Cookie Johnson is one tough "cookie" God bless her heart because having a husband who has HIV and a gay son must be extremely hard in today's society.

Holding my son's hand when he FINALLY told me, was the greatest feeling of all. Fast forward 15years later I embraced his twin as he FINALLY told me.... my boys, my heart

Lord help us to be ready when you come

My daughter started to mess around with this lesbian thing while in college. Some people are so easily led by others. Then one day while living at home she comes to her dad and me and say, I'm not gay anymore! I new she wasn't raised this way and I knew it was the influence of others and wanting to fit in. By the grace of God she is happily married and has a beautiful little boy Max.

God Bless Magic and his family! I am a lifelong celtics fan. I was diagnossed with Leukemia at 38. Magic inspires me and millions of others living with chronic disease. Magic taught me to Never quit

EJ is a perfect blend of mom and dad. ❤️❤️

Strong woman, she's an amazingly forgiving wife as well as an unconditionally loving mother.

She’s a great mother and wife 👏🏾

no matter what gay or straight a mother's love is unconditional

First and foremost no one is born gay I myself went through a confused stage only because before I got adopted I was molested in the foster home again that is only the enemy trying to make people believe that they're born gay I thank God that he delivered me from it. I thank God that he made me see when I was blind and now I'm dwell with the Holy Spirit in the process now writing a book about this main issue because if not anything it needs to be said by someone who used to be in that lifestyle and found God and I'm not ashamed to say it. I'm not ashamed to tell everybody and I'm not ashamed for someone to judge me because I will face that. The enemies plan is to make believe that they were born that way a lot of men that I knew mothers was not involved in their lives a lot of men that I knew fathers were not in their lives or was raped or molested a lot of women that I knew either they got molested or they got raped, physically abused them or a man did them wrong in a marriage by cheating so the enemy put into their mind that the same sex wouldn't do that. People Satan is after our children and teens like he started with me.Also to make them think its normal with all this Gay agenda. Its the trick of the enemy folks if you're out there living in that lifestyle the enemy comes to steal kill and destroy and as a Christian I'm obligated to tell people the truth because the truth will set you free and Truth is the Bible and the Holy Spirit and God which is the Holy Spirit. Thru his blood you free from whatever you think you cant be delivered of he will deliver you from anything that you're dealing with you can't keep things secret because that's another thing the enemy would do I have friends telling me old why you writing this book people are going to say things I don't care because I know who I am now in Christ see when you start keeping secrets not telling the whole truth like Juanito by them about her lifestyle when she could have just as easily probably been helping others get out of that other women that's when the enemy got you right there instead of being one step ahead and telling the truth of who you used to be and not be ashamed so that when other people see the change they too can have hope and know that God is the one who can change you if you allow him so that when people see you all the Glory goes to him and only him STOP it! STOP saying that people are born that way stop thinking that you were born that way it's a perverse, confused spirit, that the enemy brings to you when he see a door open so that he can keep you entangled in sin. Also Christians need to also be honest about their past and not be ashamed and not worry about what other people think so that unbelievers can see how he delivered you also.Nobody is perfect we have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory Of God so be a blessing instead of judging. God is looking for people with a pure and fearless hearts to minister to others who have the same problems as you too at one point before you got saved had.

Cookie looks like a combination of Natalie Cole and Kenya Moore.

I'm so glad this interview is out there and magic talks about this in interviews also. I really hope they have helped other parents get to a good place

She is a GREAT MOTHER , this is wonderful to see the 2 of them so close. It warms my heart.

When our children are born I don't think any mother looks at them and says I hope you grow to be gay. When my daughter came out to at first I was in denial. But I realized that she is my child and that she is a gift from God. No matter you have a son or a daughter who is gay your job as a parent is to love them unconditionally.

I think that Cookie's a strong woman .. May peace be unto her and her family.

I've never been in a situation where I had to be with someone that was diagnosed with such a deadly disease. But I do understand when they is love it can conquer any and everything. I am really proud and I respect their relationship and I respect her most of all for sticking by her husband regardless of the circumstances and how he might have contracted it. But that gives me hope that one day there is someone that can love me just that much because I had that love and my heart waiting to share with someone else. Thank you for showing the world what love really is

where have we gone as a society that we embrace mental illness instead of treating it?

What a strong but loving woman cookie is. God bless her. I have alot of admiration for her watching these youtubes into her life. We all need a cookie in our lives.

I teared up. Oh...what mamas do for their children!

We need more parents like you both 🙏🏾

I am a female, and I was attracted to women at a very young age, but people must understand that the jealous one called Satan will whisper to you at an early age how to think and how to be. We must learn to be like Jesus wants us to be, listen to his voice. I am so elated that Jesus came in my life and saved me. I will never be in a lesbian relationship again. I love Jesus.

This is Love overcoming a multitude of sin. Cookie is the epitome of what unconditional love is.

It amazes how everyone is commenting on how Cookie is a strong woman. But had she just hooked up with an ordinary man who was doing the same thing that Magic did & forgave him, she would be considered a "weak" woman. People would be commenting talking how she was stupid for staying with a cheater who brought home HIV. But I guess if the man is rich & famous then it's ok. I swear, how ironic!

Believe she is deep down inside she is hurting and when Them doors close she is crying her ❤ out behind her Husband and her child. So 😢

So down to earth & loving! He’s a lucky young man!

This is what unconditional love looks like, folks and it’s a beautiful thing to behold!

No matter what I'm glad they have a good relationship that more important.

at least there's genuine love there...and that's all that matters.

Beautiful interview 😌I'm glad that there are parents like this that love their children unconditionally & don't try to change who they are or "force" their beliefs on them 🙌🏾🙌🏾

GOD BLESS MAGIC, COOKIE, THEIR SON E.J. AND THE REST OF THEIR FAMILY.

Cookie has a heart of gold. Staying with Magic and then accepting her son's preference. May the Lord continue to Bless her.

People don't want to believe that the Bible is God's Word. I can remember way back in the 70s hearing that there will come a time the World will be like sodom and Gomorrah in the last days. and that's what's happening now. The bible is being fulfilled. It's in the bible Luke 17:28 If you don't read the bible than you don't know. The bible is gods word.

She is an enabler.

At the beginning and end of the day that’s your baby and that’s all you see. At least that’s I see. Absolutely love my baby.

Cookie I salute you, you are my hero you show women the need to stand by their vows ,you make marriage look amazing you just stayed in it when others would have run off and raised an intelligent kid and also built the magic empire.

EJ looks like his mother ❤️

a mother love for her children is unconditional no matter what or whom you become! 😘

shes a great mom, we need more moms just like cookie johnson

That was a great interview. So calm & relaxed and good energy between the mom & son.

I hope EJ matures beyond the money and the fashion and does something with his life. He comes from a privileged home and could really make a difference in the world. Right now he’s just just enjoying the clothes, the make up, the spotlight. Make something of yourself! Don’t JUST be Magic’s flaming son with his dad’s support. That’s great that you feel comfortable now but there’s more to life. Go find it.

I take my hat off to Ms. Cookie, that is one strong woman, and the face of what unconditional love looks like. Many people can learn from her,she has gone through, and came through her storms still standing.

So blessed to have a wonderful Mom and Dad÷

This kid is 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙌❤️🔥🙏🥂. EJ will have a media empire. He’s THAT GOOD!

& THAT is when you began to grow in your self empowerment: when you are allowed to be who you are and are reassured by the love of those most important to you❤

Sin sin sin! What a confused world we live in.

awww that is so beautiful too bad all parents can't be like that

I be damn! Magic + Cookie = Cupcake.

EJ's eye makeup is on point. His personality seems so big. He'd be hella cool to hang out with. Good for his parents for accepting him for who he is.

Rip that spirit out of him in the name of Jesus Christ!

Lord deliver this man from that spirit That has gained control of this man.

because you are his mom, your job is discipline

just by watching her talk to her son in this interview tells me she still hasnt come to grips or accepted that he is the way he is

Its been 25 years of lying. smh

I’m glad they are a happy family now... they have came a line way. I’m glad magic was about to accept it. He is not perfect at all. I’m sure he is happy that his past didn’t break up his family. They are all still by his side regardless.

As a parent. I would lose my mind if I was forced by society to refer my son by the opposite sex.

That was so dear kudos to Cookie and E.J. Johnson .

The problem with videos like this is the thumbnail. Y’all made it seem as if it would be a shady, dramatic interview. Anyone knows that EJ has a beautiful, loving relationship with BOTH his parents. This interview doesn’t represent the thumbnail and I knew it.

Magic is a lucky dude....Nov 1991 it look like his life was over!! Cookie stood by her man in his time of need...and has been there ever since.Especially when she knew SHE wasn't HIV +....True Love

Imagine losing an NBA career to AIDS not even be close to the worst thing to ever happen to you.

he creeps me out so bad i couldn't continue watching

A mothers care and support is PRICELESS

OMG! Cookie I love you! E J is so fortunate to have you as a mother!

I have to respect you guys. Wish only the best that life has to offer.

Tell me why, Cookie never aged. I love her soooooo much.

Always support family and friends no matter what Who cares what society thinks

Honestly our parents unhappiness is an example of what we should not put ourselves through

She is such a blessing. Magic has a beautiful family with beautiful souls ❤

Amen for Magic Johnson Family

Thank You God I'm glad I was born with no issues like that!!!!!

Cookie's son look so much like her. A price to pay for fame and fortunes. A deal - sacrifice made before or after for elevation and worship to the highest of this dark world. Pray for this family and others who are going through something like this.

It is sad when parent are a great support in situations like this

This year marks the 30th year since the announcement. Thank God he's still alive.

i am ready for the negative comments but i don't care. This is the truth.. His face makes me sick to my stomach and its the truth. Not here to judge him but i feel sorry for him. Gaining the world and loosing his soul. Can't even finish watching this.

Damn, he makes Little Richard seem like macho.

Don't Matter wat he we're or Become he still human and still luv your child I have luv ❤️💙 for u do u don't give up keep doin wat u doin

she's amazing wife and mom happy mom day ms Cookie

instead of getting help for the boy she endorsed the behaviour. we need to live right so these things don't fall on our kids

Of course love your son but dont agree to it.

I love Ms cookie Johnson she is so strong

That was real ! #wow I felt that 🥰

I know a mother's love but this would break my heart.

Why was he cheating on her, she's so beautiful, and how do u make 3 babies without getting infected? Its a miracle.

we need more Mother's like cookie.

He look like both his parents with his mother eyes, lips & smile.

Cookie appears genuine!

Cookie reminds me of Natalie Cole, SUCH A GREAT MOM!

EJ is a handsome young man. praying for his family and him.

People, Just because your young son plays with dolls doesn't mean you must push him to be a girl. All my sons and brothers played with dolls when they were young boys --they cut the hair of every Barbie and I was missing doll limbs--I didn't see proof that they're now gay and I must treat them as girls. Today they're all men living lives as such. Stop pushing this, because it is a sin and completely unnatural. No matter how many thumbs down or cussing out I receive, acting like it's only about LOVE and nothing else, will never make a man leaving a vagina to put his penis in another man's anus, acceptable or natural

all this TV shyt need to stop she know she dont feel comfortable with her life. inside

Lord help us all cuz it's a time!!!

I can be uncomfortable with indifferences of what people see has uncommon lifestyle's. Yet certain people can share their stories with such humility, and serenity that nothing really matters at all. Freedom to everyone is true Freedom for All ❤️

This woman allowed this and enabled this

The Moms are always the rock of the family!!

Once you dead There’s no repentance, Come to Jesus while you still have time

He looks just like his beautiful mother.

I just love this mother ... and now I know who EJ leaves

When you love someone you give them truth. This is sad and total against Gods will.

Let the healing begin for Cookie and her family!!

I think by him publicly admitting he had HIV, he didn't make it a secret that they had to find out, made his career after retiring more successful. Honesty

Remember those who judged or dare to judge you are not God and only God can judge and the only one you should judge is yourself and your actions, full-stop. Always, wishing blessings on all no matter your life circumstances and or choices and that the world is always a bright, happy and most of all a loving one.
