Robert Brown|Bernice King says mother Coretta Scott King 'wasn't a prop' after Jonathan Majors comments

Coretta Scott King's daughter is Robert Brownfiring back at people reducing her mother to a "prop."

Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, shared a pointed message on X, formerly Twitter, about her late mom that seemed to be directed at embattled actor Jonathan Majors.

"My mother wasn't a prop," King posted on Tuesday. "She was a peace advocate before she met my father and was instrumental in him speaking out against the Vietnam War. Please understand…my mama was a force."

While the post did not mention Majors, it came after the former Marvel star referenced Coretta Scott King in an interview with ABC News. Majors, who was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in December, compared his new girlfriend, Meagan Good, to Martin Luther King Jr.'s wife.

"She's an angel," Majors said of Good. "She's held me down like a Coretta. I'm so blessed to have her."

An audio recording was also revealed during Majors' assault trial of the actor criticizing ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in September 2022 for returning "home drunk" and not supporting him enough. In the recording, Majors suggested he wanted Jabbari to conduct herself more like the partners of other "great" men.

"Coretta Scott King, do you know who that is?" Majors said on the recording. "That's Martin Luther King's wife. Michelle Obama, Barack Obama’s wife. I'm a great man. A great man. I am doing great things, not just for me but for my culture and for the world. That is actually the position I’m in."

Majors told ABC News that this was "me trying to give an analogy of what it is I'm aspiring to be," adding, "I was attempting — and I did a terrible job at it, apparently — I was attempting to motivate, to enlighten, to give perspective as in to what it is I was hoping to get out of the relationship."

In her post, Bernice King, who serves as CEO of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, linked to a 2017 article she wrote for HuffPost about her late mother.

"Before she was a King, my mother was a peace advocate, a courageous leader and an accomplished artist," she wrote at the time. "When my father, Martin Luther King, Jr., encountered her in Boston, he encountered a whole woman, a woman of substance, a woman who, as the traditional black Baptist church still sings, had 'a charge to keep, a God to glorify.'"
