Men should be allowed to leave if they’re unhappy
For real
They do all the time.
Double standard
Women file for divorce at higher rates then men
I agree 👍
Respect for Gary keeping things civil on air and only discussing his stuff and refusing to bad mouth his ex.
His ex will always be his children's Mother. I appreciate hm remembering that.
I don't
What's the reason married didn't work? Gary's answer: Trump!😏🤨😂🤣 I can't!😭
@@ItsThicc is always some hater talking spit
Classy 👌🏼 those are the guys that you always keep on seeing regardless.
I can so relate to Gary about being emotionally checked out. I wanted to divorce my children's father after they graduated high school and turned 18, but I became extremely depressed and divorced their father when my oldest was 13 and my daughter was 11. Waiting for the children to get older was a mistake. I should have done it when they were toddlers because the marriage had already expired. Children tend to take side of the one who didn't file. What children don't understand is that they will never know their mother or their father as a spouse, only as a mother and or a father. So Mr. Owen, hang in there. Hopefully they'll remember how you are as dad and provider.
I totally agree, I divorced my first wife with no kids involved, but the last argument she tried to start she screamed at me that she hated me, and my response was basically "I don't care, go be mad in another room." Understanding that I felt indifferent was the last straw. I got my ducks in a row and told her I was ready to be done. We used the same lawyer in the divorce, settled everything civilly and here we are almost 13 yrs later and I'm in a happy marriage with 2 kids.
Being a child of divorce myself your words touched me deeply. My mother had to be strong to do what was right for her and her two children even though it was incredibly hard on her own. You are incredibly brave and I hope your family was supportive.
@@matthewrinehart2367 that was kind of you to type, thank you.
gotta disagree, my children know how we are as spouses towards each other. Example I started new hours and my son at the time 13 called me out and said dad why don't you take mom on date night anymore? why don't you bring in flowers or peacock feathers anymore what he didn't understand was when I worked everything's is closed when it's open I slept so I started getting up early when I realized his point. it's all in effort and if both yall can be grown and not fall into lust then marriage works but if you don't both do it then I say that person needs to grow up. exception on abuse.
@@schizophrenicdad6726 sounds like you have an intuitive and thoughtful child. I think most children, not all, are quite selfish and have a myopic view of the big picture. That's all I meant respectfully.
Gary is being so transparent and that's not easy in that situation. I definitely understand.
You can see the pain in his face when he’s not joking. Divorce is hard and so painful and to have people turn their backs on you compounds it. I wish him well.
Man…
He's hurt over ramifications of kids not divorce. Sounds like he tried.
It’s only hard because people (usually the woman) can’t accept that the relationship is over…so they try to control you by getting nasty and vindictive…poison the kids against you, and spreading lies about you (knowing you can’t or won’t respond).
Pain gtfoh more like relief and trying to hid all his money so she won't get a dime foh
yea saw him.on old show..comi"s unleashed..i had seen him on tv later..frm cincinnatti..so he was hilariou...lots if fun..
I truly admire Gary on how he chooses his words wisely when interviewed. Even when the interviewer pushed questions Gary didn’t want to answer, Gary stuck to his morals without visibly showing anger. Wish Gary all the Blessings bestowed upon him!
Very wise of him.....
I totally agree.
He came off callous and immature. He kept trying to ELUDE to the fact that Kenya may have cheated. She didn’t. He cheated less and he doesn’t even seem apologetic about it is super immature.
@@rmaddwilliams5064 wise of what??
@@HH-gv8mx why sound he apologize for not being happy ?
Married because of Obligation versus love makes a difference
I like how he didn’t go to deep into the question they keep asking, see how he just didn’t answer some questions. He’s gonna make a special talking about everything. I’ll bet money on it.
None of their business.
He's going through a divorce so he can't say much it can be held against him.
@@faithwatkins7811He literally said in this interview his words can be used against him.
This is honestly such a sad interview. Prayers for Kenya, Gary, & the children 🧡 no family breaking up is easy, especially after 23 years. You can see the pain in his face.
@Autumn Chapman I agree 💯! I also believe he's in pain. I pray all works in all their favor. Blessings to all of them
Agree well said!
Lmao y'all better have the same energy for every other man who cheats 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Hilarious y'all are praying for him lmao
@@user-ls2se6ze6x real talk man 😂 because what I’m gettin from reading thru all of this is he got cheating (unhappy or not) he could’ve just left, he was running from getting served. Had someone follow his wife 24/7 to end up serving her in a public drive thru. That’s gotta be embarrassing. You can’t talk to your ex because of court so I’m assuming even if you were able to talk to your kids you can’t really “talk” to them either because you’re so scared of the court process. Meanwhile while all this going on it gets out you took up Wendy Williams on an offer for a date.. that had to be the knockout blow. Wendy Williams??? If I was the kids I wouldn’t talk to him either Wendy Williams ?? And I’m usually on the man’s side but this story is nuts lol
Kenya mess up the family typically women
He doesn't disappoint in humor...."I was on the run, I blended in, I went to really white areas, they didn't catch me" 🤣🤣🤣
😂
😎🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂literally🤣😂
😂🤣
@Ty Wilson yeah. You can see it all in his eyes.
1. This may have been the 1st time I've watched a Breakfast Club interview. I'm a fan of Gary, but hadn't realized that he was going through a bitter divorce. 2. I'm amazed at how open he is. As a dad myself, while he was describing the sacrifices he made to see his kids and not being able to see them today, I genuinely felt his pain. 3. Divorce sucks. I never knew about 'being served', but my gosh, all of this sucks.
Wore out one black woman and now he with another black and younger woman!Iam a black woman and I have never like that White snake! He is not funny! Ha Ha Ha
This is why i respect Gary Owen. He doesnt throw other people under the bus to make himself look better.🙂
True! He definitely earned more respect for that.🙌🏿
I hope the kids come around soon. He seems like a great father. Praying for the healing of their family.
Hope they come around before it is to late. When they have kids of their own, life and relationships, will have a whole new perspective.
First off the do all the time. Remember media and social site opinions aren't real world and second I think everybody can attest to the fact that men usually suffer in silence and I say that to say this. People will say that cause they may think oh he was fine why now and it'll seem like oh he wants bitches or maybe he doesn't want responsibility when in all honesty he's been hurting for a long time and could never speak or just never spoke on it. Women tend to let you know at the first moment of unhappiness and not always verbally will they let you know that's why the narrative is different not saying it's right but ya
Owens used that sham ir nonsense to the silly "supposedly black panther related family member" girl as a "segue for more comedy" access. No real BW would be so desperate for such a cornball...
Maybe if he wouldn't cheated he wouldn't be in this position, not judging or trying not to BUT!!! . The it is one of the commands if you believe not trying to push my beliefs on anyone BUT!!! This will not be an easy ride for him as it should not.
@@sharondamilburn2431 he didn’t cheat. He left.
It’s always 3 sides to a story! 1) your story 2) his/ her story 3) the truth story
EXACTLY so comments are speculating!!!
Right ...
unless he’s lying, his dude would be his truth
Yes. And then there's the kids' stories.... that's a whole notha conversation.
Exactly
My prayers are with Gary and his family. I loved the interview and understand what he is going through. To have checked out of a marriage, and the affect it has on the children. They will come around. Continue to pray and be strong.
Love Gary Owens.
Yes
Gary you spoke with poise and maturity. Thank you for not publicly disgracing this black woman. You're doing amazing and I wish you the best. Sometimes shit just don't work out and that's okay. You deserve to be happy too.
go lay down!
I really hope that Gary and his kids will be able to reconnect with each other soon. 🙏🏿 Been a fan of his since the Comic View days, still a fan today...
peace& prayers Gary /children/divorce outcome🙏🏿

Facts
Awww boo hoo the poor little goofy face white boy Gary Owens is feeling all hurt, sad, & in pain over getting a divorce from his Black wife as a 42 years old Black man who is a Nuwaupian that is extremely pro-Black how do i response to Gary Owen feelings so depress over it like this😅🤣😂 .
I like how honest he is with his own feelings. At the end of the day you have to take care of the person in the mirror. He wants to be happy I wish him the best.
If he’s not you all are gonna let it be known in the comments
Especially when your kid’s are adults. They need to stop being childish and grow up to.
Yeah,if you're not HAPPY in any type of relationship-LEAVE.At lest he told his wife he was unhappy and wanted to bounce,I did the same with an ex-fiancee,left her to join the army.
Absolutely 👍💯 Men deserve to be happy to!! DAM
@@sweetass51 Katrice,you are so COOL and understanding !! You're a PEACH. LOL.
Best of luck to you Gary, your ex wife and kids. I wish you all peace and healing.
I think it's so important for a mother to not inject their pain from a split into their children. When I divorced my ex due to his cheating ways, I ensured that my children knew they were loved and that they could still love their father. I make sure they check on him, celebrate his birthday, father's day, and all other holidays either with him or at least with a phone call. He's always been there for them and I wasn't going to dismiss or allow them to dismiss him from their lives bc of my pain. Kenya is going to have to help mend the relationships, not for her or Gary but for the children's sake. Even though they are adults, they still need and deserve healthy parental relationships. It was tough, I wanted to tell my kids how he hurt me, what a dog he was, and honestly a small bit of me wanted them to hate him, but no good would come from that. I love my children far more than I could ever hate their dad. Besides, I picked him and I never want my children to suffer from my bad choice. Divorce is hard, parenting is harder, and forgiveness is hardest. I chose to forgive and love my family. Never would I want my ex but he's my family, 16 year together said so. My children hear me pray for him bc I love them and I know they love him. I'm raising black women and it's important that they know how to function past hurt and through pain. They will know they can get through anything bc momma did.
Amazing message from a true sister in Christ. Your children will thank you later for it.
This man has said he was close with is son. That he was there for his kids. If they're adults on their own and choosing not to talk to him he's not being honest about something because grown kids don't disown you for a divorce.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautifully stated! So wise!
Great mindset! They’re lucky to have a mother like you!
I would dead ass love to see more open and just vulnerably honest interviews like this with gary because so so so many can relate to the pure realness of it. hell if anything we can try to learn from others mistakes, as others learn from ours.
Truth.
Lies yall the type to criticize. If yall criticize Kevin Samuels then yall would criticize every man ...especially blk men
@@tertiusdurham her comment didn’t mean blk men. We are considered none human and just complaining if we are on here talking about a blk wm
Omarion should have took notes before his vague interview. He didn’t gain any fans with that “you know, um”
Gary has yet to be a guest on it but you should check out the Honeydew podcast with Ryan Sickler, that's the whole point of his show! As he says in every intro the podcast is about them highlighting the lowlights and getting the stories behind the storytellers
He did a good job with this interview am proud of him no one will ever know what really happened only the people that was in the marriage. Divorce is hard but life must go on.
He'll talk about it maybe one day much later though. I respect him for not wanting to air out their dirty laundry to the public. He is a gentleman for his kids
He really did...even as much as Charlemagne tried to get him to say that the wife cheated. He's still petty and messy.
Those children need to stop being that way with their father he did his father stuff took care they tells stay out your parents business they'll be alright don't be mad with Dad love both parents stop it you will revert it
Or I O Plo I O no L O
@@joycebryant6715 opioid
I love how he is still doing his best to keep her in a good light. Great man. He could definitely be a bitch about it.
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is weather over there,i hope your okay?
He is a wonderful man. Never spoke ill of his wife. I applaud his decision to be happy with his life.
I'm going through a divorce right Now losing my wife and my only Daughter Need Prayers please
Prayers brotha ! ✊🏽
Prayers to you brother 🙏🏽 keep your head up
Sending blessings to you hopefully your u find your peace again soon my brother
Wish you well bro. Stay strong.
🙏🏾🙏🏾💔
There's nothing worse than being married and alone. Well wishes to him and his family.
Been there. It's called unhappily married, married without a marriage, and married on paper to a roommate who isn't a good roommate.
Exactly, I've always told people it is heart breaking to be in a marriage and still be lonely. I was.
Preach!
@@mz.johnsonladydriver4716 I agree😔
Yup...its hard
Gary is being very respectful and careful to not speak poorly about his ex-wife. That is commendable. Sometimes things just don't work out. It is good that he refuses to throw her under the bus, and that's good.
Divorces are tough I hope everything works out soon for Gary and his family
"I was on the Run, Randy Moss. Straight cash homie" 😂😂- that's a bar lowkey
He's speaking nothing but FACTS!! When that thing is over, it's OVER!! It hurts, but pretending to be happy hurts more. I've been there, did it, and 3 years later life is soooo peaceful. Much love to Gary, and Kenya also. And sincere prayers for a successful reconciliation for him and his children...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💝💝💝
Yea but breaking up over the phone not seeing your kid for a year is weird.
@@Anthonycheesman33 Extremely weird...but hey I'm a woman what do I know 🤥
@@nicolenicki162 and yet you ar where defending him crazy world lol.
Glad you found peace. My brother stayed in a toxic marriage for way too long but 3 years after the split he still blamed himself for breaking up the family even though his kids were grown and he committed suicide. Life is short, be happy
It’s just not over.. that means someone gave up. Period.
Honestly BC is wrong for this interview, he was sitting there trying to explain why things happened. The whole time he was trying to explain why HE left without throwing anyone under the bus. They straight up kept insinuating he was at fault and automatically taking his ex's side assuming. It was high key disrespectful. Gary was admitting he had some fault and the divorce was basically both parties fault. But they kept on trying to make him talk bad about his ex and make him the villain. That is fucked up honestly.
I totally agree with you!
BC usually on some sh*t.
I kept having the same thought as they were asking questions they could answer easily answer themselves IF they listened to what he said. They WANTED him to slip but good for Gary, he didn’t.
It’s because they want to push the narrative that gets them clicks
faxx they gone push whatever agenda gets them paid!
Gary Owen. I'm going through the same thing. In a dead marriage and we live like roommates. You are not alone. Thank you for sharing. Love you ❤️
If not already try couples therappy maybe your health insurance pays for it
The fact that he refuses to throw dirt on Kenya’s name says a lot about his character. I’m praying that his kids will at least give him an opportunity to explain and restore the relationship.
Restore the relationship with the kids yes, but he does not owe them an explanation as to why the marriage did not work. That is between him and the ex. Those kids are grown, he probably only stayed as long as he did because of the kids.
@@derrickt9211 your right, he doesn’t have to explain anything which is why his kids don’t talk to him. He should repair his side before his kids start a family of their own.
@@selfmaderish4690 women turn kids against the father all of the time, they even turn adult kids. I have seen it with a friend of mine. At the end of the day they are grown so they will have to live with their decision to not talk to dad even though he raised them. They will regret it and at some point in life they will have a different perspective. Just because a man no longer wants to be in a marriage does not make him a bad guy. I don’t get it. People say all the time don’t cheat just leave if unhappy, and here this man does it and he is still made out to be a bad guy.
Or he just doesn't have much to say and its his fault it fell apart.
💯
I love Gary Owens the comedian, but I really like the person he is off stage. Whether he was a good husband or not, he is clearly a great father. I hope his kids learn to forgive and understand.
It's Gary Owen. No S.
Clearly he's not a good father if the kids don't want to talk to him 🤦🏿♂️

@@mr.onehundon2437 unless you are one of his children, or in that man's family, then you "clearly" don't know shit. Wether he was a good or bad father is not made clear by the fact his grown children haven't spoken to him In a year...
If the adult kids are disconnected from thier parent, there is more to the story. Hope they both find peace
Exactly!
There is more to the story….
Women can be extremely toxic though.... I know a few and they do their own children dirty with lies. It could be something and it could be a lie by their mother that has them acting this way.
@@k.rodriguez4193 Bruh stop. Gary literally said even his own dad, his friends, & his employees fell out with him during the divorce period. If you’re losing the respect of everyone around you… from your kids, to your parents, to your own friends… maybe it’s YOU.
@@k.rodriguez4193 that's exactly it. I saw divorce first hand and thankfully I had enough mind to not listen to these two people talking bad about the other. After watching the Gary.

Why did this interview make u love Owens again???

Gary should not become a styrotype, still be the best father, ex-husband, comic that you can be! Much respect for your future!
This man is so honest! His children should at least meet with him and allow him to express his side. Right now they are only hearing their mother's perception.
How you know their mother told them anything, clearly you didn’t hear the interview. People and their assumptions
Adult children are free to make their own choices. Parents don't have a right to stay in their life if the kids aren't willing.
Hoping that his children come to understand that it takes two to make a marriage work!! Praying for the healing of their family.
Amen 🙏🏾
Amen 🙏🏾
Amen
FUG em..they are dead weight anyway, and don’t get it twisted because I’m a father of three. And soon as they betrayed me, one of the possible two people that only want to see the best for them , that I would protect would my life , I would show them what it really is to betray the source. You think Hollywood is rough in betrayal. Shiiid. I would tell them to kick rocks and holla at me when you get your shii in order. They are not babies, they should have more concern for the o e that gave them a future, and nourished them the entire way. Kiss my az and go talk to yo mammy.
No. He stated they had nothing when they got together, but she did work at times & raised the kids by herself most of the times like others mentioned. Yet he wants her to get nothing. He cheated & decided to leave before she left him. Also, he had someone follow Kenya to serve her at a public drive-thru. What kinda bullsh1t is that?! He also keeps insinuating that she cheated, then says she didn't. I won't touch on other things, but his adult kids aren't talking to him. So there's NO WAY the mom "poisoned" them against him. They grew up in front of him when he was around & seemed to be close. They don't even want his money & no adult would turn that down unless he did something really horrible, especially to them, the "kids". So clearly they know something & so do the other people who talk about him. He takes no responsibility at all for what he did. The guys asked him reasonable questions & he goes back & forth with the answers. Guy should left ages ago. The youngest is only 20/ 21, so the others would've still been adults anyways.
Can really see that he's going through it ,especially as it relates to his kids. I hope they show him some grace and rekindle their relationship. All the best Gary.
He don't realize how toxic he is... like father like son
His key phrase in this is I was NOT HAPPY! I'm giving bro kudos cause I'd much rather a man be a man and straight up say, hey I don't wanna be in this anymore! than be lying,sneaking, snaking with other bitches thinking they slick and thinking they slick!
Celebrities still need their privacy. Not everyone needs to air their dirty laundry because of an interview. These people need to know that.
As a person whom has experienced divorce myself I completely understand. When the feelings are gone...you on roommate level....it's run its course. I had to move on and find my own happiness. Living in internal misery daily just to make another person happy isn't LIFE! Prayers for Gary and his entire family. Especially prayers for restoration with his children 🙏🏽 ❤️
I’m in it now. But atleast I’m not running out and cheating. He came off as immature. Trying to allude to the fact that Kenya may have cheated on him when we know it was HIM.
@@HH-gv8mx Let's be clear, ONLY Gary and Kenya know what transpired in THEIR marriage. Not you. Stop judging ppl when you don't know their personal life. Kmt
@@doseofmarina He will be ok. I’m the one who will suffer once he finally leaves.I wanted it to work believe me,I tried my heart out. But he’s addicted to porn. Physically and emotionally abusive. He’s cheated in the past and when my red flags go up I can’t even have a normal adult conversation with him about his behavior or how he’s hurting me without him becoming defensive and angry and abusive. I know from your point of you it’s so much easier said than done. But he lives with me and our rent just doubled. I can’t afford for him to leave me high and dry but it is what it is right now. We’re “in a relationship “ yet, to me, it feels like just roommates.
What I didn't like when it started feeling more like his mom.
@@HH-gv8mx The thing about cheating is some times we find happiness in another person. Our hearts desire us to be happy but we feel guilty as well because we know it's wrong. When you and the other person built chemistry together it's hard to let it go but you just aren't attracted or happy with that person anymore. It's a tough situation to be in. Love and relationships can be tricky especially when the heart and mind aren't on the same frequency.
He loves his kids a lot for him to be spilling all the Tea . He is doing whatever he can to reach out to them ! ❤️ sending healing energy for all parties involved 🙏🏾
@Herria J, he loves his kids but he hired a 24/7 detective to stalk their mom so he didn't have to pay her what she deserves. He loves his kids but he thought it was funny to get his wife to call a black man the N-Word and he has black sons.He says he cheated and he doesn't think that's a good enough reason to divorce him🙄 Yeah he's a real seller father.😒
He didn’t really spill any tea tho
@@divineintervention212 he sidnt say he cheated an he hired somebody to serve her thats how it works. The same way she hired somebody to serve him
@J White, He said his girlfriend messaged his wife🙄 He's just not saying he cheated outright because it can be used in court. Also she took care of him before he was famous, and they've been married for 23 years and she has raised their kids while he was traveling the world doing comedy.She believed in him. Do you know how unrealistic it is to believe someone will make it in comedy ?🙄 She didn't do anything wrong, he just got tired of her. She deserves half, and he's went out of his way to make sure she gets as little as possible. It may be the way it's done, that doesn't make it any less of a scumbbag move...😉
He married a black woman who poisoned the kids even though their adults now
I love Gary Owen, excellent interview. I pray that your children soon understand that the divorce is not an attack on their mother but an attempt to find happiness in a relationship that’s long ago served it’s purpose. People change, grow apart and yes sometimes even fall out of love. Praying for you and your family
It's kind of an attack on their mother. He definitely chose to manipulate the situation so she got nothing from him even though HE was the one allegedly cheating.
If the relationship wasn't working and she knew it. How is it cheating?
No, it’s an attack on their mother.
God bless the whole fam. Pursue your happiness. Your kids will have to understand one day that you also have a right to feel special, and it's not always easy to find that ...or hold on to that feeling forever. Fact is MOST PEOPLE DON'T. 🙏🥺🥀
They keep telling Gary "23 years is a long time" but it was the way they said it. 23 years is a success. After a divorce you can still be proud that you lasted that long💪🏾
I think it's more pity that it didn't work
But the way he left was not stoic or mature at all. He cheated on his wife, told her he wanted a divorce over the PHONE and then continued to act like a spineless coward.. especially flaunting the new bae while he’s still married. Lay low ffs!
@@HH-gv8mx he didnt flaunt, someone took a pic and his dad got a hold of it and snitched to the wife without knowing all the information.

Look at Envy coming through with the logic in this interview!!!! I appreciate the way that he keeps coming back to some key principles in this.
Very surprising
And CTG being ridiculous with the race baiting and jokes.
I think this is a result of all the growth, he has made in his own marriage.
@@Sunshi2023 how’s he pissing u off? He handle this interview well
He came off callous and immature. He kept trying to Insinuate that Kenya cheated. She didn’t. He cheated and doesn’t even seem apologetic about it. Came off as self centered and immature. And he’s flaunting the new bae all over social when his divorce isn’t even final.
I'm glad Gary is handling it with grace. Divorce is hard. Sorry for Kenya but lashing out is never the solution . Wishing both of them peace in their journey ahead 🙏🏾 .

Lawyers feed off your emotions and use it to gain money that should be spent on your family.
Very disappointed in DJ Envy with some of his comments 😒
@@singerkay1660 yeah but I think 4shizzil was talking about Charlemagne
@@FunesLegend I thought that too 😂
Charlemagne saw through the bullshit that a lot of blind people like yourself could not see in the comments.
Gary is so real in his body language.
Hopefully Gary and his children can resolve their issues and move forward. Life is too short to not be speaking to your children over a messy divorce. That’s sad. Hoping for a better future for Gary. Whatever happens behind closed doors is not our business and hopefully they all can come to some peace to move forward.
The kids should grow up and reach out to their dad. You only get one father.
@@kayrock3838 agreed. They seem ungrateful.
FuQ dem kids... "FuQ da KIDS?!'.... yeah
Praying they connect, it sucks. For your grown kids to really go out of their way to dodge and block and not speak to you, makes you wonder what he really did besides “leave their mom” .
💯 what happens between them is THEIR business, not ours. I'm glad he kept it civil & refused to bad mouth her, some don't care even if they are going through a divorce. I know he's being careful about what he says (using it against him later like he mentioned) but still, you can tell what matters to a man & how he presents himself. I wish them all the best & I believe if he was truly a great dad his children will come around. They're siding with their Mom right now & feeling her pain (and their own).
Now it all makes since. Gary came to my hotel around last year, he'd been there before. He was in my area where I was working and I discreetly asked him if he was Gary Owen, just to confirm, I just wanted to tell him, I loved his work, and talent. He was rather dry. My feelings were hurt lol. But now I see he was attempting to be incognito. ♡♡♡
Probably though you were a process server
Whole lot of excuses for a rude man that just didnt want to talk to ya ayss. You dont have the same kind of patient energy with ya own bb daddy.
@@abp4708 What???? None of what you just typed makes any sense... If you are going to be ignorant and trolling... Please keep it moving..
He just wasn’t interested in your services lol. I know the work some women do in hotels.
@@crissyalexander5291 These responses are wild!!
Gary Owen might not be a GOAT, but he is one of the better comedians with staying power and that is tough to say in an ever revolving talent factory
I've become a huge fan of Gary since Katts Club Shay interview. I've been hunting down any content with him in it. I am not disappointed. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
His kids are grown and have to understand that their dad has a life too and deserves happiness as well..hope they can all come together and heal and get their relationship back on track in the future
Nah. People divorce everyday. There's more to this story for your children to not want anything to do with u.
Stop it, no one wants their mother hurt and it is more to this story
@@whome7119 Facts
Probably the Mom influencing.
This dude made his wife make a video with her calling a black man the N-Word. He never thought about how his black male children may have felt about that.🙄 Not to say that had anything to do with the divorce ,but 💩 like that builds up over time.
One thing kids should understand, especially grown kids…some things are just between mom and dad. There are zero custody or child support issues here so the why this happened is between Gary and her. Hopefully the kids will understand that and give dad a call
Facts
I agree; especially, since domestic violence was not an issue. I pray and hope they grow to see the bigger picture; there parents’s love for them should not be measured in their parents’s disputes.
So true.
The kids may know the truth: Their dad ain't shit.
@@lady6164,Why? because he cheated? Even if he did, that's still between him and her. I guess adopting/raising her child as his own, kids in private school and providing a great living so good she doesn't have to work ain't shit either.
I want to see Gary Owens in more comedy movies.
How are you doing,I know you will be amazed to get a text from me,but to me it's nothing we all are human and I want to use this opportunity to appreciate you and say thanks for being a great fan This is my only private account that is being managed just by me alone and my public account is being managed by my management and I.
I have a lot of respect for Gary Owen- He is staying quiet and not saying anything bad about his ex-wife. I am also sorry they could not make it work after 23 years of marriage.
I know a couple that spoke to me separately after their divorce. They had been married for 25 years at the time of their divorce filing . I wanted to know why now… they both said if you see people getting divorced after 20 + years they’ve been miserable for the last 10 years. The wife said she was holding it together for the kids until they graduated high school. Both of them weren’t happy. Gary Owen said he’d rather be happy than be in a toxic relationship. I understand that… I pray his relationship with his kids is repaired.
Then he shouldn’t have cheated. He should’ve had a mature conversation try to do some therapy so that he could have some mediation on how to break the news to his wife that he didn’t love her anymore. But he did everything in a cowardly hurtful manner. No wonder his schedule talk to him.
Yes, that is true. Its never ooh it just happened no....the couple has not been happy for some time just holding on to whatever. Its a sad thing
@@HH-gv8mx like cheating is sooo bad. Woman will put up with a man abusing them n their kids. But God forbids he cheats😂😂😂😂😂. Man get over it cheating is not the worst thing that can happen in relationships. I've had my bm pull a gun on me out of nowhere. But y'all worry about cheating 😂😂😂😂. Whatever
@@godsson1110 She didn’t pull a gun on you out of nowhere dummy. He cheated on her. You didn’t shit to her. You hurt her and you scared her anywhere unapologetic about it.
*No wonder his kids won’t talk to him.*
As a person going through a divorce, this was an interview that I needed to see. Gary made a lot of points and one that I relate to is not speaking bad on your estranged spouse. There’s you side, their side, and there’s the truth. I pray that they can get through this trial and be happy human beings and Gary reconciles his relationship with his children.
Did your spouse hide from the process server?
@@alyssag.5758 Nope, there was no need for all that drama.
Sometimes his side or her side is the truth. It's not always both parties that cause a marriage to fail.
we love you Gary! No one knows what goes on between 2 people. Sometimes things like this happen. life goes on
We, you love him!
I’m surrounded by people happily married for 30-50 years who still date, have fun together, and always encouraging younger couples. Divorce isn’t even an idea in my circle. It really hurts to read in the comments how matter of fact divorce is to them
In the U.S. 40-50% of 1st marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate for 2nd marriages 60-67% end in divorce. American Psychological Association..Jan 2023
Kudos for being "happily married."May I ask, How do you know they are happily married?
This made me sad. I know from personal experience how painful this is for their kids. My parents divorced after I was an adult and the pain is indescribable… the children have to find peace in it and allow their parents relationship to be separate from their individual relationship with their parents. It takes time though.
He's more worried about money 💰 hiding from a process server so he could have the divorce in a state where he can keep more money for himself. He's selfish and trifling. No wonder his kids don't f*ck with him.
Exactly this man is trash and doing entirely way too much. Poor ex and kids.
@Fungadel M forever? What law school did you go to? That's not how it works 🤣
@@alyssag.5758 You're a women. It makes sense why you would make a stupid comment on a subject like this
I'm a white female & I am no longer a supporter or fan of your comedy. Your interracial jokes & references to your wife & children were what made you successful. She deserves better.
Awww I remember being mad at my dad when he left my mom. He's my favorite person now so hold on Gary, hearts mend.
Another excellent interview!!
Man love you as a comedian. And praying for your relationship with your kids brother.
Angela: So what do you think is a fair amount in your divorce Gary: I don't know, about $12 dollars? Me: 🤣🤣🤣
I wish both Gary, Kenya and their children the best possible outcome, and healing through this difficult time 💐

Family is so important. Sad to see such a break up.
Gary was very respectful about talking about wife and the situation. Said alot but not much. Plus he didn't fall for the sly stereotype they wanted to hear
Eye like how he circumvent the questions very professional poised
God bless Gary for making light of such a hurtful situation. This is such a hard part of life to be so vocal about and to let it entertain people takes the heart of hearts. Hopefully they can heal from this after the divorce is final. That may help the kids come around
❤
Keep your head up Gary you seem to me grateful the time u had with your wife and your kids will come around just keep them in your prayers 😊🙌
Gary Owen's is a great actor, he has you guys going and feeling sorry for him.
@@cccro6228 C'mon, you really don't think the kids not speaking to him at all affects him deeply? I actually think he's putting on, trying to come off stronger than he's really feeling.
@@RaineSim He's pretending as though he is the victim and the kids know that he's not the victim.
I was 20 when my parents got divorced. I told my mom, "That's between you and him. He's still my dad" It was a messy divorce. I even had to testify in court. It's life.
Maturity!
@@coollibra3644 thank you.
@@greenenergysolutionsteam you're welcome
hmm did your father cheat? or they just had irreconcilable differences?
@@tnwar330 why does that matter, that’s still between them. Kids are taught to stay in their lane and then when it really matters a parent expects them to pick a side.
Gary seems wise beyond his years...sincere,,genuine and introspective. He seems to in some degree of control...which is more than I can say about other celebs. Too bad he was hurt by his father...sometimes the closest to the source is the most treacherous. Heal..my brother and Kudos to you.
Agreed
My prayers are with them both and I pray 🙏 that the kids will come around
Married for 20 years. Put my ex through college to become a nurse and provided a nice home and cars etc. She stepped off and hasn’t let me see my kids for more than three years. Courts don’t do ish etc. so I feel his pain.
Damn bro thats sad. But thats what they do. As men we have to hold them accountable and make them start pulling their own weight.
Jesus bless this man. I as a grown woman was married for 27 years ...thankful he and I see eye to eye on things concerning our daughters and each other ....I couldn't be the woman iam today if I didn't have my own dad...lord bless you young man
Sorry you went through that!
Ouch that hurts. But eventually kids see the truth of the situation and will reach out. Don’t lose hope brother.
Sad to hear. Hope you can find happiness
I love how Gary is just naturally funny and part of the culture. Running from the process server.🤣 Peace and love to this family because this can’t be easy to deal with, especially publicly.
it would be public if it had not been for his wife. she’s now going to act based off of hurt and bitterness
Stop it. He aint part of no black culture.
@@abp4708 oh I don’t remember any other white people on comic view
@@Desreallifelove1 And he got to host it for a year. I've been a fan of his since Comic View.
20:38 love it 😂😂😂😂❗️❗️
Y’all are wrong for attacking him, he went by this the right way, and he’s still not speaking I’ll against her. I commend him. Gary I wish you all the best!!!!
Give this man his respect. Most realist! To sit and not cry over what he's going through.. love this man
You can tell Gary Owens is in pain going through this. Especially about his kids.
Yup!
Should have made better decisions. When you hurt people, there is a ripple effect. Those kids know they have a good mother who held down the fort while he was out on the road. They are hurt.
@@princellasmith7562 Yea but he filed for divorce because he wasn’t happy. Who knows how long he was unhappy
@@princellasmith7562 thats the sacrifice they made together .they were married for 23 years .sometime things are just over .and its sad the kids take side .they shouldve just stayed in the middle .cause they are not young anymore .they are making a big mistake .
@@princellasmith7562 Or he made the perfect decision.. no one should have to live the rest of their life unhappy.. he stayed til the kids became adults.. nothing wrong with that
My parents also divorced at 23 years of marriage, when we kids were grown and doing our thing... I appreciate modeling the best behavior one can, and sometimes the split is healthiest for the two trying to make it work. Nobody can judge why feelings change between people but the choices on how to move forward is where intent is demonstrated. Best wishes from the adult child of this situation, things can work out or not, depending on decisions made, taking the opportunities to show love and post divorce devotion. Remember that marriage is a government thing for legal reasons and isn't the measure of a heart.
I’ve been through this and it sucks so much. The kids don’t understand and abiding by the legal advice of no communication absolutely worse. My ex filed for divorce, I never said anything about her, kept all private stuff private, lost friends and relationships with my girls and still responsible for financial support. I can relate to Gary, it all sucks.
Did you cheat like him?
This dude is genuinely hilarious, always has good energy. I wish him and his family well
Facts
Boo hoo the white boy is hurting & in pain from getting a divorce from his Black wife😅🤣😂, I love seeing white people in that state.
I can't help but think his source of funny is also his source of pain. The things he talks about are the things that bring him the most pain. That's what he makes comedy from. It's sad to think of it that way, but it's a feeling I can't shake.
The pain is written all over his face, i hope the relationship with his kids will prevail. I hope his daughter takes the time to rekindle what many girls don't have.
Its hard yall, been there and the pain is sooooooooooo deeep. I pray that God will heal them all
Great interview.
I've been waiting on this story for a while. I've been a fan of Gary Owen for a long time.
Deidre, and then he'll go Murad marali on us
You're a fan? Lose the s!
@@ukan.536 I was going to say the same thing! 😂
@@ukan.536 edited just for the grammar police 😆
As a dude that has recently divorced, I feel your pain G. Keep your head up, the pain will ease and you'll pull through. You're doing the right thing about your kids. Keep taking the high road by not slandering their mom. It;s a no win situation. Talk about your pain to someone and not let it fester. The end will come and you'll be even more proud of yourself for taking the high road!
Why did your marriage fail?
So as a man, how would you feel , or rebuttal to the children you raised, loved, and nurtured to betray you over some shii they don’t fully comprehend?..keep in mind they are adults/young adults.
@@NoLineNoWait123AbC the fact that you think the children betrayed him shows how ignorant you are. They are in pain, they found out they're parents are divorcing on TMZ. They're father is laughing and joking about serving their mom divorce papers and then hiding so she can't serve them. He is scarring them with his behavior.
@@alyssag.5758 , children? their adults. You make it seem like he’s “sc🥹ring the itty bitty babies being a big bad angry man”. It always some overly emotional challenged woman calling somebody ignorant and yet you can’t leave an opinion without insults. Where’s this maturity and intelligence you profess? Let me guess, You’re exempt from ignorance and above insults and downplay. I respect your *opinion* and I aspect the same in return. Thanks for your enlightening input🫤
@@NoLineNoWait123AbC They are his children regardless of how old they are, just like he is always their father. There is clearly more to the story if his children have not spoken to him in year and a half and literally will not even SEE him outside of the door. It isn't just because of a misunderstanding.
Gary has always had my respect I related to him being in the military. and now I have related to him in feelings around divorce. It's life we all have to live it.May God bless him and his family.
Hello dear,how are you doing,how is weather over there,i hope your okay?
I’m most definitely praying for you Gary. God bless
He said his dad is a trumper thumper I nearly died lol 😂 .. I love Gary Owens he never disappoints . I completely understand how he moves.
Trump 2024!!!!
@Janice Blount have you seen new York lately or California. 😂 pray for republicans to take over
I love my kids with all my heart and if they’re not happy, I’m not happy but I refuse to stay with someone for my kids. I have two kids with two different men the relationships was toxic. I love my kids but I was not going to stay in a toxic relationship because it teach your kids that it’s OK to be with someone even if you don’t love them it’s OK to be with someone even if the relationship is toxic, I don’t want to teach my kids that, I pray that these guys overcome their situation and they be able to laugh and be able to be in the presence of each other. I pray that his kids give him a chance to make it up to him, but he could no longer stay in a toxic relationship I totally get that.
So true
Wow! This is News to me. I was thinking Gary was in a great marriage. Then hearing this interview is mind blowing. So sorry for him having to go through this. And to have children that you have raised and not speaking to you is very heart breaking. And those grown children need to grow TF UP.
Stfu because you don't know what happened and not because you like him as a celeb and he's saying and showing what he wants to the public means that he's a saint and his family is the one with the issues
Divorce is like a "Death" I pray both parties are successful in their healing process. Appreciate you Gary Owen for your transparency as well as protecting your Ex.
I agree, divorce is like a death. And it's harder when you are at the funeral grieving, processing and trying to rebuild as a family meanwhile someone else (Gary) who you'd think would be grieving to, moved on to the next so quickly. I think that added insult to injury.
My Husband died...you should rephrase that statement
@@greenfly0917 I totally agree
