Girlfriends Had A Spin Off??

One very curious twitter user set off a domino of reactions from faithful Girlfriends fans after Tracee Ellis Ross replied to their inquiry. Tracee says Tia’s character on The Game had actually started on Girlfriends as her cousin.

So…The Game was a Girlfriend‘s spin-off this WHOLE time?? How many of YOU actually knew this?

It was a spin off. @TiaMowry character was #JoanClatyons cousin https://t.co/VsQzqdjOOx

We found the exact episode of Girlfriends where Tia (Melanie) first appeared. Interesting.

If your mind is blown, you’re not a lone. Hit the flips to see how Tracee shattered temples with this The Game/Girlfriends inception.
