Jody from Baby Boy gets a lot of hate…

[DripSzn]

…For how he acted towards Melvin, but let’s be real: What son is gonna be cool with their mom dating an ex-convict who beat women?


Placing myself in his shoes, I might of not have been as confrontational, but I could definitely understand where he was coming from.

Honestly, his mom doesn’t called out enough for her behavior. She lowkey used Jody as the man of the house till she got boyfriends.

This movie is so layered because you can go from being on Jody’s, to Melvin’s, and keep going back and forth till you see the middle ground.

Thats not why he gets hate

Melvin had his own business and wasn't beating on Jodys mom. Only thing Melvin was beating up was Jodys moms p*ssy.

Jody on the other hand was still living in his moms house with 2 kids out there in the world.

Jody was a bum ass nikka.

He wouldn't have had to see Melvin if he had his own place instead of living with mommy.

nikka didn't even have a car either.

Mama gotta have a life too.

I mean, Jody wasn't even THAT old. He was only 20. And something tells me his mama didn't exactly raise him to be mature enough to be independent at that point.

That nikka was at least 27

Used Jody as the man of the house? he didnt pay any bills

Jody said he went to see Melvin’s kids and they said he used to beat their mama

I always felt like it was cap. Like how some nikkas just be lying for no reason sometimes.

Melvin didn’t deny it. Even said he don’t see his kids because of his baby moms

The movie touches on the Oedipus complex Jody has.

Single mothers can end up treating their son as their “man” and use them for validation.

Nah Jody was very detailed in his discovery


Also I think it adds to Melvin’s Character, to showcase how Melvin grew as man, he did time, was in the streets and I guess he was previously abusive but he was supposed to be determined to change and trying to not fall into old habits
