Jill Scott talks raising son alone: ‘I am not a single mother’

Jill Scott opens up to Steve Harvey about raising her son alone...

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Steve Harvey is presenting what he’s calling the Thankful Hour. In a clip from the upcoming episode, Harvey is joined by his good friend actress/singer Jill Scott, who opens up about overcoming hardships in her childhood.

In an candid discussion about raising her son Jett, Scott says that although she’s single, she doesn’t consider herself a “single mother.”

“Honestly, I am not a single mother,” Scott tells Harvey. “Everybody joins in to help me raise Jett. These are people that I love and trust. ‘Single’ to me implies that there’s nobody else to help you. If I need a minute, if I need some advice, I can call some folks, and they’ll come in. They’ll help throw the ball, teach him out to play catch… they’ll teach him how to pee standing up, because what do I know about it?”

Be sure to catch Scott’s full interview on Steve Harvey Tuesday, November 24.
