There is no deeper bond than that between a parent and their children, as complicated as it may get. First, there is the generational gap that is hard to overcome. Even if a child is right, a parent rarely relents on their stance.

On “Star,” this is often shown with Carlotta (Queen Latifah), as she often clashes with Star (Jude DeMorest) and Alex (Ryan Destiny). As she took on the motherly role, she inherited tough daughters. But, she is bonding with Simone (Brittany O’Grady).

Tonight’s “Star” episode sees Simone overdose and Carlotta immediately jumps to her aid. This sparks jealousy from Cotton (Amiyah Scott), as she questions if Carlotta wishes Simone was a daughter, leading her to say she had a son named Arnold, after her father. Their debate has Twitter showing up to speak on this divisive topic.
