Tina Collins recently confronted Mark Johnson over his insinuation that she is an “absent mother.” Since the announcement of their separation in May, tensions between the two have been escalating. The former couple, who were together for a decade, share three children—7-year-old Liam, 6-year-old Ella, and 4-year-old Max—who have become central figures in what seems to be a co-parenting disagreement that Collins has now publicly addressed in the comments of one of Johnson’s Instagram posts.
Mark posted a picture over the weekend showcasing his Halloween costume alongside little Max in his own costume. While the post appeared innocent, Collins had some reservations about sharing images of their children online. She expressed her concerns directly in the comments, stating, “Why does Max have to be in this picture? It’s not hard to crop them out or select photos where they aren’t present. I had an amazing Halloween with them yesterday, yet they’re noticeably absent from my social media.”
Collins added, “I know you love our children. But I don’t understand why you can’t stop using them to create an image on Instagram. You seem so focused on perpetuating the narrative that I’m an absent mother while you take on the role of the dedicated dad. You have them half of the time. Kudos to you! But why do you need validation from the internet for what should be evident in the way our kids adore you?”
Johnson later removed the original photo and replaced it with a cropped image featuring just himself and Max. Since their split, their children have frequently appeared on Johnson’s social media, while Collins shares far fewer glimpses of them. Tensions flared previously when Collins posted a photo with her new partner, Jake Smith, captioned, “Incredibly beautiful boy… You have my heart.” Shortly after, Johnson posted pictures of the kids with a similar caption, seemingly aimed at Collins.
Let’s hope that by taking her grievances public, Collins can put an end to the criticisms regarding her parenting. Co-parenting after a breakup is challenging, but for the sake of their children, we wish for a more peaceful resolution between the two.
