What a cool clip of Garcelle before joining the Real. I love it. Tam and Garcelle and all the women together, Yes❗ I don't understand why the show is being cancelled. I watch it daily. Many viewers do too.

This should have been the OG cast. Love Garcelle

"Does Telemundo make a lot of money, because I need to work for Telemundo!" Garcelle has always been vivacious and lively😍😍😍😍

[jay.bbyyy]

Here seeing how’d she be as an co host, like the rest of y’all 🤷🏾‍♀️😂😂🤣

And now Garcelle is a host on the show!! Fascinating 🥰

Ummmm, who DOESN'T know Tia/Tamara, that they would mistaken her for a nanny?

[yolaunderscore]

Tamara cracked me up..she didnt seem too happy about that comment. sorry honey

[gabiek.]

Aw that sucks, I never really thought about that. Tamara's son has blonde hair and blue eyes so yeah, she would be mistaken for the nanny. Wow, that sucks... I just don't understand why people don't mind their own business though...

I would never look at someone and assume that that is not their child and if I did think that maybe it wasn't there child, I would not be nosy enough to ask any questions to find out either or...

People really need to calm all the way down.

Unless she looks drastically different in her everyday life how is someone confusing tamera with the nanny? She's pretty famous!

I'm black (ppl used to call me "Sister, Sister in high school bc they thought I looked like Tia and Tamera even though I don't.) And I was a Nanny for this white kid with bright blonde hair and bright blue eyes, like WHITE white. And ppl used to ask me if I was his MOM?!? Lol At first I'd say no. Then I'd say, "Sure! Don't we look just alike?!" I'll always find that weird but cool bc he was my little bud bud.

[LoveBelow]

My mom told me people thought she was a nanny too, because i am very pale & my mom is brown skinned just like Gabriela
&ppl are so shocked when they see my mom now as if it cant be possible.
It makes me angry sometimes

[jaybird]

oh man, this segment reminded me of when i was a kid and someone asked me if my mom was my nanny because she's dark skinned and i have my dad's fair skin complexion:/ a lot more people are multiracial than ever before in my opinion which is why i just find it's a lot less awkward to assume it's the person's child unless they say otherwise lol

[angelicarenee]

Don't they know Black gives birth to all life!! We produce it all!

[thedot]

Garcelle coming through with class💅 would have loved her any day of the week over Tamar.

[carolea]

😂😂😂😂😂 *When my biracial husband was a kid, someone asked his Mom if the kids were adopted, and let me tell you Vanilla Mommy got pissed!*

[naturalchik]

I'm always mistaken as the big sister

[esthersicard]

she too damn pretty to be no nanny, Garcelle is fancy and beautiful.

[tboss]

Jesus loves you All!😊❤ so, very much!

[anewno]

I remember a coworker saw my brother's picture and she was like "is that your brother, he doesn't look like your brother." My brother is light skin and I am brown skin, we have the same mother. If I got a comment like that for my brother and we are the same RACE by the way just a different dad, I can't imagine what comments mothers who are in bi-racial relationship get.

[Sugamamita]

Yeah right Tia that u have been mistaken as the Nanny. Everyone knows who u are.. I cant
