Tamera Mowry-Housley is speaking up for her husband amid allegations that he’s a racist.
The Real co-host took time to get everyone together about her husband, Adam Housley, who has come under fire for working for Fox News. Although her hubby of seven years recently left his post as an anchor for the right-leaning news network but that hasn’t stopped some fans from accusing him of racism.
“There are some people that think my husband is racist because he works for a certain channel. I’mma look in that camera right there and let everybody know – my husband is not racist,” she said on The Real.
Tamera went on to explain the reasons for his departure from the network.
