Gabourey Sidibe may be remembered forever for her role in Precious, but her mama is famous in her own right – she rocks the NYC subway three times a week to belt out soul classics!
Alice Tan Ridley, formerly a nursery school teacher and teacher’s aide, told the New York Post that she makes enough to support her family by singing. “When I come home at the end of the day, I have enough to pay my bills and feed my kids,†she said, adding, “My name is not on Gabby’s paycheck.â€
The singer also shared that she helped Gabby land her incredible role. “Four years ago, they asked me to play the part of the mother,†she said. “But being a mom and teacher, I just couldn’t play that part. It was just too hard.
but ups to a real mother not living off her child paycheck..
She puts mother like Frankie and Fantasia’s mother to shame. This woman can sing and she is not trying to live off of her daughters money, she works very hard.
Wow! What a hustle.

Why shouldn’t parents expect from their children? Regardless off what a mother has, most children want to take care of their parents. You guys are ignorant and most likely to leave your parents in a Nursing home.
