Whew! Tory Lanez might be sending cash, but Claressa Shields is making it clear that money and family dont always mix. The 2x Olympic gold medalist and undefeated boxing champ is speaking her truth after longtime family struggles and shes not holding back, especially after GloRillas sister, Victoria Woods, called out her own sibling for allegedly skipping on family support.
Victoria “Scar Face” Woods took to her Facebook on Friday, February 6, and shared alleged screenshots showing that Tory Lanez sent her the $2,500 she had asked from her sister GloRilla to repair their relationship. In the caption, she wrote, “He didnt want me to post this but ya boy heard about the situation all the way in jail Tory Lanez thank you,” alongside a screenshot of Torys Instagram message: “From Tory: if ur actually f****d up and really tripping about 2500.. I’l send it to u gang … I kno how it feels to not have sh*t while needing it .. I hope god blesses u.” He added, “Lmk,” making it clear he wanted to help while weighing in from afar along with a $2500 Apple Pay transfer.
Hours before this, on Facebook, Claressa went off in a post thats part life lesson, part reality check. I dont care how rich I am, I dont owe anybody nothing! Shields wrote. If I decide to help you, you better appreciate it! She made it clear that financial support should be a choice, not a given even if youre family and had it hard together. According to Claressa, you can buy cars, houses, help with bills, or even pitch in for the kids, and some people still wont respect or appreciate it. Her advice? If you want to be rich or famous, work for it.
Claressa has been open in the past about why she stopped helping her family, revealing that jealousy and resentment from her sister played a big role. Now, her latest statement lands right after GloRillas sister, Victoria Woods, publicly called out her own sibling for allegedly not sharing the wealth and Claressas words hit like a jab straight to the heart of family entitlement debates.
Once the post hit, folks ran straight to The Shade Room IG comments to throw in their two cents. Some admitted this was the first time they actually agreed with Claressa, while others reminded everyone that nobody is entitled to anyones success or money. Of course, a few couldnt help but clap back, saying if you struggled together, then youre definitely eating together.
One Instagram user @socialnatrosha said, “The biggest betrayal comes from those who are close to you including family. ”
But, Instagram user @maleweezy._ commented, “Only people with pure hearts help people out.“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @naebbyy revealed, “Idc idc idc if I make it my family making it too ”
While Instagram user @thattattooedchickgoldz wrote, “Every word she said ”
And, Instagram user @ibe_mimi shared, “The more you do the more they hate you”
Finally, Instagram user @yellygangmakesnoise added, “D*mn. First time I agree with Clarissa“
In a video circulating online, Victoria “Scar Face” Woods called out her sister GloRilla for allegedly skipping on household expenses while their mom still grinds at FedEx. Scar Face didnt hold back, pointing out that GloRilla has 10 siblings she allegedly hasnt helped financially, but somehow finds time to support friends and even dragged that viral Jaguar gift to their dad, claiming it didnt even have gas while the parents still need assistance.
She also shaded GloRilla for staying quiet about the ongoing family needs, leaving fans divide over whether fame should come with automatic family support. While GloRilla hasnt directly responded to the claims, Scar Faces allegations have the internet buzzing, with everyone debating what, if anything, stars actually owe their loved ones once they blow up.
