Coretta Scott King’s Daughter Speaks Out After Jonathan Majors’ Remark
A day after Jonathan Majors invoked the name of Coretta Scott King in a TV interview following his domestic violence conviction, her daughter took to social media to declare: “My mother wasn’t a prop.”
“She was a peace advocate before she met my father and was instrumental in him speaking out against the Vietnam War,” Bernice King wrote on X. “Please understand…my mama was a force.”
Though she did not mention Majors, her post was widely interpreted as a clapback to the former Marvel star’s references to Martin Luther King Jr.’s wife.
