What was meant to celebrate a proud Senior Night at Southeast Raleigh High turned emotional after a stepmom’s bold move stole the spotlight.
What should have been a special night for one Southeast Raleigh High School senior football player turned into a viral mess after his stepmother decided to insert herself into his big moment.
The player’s mother, Je-baby HanginNHazelL, took to Facebook on November 1, posting an emotional message that has since blown up online.
“This lady was sad and my son was devastated that his dad allowed this of his stepmom. I have custody of all of my kids! My son told me last night and everyone that she don’t care about his future—just what she gets out of things,” Je-baby wrote.
During the senior walkout, the stepmother boldly showed up in a “Senior Mom” shirt—while the father was right beside her in a matching “Senior Dad” shirt.
The teen looked visibly uncomfortable, even gesturing away when the stepmom tried to hold his hand.

Y’all come on just so you no the step mom name was called because the paperwork that the SON turned in a week before the event to me it seems like mama showed up last min and got mad that step mama still walked and didn’t stand down
The truth is the step mom and the dad has raised him with no help from the bio mom,she now shows up playing mom of the year.Thats why the son was upset
I agree with Katrina Suggs.
Oh I know it ain’t easy. Believe me.
But when there are multiple family members involved, zip ya lips and live with it.
Pray and only say positive words. You will never regret it.
The step-mom was way out of line. This was a time for the son and his biological parents only. I’d have shoved her to the side. Step-mom was rude and disrespectful. She deserved to be disciplined in front of everyone by the woman who birthed him.
There is enough love to go around
The most important thing is the wellbeing of this young man. Life is too short. Pray this doesn’t damage this young man mentally
Put God first ! Choose Love
My husband and I have been together 21 years in September and come December married 18. Our children are 36, 34, and 31. He has been there every step of the way. Dad hasn’t been adding in a long. They don’t disrespect their dad but they know who is going to be there for them: Papa, Pops, and Stepdaddy. Same with all 8 gbabies. This would have been discussed and settled when the school year started. Step mom was completely wrong. I don’t know how long she has been in his life but this is not how you handle this situation.
OAN: Hubby and I argued about this. He thinks that the mom pulled him away and that she should have let her have it.
Step-mom should have stepped back , senior night was the sons night and she truly took the spot light by walking in front of him like it was her night. Rest assured that if the son had wanted her to walk out with him she would have know a whole day or two ahead of time , so it seem like step mom was excluded and wanted to prove a point !!! that she would not be denied the opportunity to escort him out there with the father because she felt she had every right to be there . Step- moms and step- dads please love and care for your step kids out of love for them not out of show boating to win over the mother or the father , know that y’all have a whole separate relationship and it has nothing to do with the kids and if you make it about a point systemwith the kids then you are trifling and your love for the kids are not genuine. You’re using those kids to get where you want to be with the mother or the father.. please grow up and know your own worth so you don’t have to use your step kids to get your way you wanna be and know that the important moment in these kids lives should be based on what they want not what you want put your feelings aside and let these kids have their moments and their nights. Look you was apart of the night they made the child so step back now and don’t try to make yourself apart of it now unless that child ask you to be apart of it and if you have been genuine in your care, love and support for that child nine times out of 10 the child will ask you to be a part of this special night as well as a biological pants, but if not, still wear your crown and stay in your place because whatever you did for that child should’ve been out of love bottom line PERIOD .
The stepmom was out of line. But I’m glad the mom stayed classy with it and didn’t ruin her son moment.
