Whew! A man who calls himself the “toxic therapist” is currently going viral on Tiktok after causing controversy for declaring that a man’s mother is always a key component in a failed relationship.
Jamaal Banks, known on TikTok as @jayoffline, made the debatable claim in a video that has gained more than 8 million views. “If your relationship fails, don’t just blame him. Sweetie, it takes two — him and his mother,” Banks writes over the clip. “Period, ’cause it ain’t you sis.”

The TikToker did not elaborate on his viral video, simply captioning the clip: “Facts.”
Many women began to flood the comments agreeing with the post. “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 intervening moms.
There were some commenters who did not like the posts and slammed the viral tiktok creator.
“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.
According to the NY Post, a study recently was released that the claims the tiktoker made might actually have some truth to it. 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.
