‘There’s a part of me that would like to do that, and I always make up these excuses like, “Oh, I need a million dollars in the bank before I do that, I need this, I need that,”‘ she said. ‘But really, it’s that I would hate to give birth to someone that looks like me … knowing that they’re gonna be hunted or killed.

‘Like, why would I put someone through that?’

Anthony, who shares 13-year-old son Kiyan with wife La La Anthony, responded, ‘it’s scary to even think about that.’

The Like a Boss star said that it’s an aspect of life that ‘white people don’t have to think about,’ about two months after the death of 46-year-old security guard George Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of former police officer Derek Chauvin, who was charged in the incident.
