The ongoing drama between Tia Mowry and Corey Hardrict’s divorce has turned into a spectacle, leaving fans questioning Tia’s actions. Is she truly heartbroken, or is this her way of reshaping the story? What started as an amicable split has spiraled into emotional oversharing, subtle digs, and behavior that’s shifted public sympathy more toward Corey.
There’s growing speculation that Tia may have tried to reconcile with Corey but was rejected. Initially, she proudly described the divorce as her “graduation,” a step toward self-discovery and empowerment. Fans were encouraged to celebrate her fresh start. But lately, her actions tell a different story—one filled with tears, accusations, and attempts to provoke a reaction from Corey. It’s left many wondering if Tia, once so confident in her decision, is now battling regret.
On her reality show, Tia often reflects tearfully on her marriage, claiming she endured years of unhappiness. She’s described the relationship as an illusion she maintained for the public, portraying herself as someone who sacrificed her happiness to keep up appearances. While this narrative casts Tia as a victim, it’s starting to raise eyebrows, with some fans feeling she’s rewriting the history of their marriage to suit her current perspective.
Adding to the confusion are Tia’s statements about Corey being her one and only. She’s said she never dated anyone else before him and wasn’t sure what she wanted in a relationship at the time. However, a 2015 interview tells a different story, where she recounted a “horrible dating experience” before meeting Corey. More recently, she’s claimed she can “fall in love with anyone” and does so “hard and fast,” comments that seem to downplay the unique bond she once shared with her ex. For many fans, it feels like an attempt to diminish Corey’s importance in her life, as if she’s framing their relationship as something she settled for rather than cherished.
All of this has left fans divided. Is Tia struggling with heartbreak and trying to make sense of her emotions, or is she rewriting the narrative to cope with rejection? Whatever the case, her evolving story has certainly kept people talking.
Tia hasn’t shied away from throwing shade at Corey, openly downplaying his contributions to their marriage. On her reality show, she hinted that his higher earnings were merely a result of his gender, brushing off his efforts entirely. She also described her role in the marriage as being a constant source of emotional support, but not in a loving way—more like it was an exhausting burden. In one episode, she even said, “I could sense he was uncomfortable, so I hugged him to let him know it would be okay,” framing what should’ve been a moment of empathy as some kind of chore. It feels like she’s rewriting the story of their marriage to fit her post-divorce narrative.
What’s even more troubling is how Tia seems to involve their kids in this drama, whether consciously or not. While their teenage son has chosen to stay out of her reality show, their 5-year-old daughter has been featured in multiple episodes.
In one particularly eyebrow-raising moment, Tia filmed a drop-off at Corey’s house. At first, their daughter was thrilled to see her dad, bouncing on the bed and excitedly talking about the fun they’d have. But then Tia did this sad little chant about “making her worries go away,” which completely shifted the child’s mood. By the time they arrived at Corey’s place, the little girl looked worried, more focused on Tia’s feelings than her excitement to spend time with her dad.
Another awkward moment happened when Tia planned a girls’ trip to Las Vegas on the same day she dropped her daughter off with Corey. Instead of hiding her suitcase, she left it right by the front door where her daughter could see it. Naturally, the little girl asked where Tia was going, and when she found out, she started crying. After the drop-off, Tia sat in her car outside Corey’s house for over 10 minutes, calling her cousin to vent about feeling guilty. Meanwhile, Corey had to console their upset child, who had just watched her mom leave for a fun trip without her.
These incidents have led some fans to question Tia’s motives. Is she intentionally creating situations that could make her daughter’s time with Corey more challenging? Whether it’s intentional or not, the optics aren’t great, and many have criticized her for putting her narrative above her child’s emotional well-being.
On top of all this, Tia’s behavior doesn’t exactly align with the message of empowerment she initially shared after the divorce. When she first announced the split, she called it a “gift to her children,” saying it was about showing them how to live authentically. But as time has gone on, her public image has shifted. Instead of the confident, self-assured mom chasing her truth, we’re now seeing tearful videos and cryptic social media posts that make her look more like a victim.
Meanwhile, Corey has taken the high road, staying focused on his career and steering clear of the public drama. His IMDb profile is stacked with over 105 acting credits, including roles alongside A-list stars and appearances in major box-office hits. Fans have pointed out that this contradicts Tia’s narrative of Corey being financially dependent on her during their marriage.
Tia’s attempts to control the narrative hit a low point when she brought actress Jackée Harry onto her show to comment on Corey. Jackée claimed Corey was unhappy and out of work during the marriage, but this was quickly debunked by his extensive resume. Fans also noticed the episode aired on Corey’s birthday weekend, which felt like a calculated move to throw shade at him.
At the end of the day, Tia’s actions are raising more questions than answers. Instead of coming across as empowered, she’s starting to look petty—and fans aren’t holding back in calling her out for it. If anything, her efforts to control the story seem to be backfiring, damaging not only her public image but also the dynamics within her family.
One of the most revealing moments came when fans dug up an old social media post from Cory, shared before the divorce announcement. In the post, he wrote, “Acting off emotion will cost you every time.” Many saw this as a subtle jab at Tia’s decision to end the marriage, hinting that he wouldn’t be easily swayed or won back.
Since then, Cory has made it clear through his actions that he’s focused on protecting his peace and moving forward. Meanwhile, Tia’s initial confidence in her decision to divorce seems to have shifted. Fans have noticed her second-guessing, with some interpreting her behavior as a sign she’s reconsidering the split. Her reality show has shown moments of self-doubt and regret, while her indirect comments about Cory suggest frustration over his refusal to engage or entertain any talk of reconciliation.
This is a stark contrast to the empowering narrative she once championed. Fans have voiced their disappointment, with many siding with Cory. Social media is filled with comments like, “She’s giving scorned woman energy” and “Cory dodged a bullet.” Some have even pointed out the irony in Tia claiming she “graduated from her marriage,” only to act as though she wishes she could take the course again.
On the other hand, Cory’s calm and collected approach has earned him respect. Fans appreciate that he’s focused on his career and his children, staying above the drama. The whole situation has left many wondering what Tia was really hoping to achieve with her post-divorce actions. Was she trying to provoke a reaction from Cory? Did she believe she would experience personal growth and empowerment, only to realize too late what she had lost? Or is she simply struggling with life after a marriage that some fans feel she pressured Cory into?
Whatever the case, Tia’s actions have undeniably shifted the public’s perception in Cory’s favor. His decision to stay dignified and avoid drama has highlighted her emotional outbursts, making her behavior look more erratic by comparison.
If Tia was hoping to win the public over, it seems her strategy has backfired. This situation serves as a reminder about the consequences of acting on impulse and the importance of owning your decisions.
By airing her grievances publicly, Tia has left herself open to criticism, while Cory’s quiet resilience has allowed him to rise above the noise. Whether Tia will eventually find the peace and empowerment she sought remains to be seen, but for now, it’s clear that Cory has chosen to prioritize his peace and his future.
