"Being alone has been the most challenging part of my divorce. It's times like this when I feel and wish that my sister and I were still close and I could pick up the phone and call her, but that's just not where we are right now."

"Things are always taken out of context" — Tia Mowry reacts to rumors surrounding statement on twin sister

In her latest US Weekly interview, Tia Mowry was asked how she and her sibling felt about the rumors that arose from her statement. Terming it as "not surprising", Tia stated:

“When you’ve been in this industry for over 30 years, things are always taken out of context and it is what it is. The only thing that I can do is control my behaviors and be the best person that I could possibly be, and that’s what both of us are. We are incredible, inspiring examples, and we have been that all our lives. So, why change that now?”

Tia shed more light on her statement from the docuseries trailer. She stated that as everyone grows up they eventually start their own families and their children need them. She said that her remark was all about how siblings take on new roles and responsibilities within their lives and that it was all she was insinuating.

The actress talked about needing close ones near during times of turmoil and stated:

“In these transitions in life, sometimes you just want a hug and you just want someone to be as accessible as they used to be, and that is not the case. It’s called life.”
