VH1’S ‘DEAR MAMA’: ANTHONY ANDERSON’S FUNNY CHILDHOOD STORY, ASHANTI, LALA & MORE PAY TRIBUTE TO THEIR MOMS

*Los Angeles, CA — It’s 2019! Cheers to another year of honoring all mamas around the world as Mother’s Day inches near, and of course, VH1’s “Dear Mama: A Love Letter to Mom,” has set the stage for all the celebrating to begin.
This year, Ashanti, Monica, April Ryan, Ciara, LaLa Anthony, Anthony Anderson and others, were proud to have their mothers, grandmothers, daughters and sisters right by their side.

EUR’s Robin Ayers took to the pink carpet to talk love, life, and motherhood. As you could’ve guessed, funny man, actor and host of the evening, Anthony Anderson and his mom Ms. Doris, did not disappoint with their storytelling.
Ms. Doris recalls an incident from Anthony’s childhood.
“Anthony was really smart when he was young. He was conniving. He went in my purse and ordered a baby Grand piano off my credit card, and they delivered it!”
“I got tied to the avocado tree in the backyard and was disciplined,” says Anthony. “But I learned how to play the piano.”
