1. I'm not splitting anything with a man who got 3 kids + a bonus child.
2. I'm not splitting anything with a man who made a bonus child that I gotta look at as a constant reminder.

- Many netizens also criticized Union’s statement questioning why she sounds like she is living from paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile, others asked netizens to ‘mind their own bills’ after pointing out that both Union and Wade are multimillionaires.
Women are terrified of 50/50 because the unpaid labour is rarely 50/50 – so women end up being exploited. This is a working class, poor people issue. Please stop projecting on to millionaires Gabrielle Union, and Dwayne Wade.

Gabrielle Union is a multimillionaire married to a multimillionaire. Better don’t worry about which bills they are splitting and focus on your bills that are due.

This is no shade but Savannah James is not an actor or established like Gabrielle Union is. Gabrielle Union was Gabrielle Union before D Wade. Again, no shade. The comparison here is bizarre. This is an odd tweet LMAO. https://t.co/nkJQVzjnwK
