Couples typically enter into a post-nuptial agreement when the financial circumstances of one member change dramatically. 

‘He about to clean her out. You know they don’t have no prenup. They got married when she was poor,’ one concerned fan wrote. 

‘Prob got jealous after her success, started acting diff, ‘ another fan opined, while a third person stated, ‘He about to clean her out.’

‘He’s gonna try to take half of everything off of 3 years of marriage,’ one fan wrote and added a crying emoji.

‘That thang wasn’t thangin’ right? You need a long lasting King, sis,’ one gentleman wrote. 

‘Quinta Brunson is about to have a H๏τ girl summer,’ another fan predicted.

Quinta is best known for creating, executive producing, co-writing and starring as a second-grade teacher in Abbott Elementary which debuted in December 2021.

Teachers and their work were at the beginning of a politicized debate that continues to this day.

By setting the sitcom in the present and taking up the day-to-day challenges of teaching, it made itself as relatable as it was revolutionary for sitcoms at the time.

In a culture that often values viral moments, Abbott offered a more humanizing perspective. 

The Temple University graduate credited her home city of Philadelphia as she noted in an interview with Good Morning America, ‘I think it works because of Philadelphia.’

She described lightheartedly, ‘Philadelphia is this richly diverse, dirty, horrible city sometimes and we can all share our dirt with each other and I think that’s what you’re going to get in that episode.’

The TV star then reflected, ‘Sorry, Philly. There’s probably a nicer way to say that.’
