‘Toxic therapist’ blames men’s relationship failures on moms, sparks outrage

Talk about mommy issues.

A self-proclaimed “toxic therapist” has caused controversy after declaring that a man’s mother is always a key component in a relationship breakdown.

Jamaal Banks, better known on TikTok as @jayoffline, made the controversial claim in a video that has racked up more than 8 million views.

“If your relationship fails, don’t just blame him. Sweetie, it takes two — him and his mother,” Banks declares in the clip. “Period, ’cause it ain’t you sis.”

The TikToker did not elaborate on his Oedipal opinion, simply captioning the clip: “Facts.”

Many women dealing with “monster-in-law” mamas must have seen the video, which received strong support and hundreds of agreeable comments.

“Damn…literally the reason for my breakup. He and his mom,” one viewer wrote.

“Same sister. I think we dodged a bullet,” another responded supportively.

“Been there done that! Mothers need to stay out of their children’s relationships,” a third female declared, hitting out at meddling moms.

But not everyone saw eye to eye — with several slamming Banks for attempting to divert blame to a woman.

“Why is it always somehow a woman’s fault for a man’s actions?” one naysayer questioned.

“Why are we always blaming the moms? A lot of the times it’s absent or toxic fathers,” another declared.

Banks frequently shares viral videos on TikTok identifying men’s “toxic” behavior. He describes his empowering advice for women as “toxic therapy.”

And while Banks’ theory about moms may have divided social media, some studies back up his assertion that they can cause problems in relationships.

A study published in the Evolutionary Psychological Science journal earlier this year found that both men and women report having more conflict with their mothers-in-law (44%) than with their own mothers (39%).

Meanwhile, research from the University of Cambridge Centre for Family Research published in 2016 found that rifts between parents and their son’s wife are among the most common reasons for family estrangement.
